Does anyone know of a good method for importing SCORM contents into Moodle Book?
I need my teachers to edit easily and inline, as SCORM lags this need very much. I have tried the import option in Book content. It does import contents but not index, and it would require as much time as needing my teachers to copy+paste to save some time.
As I find Moodle Book very useful, for its easyness to edit, I am sure that this has been solved somehow.
Any help or clue would be very appreciated.
To clarify are you trying to load a SCORM file into a book page, or do you want to load each slide of an existing SCORM course into a book page?
If you want to load each slide, go back to the original content file, probably a ppt. There is no plug-in to load multiple book pages from any content file. Building each page as a separate page is a chore. I saved each slide as a jpg to keep each book page in a consistent size. I would not recommend copy and paste from a Microsoft product into Moodle.
As a student I rather take one SCORM course, than manually navigate through a Moodle book, page by page. If your original SCORM course had any branching - all of that will be lost using Moodle book.

What I am trying is to import each SCORM slide or content, into each page in a book. So, the purpose is to have in the book the same number of pages as there are in the SCORM, with the same order, an index well built with all the names correctly written.
My SCORM contents do not come from a PowerPoint or anything from Microsoft. They have all been built using an IMS / SCORM editing tool called eXeLearning (http://exelearning.net).
When importing, each "slide" or content from SCORM is just perfect as a book chapter. The problem is the index, as it has an order that has nothing to do with the original. As I read somewhere it seems to follow the order in which it was written in the filesystem, but that's not at all the intention. Additionaly index items have no title, so it becomes quite a mess to look for what title needs to go in each book chapter, and also moving each chapter till it corresponds to the original intention.
So, what I need to know is if there is any way, script or not, to have a complete import done the right way.
Hi Victor
if you have access to the source files from exelearning you can export them as HTML file.
Otherwise you should cut&paste but you will loose several features from your site.
