1. Tips and tricks for using SCORM Presented by Dan Marsden // MoodleMoot Australia 2015

2. What is SCORM

3. Creating SCORM Content Moodle does not generate SCORM content. Moodle presents the content in SCORM packages to learners, and saves data from learner interactions with the SCORM package. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Creating_SCORM_Content

4. Managing Package files Drag/Drop Uploaded package (local or repository) External package type (imsmanifest url) Downloaded package type (zip) Direct AICC url More info: http://danmarsden.com/blog/2012/11/01/managing-scorm-content-in-moodle-2 http://danmarsden.com/blog/2013/09/24/managing-scorm-content-in-moodle-2-6

5. SCORM Versions SCORM 1.2 AICC SCORM 2004 Experience API (Tin CAN)

6. SCORM 1.2 Data limits SCORM 1.2 sets a limit on the amount of data that can be passed from the SCORM package. Many SCORM package exceed these limits. Disable the setting “SCORM 1.2 standard mode” under:Admin > Plugins > Activity modules > SCORM

7. SCORM attempts SCORM is designed to allow a learner to exit and later return to the same point they left from. This means that each time they enter the SCORM they are using the same single attempt. A new attempt is only available if the package sets cmi.core.lesson_status to “completed”, “passed” or “failed”

8. SCORM attempts Display attempt status This displays a summary of attempts to the student on their My Moodle page and/or the SCORM entry page and how their final grade is calculated.

9. SCORM attempts Number of attempts This controls how many attempts can be created by the learner – not how many times they can enter an existing attempt. Force completed Some SCORM packages don't set the cmi.lesson_status value correctly – this setting allows you to fix this by forcing the status to be complete.

10. SCORM attempts Force new attempt This setting hides the "Start new attempt" checkbox and prevents review mode. Scorm allows the learner to return to the same attempt at any point and a new attempt is not possible unless the previous attempt has been set as "completed", "passed" or "failed"; If your SCORM package does not do this, the user will always re-enter the same attempt.

11. SCORM attempts Lock after final attempt When the total number of allowed attempts have been used and the last attempt has a complete/passed/failed status it will prevent further access to the SCORM.

12. Mastery Score Some SCORM packages specify a passing score which results in the attempt being flagged as finished. You can disable this behaviour by removing the mastery score node from your imsmanifest.xml file. More info: https://docs.moodle.org/en/SCORM_FAQ#Moodle_changes_cmi.core.lesson_st atus_from_.22completed.22_or_.22passed.22_to_.22failed.22 https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-50620

13. SCORM Grading Grading method Some SCORM packages return raw scores, others only return a lesson_status so the following options control how a grade is generated within a single attempt. Highest grade Average grade Sum grade Learning objects

14. SCORM Grading Attempts Grading This allows the teacher to set how multiple SCORM attempts (not entries) are graded. Highest Average First Last completed attempt (exludes 'failed')

15. Display issues SCORM Authoring tool updates. Moodle updates New Window vs Current window Remove course structure and activity name Theme issues Moodle forum

16. SCORM Debugger The SCORM debugger shows the communication that occurs between the SCORM package and Moodle

17. SCORM Reports

18. Rustici SCORM Cloud Rustici have a commercial hosted SCORM Cloud solution with a Moodle add-on which provides full SCORM 2004 and partial Tin Can package support. Limited free version of the SCORM cloud is available. Good way to identify if an issue is related to your SCORM package or a possible bug in Moodle. http://scorm.com/scorm-solved/scorm-cloud-features/app-integrations/moodle-integration/
