Hi Carlos,

When entering a SCORM course on dotLRN, no extra window should be created, although the SCORM player (navigation on black background on the left and contents on the right frame) should be displayed in the current window.

What version of dotLRN are you using?

Hi Emmanuelle,

thanks a lot for your response,

here my comments:
- we are using dotLRN 2.3.1.
- in our case, after clicking on the scorm-course, a new window is opening and the SCORM player is showing the content as you are writting (navigation on black background on the left and contents on the right frame)

-> what we want: to show the content in a new window and also the navigation delivered by eXelearning and not by the scorm player of dotLRN, it means not the navigation on the black background.

have a hug

Carlos
p.s. are you in Costa Rica?

Hi Carlos,

- we are using dotLRN 2.3.1.

I don't have any 2.3.1 version to test with anymore, the latest version is 2.5.0.

-> what we want: to show the content in a new window and also the navigation
delivered by eXelearning and not by the scorm player of dotLRN, it means not
the navigation on the black background.

In the admin of the SCORM course, you can change the "presentation format" and set it to "Without LORSM index style". That will remove the index on black background on the left. Nevertheless, I'm not sure that option was available in version 2.3.1 or not, I don't remember.

p.s. are you in Costa Rica?

No, I'm in Spain. I wish I were in Costa Rica though, it's a beautiful country :).

Hi Emmanuelle,

thanks a lot for your answers,

I will check this weekend the new version and try to check how is working with eXelearning, thanks.

the option "without LORSM index style" is also available in the "old" version, but it is not working well in our case.

Spain is also a beautiful country 😉 where are you in Spain? I am in Germany now, today sunny, despite the cloud from Island.

have a hug

Carlos

OK, let us know if you have any problem with it.

version, but it is not working well in our case.

yes, I kinda remember that it wasn't working as expected in that version.

Hi Emmanuelle,

I hope you are very fine, and with some fever regarding Spain and the world cup in Africa 😉

I would like to ask you if I could see how is working exelearning in your dotLRN, may this possible for you? I mean, what I want is to get an access to your dotLRN to see how well is working an learning module generated and scorm-exported by eXelearning.

have a hug and I hope, you could give me a pilot access to see it, thanks in advance

un abrazo

Carlos

I finally got exelearning installed on my 64bit machine and I have a version of dotlrn that was installed by solutiongrove several years ago. Is there anyone who is still interested in testing files created by exelearning on my instance?

The elp files I've exported as SCORM and IMS have not worked well. They do not display and some won't even load.

If you are interested please let me know. I'd like to get to the point where I can instruct others how to use the exelearning to create UoLs to be used in the dotlrn.

Hi Carlos,

I hope that you received account information via e-mail. I've had mixed success using IMS and SCORM created with eXeleanring. Please tell me which ones you use and whether they work in the LORS or other dotLRN package?

thank you very much.

We have create a new SCORM package (which uses a slightly modified version of the javascript SCORM2004 player from Illias) we are using at MGH that runs on OpenACS that we have not yet prepared for general distribution, but plan to.

I'd be happy to test any exported SCORM courses using this version. The more testing before general distribution the better.

Contact me via email to coordinate.

Carl,

Hi Kenneth,

The SCORM player in dotLRN (lors+lorsm) does not support IMS-CP packages, only SCORM 1.2 ones (which uses its own flavor of IMS-CP).

Regarding eXe Learning, when exporting a course as a SCORM 1.2 package, it adds LOM metadata in a separated file that is referenced from the imsmanifest.xml one. There was a bug in lors and lorsm when parsing LOM metadata included in a separated file that would cause the import to fail.

I have fixed this bug in both packages (lors and lorsm) and committed to HEAD.

Hi Emmanuelle,

I just exported a scorm 1.2 file from the eXelearning and the uploaded it in the LORS and the left navigation didn't show up, but now i think maybe because i only put one text item in the uol...

now i followed a link from the reload to the following.... I just watched the following presentation about lifelong learning <

TENCompetence Learning Design Services for Coppercore Service Integration Quick Start Distribution
This download is a modified version of the current CopperCore Runtime Environment (CCRT). It has been modified to include the updated SLeD player and the Widget Server. Since version 2.0.0 this download also includes the Astro player.

Beta Cross platform download

In order to use the bundled "Astro" application, you will need to use the linktool or sledadmin to create users and runs as you usually would. (See the "quick start guide for SLeD and the linktool" link below for information on how to create runs and users) Once you have done this you should point your web browser to http://localhost:8080/astro. You should then be prompted to login to Astro.
