scoID error on Moodle

Hi Zio!

I've never personally seen this error and I've only found one post here on the forums that mentions it:

Error message when viewing Storyline project on iPad

Check out the details that Justin shared and let us know if you still have trouble with this.

Thanks!

There were a few bugs with older Moodle releases that could cause this state - make sure you're running a recent supported stable release like 2.4.10, 2.5.6, 2.6.3, 2.7 

Even for stable v-2.7.5 it is showing the same error from a desktop for my learner somewhere far from me :)

Hi, Yemane -- Sorry to hear that you are running into this issue as well, but unfortunately, I am not able to provide support here. As this thread is a bit older and the participants may no longer be subscribed, please feel free to reach out to individual directly using the 'Contact Me' link on their profile pages if you wish. 

Thank you for your concern!
This is not a big headache for me at the moment since a single user is complaining about it, so it could be connection reliability or browser problem among the others. I will handle it with your advice. I have asked this community about some of my SCORMs developed from third party are not recording and tracking the status of a learner. Please save me with this if you can, I appreciate for your concern.

Kind regards,

Hi guys,
I had this "A required parameter (scoid) was missing" issue come up today with some of our students. Normally if it were a single student, I'd advise them they were in an old session but this was occurring to multiple students.

Currently, I'm using Moodle 2.9 and SCORM 1.2 content is built in Articulate Storyline 2 (Update 9). All my SCORM packages are set to open in Moodle using the new window option. The weird thing was the package worked fine when using the embed option but not for a new window. All other SCORM packages are set this way, but only this one was playing up.

In my case, the broken SCORM used the full heading “Topic 3: Use training packages to meet client needs". I saw the URL had "&#xA" right in the middle of the heading. I copy/pasted the content into another Storyline file, called it untitled1, uploaded it to Moodle and it worked. I then made a new SCORM file and reduced the title to “Topic 3:Use training packages” so the URL didn’t include the symbols and it worked as well. Screenshots in the attached PDF.

My guess is the heading was copied from a word doc during Storyline development and some of the formatting got copied over. Maybe try simplifying the heading in Storyline and see if that works.

Cheers, Alex

Hi Alex,

Good find and thanks for sharing it here. The special characters or symbols in a file name are known to cause issues, as detailed here for files in general.

Thanks Alex, you saved the day for me today. I had the same issue, never would have thought the title was too long. 

Hi Katrina and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :) Glad that this thread was able to assist you as well and thanks for popping in.

Thank you Alex! You just saved the day for me too. Running Moodle 3.5 and just ran into this error for the first time in the last stages of a HUGE project. Republished half a dozen times with different settings (although I'm a veteran Moodle AND Storyline user so I didn't know what it could be). This just fixed the issue completely. Whew.

So glad that this conversation was able to help you as well, Leah.

Thanks for chiming in to share.

thanks, it worked!!!!!

I'm glad that this conversation was able to help you as well, Nadia.

I appreciate you chiming in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
