Course File Size - How big is too Big
Folks,

Hi Vaughan:
I worked with one client who had a 1.3 GB story and it made SL crawl, but did publish OK.
I found that reducing the slide lengths (timeline) everywhere possible did make the course run much smoother understanding the LMS will preload everything it can in the course and making each file smaller allows for better performance. This is especially apparent with the Flash output since SL loads a SWF for the page, and other SWFs for most objects on the page.
I am in line with your Moodle grief when you have many SCORM packages uploaded to assemble a course. It could be presented to the learner is a much better way. I have used the Grid view one time (a Moodle template) and it helped, but still did not solve learners path through the courses.
Best Regards,
