Single SCO? It wasn't published using Articulate, but the largest SCO I've personally packaged on was 13 hours of seat time. I don't remember how many slides, since quite a bit of it was video and simulation activity based (for a couple of heavy weapons - grenade launchers and such). It was modular and internally sequenced, but it was a single SCO. I've worked on larger courses (60+ hours of seat time in resident training complements) but not in a single SCO.
The largest one to date was 100 ish slides and about 1.5 hours long from start to finish. It took about 1.5 months to create.I since then have decided I don't want it to be so long, so I am planning on reworking it into at LEAST 2 module (it is already a part II of a series of two, so I will be making a 4 or 5 part series insteead). The first part was about 80 slides and 1 hour long.
I am still interested in hearing some stories about this?
What is the largest PowerPoint file you have converted using Articulate? I have a few whoppers I am working on at the moment and am getting a bit sketchy about publishing them.
I'm not familiar with that acronym. What does "SCO" stand for?
I had one that was meant to have a 3 hour run time, but I broke it out into 7 courses to create a series instead. I did run into some publishing challenges on the larger ones, but I had a lot of animation-heavy layering going on. I've since learned more about some of the quirks and unsupported ppt elements to avoid some of those mistakes in the future. I managed to get them all published. It just took some tweaking and animation compromises here and there.
170 slides was the largest, took 40 minutes to publish and would only publish once, then would need a restart. I find Studio is much happier with 50-70 slides over that and the problems start to hit, odd crashes, things stop working, you spend more time rebooting than working

This is our approach. We use a lot of video so the packages can get quite large very quickly. We chop things up into short modules. Most of our learners are out in the field and on the move, so for them to sit down and take a couple hours of elearning at a shot just isn't effective (much less the challenges that come with trying keep someone engaged for that length of time). We try to keep single modules under 10minutes and then combine those to make topic based curricula.

I don't know how many slides, but when I was with Homeland Security we routinely uploaded SCORM files that exceeded 100 Meg.
Our average ran about 40 meg.
Hello,
I am still interested in hearing some stories about this?
What is the largest PowerPoint file you have converted using Articulate? I have a few whoppers I am working on at the moment and am getting a bit sketchy about publishing them.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Dave
