2. Features Simple UI Start or continue attempts. Preview or Normal mode.
Package structure.

3. Features
Simple UI
Attempt and synchronization information.

4. Features Offline mode:
All interactions and data that are tracked by the SCORM package are saved in the device.
When a user is online again, the offline data is synchronised back to the Moodle site.

5. Features Offline mode:
Data is merged with the same incomplete attempt on the site or saved as a new attempt.
Data is merged only when we are sure that it didn’t create inconsistencies in the existing attempt.

6. Features Offline mode:
There can be inconsistencies if a user continues an attempt in Moodle and in Mobile (offline) at the same time.
If we detect any inconsistency, a new attempt is created (if possible)

7. Requirements
Requires Moodle 3.0 and onwards and Moodle Mobile 2.8 and onwards.
The Moodle Mobile SCORM player may be used on sites running Moodle 2.6 to Moodle 2.9 if the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin is installed.

8. Requirements
If the playing of SCORM packages in the app is not desired, the setting 'Protect package downloads' can be enabled at site level.
Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > SCORM
If the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin is being used, the setting can be found in:
Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins >
Moodle Mobile additional features.

9. SCORM packages
The package should work well if it was designed to work in small screens.
Old SCORM packages designed with old authoring tools may not work as expected.
For old packages, we tried to fix some features at run-time (like links using the target property)

10. Tips for friendly SCORMs
Try to reduce the image size and use mobile-compatible formats e.g. png
Try to reduce the video size and use mobile-compatible formats e.g. mp4
Please verify that the media can be played using the device browser.

11. Tips for friendly SCORMs
In general, try to keep the SCORM package small in size. The full package will be downloaded in the user’s device to make it available offline.
Beware of memory usage, it can crash the app.

12. Tips for friendly SCORMs
Avoid using Flash or the FLV format.
Avoid using images, files or media on remote sites because they won’t be available offline.
Try to avoid horizontal scrolling.

13. Tips for friendly SCORMs
Avoid using pop-ups.
Avoid using nested iframes, framesets.
Links with target _top and _blank will be opened in a new “window” inside the app (embedded browser).

14. Tips for friendly SCORMs
Avoid using advanced HTML5 features and advanced JavaScript functions, as they may not be supported by old devices such as iPhone 4 or Android < 4.4
Avoid having a fixed left navigation menu as part of the SCORM package, as this reduces the space available for the package content.
