Troubleshooting

Videos Don't Play

LMS Doesn't Recognize Package

  • Solution:* Try SCORM 1.2 instead of 2004. Ensure ZIP file wasn't modified. Check LMS file size limits.

Progress Not Tracking

  • Solution:* Verify completion criteria settings. Check LMS tracking configuration. Test with SCORM Cloud to isolate issues.

Package Too Large

  • Solution:* Compress images, host large videos externally, split into multiple smaller packages, or use HTML package with external hosting.

Best Practices

✓

  • Export Guidelines:* - Test exports thoroughly before distribution
  • Keep package sizes under 500MB for best LMS compatibility

  • Use version numbers in export file names

  • Maintain export backups for archival purposes

  • Update exports when making significant course changes

  • Document which export version is deployed where
