Hello!

I was hoping to connect with someone who has a fully integrated SCORM learning program with TI. Some things I am hoping to learn:

  1. What content authoring tool do you use and why? 
  2. Do you use standalone SCORM content or do you embed a SCORM page type within a native TI course?
  3. How is reporting? (more challenging?  - if so how/why?)
  4. If you already had a fully functioning learning program up and running in TI (all natively designed) would you make the transition to SCORM content? Or leave it alone?
  5. Anything else I should be aware of?

If it’s easier to hop on a quick call to discuss - I’d love to set that up if preferred! 

 

Thanks!

Kristin

We have just started adding some SCORM content created in Adobe Captivate to some of our courses. I’d love to hear from anyone else doing this on a larger scale too.

  1. What content authoring tool do you use and why?  WE USE WHAT OUR VENDORS ARE USING>  WE DON”T AUTHOR IN ANYTHING BUT NATIVE TI
  2. Do you use standalone SCORM content or do you embed a SCORM page type within a native TI course?  IT DEPENDS>SOMETIMES THE AUTHOR OF THE COURSE MADE THE WINDOW OF THE PLAYER TOO BIG TO FIT SO WE OPT ON EMBED BUT OPEN IN FULL SCREEN MODE AUTO>YOU HAVE TO TEST WITH EACH VENDOR OR ESTABLISH A STANDARD> IF I HAD A CHOICE IT WOULD BE EMBEDED ON THE PAGE
  3. How is reporting? (more challenging?  - if so how/why?)  NOT MORE CHALLENGING JUST LESS DATA> SCORM DOES NOT SEND OVER AS MUCH DATA AS NATIVE TI CONTENT AND IT DEPENDS ON WHAT VERSION OF SCORM YOU USE
  4. If you already had a fully functioning learning program up and running in TI (all natively designed) would you make the transition to SCORM content? Or leave it alone? I WOULD NEVER MOVE TO SCORM IF I HAVE A CHOICE BECAUSE IT’S TOO EASY FOR ME TO UPDATE CONTENT IN TI VS HAVING TO TRACK DOWN THE ONLY PERSON WITH A STORYLINE LICENECE, HAVE THEM UPDATE, AND UPLOAD A NEW VERSION>PLUS FROM A USERS POINT OF VIEW> MY ONLY OPTION IS TO RETAKE AN ENTIRE COURSE TO GET TO ONE PAGE CHANGE
  5. Anything else I should be aware of?  DON”T USE AICC FORMAT IN THE SCORM COURSE, IT MAY APPEAR TO WORK BUT DOES NOT.

I’ll add a little bit here too since I have been playing with this again this week..Captivate recommends using “responsive” projects and I have found them to be cumbersome in TI. They always resize down when embedded or you have to open them in full-screen separately, which isn’t a great experience to me. 

I think we’ll end up using embedded non-responsive content in courses as SCORM pages rather than setting up a standalone SCORM piece of content. 

So, we’ll have a mix of TI authored pages with activities and content from Captivate woven in. As mentioned in the other comment, updating SCORM is a little harder than updating text or a graphic in a TI page. So, for our product content that changes frequently, we will not use any authoring tools other than Camtasia for video.
