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 issue as all the lessons and interactive content we created in Storyline may no longer be supported. Is Articulate aware of this and looking for alternatives as this would impact continuing usage of Storyline/Articulate 360. Is publishing to XAPI an option? Can it be supported by Canvas. This would also apply to RISE output/content.

Susan - this might help you, its an open issue with Canvas. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Known-Issues/OPEN-Newly-uploaded-SCORM-packages-don-t-show-in-the-course-tab/ta-p/611156
As someone else said, Canvas has never done much to support SCORM issues. We used Rise SCORM exports initially, but then there was a big issue last August with Canvas Modules not recognizing the completion of our SCORM assignments. Thousands of learners in our self-paced courses were getting "stuck" after a SCORM assignment because we had it set as a requirement to complete it before moving on. So then I tested all of the export options and found that xAPI was the only one that tracked correctly. We have been using it since then with no major problems. That said, we do not rely on Rise quizzes tracking correctly. We use the native Canvas quizzes instead.
