SCORM Compliant PDF - Track read, review acknowledgement

Thanks for sharing this with everyone Timothy

Leslie, No problem.  I love this community.  Glad to contribute!

Thanks Timothy! We're happy to have you here and glad you're sharing your expertise!

Timothy,

I'm up against a similar issue and would like to replicate your process. Could you please further explain step 2 or do a quick ScreenR for us or give us a few screenshots of your process? Would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Ellen,

I'm not certain that Timothy is still subscribed to this thread, so you may want to send him a private message to see if he's able to share more with you about what he set up in step 2, as I'm not understanding the "hidden" webpage element.

and as a result subscribe to thread.

Ellen and Bruce,

I will try to clarify the process for you and Bruce Amreim once I have a moment to do so.  With a bit of luck it may be today at some point.

1.       Createtrue/false question slide.  True value 100 pt.   False value0.  Label True Acknowledge and Label False Don’t acknowledge (or couldjust drag off slide and it would not be option)

2.       Publishas SCORM, but don’t zip. Give filename1

3.       Createa new html folder in the publish folders in step 2.

4.       Createan index.html webpage that has a link or links to the PDFs that needAcknowledge and reported to SCORM.  Be sure to place your PDFs in thisfolder as well.  Create links in the index.html document to point to thePDFs

5.       Goback to the original story file and insert web object on True/False slide,browse to the newly created folder with index.html (webpage with pdf(s))

6.       Savethe story file.

7.       Publishas SCORM (IMPORTANT, be sure to publish as same filename as in step 2 exceptadd a “2” to the filename. i.e. filename2

8.       Goto filename1 and copy the html folder that you created (and which contains thePDFs that the index.html links to)

9.       Pastethe html folder from step 3 (and it’s contents index.html and PDF(s) into thepublished folders of filename2.

10.   Zipthe filename2 files

11.   Uploadto your LMS

Result:  Trainees will access the LMS, open theSCORM project, see the webpage that links locally to the index.html file thatis contained with the zipped files, open the PDF or PDFs, view, print, etc.with browser, then click the True/Acknowledge button, then Submit.  TheTrue will indicate 100%, thus the user Acknowledgement of PDF is tracked inSCORM.

    Another option is to post the PDF within your LMS andlink to it via a web object as well.  Or have the PDF on an website andlink to it via web object.  However, with this method users can get to thedocuments also without running the module.  That is why I came up with theabove.  It is a bit cumbersome, but does work well.

Image showing web object created on T/F slide.  Note you must publish the story file without zipping first, then add the web object and navigate to the newly created folder with index.html and PDFs, then save the story file and publish with filename 2 and copy and paste the created files from filename1 into filename 2, then zip, then upload to lms as SCORM.

Sorry if my instruction aren't the best, it has been a long week and I'm ready for the weekend so I rushed this response a bit.    If you get stuck contact me.  tkuhn1@hmc.psu.edu or via this forum.

hope this helps, Tim
