Scorm Content Licensing

Hi,
Looking for a way to manage access to distributed scorm content. Would be glad if someone has information about it and can comment. To describe in more details;
  1.  consider you have scorm content, you give it to different people/organizations so that they can import it their lms
  2. but you want to control the access based on parameters like; number of users, acess time. 


I guess to accomplish thim, i need something like a licensing server and then embed some kind of code to my scorm packages. But i dont know how to implement this.

thanks in advance.

Best option:
Use LTI - create a Moodle site that hosts your content and make it the LTI provider - then give your clients access to the SCORM within your LMS via LTI - then do the reporting on your Moodle site to work out what to charge the client smile - also look at stopping the use of SCORM - just use built-in LMS authoring tools or H5P etc... see my recent blog post: https://www.catalyst.net.nz/blog/scorm-expert-stop-publishing-new-scorm-content

If your clients don't have an LMS that supports LTI and you need to provide them with SCORM packages you could try our SCORM Remote plugin:

I really wish I could but SCORM provides some features H5P does not. It prevents people from skipping to the end. It actually tracks completion. It doesn't allow the user to use the URL to change grades. There are aspects of H5P that can prevent skip to the end--but those limit other features. Can H5P track completion? Sometimes. But users have to jump through hoops (and know they have to jump through hoops) to get it to work. And when the users can change grades, it makes the completion a lot less reliable.

And there are some things H5P just can't do. Sometimes I want stuff to move around on the screen. Sometimes I want layers. Sometimes I have audio that isn't in a video and I need captions. Are there workarounds? Probably. Could I build my animationy stuff in another program and import it into H5P? Maybe. I know I can do these things in SCORM.

I've said this before. I want to love H5P. I just can't...yet. It's still growing up.

...that doesn't mean I love SCORM. But for now, it does what I need, even though it is really aggravating.
