Question

Publishing Options that are not SCORM and not FLASH

Is there a way to create a stand-alone, interactive training file that can be run on its own?

 

There are situations where we do not import a training to our LMS. The MP4 files do not allow for interactivity. The Flash executable files no longer work because of Flash deprecation. Is there another publishing option that would allow us to send a training to someone outside the LMS?

    The best and easiest way is to upload the HTML5 output to a webserver (supporting JSON) and send the URL to the learner.

    When I try to publish it as  HTML5 output, it saves it as a zip folder with many files in it. When we upload it to an LMS this works well (because it needs to be SCORM compliant). But if we try to save it to an internal site, such as a SharePoint site, it only saves the zip file. We do not have an internal website or CMS.

     

    Is there another way to publish an HTML5 file in a different format (that's not a zip folder)?

    A SCO is an output format for a LMS and the folder will indeed be zipped automatically.

     

    If you want to upload to a webserver (Sharepoint is NOT a webserver), you have to turn off Reporting under Quiz Preferences. The automatic zipping will not occur, unless you check the option manually. Depending on the webserver setup you'll need to zip or not. I never zip the output folder which will have all the necessary files, but not those needed for reporting and the SCORM requirements. When you upload the output folder to the webserver, you only need to send the url to the index.html file. Here is an example of the most recent tutorial I uploaded to my domain (which acts as my webserver):

    http://www.lilybiri.com/published/RemediationLoop/index.html

     

    When you click that URL it will open the tutorial which has question slides but is not set up to report to a LMS. My webserver is not a LMS.
