Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
The company I work for want to implement use fo video either directly using CSOD video functionality or video inside a SACORM package created by Storyline 2. We've never used it before because of bandwidth issues but have got IT to agree to some actual testing and wa wondering if anyone could help explain a slightly odd result.
The same video file (mp4 & SCORM - the SCORM file is smaller) were loaded into CSOD and run to see the pull on broadband. The odd thing is that the SCORM file seemed to pull a lot more broadband than the mp4 file (7MB/sec compared to 3.5MB/sec).
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening as I assumed that the SCORM package would create less drain than an actual video?
I'd guess the difference in bandwidth during playback is because when you upload a video to CSOD it is being ingested into several different file sizes. When it plays back (streams) it is probably playing back a version of the file that is more compressed than what was uploaded, because it is trying to find the file size that will work best with the bandwidth that is available. This is an advantage of using a media service such as Brightcove, Akamai, or even YouTube.
Thanks Will, I'm also getting our LMS administrator to ask CSOD the same question so will see what they come back with.
Here is a better description of what I'm thinking explains the results... https://www.akamai.com/us/en/solutions/products/media-delivery/adaptive-media-delivery.jsp
