SCORM and Captivate

SCORM and Captivate

I am new to Moodle...

  I am teaching a class that has 10 chapters. Each chapter has been created in Captivate, and out put as a SCORM 1.2 package (ziped).

I created a Course with the Topic style. I'd like each topic to be a chapter and use the scorm activity for each chapter.

So I created a chapter 1 topic and selected the chpater 1 scorm zip and clicked save and return to coures and the goes blank. What did I do wrong? Do I need to put the files in a specific place?

oh I am using a test moodle 1.9 on a XP machine.

Thanks for your help

THanks for the link/info.

Now when I select the scorm file and click choose it returns to the updating screen. I click on the save and return to course button, It comes back and says manifest file not found. I looked in the zip file and the imsmanifest.xmlis in the top layer. Did I miss somthing?

try unzipping the zip in your course files area (in it's own directory) - then instead of selecting the zip file, select the imsmanifest.xml in the extracted dir.

That's a practical solution for <= version1.9, that appears not to work for Moodle 2 with its hashed file names.  Is unzipping in Moodle 2 constrained by file size?

Moodle 2.0 has much better Zip handling so the same issues don't really apply - but it's relatively easy to set up a Repository of SCORM objects with the new SCORM API which could have the files unzipped.

Thanks, Dan.  But more explanation, please?  I have unzipped the SCORM course in a repository but the file picker only allows me to select one file at a time.  Quite apart from imsmanifest.xml, there are file folders to get into the system.

More on my issue follows on from the topic at  http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=158881

you just select the imsmanifest.xml file as per usual. hopefully that should work...

...but you're kinda on your own at the moment - no one else has tried this (AFAIK) and I haven't had time to check it out yet. but theoretically it should all work.

Tried that, and got:

Notice: Undefined variable: sco in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\datamodels\aicclib.php on line 588 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\datamodels\aicclib.php on line 588 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$incomplete in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\locallib.php on line 763

Same result with two separate lessons... then if I ignore the error and try to launch the lesson, the consequent error message is:

Notice: Undefined variable: sco in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\datamodels\aicclib.php on line 588 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\datamodels\aicclib.php on line 588 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$sco in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\player.php on line 110 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\player.php on line 116 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\player.php on line 127 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\player.php on line 130 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\moodle2\mod\scorm\player.php on line 131

and below the empty TOC:

hmmm - looks like this might need some more work - can you please create a tracker issue for it and explain all the steps you used to create the repo etc?

thanks!
