SCORM naming conventions

Having produced a series of scorm-based (1.2) activities, have found we're unable to add them to client's LMS. Am thinking this is the naming convention used. For example:

Starters unit 10 Happy ending – Activity 4.zip

Which brings me to 2 questions:

1. Could the length and use of spaces/special characters be the cause? 

2. If yes to 1. (just awaiting confirmation from the LMS support - but am pretty sure that's it), is there a quicker (and sound) way to change the name of the scorm folders without republishing in Storyline 360? There's quite a few...

 

 

  • the name of the scorm package (zip) is nothing special - you can change the filename anytime without republish

    the Scorm data (eg. course title) are in the included file "metadata.xml"

  • have found we're unable to add them to client's LMS

    what error message is displayed when import is not working?

    Saba (Cornerstone OnDemand) automatically replaces the spaces in a file title with underscores at the time the SCORM file is imported. Your client's LMS may have a similar (undocumented, of course) restriction on file naming. What LMS are they using?
