SCORM package requirements

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a standard format to create e-learning content which can be viewed by using an SCORM player.

To create e-learning content in SCORM format, you need an authoring tool like Articulate Storyline.

The result of this authoring process will be a ZIP file (referred to as SCORM package) which you can upload to the epowerhr esuite software.

 

SCORM package requirements

Common requirements for all SCORM packages:

  • No Adobe Flash content should be included.
  • The version should be one of the following: 1.2, 2004 2nd Edition, 2004 3rd Edition.
  • There should not be separate slides for presenting the result as passed or failed based on the score. The reason is that eSuite uses its own minimum passing scores per competence, and these might not be the same as the passing scores defined in the manifest files of the SCORM packages. Alternatively, the customer should establish the passing score together with the SCORM package author to avoid such issues.
  • The maximum size is 1GB

Requirements for packages with version 1.2

  • If the SCO(SCORM package) intends to mark the course as complete only after viewing all the content, it should change "cmi.core.lesson_status" from "not attempted" to "incomplete" when first opening the course and at the end it should set it to "completed", "passed" or "failed". If the course marked the lesson as incomplete but does not assign another status at the end, the course will never be marked as complete.
  • If the SCO intends to mark the course as complete when the user exits the course without necessarily viewing all the content, it may leave the "cmi.core.lesson_status" value as it was initialized ("not attempted") and exiting the course will set "cmi.core.lesson_status" to "completed".
  • The manifest should not include a mastery score (adlcp:masteryscore) since eSuite does not read this value and cannot handle setting the "cmi.core.lesson_status" based on comparing the raw score with the mastery score.

Requirements for packages with version 2004

  • The new sequencing and navigation introduced in SCORM 2004 should not be used.- "cmi.completion_status" should be set be the SCO to "incomplete" when first opening the course.- "cmi.completion_status" should be set be the SCO to "completed" at the end of the course. Unlike for SCORM 1.2, LMSFinish is not required to change it to "completed" in case it was not set after initialization.
  • The manifest should not include a scaled passing score. The value of the attribute "imsss:satisfiedByMeasure" should be "false" because eSuite does not implement the initialization of the "cmi.scaled_passing_score" and cannot handle setting the "cmi.success_status" based on comparing the scaled score with the scaled passing score.
