SCORM compliant Learning Object Content Packager ?

Hi, we have been using AUthorware for e-learning courses running mostly in AICC based LMSs. When we try to test even the sample files on scorm TestTrack http://www.scorm.com/scorm-solved/testtrack/ we get just error message that the course is not able to initialize the LMS? Any idea what could get wrong?

We are using LMSKO, everything runs OK for AICC based courses, however now we have obtained enquiry for SCORM LMS and it seems that even the samples provided on Macromedia/Adobe pages - Full LMS Authorware Photography AW7 does not work when testing on www.scorm.com
The communication in our course is more-less based on these samples.

I am receiving an error message that my Adobe Captivate zip file is not a valid SCORM, AICC or IMS Content Package. What am I doing wrong?

I am receiving an error message that my Adobe Captivate zip file is not a valid SCORM, AICC or IMS Content Package. This zip file has been published identically to my previous zip files. What am I doing wrong?

First, go back into the CPTX source file and check that LMS reporting is indeed turned on and that it is set to SCORM etc.
If that is OK. Republish and use the Zip option in the Captivate Publish dialog settings to zip the file. Don't zip it yourself.
If your LMS still rejects this zip file, upload to SCORM Cloud and see if it rejects it too.

Error when launching SCORM Compliant Content

When launching a piece of SCORM Content, OLM is kicking out an error that says "Unable to Locate the LMS's API Implementation. Communication with the LMS will not occur"
We have verified the physical and virtual paths for the content server and the SCORM Adapter, but this error is still occuring. The Content plays after you accept the error message.
Has anyone experienced this type of error before? The content was developed using Camtasia (which I am not familiar with) but was published using SCORM 1.2
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Julie

Julie,
Check the troubleshooting section of the SCORM installation guide, metalink note id#374715.1
chances are the content is not frame friendly (look for javascript error indicator in the bottom left of your IE browser)
Partch #5943165 can help if this is the case "Provide option to launch learning object in new window " and described here:

Remove button in Content package - callable object in GP

Hi Friends,
I have created a callable object of type content package. I have used this E-Learning document Link : [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/08d689d1-0c01-0010-c69c-808d2b1111d7]. I am able to test and execute the process in GP. But there is a button "OK" which is shown on the page. But I want to remove it. Could you please provide me with the options for removing the button. If it is not possible, what would be the alternate option that I could use?
Thanks in advance!
Saravanan

Hi Abhay,
                 While creating the Callable Object Select "Webdynpro Component (GP Interface) and click on next. In the next screen you will see the deployed wdynpro components and select your webdynpro component with correct name space.
                  You have to add some DCs in Used DCs and add an implemented interface WebDynproCO. Then you will see a window created with this name "WebDynproCO".
                  Then this Interface will generate two frame work methods getDescription( ) and execute( ) in your component's Interface controller. Along with these 2 you should explicitly declare the 3rd method complete( ) and write the corresponding code in these 3 methods.
                   If you need forther help, Let me know and also let me know at which point you need help.

Limit to number of tests and learning objects in a Content folder in OLM

All,
Before I ask my question I want to preference a few things:
1. My company has been using OLM for approximately 2 years.
2. For the most part we use OLM to track compliance, meaning that we use Online tests to track compliance to specific company standard operating procedures. Which as you can imagine is a lot of documents.
So, with this is mind. We setup a course, offiering (with associated test) and class to determine if an employee has completed reviewing the changes to a document, as each document revises.
Now to my question...
Today we noticed that some of the tests for this compliance process in OLM were not being displayed. All of the tests exist in their own folder for this process. Note: There is a single content folder on the content tab of OLM for all of these tests. And when we check the count from the front end we see that there are 1001 displayed from the dministrator front end of OLM.
However, some of these are not listed here. Even eif you click next all the way to item (test) number 1001.
So, Is there a limit to the number of test or learning objects that can exist in a content folder in OLM?
If so what is this limit? Is it 1000? 1001?
My understanding is that you cannot move a test in the content hierarchy, if it is bound to a folder or even a parent learning oject it forever stays there. And you cannot delete it once it has attempts against it.
So where does this leave us... We know that some of the tests in this content folder are missing because our catalog has less items in the same associated folder. In other words we have better organization in the catalog (for courses, offering and classess, because each course has its own folder. So if we go to a known missing Offering we can determine the learning object / test associated with it. If we copy the name of this test and search for it on the Content tab it is in fact found.
So we know it is there and we know that people have competed it as a result of the status of the enrollment, yet we cannot go to it on the Content tab.
This leaves me baffled.
Is there any way that we can get to these from the Administrator Front end? Can we move them on the back end?
Any help anyone can provide is sincerely appreciated. I am doing a deep dive with my IT staff on this next week to come to some resolution on this, because we have had to halt our process until we have a resolution.
Thanks for your help!

