I've a couple training courses that I sometimes provide to clients. They are both a few text pages + 20-25 videos + a link out to take an exam in my LMS.
My preference has always been to provide embed links to the videos, as it allows us to easily push out updates. Then the client embeds that in their own LMS / training package (however they want). But two clients are requesting the courses are delivered in a SCORM package to be delivered on their LMS.
I'm familiar with the authoring tools like Captivate and Storyline Articulate. I'm not a huge fan as they feel like canned powerpoints. I'm also not sure that's what the client wants.
Two questions:
(1) My understanding is I can package a SCORM file manually. How does that content present itself when put into an LMS? Would it present slide-by-slide in a single panel (similar to how I see storyline work) or is it distributed based on how the LMS is set-up?
(2) Would doing it manually be advantageous in any way?
Couple things to watch out for -
Aside from familiarizing yourself with the IMS Manifest format and the above cautionary items you can do do this without to many hiccups.
There is a packager on https://cybercussion.com if you'd like to demo that after you have prepared your Shareable Content Object.
