If you have the Adobe eLearning Suite, it comes with the Multi SCO Packager which does the same thing as RELOAD, but for those that don’t have it, you can download RELOAD Editor for free.

Here’s a webcast that shows you how to package your Captivate SCOs / Lessons into one big course.  I used the SCORM 1.2 setup and packaged three SCOs into one course:

If you need conditional branching between SCOs, here’s a great tutorial by Jeff Caddick:

    Hi Jim. Thanks for the plug!

    Interestingly, I do have the e-Learning suite, and thus Multi-SCO packager, and I found that it certainly didn’t do what I needed, which is what prompted me to use RELOAD. So I’m not sure I agree that they do the same thing.

    And in case it matters (I’m really not sure), my solution is still SCORM 1.2 focused.

    Thank YOU for your advice and great video. Without that I probably wouldn’t have figured out my problem.

      Thanks Jeff, I’ve updated the post.

     I’m new at the whole SCORM thing.. and I didn’t understand the difference in terminology between SCO and SCORM.

    I just started using captivate 5.5 and I can see where I can export a SCORM module, but what do you mean by SCO’s. Hope that isn’t too dumb of a question.

    Thanks so much

      SCORM is a standard.  SCO is a sharable content object.  The idea behind the SCORM standard is to have reusable bits of content (SCOs) that you can share among multiple courses saving you time by not having to re-create another that part of the course.  If you want to learn more, I’d suggest looking here:

         Yeah.. I probably should learn more :-) I would think this would be the best method when creating courses. Thanks so much for the time and the link. I’ll be doing some reading :-)

    Hi,

    I used your tutorial to compress a Scorm content, a swf file to the content of instruction and another swf containing the quiz, answer the quiz but when the note is cut in half, ie within the Scorm my score appears normal but when I my note to the account appears in half, eg file appears in 75% but 37.5% appears in the account, I am using an account in Scorm Cloud.

    You know what might be dividing the score?

    Note:

    My setup in this captivate pass / fail and providing percent in the two files, the difference is that I provide only the Quiz Quiz Report and Quiz I provide the text and Slide View

      @Igor:  I would contact Scorm Cloud to see if they can assist.  It is strange that the course shows 75% but it reports only 35% on Scorm Cloud.

  • josh

    my project doesn’t move from one organizational item to the next (from one SCO to the next) automatically when i reach the end of one. what am i missing? i would like for it to just move to the next item in the organizational list automatically, but i can’t seem to figure it out.

    any help would be greatly appreciated. i’ve been pulling my hair out trying to find answers.

      josh : This doesn’t happen automatically. You can use JavaScript to accomplish this. Each LMS is different so the syntax of the following calls may be different for your LMS:

      SCORM2004_CallSetValue(‘adl.nav.request’, ‘continue’);
      SCORM2004_CallTerminate();
