You have the ability to embed SCORM into the course window, or you can have it open in its own window.  Which do you prefer and why?  The new window option gives you the ability to size the window or accept the default size.  Embedded means less steps for the learner and less more likely that can seamlessly continue the course and/or end the course.  Thank you for your thoughts and considerations.

Personally, it depends on the purpose. I’ve made scorm files that are basically just an interactive single page. Those I would embed because it becomes more seamless with the whole course.. If they are a more singular piece of content/larger file I would have it open to another page.

@Alexis McLaughlin I was thinking it may have more to do with the size of the content produced in say Captivate.  So if they exported an 800 x 600 or 1080 x Whatever then it may be best to have it open automatically in a new window to avoid scroll bars.
