embedding SCORM packages
Hello
I desperately need some help with this. My company has paid for an external company to provide us with a around 100 SCORM packages that we want to embed within Rise courses. The thing is, they will only give us the exported zip package. From doing some research, you can only embed storyline into Rise via a link to review, so:
a) is there anyway we can upload a zipped scorm package to review? or
b) is there a way to embed a zipped scorm package into rise? or
c)is there a way to embed a zipped scorm package into storyline? or
Does anyone have any other ideas of how I can get around this?
Hi there Emily!
It seems like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place here! Happy to try and help you find a solution.
You may be able to host those SCORM output files on a web server, then embed the content into a Rise 360 lesson.
After uploading the output file to the web server, grab the URL to the index.html file.
In Rise, add that URL to a multimedia embed block. In the iFrame code field, use the formula
<iframe src="URL"></iframe>.Just replace URL with the link for the content you want to embed.No guarantees this will work, but it's certainly worth a shot!
Hi Alyssa
Thanks for your help!
I'm trying your solution but we don't have a web server, we have SharePoint but it locked down so only people in the business can access the materials on it. Aslo when i'm looking in the export file i can only see a index_lms.html file which makes me think they've been exported specifically for an LMS not HTML.
I'm also trying to host them on scormcloud and importing them using this method but, i just get an lms error and a white screen :(
Hi Emily!
Hmm, that does complicate things. Hosting on SCORM Cloud could work, and I'd be happy to try it on my end!
Would you be willing to send me one of the export files by clicking here? I'll see if I can work some magic! I'll delete everything when I'm done testing it.
We are looking at doing the same thing and would love to know the answer too!
Hey Libby! Do you also need to embed SCORM output files in Rise 360?
Was the original content created in Storyline or another authoring tool? Do you have access to the original project files?
Yes, I may do Alyssa. I don't know yet how the original content was created - but I do know that i will not be able to access the original project files. Do you know of any off-the-shelf content providers that do allow easy integration to Rise?
Hello Alyssa, one of the content types I have just been shown is actually a Rise SCORM module. The vendor doesn't want to share editable access to the course via Rise due to IP - so they only supply it as a SCORM. Have you tested importing a Rise SCORM via embed?
Hi Libby!
The best way to embed any kind of media in Rise 360 is to use a URL.
If you can host those SCORM files on the web and grab a URL for them, then you can embed them in another Rise 360 course.
Do you have a place where you can host those SCORM files online to get a URL for them?
I don't think so. Our in-house storage (onedrive etc.) would require users to login which makes it difficult to use. Oh well!
This is where I got to, in principle its great that you can embed scorm files that are hosted on the web. But finding somewhere in this day and age where you can host files without having to sign in is near on impossible.
I'm currently working to host them on our LMS and linking them through that, as they will have to logged in in order to access the rise, but in all honesty by the time I've done that its easier to just have the file as a separate asset.
I agree Emily
