Where does the SCO go?

Mar 25, 2024

Good morning, Campers

A client has provided us with an HTML5 course that they want to SCORMify. They don't have the source files but these were done in Articulate/Storyline.

We have been able to create a nice manifest file but we're not able to get tracking either in SCORM Cloud or our LMS. These are just completions based on page views. Does anyone know where that lives in a manifest or js file? And how we can insert it? Thanks very much

hi de hi Brendan,

You will be missing a few important files from the published course I think. There are JavaScript files that facilitate the communication between the module and LMS (SCORM API). Without these, and probably without certain setting in the published module, the module will always track using cookies rather than attempting to connect to the SCORM API.

Your best bet is to open a new Storyline author file, give it the correct course title, and then publish to SCORM. This will give you the extra files you need for your course to run as SCORM.

index_lms.html
imsmanifest.xml (and associated XSD files)
lms (folder)
- AICCComm.html
- blank.html
- browsersniff.js
- goodbye.html
- scormdriver.js

Once you've added the new files, you should be able to ZIP and import to an LMS.

Let me know how you go as it may depend on how old the published Storyline files are that you have. Provided they are fairly recent, and about 80% certain this will work.

Cheers,
Sam
