Canvas no longer supports SCORM output. What is a Storyline output that will work? XAPI?
We have been informed that Canvas (Instructure) LMS will no longer support SCORM. Canvas will allow uploads of SCORM packages but will not support it if issues arise. This is a potential huge issu...
Instructure's support on Scorm was always minimal. Whenever a user with issues in Scorm contacted Instructure ( Canvas ) the response was to contact the developers of the tool the Scorm was created. So in fact little changes now, only that they even admit they wont support Scorm users. As far as xApi concerns. Canvas has little or no support for xApi in its default elements and interactions. You can add a Storyline or Lectora developed component with xApi that sends the data to a LRS, but all of that acts outside of Canvas.
At our University Instructure Canvas is the main LMS also. We use the Canvas gradebook for quizzes and assesments build on Canvas. When using Scorm ( Storyline and Lectora ) we send data to the gradebook. That works fine. If we need more specific data we use external databases to write that to.
I have a question based on your response. My institution uses Canvas LMS and we used Storyline to create a presentation and configured our LRS data for publishing and Canvas of course sent the data we were looking for. Our problem is we typically build in Rise which does not have that LRS configuration capability and to my understanding Canvas does not have a native xAPI support so do you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Maybe an LTI?
