SCORM / xAPI package documentation
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any documentation that describes the purpose of each of the files within a SCORM and xAPI package? For example story.html, tincan.xml, index.html
I'd like to learn more about these files but struggle to find any specific information.
Thanks
no - there is no documentation
you'll have to figure it out for yourself, but here are a few hints
step 1: for the storyline part - publish to web (result are all web files without the LMS files)
- story.html (the start file)
- analytics-frame.html (the articulate tracking file for "Help improve Articulate 360 ...")
- meta.xml (not used, but interesting)
- html5/lib/ ... (the javascript, css library of the player)
- html/data/css/output.min.css (all used fonts, ...)
- html/data/css/js/ (the infos for the slides, ...)
- mobile/ (images, ...) - IMPORTANT the name of the folder is wrong
- mobile/notes/ (not used anymore)
- mobile/slides/ (not used anymore)
- story_content (videos, ...)
- story_content/notes/ (not used anymore)
- story_content/slides/ (not used anymore)
- story_content/user.js (the javascript of all your javascript trigger)
- and some more
step 2: if you publish to LMS some files are added
- index_lms.html (the html start file for the LMS)
- folder "lms" with the storyline files for the communication with the LMS*
- many xml, xsd, dtd files and some folder depending on the scorm version (e.g. common/extend/unic/vocab)*
* but they are not very interesting (except lms/scormdriver.js)
Thanks Jurgen, that's really interesting!
I have some files publishing with an index.html file instead of an index_lms.html file. Are these the same file just with a different name?
