thanks for the tip on how to use scorm cloud
here is my question... I want to work with articulate but my Sakai virtual campus host (longsight) does not support the Sakai SCORM Player plug in. They recommend using scormcloud but our school would have to pay $1000 per month to use the added SCORMCLOUD service... if this is true, why did I buy into articulate to develop for sakai? moodle and other LMS allow for the direct uploading of articulate storyline with no added support for SCORM Viewer to work... and this is what articulate has been representing. so which is it, will articulate do the job or is Sakai's SCORM Player to unstable which mean having to use SCORMCLOUD to make it function. ???

It sounds like you are saying that your LMS vendor does not support the SCORM protocol and is recommending that you use SCORM Cloud instead. Please let me know if I have misunderstood.
Studio and Storyline publish content that is compliant with the AICC, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and Tin Can API protocols. If your LMS does not support at least one of these protocols, it's possible that you won't be able to track your content within your LMS.
Please feel free to send us more details via a Support Case (http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php) if you'd like, and have a great day! - David-Fair10 years agoStaffHi Ron,
I can understand your frustration. Sakai doesn't support standard learning management specs like SCORM, so it can't track SCORM-compliant content.
It sounds like you can add custom SCORM players to Sakai to overcome this limitation. I'd recommend asking your Sakai administrator to investigate a SCORM add-in.
Without an add-in for Sakai, you'd need an LMS that supports AICC, SCORM, or Tin Can API content.- ReinierPost8 years agoCommunity MemberJustin is saying that the recommended SCORM add-in for Sakai relies on SCORM Cloud, and the SCORM Cloud service charges more than they're willing to pay. There are two alternative SCORM options for Sakai; one of them is a SCORM player that doesn't rely on third parties; it sort of works (we have it running in Sakai 11), but it leaves a lot to be desired.
