EdX LMS

Thanks for linking the threads Sam. I haven't seen anything related to this and hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist.

As far as I know, EdX is not SCORM compliant and so it will be difficult to upload Storyline content. EdX was designed as a delivery platform for higher ed MOOCs, not so much a traditional LMS.

Hi All,

Just wondering if this issue is more about grades and tracking?

If the storyline file is published for the web, could it be embedded and be retain interactivity ('clickable') ?

Thanks!

Hi Vanessa!

I'm not familiar with EdX, and this thread is a bit dated. You can reach out to any of the users via the 'Contact Me' option on their user profile if you wish. We also have a conversation here that you may find benefit from and/or users to connect with.

Hello,

I know this is an older thread but thought I'd ask incase things had changed with time. Our program is looking at potentially switching or also using EdX (currently we use D2L and I have been successful in uploading SL2 projects into this LMS), any idea if Storyline 2 or 3 (we have SL2) would be compatible with EdX at this point?

Thank you,

Corinne

Hi Alejandro,

Okay good to know, thank you for passing along your knowledge of this, and for the quick response! This will be helpful in my research! :)

Appsembler has created a SCORM XBlock that works with Open edX. Take a look at this article to learn more. Getting SCORM content into Open edX with the SCORM XBlock

I'm Nate from Appsembler and happy to answer any questions about uploading Articulate Storyline content into Open edX using our SCORM XBlock.

While edX, Inc. may have no plans to add SCORM support to Open edX, thanks to the XBlock plugin architecture, we can extend the core functionality with our SCORM XBlock and offer this to our customers and the wider community.

Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more.

Karen,

The way it would work is that your client would need to integrate the SCORM XBlock into their current edX installation. The SCORMXBlock would then allow your client to play SCORM courses within edX. Here is an article about the software https://www.appsembler.com/blog/getting-scorm-content-into-open-edx-with-the-scorm-xblock/

The SCORM XBlock uses the JCA Solutions Simple SCORM LMS Adapter to load and play courses. You can find out more information about that tool at https://www.jcasolutions.com/ssla

I'm not an expert but have been doing a lot of research into future-proof content-platform integration.  I'm seeing more and more providers dropping support for SCORM because it no longer seems to be under development.  To the best of my knowledge the last edition was released almost 10 years ago.  Moodle stopped supporting SCORM upgrades at 1.2 (2001). Microsoft just dropped SCORM publishing from Office Mix in favour of LTI and I think Open EdX consumes LTI natively but can only take on SCORM through the likes of XBlock.  As an outside observer, I think the content designers are behind the curve and need to really start rethinking their product architecture.  The trend is moving away from LMS as a CMS where you "stick a wrapped package inside the LMS" to an aggregation of distributed content, where we can host and / or consume objects anywhere, with the hub being for student authentication and flow (what LTI seems to be positioned for) records, and big data analytics (xAPI I think). 

We use Articulate but I've started looking at more native HTML5 and CSS design until these tools catch up.  I'm not even sure the LMS providers have figured out the potential of the new standards yet.  There may be a few Kodak moments in store for some of the EdTech providers in the next few years.
