Course Name versus File Name
Hello, I hope it's okay that I add my own question to this thread, since it seems to be related:
I also experience the problem that the title of the published scorm (title_extra_info) is also the title that appears in the player, even though I put a different player title there before publishing (title_course).
For me it would be very helpful if these titles were not related anymore. Unless someone could help me with this issue:
I only discovered the issue after uploading the scorm to an extern learning platform (aNewSpring). Because the file title I used (title_extra_info) should not be visible for the users, I changed back the title in the player (to title_course), published the scorms with this title also as a file title and afterwards changed the title of the zipfile again (to title_extra_info). But, when I uploaded this tot the learning platform, the scorm got the title from the player again (title_course) as a file title. The player title seems to overwrite the zipfile title. But the learning platform reads this as a new file instead of a replacement for the old file. Apparently, in aNewSpring you can only replace a scormfile with exactly the same title. This makes it impossible for me to change the player title as long as it's connected with the publish/zipfile title.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
Thanks in advance, if I have to open a new subject, please let me know!

Hello Floortje,
The behavior you described sounds like an LMS-specific issue since other LMSs like SCORM Cloud take the course name from the Player title. I'd recommend testing the same behavior you're experiencing in SCORM Cloud to confirm.
If the behavior is specific to your LMS, please check if you have the option to upload new versions of your course to see if this helps.
