How to import a SCORM file into Articulate Storyline?
Hi - I´m new to Articulate and trying to find out how to import content on SCORM format into Articulate storyline. I've received some learning material on that format and I've heard that I should be...
I don't know if anyone's still following this thread, but I wonder if someone can help? I'm a newbie and can't understand why you wouldn't be able to import a SCORM zipped folder back into Storyline or Review 360. How else would you be able to edit existing courses that have already been published to your LMS? Am I missing something?
Hello Buildbase Training!
The published output folder doesn't include the source file, so there isn't a way to edit a Storyline course without the .story file. The .story file should always be saved on your local drive, typically the C: Drive, and isn't changed when publishing a project. I'd recommend looking for the .story file and opening it in Storyline 360 to make edits.
My guess is that there is lost metadata that a published SCORM file does not contain. Much like a layered photoshop file can be easily manipulated, but once flattened into something like a .PNG, it loses the layers. My best guess is that reverse engineering a project from a SCORM file requires a great deal of inference by the import system which inevitably fails to capture the construction of the source product.
I am following this thread and am frustrated that I cannot somehow convert a Storyline scorm zipped file back into a .story file. We have instructional designers who have left the company and have taken their .story files with them. Dear Storyline developers, I wish for you to have a machine to help us with this apparent need from your subscribers. Please and thank you!
Over the past six years, you think there'd be a way to import a SCORM...
This will never happen. Scorm is the final output.
Always save your .story file. That is your source. If you have to work on someone else's project or fix anything in it. Make sure you get the sources/storyline files. If not, tell your client you have to redo the complete project.
