MP4 SCORM-wrapped?

Report · May 30, 2012

We have some modules that start in Captivate and need to be viewed on iPads, etc., and tracked in an LMS.

We can convert SWF to MP4 for viewing - no problem. But to track them, the LMS needs them SCORM-compliant.

Does anyone know how to wrap MP4 for SCORM compliance?

Captivate 6 will be out shortly and I've seen posts from Adobe insiders talking about its HTML5 output.

I suggest you watch that space to see if their HTML5 output also includes SCORM-compliance. If so, it might solve your problem.

Thanks, Rod. It doesn't solve the immediate one for the client, but for the

future, definitely.

Hi,

You can convert your captivate course in HTML 5 format to play it on iPADs.

Use Captivate HTML 5 converter, to convert your scorm based course into HTML 5 and then publish it into zip format.

upload this ZIP file on SCORM LMS and see if it works.

Please download the Captivate HTML 5 converter from this page : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/captivate_html5.html

you need to follow following steps :

1. Publish the course in ZIP format with Scorm reporting enables

2. Unzip the package into a folder.

3. install the Adobe Captivate HTML5 converter and the launch it. Load the SWF from extracted folder and click on 'Convert' in HTML 5 converter application,

4. Once conversion is done, then click on 'Publish' button on HTML 5 converter and this will create a ZIP file inside the extracted folder.

5. Upload the new ZIP file and check if that solves your problem.

Adobe HTML 5 converter is still in beta phase and so some of the functionality in the project might not work.

Please check the FAQ and other information provided on the same page : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/captivate_html5.html.

Thanks

IF AdityaKalina's steps don't work for you...

IF you can get the Captivate file into a full MP4 output...

Then simply putting it in an HTML-compliant SCORM 'wrapper' is fairly trivial...IF all you want to do is track that the user launched the file from the LMS.

Pipworks has one that may do ya fine:

Or freely reply here or direct and we can discuss further.
