What should I consider with SCORM?
Visibility Software will get you set up with a SCORM Cloud account and provide you with the information necessary to enable the feature. NOTE: At this point, Visibility Software supports AICC and SCORM 1.2 training packages.
SCORM Considerations
(1) The SCORM feature is available in Cyber Train (enterprise level). So if you are on the express or professional level of Cyber Train and desire this feature, contact the support team and to see what it will take to upgrade to the enterprise level. To check the level on which you are currently on go to Admin > System Setup > Install Code Tab. At the bottom it should indicate the current level.
(2) Visibility Software utilizes a third-party (SCORM Cloud) to store and run the SCORM and AICC training packages. This feature incurs a cost, $500 for 1 block of new launches (1 block = 1000 new launches). Blocks of 1,000 may be purchased as needed whenever they are needed and they are good for up to 1 year from date of purchase.
- For example, if there are 10 SCORM training packages and 200 employees who need to take all of them, 10 x 200 = 2000 new launches, it is recommended for at least 2 blocks (2000 new launches) to be purchased but possibly 3 blocks.
- What is a 'new' launch? A new launch is the first time the student clicks the training package link. If the student re-clicks the same link, this is not seen as a new launch. This allows the student to rewatch the training as often as needed without it counting against the new launch count. Should the course, the class or the student change, it will be seen as a new launch.
What makes up a SCORM package?
A SCORM training package MUST contain in the root of zip a file named ‘imsmanifest.xml’. This defines the SCORM course structure, resource location and many other things. Other files used to support the training package could include HTML files, XML files, and multimedia files. The JavaScript for SCORM API MUST be listed in this file too. The LMS parses the manifest and provides the files listed there to the content package during the runtime.
