SCORM Content

Does any one know of "top down" & "bottom up" Scorm Content ? I am new to this and did not understand how does this work. If there is any document for the same do pass it on to me.

It's not that the content itself that is "top down" or "bottom up" per se, it's the mechanism in which the content uses to find the SCORM API which enables communication between the content and the LMS... and perhaps "outside in" vs. "inside out" are better terms. Typically the javascript functions used to locate the SCORM API are in a javascript file like APIFunctions.js or SCOFunctions.js and are typically named "FindAPI" and "GetAPI" Depending on how the functions are written, they will either start at the top/outermost section of the browser window hierarchy, working it's way inward through frames to locate the API, or it will start from the innermost frame and work its way outward to find the API.
"Inside out" is the preferred mechanism, especially if the content is on a different server from the LMS and the content is being played within Oracle iLearning/OLM's player framset. Fortunately, in both Oracle iLearning and OLM, a feature was added in case to allow the content to open in a separate window from the player (a property at the learning object level in both products that can be set), so that if the content is looking from the outside in, the content will work fine with either product without changing those functions.
The only downside is that you have a second window open displaying the content, rather than the content being displayed directly in the player window itself....
The feature to open the content in a new window is available as a patch for both products on metalink.

Error With SCORM Content W Latest Version of Sun Java (1.6.0_10)

We're getting an error with users running the more recent version of Sun Java 1.6.0_10, but not with previous versions. This happens for all our SCORM content.
The Java logs are showing a lot of data, but the main symptoms seem to be:
network: CrossDomainXML: connection to host <our LMS server address> denied
LMS Error: 304 - Security exception
and
Error stack trace:
oracle.apps.ota.lms.LMSException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission <our LMS server address> connect,resolve)
and
Returned: "false"
*** LMSGetLastError() [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "304"
*** LMSGetErrorString("304") [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "Security exception"
Our crossdomain.xml fille is configured correctly, and also previous versions of JRE are not having the problem (the Java logs look clean).
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi All
Got a similar issue with the tracking / bookmarking of sessions - when on sun Java update 7 all is well however when update 10 or 11 is installed then SCROM session start on page 1 not the page you were on, also as expected they do not get marked as complete.
Two things happen
1) A small window is left for - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/relogin.jsp] - URL
2) We get an Error on page - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/lms.jsp] - URL
Looked for the Plugin section as per a pervious within the Java Control panel - but I'm not seeing it.
We use iLearn 5.0 and I am begining to think we need a patch but unsure which.
Thanks

Looking for a SCORM Player or LMS to run Captivate SCORM content (in place of Blackboard 9.1)

Greetings,
Background:
We are trying to run Captivate produced SCORM 1.2 in Blackboard 9.1 and are running into several problems (See http://discussions.blackboard.com/forums/p/49773/152443.aspx Please post any solutions to the problems described in that thread in that thread rather than here).
One of the options we are considering is playing and tracking our SCORM content in a separte LMS or with a different SCORM player.
The question:
Can anybody recommend any (ideally free) LMS or SCORM players that have been tested to work with Captivate CS5?
Many thanks for your help.
Andrew Downes

Thanks, that's helpful. Moodle looks like an option then; the challenge will be finding a way to integrate the Moodle SCORM player with Blackboard.
What other LMSs or SCOPRM players are people using successfully (or unsucessfully) with Captivate? is anybody else using Moodle?
I'm espeically keen to hear from anybody who has found a free SCORM player and integrated it with their LMS/VLE and got it to play and track captivate content well. Has anybody tried integrating the Reload player with thier LMS and running a Captivate SCORM?
Thanks.

SCORM Content metadata can be imported but content files cannot be uploaded

Hi all,
When I try to import SCORM content via a zip file, the metadata is loaded but not the files. We are running 12.1.3 of the OEBS and this is occurring with Oracle Learning Management.
The my oracle support article, Installing SCORM Compliant Content on Oracle Learning Management [ID 374715.1] refers to this issue in the troubleshooting section and suggests that we look at Article ID#374677.1, but this new article has no resolution that I can find to the issue.
Any ideas from the community?
Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

Issue Playing SCORM Content on iLearning 5.0b

Hey there - anyone else have an issue playing SCORM content on iLearning 5.0b where you have a version of Sun JRE later than 10 and the "Enable next generation Java plugin" setting in its control panel checked (which is the default on install)?
We experienced this issue with OLM and Oracle issued a patch and updated SCORM adapter that fixed the issue for our OLM instance but I can't seem to find anything related to an updated iLearning SCORM adapter.
Thanks

Lee, I think patch #7565299 solves this if I recall correctly.

