SCORM 2004 3rd Edition

I searched the community and did not see this issue.  When publishing in SCORM 3rd Edition (my first time) and posting in Cornerstone, a menu panel appears on the left side of the course.  We published in this manner in order to retrieve survey responses for our parent company.  See first screenshot.  

In the past, published in SCORM 1.2 and the player has a much cleaner look without the menu.  See second screenshot.

Is there a setting I need to turn off to get rid of the menu panel?

Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Hi ColleenWessel-e you will have to experiment with adding some extra information to the SCORM 2004 manifest file. I wrote these instructions for another LMS, but they should apply to CoD too.

    The following customisations need to be made to the imsmanifest.xml file POST PUBLISH. The customisation hide LMS user interface elements that the client does not want present.

    1) Copy and past the below XML into the published modules imsmanifest.xml file

            <!-- copy start below this line -->
            <adlnav:presentation> 
                  <adlnav:navigationInterface> 
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandon</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>exit</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandonAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                       <adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
                  </adlnav:navigationInterface> 
            </adlnav:presentation>
            <!-- copy end above this line -->

    2) Paste the above XML into the imsmanifest.xml file prior to the following XML node </item>. Your pasted XML will look something like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
    <manifest identifier="XYZ" version="1.3" xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1" xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3" xmlns:adlseq="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlseq_v1p3" xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3" xmlns:imsss="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsss" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:lom="http://ltsc.ieee.org/xsd/LOM" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1 imscp_v1p1.xsd

              </adlnav:navigationInterface> 
            </adlnav:presentation>
          </item>
            <!-- modifications end above this line -->
          … XML continues

    3) Save and close the imsmanifest.xml file, and then zip the package.

    We're running Cornerstone SBX (aka Saba), and when I import a content object, there are multiple players to select from, including with or without headers and footers, with or without side bars, in a new pop-up window or in-line, and more. I finally got so annoyed with those "out of the box" players that I started over from scratch and created a new, in-line, "clean" player, which I use almost always.
