How to import a SCORM file into Articulate Storyline?
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?
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.