OLM Scorm Content Viewing Problem

Hello,
We are on R12.0.6 and have a SCORM content (swf) loaded with CMI tracking type.
In the system some of the users can view the content without any errors but some get LMS connection error from the content itself (the content provider's error handling screen we can say) . Thus the problem is not for all the users I've focudes on local settings but still could not figure out the cause.
Are there any browser or local setting rules such as "Scripting should be enabled","Adobe Flash should be version 8 or higher" etc that may cause this?
Thanks & Regards,
Guclu

Have you ensure that the users encountering errors have Java installed and enabled in their browser?
You can have those users go to http://www.javatester.org/version.html to check what version they have installed if any and if it is enabled.
That most likely is the cause.

Do our users have to install Flash player to see our scorm content?

I am currently creating a scorm content using Captivate 5.5 within Moodle.
My question is do our users have to pre-install Flash player to see our scorm module?
If so, is there any way we can avoid it?
One idea that I thought of is to install flash player on a moodle server.
Is it possible to do so, or this is something that I do not need to worry about?
Sami

Hi Sami,
I think, It's hard to find any user who might not have Flash Player already install on their browser.
Google Chrome has it inbuilt and most of the browser they get installed as a plug-in.
Not just for your course, every user would need Flash Player that for view several websites (say YouTube )and failing that they wont be able to see Flash enabled content.
I would suggest that do not worry about the Flash plugin as almost all users would have it already.
With Captivate 6, you also have an option of using HTML 5 as published output not just flash!
Thanks,
Anjaneai

thanks

hi, who can i have this information. In apache access log, i notice 2 redirection when i click to launch a content.
192.168.1.102 - - [28/Jun/2007:10:12:09 +0000] "GET /ilearn/en/learner/jsp/attempt.jsp?action=start&rco_id=-1&classroom_id=226 HTTP/1.1" 302 582

So i dont think this error came from the content. I repeat that i have this error also with defaut content installed with ilearning.
Can some one explain me what going wrong?

Cannot connect to API with scorm content

Hoping you can help. I believe I know what the issue is, but unable to resolve it.
I have a scorm 1.2 compatible object, works fine with other LMS's like moodle etc. It is for use on the oracle OLM but I have been using oracle ilearning to test, which technically looks identical.
My content is hosted on http://mypc/scorm/ and I have setup a CMI adapter that is set as http://mypc/scorm/Oracle_CMI_Adapter.html
Basically have the adapter at same root location as content (I have tried as separate folders with same result).
Has the oracle specific xsd files too.
When launching the content, it cannot find the API.
Out of interest, I ran a debugging program that checks on all data / connections passed from browser to the server and a file called 'crossdomain.xml' is apparently missing. I've looked in to this and afaik this shouldn't be needed as the CMI adapters should take care of this right?
Tracking is set to scorm 1.2 (CMI isn't an option but I assume this is the same)
Any ideas?

Hi scott
Thanks for getting back to me.
Still get exact same error whether loading in the ilearning frameset or a popup. I've tried updating my version of Java to the latest and made no diff either.
I've contacted someone at ESR development who will take one of our modules and give it a test. Hopefully it will be something simple they'll spot straightaway!
cheers

Scorm Content Not Created in Presenter

I have some existing content that i would like to run in
Breeze. When i try to upload the zipped SCORM package, it wont
recognise the zip, despite zip being an accepted file format. The
only thing i can see in the guidance that might be an issue is that
the package files are different and Breeze/Connect requires an
index.html doc, but this is not how the content is packaged in the
content i have.
Has anyone got experience of using content not created using
Presenter? Will it work?

Breeze / Connect Training does not support a SCORM package.

SCORM content on Oracle Learning Management

Hi,
Currently we are trying to setup a basic SCORM tracked course on Oracle Learning Management. We are using the example single course from
http://www.adlnet.gov/Technologies/scorm/SCORMSDocuments/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fTechnologies%2fscorm%2fSCORMSDocuments%2fPrevious%20Versions%2fSCORM%201.2&FolderCTID=0x0120007F801FCD5325044C89D91240519482D7&View={4D6DFFDE-3CFC-4DD9-A21A-4B687728824A}
The course has imported correctly into the LMS but we are having trouble with the course actually working.
If the SCORM adapter in the LMS is not set, then the course will run but with javascript alert messages "Unable to find API adapter".
If the SCORM adapter is set, then the course will not load but will come up with a 400 Bad Request error.
So I think the content is essentially fine because the course will load, but why would setting the SCORM Adapter return a 400 Bad Request error?
Accessing the SCORM Adapter directly returns the appropriate "No content to display" message so that is fine.
Any hints or ideas?

