Preview SCORM 2004 output

I've gone through this exercise a bunch of times and it just occurred to me that this could be a nice feature. If I create a course that has some quiz questions in it and an "acknowledgements" page, I go through this process where I first publish from Storyline to SCORM 2004. Then upload the SCORM package to the LMS. Then complete the course as a test user. Then finally view what responses got submitted to the LMS by running a report. And then if it didn't capture responses the way I expected, I go through the whole process again, which realistically takes about 10-20 minutes in addition to the duration of the course itself.

It would be a nice time-saver and something to test against, if Storyline provided a preview of the results the SCORM 2004 package is sending over. Maybe this could be a component of running a Preview of the course, so user input is captured and then a separate window displays what the SCORM package will be sending to the LMS.

    Hello DeanIchikawa-1a,

    Thanks so much for sharing this idea. I hear you, testing SCORM behavior can be time-consuming, especially when you need to publish, upload to the LMS, complete the course, and then run reports just to check whether the data looks right.

    A built-in way to preview what SCORM 2004 is sending would definitely make that workflow smoother. It would give you a quicker way to confirm whether the quiz data and status information match your expectations before doing a full publish and upload. I’ve shared your suggestion with our product team so they can look into it.

    If you have any specific data points you would want to preview, feel free to add them here. It helps us understand what would be most useful.
