Hello there - I have a 30 page pdf that needs to be scorm wrapped. no interactions, no quizzes etc. What is the best way to go about this? Storyline, Rise? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What exactly are you tracking? The file being accessed? Many LMS' allow you to import non-SCORM content objects and add them to a learning plan; they track "completion" by displaying a message when the user closes the object (in this case, a PDF) similar to "Did you read the document?" [Yes] [No].

    I was just asked to make a pdf scorm wrapped. Is this possible? in storyline or rise?

  • Hi, Heather.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Similar to Joseph above, I'm not sure I fully understand what you were asked to do, so I'd recommend trying to get some clarification from the stakeholder. In the meantime, take a look at this discussion that might be helpful to what you're looking to accomplish:

    Thank you. It has been slightly confusing on my end as well. Basically, they just want a pdf scorm wrapped so they can upload to their LMS. They are tracking if the document is read. I am assuming that it would be much more simplistic for the pdf to be uploaded to the LMS directly since no interactions are being created on my end. Would I be correct in saying this?

    Thank you!

    You would be correct in saying this, as there isn't a way to automatically determine if a document has, in fact, been "read."

    Most LMS' can incorporate one or more document types (e.g., PDF, DOC, PPT) into a learning plan, and can track if the document has been opened, but the onus is typically placed on the learner to acknowledge he/she has "read" the document, which completes the process.