I have continued testing, and have found that the following is being passed
http://company.com.au:9999/content/scorm_adapter_files/oracle_scorm_adapter.html
     ?LMS_URL=http%3A%2F%2Fcompany.com.au%3A7786%2FOA_HTML%2FOA.jsp

Grading SCORM content on SharePoint with SLK (SharePoint Learning Kit)

Hi everyone,
My name is Kevin and I am currently working in a company to develop E-Learning materials to help train new hires. I am using Articulate Storyline to make quiz content and uploading the content to SharePoint with the SharePoint Learning Kit SLK. Here is some
information that you can follow and hopefully help me with configuring SLK to grade my Articulate quizzes.
First, I want to outline the progress I have currently made so that anybody can see if the problems I have are due to things I already did:
Used Articulate Storyline to make Presentations with Quiz questions in them that are graded and reviewed at the end of the Presentation
Published the Storylines to LMS in SCORM 2004 format and saved to my computer
Took each published Storyline and made .zip files
Uploaded .zip files to SharePoint 2010 with SLK (SharePoint Learning Kit). Can assign Learners with .zip files as long as they download them, extract them, and find the ‘story.swf’ flash file that runs the Presentation so they can go through the Storylines,
answer quiz questions, and receive a quiz grade at the end of them
The issue is that after downloading each .zip file, running the Presentation, and finishing the Quiz questions at the end of them, the information cannot be stored or saved and re-submitted to SLK which should then automatically read the Quiz progress and
log in a grade as well as log in completion of the assignment due to passing grades.
The questions at hand are:
How to save or store graded information from the Presentations so that they can be submitted to SLK?
How to make sure SLK takes in the graded information submitted from the Presentations automatically, store it, and reveal them?
How to make sure SLK determines assignment completion and passing assignments grade-wise?
I watched videos of how SLK grades the quiz content and I think that will work, but I think my main issue is saving that quiz content and getting to submit to SLK for grading.
Thank you for reading about my issue and any help would be greatly appreciated. If I think of other questions, I’ll let you know and if you have questions for me, feel free to ask.
Sincerely,
Kevin Bansleben

Oracle iLearning - SCORM content data

Hi,
we are using CourseLab for creating courses and tests and export them into SCORM 2004. What data is passed and saved to the Oracle iLearning database from the SCORM 2004 content? Are the questions and answers of the test being saved? What are the tables to look for? Does the description of Oracle ilearning DB tables exist somewhere?
Thank You,
Vaida

That's not quite true Anders :)
Assuming the content is using cmi interactions, the user's responses to questions in a scorm 2004 quiz are stored on the interaction table/view.
Here's an example custom report sql you can use to view interaction data for a given content object (the content object id is the parameter)
select
a.id attemptid,
a.create_date attempt_date,
u.username,
rco.title,
int.identifier,
int.description question,
decode(int.type,
'T','True/False',
'C','Multiple Choice',
'F', 'Fill in the Blank',
'S','Put in sequence order',
'M', 'Matching',
'L', 'Likert Scale'
) question_type,
int.learner_response learner_answer,
case
when int.result = 'N' then 'No correct answer, survey question'
else
int_resp.pattern
end
correct_answer,
decode(int.result,
'C', 'Correct',
'I','Incorrect',
'N','Not Evaluated') is_correct,
ROUND(int.latency,0) time_spent_on_question_secs
from
users u,
attempt a,
content_object rco,
interaction int,
interaction_response int_resp
where
a.user_id = u.id and
a.content_object_id = rco.id and
int.attempt_id = a.id and
int_resp.interaction_id = int.id and
rco.id = &rcoid
order by int.create_date

OLM SCORM Content Queries

Hi,
I have a SCORM authored course built using Captivate, this course also has an embedded test. Kindly answer the following queries (I do not know how to create scorm compliant content, I am just coordinating with the client's content provider):
1- Can we make the course status to be incompleted/fail if the learner fails the test, at the moment when the learner completes the course and the embedded test (whether pass or fails) OLM updates the course status to be completed ?
2- Does the OLM keep scores of the SCORM authored test, if yes, where does it stores such test results/scores?
3- Can we specify the number of attempts and Can we store test scores for each learner's attempt?
Thanks & Regards
Bilal Khan

Hi Bilal,
1. Assuming the content is passing a score to the LMS, if you set a mastery score in OLM for the learning object metadata, it will change the status to Pass/Fail depending on the learner's score vs the mastery score
2. OLM stores the scores on each attempt on the OTA_ATTEMPTS table. Individual questions/responses of a learner's interaction with a test are not stored
3. Specify number of attempts - This can only be done with assessments built within the OLM assessment tool. There are ways to accomplish something similar within the content itself by storing cmi.suspend data that could then be used by the content to determine how many attempts the user has had and locks them out, but would need to be specilalized/configured within the content itself. Test scores for each attempt, see #2
