Using SCORM, Captivate 3/4 and an LMS

[Alan321977]

Hello,

I am new to SCORM and I was wondering if it is possible to still use SCORM even though the Captivate files (.swf) will not be located inside an LMS.

Many Thanks

SCORM is a standard which is used to allow E-learning content to communicate with a SCORM compatible LMS. Therefore it would not work without being deployed in an LMS.

Well...it could be hacked.

There are past posts about using the SCORM reporting but changing it to send the data to a database directly instead of to the SCORM API.

I don't recall any direct links/FAQs but searching this forum should help ("SCORM to database" perhaps? And Andrew Chemey is one who often suggested ways to do this...).

So by default Michael is correct...however, if you have Javascript programmers available, you may be able to hack the output (HTML and JS files) to redirect the scoring to an email, or database, or something else instead of the SCORM API.

HTH

Great, thanks for all the help.

Think in the short term I'll adapt the project to work in an LMS.

Cheers
