LMS Lesson SCORM Information option

HI. In the Articulate 360 LMS publishing options, under the Reporting tab, there is a box called LMS Course information and lower down a box called LMS Lesson SCORM Information. Both boxes contain a field called Identifier.  In the notes for this, it says: "The Identifier field is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline. Your LMS uses it to identify your content. If you are republishing a course that is already in your LMS, do not change the value in this field."

So my questions are:

1) Which Identifier field are the notes referring to? I assume only the one in the LMS Course information box?

2) In the LMS Lesson SCORM Information box, there is a title field and an identifier field. The title field is automatically populated from the Title I entered for the new file. However the identifier field is still showing as the title from the original file. So, should I make the title and Identifier in the this LMS Lesson SCORM Information box the same?

Thanks

  • Hi, I have come here as I've a similar query with the LMS Course information and LMS Lessons SCORM Information fields. I've read and reread the above posts, and am still no wiser on what if anything I need to do with these fields.

    I'm republishing an old SCORM a colleague developed. I notice it says "MTM" in title and identifier. Shouldn't I be updating these so that learners see the correct course title in the player AND so that i and other colleagues can track the correct version of the published SCORM?

    I'm hoping for an answer that can consolidate the key info into one response? I've found the above answers scattered across verious posts to be hard to understand.

      Hi Joel,

      The name that will appear in the Player is the one that you set in the Player Settings.

      The name that you set here will be carried over to the Title field under 'LMS Lesson SCORM Information'. Note that you can set any title under this section, but the course title that will be displayed in the published output is the title that is set under Player Features

      And if you're planning on uploading a newer version of an existing course in your LMS, make sure that the identifier field under LMS Course Information has the same value as the course that you will be updating. 

      For any additional questions or clarifications, feel free to open a case with our support team here and we'll be glad to assist!

  • Hi Brett! 

    Just wanted to pop in and let you know that it looks like part of your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

    Have a great afternoon and happy developing! ☀️

    Hi!
    I still don't understand what are the several Title and Identifier fields for and what are their effect.

    Can someone tell us what is each field for, how do they interact with LMS like CSOD?

    Thanks a lot!

    • Hello ST-S,

      Happy to help!

      You can look at the title and identifier fields as references your LMS uses to make the courses you upload distinguishable from others in your LMS. 

      • The title is the name that you give to your course. You can think of the course title as its display name which will be what people see when they access it.
      • The Course Identifier field is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360. Your LMS uses it to identify your content. This helps make your course unique within the LMS, making it easy for the LMS to reference your course when needed. One important thing to note is if you're republishing a course that's already in your LMS, don't change the value in this field.

      Typically, your course would still work if you uploaded it to your Cornerstone OnDemand LMS while keeping the course title and identifier's default values so you don't have to worry about how your LMS interacts with these values for the most part.
