Question

Adobe 12.5 - how to package multiple SCO

Hi there.

I'm new to Captivate - no obvious access to Classic. I am trying to figure out how to package multiple SCO together when Adobe's Multi-SCORM packaging is not available to me. 

Any search I do leads me here: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/classic/multi-scorm-packager.html

But that does not work with Captivate 12.5 on a Mac. 

Any advice, tips, or alternatives would be appreciated. Without the ability to do this, Captivate is a no-go as a tool for me.

    I have Captivate 11 and 12. But the Multi-SCO Packager no longer starts up in Captivate 11. It appears to be a dead end. I need a multi-sco packager for my specific application. The only one I can find in the open market is a linux tool called Simple SCORM Packager on Github by Mihai Daniel. Is there anything else out there?

    Hi there,

    I haven't had any luck finding something. There are step-by-step instructions on on Rustici's site here.

    They're helpful, but you have to know how to set up the imsmanifest.xml which is more involved than my expertise supports. I've used AI to help me through it but it's been a ton of work. 

    All in all - from my limited expereince and perspective, not having the Multi-SCO packager is a huge loss and without it, or something to replace it outside of Captivate, I'm not yet convinced that Captivate is the right solution for me.

    If you have a subscription license for Captivate 12 then you automatically also have a license to download and install Captivate Classic.  That installation will also contain the MultiSCORM packaging tool, however only content created in Captivate Classic will work with it.

    Thanks Rod. As a new user of Captivate, my projects are all built in the new version and I don't really have any interest in building them in an old version. Do you know any other ways, even manual, to package these courses together since the tool won't work?

    Unfortunately no.  Many years ago there used to be a small software app you could buy or download that would package valid SCORM zip files into a multi-SCORM package.  But that seems to have disappeared, probably because Captivate stole the market.