Hey Brian,
I believe you should be able to personalize the number of rows displayed to overcome the pre-defined limit.
Or check this thread, it might help.

Captivate Learning Objects Cause LMS to Close

I have multiple learning objects that were created in Captivate 4. The e-learning course was then compiled in Lectora. The course plays perfectly when exported as "HTML Only" and loaded on a web-server. However, when the course is exported as SCORM 1.2 and loaded into an LMS, the course closes prematurely after the AS2 pre-loader. I did not publish the SWFs from Captivate with SCORM communication because they are being used as learning objects in Lectora. Is it necessary for the SWFs to also be publish as SCORM compliant? Any other factors that could be causing the interactions to close the LMS session?

Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I agree that the variables that need to be considered in
selecting an LMS for an organisation are considerable in number.
The conventional approach is to begin with the needs of the
organisation and set these against LMS products that vendors offer
aided by independent evaluation reports from the likes of Brandon
Hall, Bersin Associates etc; you gather the information, do a
matrix type or other analysis, do try outs of a short list and then
presto out comes decision: the magic package that appears to meet
all needs you have identified. Just then cost and the notoriously
rapid obsolescence of LMS products begin to gnaw.
No thanks! I have decided to turn the conventional approach
upside down for technical and business reasons.
And thanks for the Moodle advice. Good system; I have visited
and keep an eye on developments there. However, I see Moodle as a
platform that is largely oriented towards the educational sector.
Nothing wrong with that, but my focus is on other sectors.

Implementing 3rd party SCORM compliant software onto Oracle ilearning

I am having real trouble uploading SCORM compliant software into Oracle iLearning can anyone help??

Hi,
I've implemented quite a lot of 3rd party SCORM content onto iLearning and have to say it is rarely as easy as it's supposed to be due to the nuances of different authoring tools, production techniques and SCORM packaging methods.
Could you let me know a little more detail on the errors you are geting and I'll see if I can help.

LMS Content Packager Extensions Question

Does anyone have experience with the three content packager
extensions for Learning Management Systems (LMS') and are you aware
of which SCORM edition these packagers were written for? I have
found incompatabilities between The Content Packager for IMS and
the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Testing Suite. I have not been
successful in creating a package that will pass based on this
Extension.
I found three packagers listed - and all of them seem to be
three years old or older.
Content Packager for IMS for
Dreamweaver 8
Content Packager for IMS for Dreamweaver MX 2004
The Content Packager for IMS
Any ideas?

I believe "Content Packager for IMS" (aka "L5 SCORM
Producer") extensions are stuck back in SCORM 1.2. They only
package the IMS Manifest and the wrappers (if you choose to use
them). I could be wrong, but I think if they are to pass SCORM 2004
conformance tests, they require the XSD and DTD files as
well.

SCORM compliant Flash quizzes

Hi all
Here's another SCORM question that probably won't get
answered, but it goes.
Looking through Flash Help section, there's a section called
"Creating E-Learning Content". Within that, it goes into detail
about creating quizzes from templates and such.
Now I was looking through this section, because it has some
info about SCORM compliant Flash, and it says:
"To initialize SCORM tracking, you must use a quiz template."
Is this true? I have to use one of Flash's ugly templates?
I've also seen SCORM compliant Flash examples that don't use
templates or components at all.
Does anyone have any insight on any of this? Because
everywhere I've looked so far has just gotten me more confused and
aggravated. There's not a lot of detail out there, and anything
that is out there seems to be either outdated, or contradicted by
something else I found.
Your help is appreciated as always.
Thanks again
Chris

I hadn't heard of SCORM before but it seems to be about e-learning stuff and therefore likely related similar to Captivate content.
This is unlikely to work currently since it probably depends upon audio and/or video support which Wallaby currently lacks.

