Older SCORM files convert to HTML?
Hello to all you talented IDs in here,
I need your wisdom!
We have some older SCROM Exports, currently lying in an LMS. When I open the .story, my updated version of the program will alter the course in some kind of way (texts, boxes, scrollbars, pictures move etc.). I think, most here know the phenomenon.
We want to transfer the existing Projects into another Homepage and need them as HTML5 Exports. There are A LOT of them. So, open and upload them as HTML would take me a long time (because I have to search manually what have been altert and correct it).
So before I tackle that kind of sisyphus-task, I would like to know:
Is there a possibility to convert the existing SCORM exports to HTML5?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you are attempting to republish the older SCORM packages so the story.html file is output as HTML5. I do not believe you can do so.
The SCORM package output can be understood as a snapshot of the course. Changing anything about that package (such as republishing it to a newer version of HTML) means that you have to take a new snapshot, which involves getting out the camera (Storyline) and reassembling the items you want to photograph (opening the course itself).
And if all you have is the snapshot, you can't recreate the photograph at all.
JHauglie : Great analogy!
(Though if you have the "snapshot," aka the SCORM package or the files published for the web, you can cull some of the items needed for creating a new snapshot with a new file.)
