Storyline iPad publish - is it SCORM compliant?

Hey Ryan,

Welcome to the Forums!

• If a course runs on an iPad in HTML5 through Safari, it could communicate back to your LMS (depending your LMS - if you use Plateau/SuccessFactors you have to use AICC)
• If you run your course through the iPad App, it will not communicate back to your LMS.
• If you go with the app, depending on how your LMS is set up, you can create a learning item with two objects in it: the course and the exam.  The exam is not accessible unless the course was accessed. 
• There is a new version of SCORM being developed that some people on this forum know a heck of a lot more than me about.  It is called 'Project Tin Can' and it is supposed to work with a lot more mobile content/devices.

I hope this helps,

Eric Nalian

Hey Eric,

Could you expand a little more about plateau/successfactors and scorm/aicc?  Why wouldn't it work with scorm?

We're in the process of transitioning to plateau/successfactors (mid-august go live date), so I'm not totally sure of it's capabilities.  I have heard from other users that aicc was better, but nothing really specific to back that up.

We're planning on migrating our existing content as scorm 1.2 right now, but wonder if we should re-evaluate that?

/sorry for the threadjack

Hey Ryan,

On Plateau's mobile site, you can not use SCORM, only AICC works (do not know why, but the button to switch it on is grayed out...).  Also, I have had some issues when I published courses to SCORM (I tried them both 1.2 and 2004, and could not get either one to function properly).  There are a couple other folks on this site who also have problem with SCORM and SuccessFactors.

As you implement/troubleshoot the system, if you have any questions let me know.  We have done a lot of wonky stuff and figured out a lot about the little intricacies of the system.

Sorry if this is a bit late but I've been looking into this stuff myself recently; from what I know, Plateau uses a Java Applet to communicate/report info when using SCORM, something that Mobile safari doesn't (and probably never will) support

One possible "interim" option for some--have the Storyline content outside the LMS.  Then have a final quiz inside the LMS for those who need credit for the content.  Until things straighten out technology-wise, folks will have to access that with a regular browser.

Far from a perfect solution but until some folks' LMS adopt Tin Can, it's an option.

One thing that I am starting to do for my courses that are available on iPads is setting them up to send our admin an email when the course is completed.

I am setting it up so that an email will be sent only if the class is passed.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! The solution we ended up going with (at least for the moment) is the one you mentioned, Gerry. We treat the course and quiz as separate assets and link them together.

I'm interested to see how standards will change in the future though, both on the iOS side and with SCORM and AICC.

Hi

This post is 4 years old but wondering if you are managing to run Storyline content from the SuccessFactors iPad app. I cannot get it to launch but it launches and completed on the iPhone and Android mobiles.

Hi, Karen -- Thanks for reaching out! And as you mentioned, with this being a much older post, it's possible that some of the participants are no longer subscribed to the thread. So, if there is anyone you'd like to reach out to directly, you are welcome to do so via the 'Contact Me' link on their profile page. Or, you may also want to consider contacting SuccessFactor for their insights, as well.