Is there any way of creating a layout which is SCORM compliant?

I have Robohelp 10. Is there any way to use the content already captured in Robohelp to make a SCORM compliant layout?

My understanding of SCORM is that it is an eLearning standard. As RoboHelp is not an eLearning tool it does not have SCORM capabilitiy. You could use Adobe Captivate that has SCORM compliance and then embed your simulations, etc. into a RoboHelp topic. Maybe you could investigate this track.

NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch learning object in new window

NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch a learning object in a new window from the player
Background:
When content is launched from Oracle Learning Management, it is presented within the Oracle Learning Management player frameset. If the content is not on the same server as Oracle Learning Management, this can cause issues with content that is not "frame-friendly". In order to work around this issue in the past, customers either needed to modify their content to be frame-friendly, or create a "splash" page to load in the Oracle Learning Management player, which in turn would open a new window displaying the content. This also caused integration compatibility issues with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Web Conferencing.
Feature:
This new feature eliminates the need to utilize a splash page or modify content that is not frame-friendly, as it allows you to safely open the content in a separate window from the Oracle Learning Management player, while maintaining all tracking capabilities.
The new Open in New Window check box is provided on the learning object properties page.
When the learner launches a learning object where this check box is checked, the player opens as normal and presents a "splash" page with some instructional text. This splash page then opens a new window for the content.
The splash page also checks for the presence of a pop-up blocker that may block the new window from opening. If this occurs, the learner receives an alert indicating that a pop-up blocker has prevented the content window from opening.
Action/Notes:
By default, the Open in New Window check box is NOT selected for any learning object, whether created before or after the patch is applied. Therefore, if you do not plan to use this feature, no action is necessary.
For those customers who do want to take advantage of this feature, you must edit your learning objects individually and select the Open in New Window check box on the learning object properties page.
This new feature is independent of the Open in New Window check box in the player preferences section of the offering properties page, which opens the player in a separate window. If both check boxes are selected, the Oracle Learning Management player opens in a separate window, then the content opens in another separate window.
Availability:
* Installed or OnDemand Customers -- This patch is available now via Metalink. Patch # 5943165
Enjoy!

Please,
I need help, I don´t know why the next message display "cannot display the page", just some seconds, after display the course.
Do you know why??, is some problem configuration or connection??

OLM - Merging Multiple Learning Objects into One

Does anyone have experience or success merging multiple OLM learning objects into one? I think that we are supposed to be able to do this by exporting a content folder that contains all the learning objects that we want to merge into one CBT. The export works for me, and the learning object plays, but the content is not complete or combined. I noticed that the new content contains files called metadata(0).xml and metadata(1).xml representing the two learning objects that I tried to merge into one. I wonder if there's something I'm supposed to do with these files. Has anyone been successful in merging content?

Content can be combined into a course structure like:
Course Learning Object
-- Topic 1 learning object
-- Topic 2 learning object
By creating a parent "course" learning object and moving the individual objects underneath it. The offering is then tied to that course learning object, so that when a user enrolls, in order to complete it the user navigates through both objects.
You cannot combine all the pages from separate objects into a single learning object as the pages themselves have no knowledge of each other.
Does that make sense?

SCORM compliant SWF file stills hangs on loading screen

I am using Captivate 5.0 v 5.0.2.630 . I have checked for the latest patches and updates and my software is up to date including the patch that was supposed to correct the problem I am having.
I have a SCORM-compliant course and the SWF file hangs at the loading screen. This usually only happens after the user has launched and exited the course without completing it. But is has happened once with an initial launch of the course. The problem seems to be more prevalent if the user’s browser is Mozilla but it has also happened in IE
The LMS I am using supports both AICC and SCORM compliant content.
I have also changed the scorm_support.js file from var g_nAPI = 0 to var g_nAPI = 1 which was suggested in a March 21 blog post.
Any suggestions would be very gratefully appreciated.

I am having a similar issue. I took the update earlier this week and it seemed to be working until a user fails the quiz and exits the course. When they return to the course it sticks on the grey loading screen - infinitely.
Any suggestions would be most helpful!
We are using IE7
