Troubleshooting
Videos Don't Play
Solution: Ensure videos are in MP4 format. For large videos, host externally (YouTube, Vimeo) and embed by URL instead of uploading directly.
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
- 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
