dear ladies and gentlemen,
[background] we have Moodle 2.7 running, and there is a SCORM package uploaded for a course and running without problem
[problem] somehow teacher found some typos and want to update the SCORM package (same content with text revised)
[question] how can we replace / edit the SCORM package by keeping the same statistics already made by student?
i can't find any answer by https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/SCORM_settings
please help and advice, many thanks.
Hi there, I think I have a solution for you.
First, make sure you've re-exported the SCORM package using the same SCORM ID numbers. I think these ID numbers should by default remain the same in pretty much any development tool -- I know they do in Captivate.
In Moodle, click the Edit link to the right of the SCORM package's name on the course page.
On the Edit settings page that appears, drag and drop the updated SCORM package onto the "Package file" window to replace the old SCORM package.
As long as the SCORM IDs are the same you should retain the previous student data.
HTH,
Jon
Hi Jon,
thanks for your reply.
1) how can I check / know the SCORM IDs in both package?
I am not familiar the authoring tool by teacher so I guess I have to check by myself.
2) If they are different, can I just revise it through Notepad?
Many thanks!

To that the answer is partially yes, you need to check the cpm.js file, the manifest, and the corresponding tables. Hope that helps
The easy answer to your question is to find out if the original "source" file used to create the published SCORM package was updated (as opposed to an entirely new replacement source file being created).
If that was the case, it probably won't matter which development tool was used. I know that Captivate won't arbitrarily change the SCORM IDs as long as you reuse the original file.
