A SCORM-ready template: Part 1F. Modifying the CSS styles


Modifying the CSS styles

The css styles are defined in several sheets. Any of the styles can be overridden by adding a new definition for the selector to /css-local/userStyles.js or to individual pages or even individual elements on a page. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO change any of the files inside the css/ folder but you can add your own overrides to userStyles.css.

Create multi-sco learning modules using the Reload Editor: Part I

Reload Editor Tutorial Part I – Create a package and import resources
With an emphasis on use for SumTotal 6.5 and SCORM 1.2

Once you have completed building a single learning module (called a “SCO” or “Shareable Content Object” in SCORM terms), you will probably want to link it together with a quiz or with other learning module SCO’s.

To piece together multiple SCO’s into a single learning module, you will need to replace the manifests created with each SCO with a single manifest that lists all of them. The Reload Editor is a tool which will allow you to create manifests which aggregate all types of learning modules together into a larger package.

Captivate and SumTotal 6.5: Part 1. Setup

I’m involved in producing some Captivate-based assessments for use with SumTotal 6.5. There are many settings and variables that must be set correctly to get everything working to our specifications, so it took some serious testing to figure out the best settings.

Hopefully this will shorten the time for anyone with similar needs.

The requirements: We are producing competency-based learning modules and assessments. Users must complete the multi-SCO assessment with a score of 100%. They aren’t that easy, so it is expected that they will need several if not many tries to complete one SCO. Each interaction within any given SCO will allow three tries before the slide moves on.
Each SCO will allow an infinite number of tries.

Getting Questionmark Perception to work with Docent 6.5

Making Questionmark Perception quizzes SCORM-compliant, AND compatible with Docent 6.5 LMS was a big piece of our recent Docent implementation project, since we had many legacy quizzes.

Here are the steps involved:

  1. Install QMWise (available from Questionmark.com) on the Perception server.
  2. Install Content packager (available from Questionmark.com) on your workstation
    ( tip, do NOT have SSL enabled on the server – it blocks QMWise communication if the certificate is slightly misnamed).
  3. Read the Knowledgebase article “How can I call Perception from a SCORM-compliant Learning Management System?”
  4. Get the files scorm.pip and perceptionSCO.htm from Questionmark.com.
  5. Continue reading
