I’ve been assigned the task of creating a SCORM 1.2 module to deliver to a client for import into their LMS. The module requirements include a video (mp4) with closed captions provided in .vtt format, along with a textual guide followed by a quiz.
Having no prior experience in the e-learning domain, I’ve spent countless hours searching online without much success. It’s possible I’m not even asking the right questions. I’m seeking an affordable or preferably open-source solution, considering this is likely a one-time project that I may never encounter again. Can anyone recommend a solution that meets these criteria?
You can create a SCORM package by hand if you’re technically inclined. Download an example test package from Rustici/SCORM Cloud, and use it as a roadmap for your development. It’s only a few XML and manifest files together with standard JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. The JavaScript API is used by you to interact with the LMS. Because Storyline’s output is compatible with practically all LMSs out of the box, it may be well worth the investment to use an LMS that implements the SCORM standard badly and has platform-specific kinks. To test your package, create a free account on SCORM Cloud. Source: ten years of luxury customization
Yes, absolutely! I did this for years with Flash, creating custom eLearning. Pipwerks is a great wrapper, and Philip is a great guy. If you have questions, I’m sure he’ll help. You can (or used to be able to) set up a free account on SCORM Cloud to test it. I did this for SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, and it worked really well.
Lectora, Captivate, and similar tools make it easy for instructional designers to create eLearning without needing a developer.
I’ve uploaded most of my old Flash/WBT engine code to GitHub if you want to take a look. If you’re good with JavaScript, it should make sense. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Depending on the complexity of your solution, you’ll need to track a lot of states, like page views, interaction results, etc.
