I have been having trouble with Microsoft's Digital Literacy Curriculum that is available through the Moodle scorm exchange. I could not get it to work. Whenever I click on it I would either get api error messages or it would display navigation links at the bottom but that is it... nothing else but the navigation buttons and a BLANK PAGE. I have tried editing the imsmanifest.xml file so that every link actually point to the file instead of relying on slash arguments, thinking that there might be linking problems... but to no avail.
I am completely lost with this issue now. Anyone could give me bright ideas on how I could get Microsoft's Digital Literacy curriculum up an running?
Look at the attached pic to see what I typically get when I launch the lesson.
I had run into a similar problem where I would get a blank screen where the object should have been.
In my case it was caused by a bug in the code for the scorm module. I posted the fix for it in MDL-17566

I am having the same exact problem! The screen shows up EXACTLY like the one in the picture. I went to try your fix, but it looks like all the code is already there. I'm running 1.9.3 on LAMP system. I briefly upgraded to 1.9.4, but then reverted 1.9.3 after I had some errors. Any other ideas? I can send files if that helps? I would really like to get this working and appreciate ANY input on the issue. Thanks!!!
Hello
I'm having the same problem now. Did you do the server configuration? This steps solve the problem?
I was looking for the "error reports" in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and I look something in the "default.html" file about this code:
<script type="text/"><!--
var smartlinkElement = null;
var md=null;
Initialize();
try { if (g_oAPI!=null) { smartlinkElement=getValue("elementk.resources.smartlink"); if (smartlinkElement != null) { document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="/smartlink/v0.04/api.js"></script>'); }
}
}
catch(e){ } --> </script> specially in the line:
document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="/smartlink/v0.04/api.js"></script>'It refers to an archive wich doesn´t exists in the manifest or the file, but I can´t find help about this file
or "SmartLink" API. Maybe if someone knows about it can hel us with this problem.
... I have Moodle 1.9.4+ (Build: 20090225), 7.05. , Firefox 3.0.7 ...
Thanks, I'll be reading.... see you
Hello,
Did anybody solve this issue?
I have the same problem, but the problem exists only in Firefox, and in IE it works fine. It is not about the Moodle, but about the JavaScript I think. I have tried to view these Web pages in ofline mode (NON-Scorm package) and it is the same. It works fine with IE, but have problems with Firefox.
Its the same if you launch it from Microsoft site.

How did you get the Digital Literacy packages to work? I have the problem (above) in IE. But yours works fine in IE? When I load them I just get the blank screen like other people have posted in these forums.
What is your Moodle setup? I have tested the Digital Literacy packages on 1.9.3, 1.9.4 and 1.9.5 using IE and...no luck! I have been trying to get these to work for a LONG time. It sounds like they just work for you. It must be in your setup. What is your setup? I'm using a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PhP 5+) setup. Any help would be VERY appreciated
Thanks!

The problem is not in Moodle, but in course itself. I found in the course's page code that it checks the browser type and shows the content only in the case of IE which means that course creator (Microsoft) is aware of this problem. I know that there are some ActiveX that could be interpreted only by IE, but I'm not sure if it causes the problem here or something else. I think that the problem could be solved only by changing the course code, but I'm not sure if it is an easy job.
>How did you get the Digital Literacy packages to work?
I didn't do anything special. My Moodle setup is 1.9.5+, Windows 2003, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.1, PhP 5.
I used SCORM module from Moodle to import the course.
I hope this helps.

Could it be that you are using a Windows server instead of Linux?
When I zip the folder labeled "course" that is inside the SCORM package and load it by itself as a Moodle SCORM module -- ALMOST everything works-- except for a few of the interactives that call other pages when clicked. I'm not a programmer, but I bet that anyone with a little experience could get the whole thing working. Your thoughts?

Hi Clare
As you can see from the post many people are having problems with the variants of the Digital Literacy provided by Microsoft. Although i can not help with your particular problem i am curios as to how you got your xp version to work.

Hello.... I was trying to understand this problem but is too complex.
I'm sure that the problem comes from some activex control. Sometime ago I was visiting the office training site, and I install it, but I can´t remember form where site or the name of that .
Now I can view the contents from my PC using IE 7, but it not works using Mozilla (because the activex only works for IE). But, if I use another PCs... in some works, in other not, but I can't install the activex because I don't rember the source (¡?)
If someone can check the addons on the IE instalation maybe we can detect and fix the issue.
Saludos a todos desde Bogota. =)
Hi Edgar
I too have been having problems with the digital Literacy packages however i believe i have found a work around. My solution does mean that some self tests do not work and i put this down to Moodle (our set up) not allowing it to display in a seperate window or active x controls. This will allow you to use the packages but not as intended after all they work on a local machine without a problem.
After uploading to your moodle and unzipping the files create the scorm/aicc package as normal but the manifest.xml you want is in the course folder NOT the one outside. This will work as i say as a work around. I have decided to create a web page linking all the flash media (test wise) for each course this works in moodle.
Hope this help
Regards
Eddie
Hi Eddie
I was struggling with this for a loonng time. Came accross your work around , pointed the scorm to the course manifest.xml and wow - it works Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
On my local host ( windows environment) the DL courses work as intended, but on my live hosted site (linux environment) it behaves in exactly the way others describe it above - a blank screen - on right clicking in this blank screen you get a "movie not loaded" message
I will now try your web page linking all the flash media - once again thank you
Eddie - thanks for the tip and yes, linking to the file in the course folder does seem to work except that I don't get any buttons to continue etc.
I'm assuming this is a Flash issue of sort and I was interested in your comment about a web page to link these etc - as a non-coder, could you provide a bit more info if you have managed to get it working ? Thanks
I also get missing icons next to each course component in the list - any ideas ? Maybe a folder permissions issue ?
Any help/hints you can give would be much appreciated
