David. Are you looking for the specifications themselves? That's the closest thing to a manual, I suppose. You can get the most recent SCORM specifications from ADL.

Is there a SCORM Manual for compliance?

ok, so I tested it on SCORM Cloud. I looked at the code and one of the messages I was having trouble with was: “Get Value (cmi.suspend_data) returned. SCORM ERROR FOUND-Set Error State:403-The Suspend Data field has not been set for this SCO.”

What does this mean? Thanks for any help.

Yes, I go to exit out of the LMS after the messages occur, and the same messages pop up again. I am getting ready to test it at cloud.scorm.com…

Is there anything else I should know?

Kyle.

Lot’s of possibilities here… My instinct is that you’ve already called Terminate (telling the LMS you wish to exit), but you’re continuing to try to interact with the API. It’s a guess, though. Have you tried testing the course at cloud.scorm.com? SCORM Cloud is rock solid, so you’ll know based on that if the problem resides with the content (likely) or the LMS (unlikely in this case).

Does that help?

Hi, I’m new at working with SCORM. I’m trying to upload and LMS lesson that is SCORM compliant and there are some error messages that pop up when uploading. One of the messages states: Get Value (cmi.entry) failed. Retrieve Data After Termination…or Get Value (cmi.objectives_count) failed. Retrieve Data After Termination.

Is there anything I can do to not have these messages pop up, that is relatively simple and easy to understand? Thanks.

Never mind. Mike answered my question on Twitter. Thanks, Tim!

Thank you, Tim! Would you be willing to expand on your phrase “intentional effort?” I’ve been searching the web all morning, and all I see is 3rd party software that uses screen capture. This really won’t work, as we want our customers to have an interactive experience and choose their own learning path. Will any of your software solutions work for this case? I’d be happy to send you samples of what I’m working on.

Thanks for any guidance you can give.

An interactive PDF won’t be SCORM conformant unless it’s via an intentional effort. I’ve never heard of InDesign producing something conformant.

Hello,

I currently develop elearning courses using a variety of methods. One is by creating documents in InDesign and exporting as interactive PDFs. Is the result SCORM-compliant without the use of a third party converter?

Thanks for your help.
