You have imported your content into a SCORM-compliant LMS. You can launch the content
through the LMS. However, when you return to the LMS, it has not saved your progress.
Identify two possible reasons for this.
A.
You are not enrolled in the course.
B.
The player cannot properly communicate with the LMS.
C.
LmsConfig.ScormVersion in config.js is not set to either “1.2” or “1.3”.
D.
The GetHTTPPostData.class applet cannot communicate with the LMS.
E.
The items in your outline are not marked “Group for LMS”.
Explanation:
C:Just created a LMS package without issue. But when publishing on our LMS
(we’re using Oracle iLearn) the module would work fine until I try to run one of the simulations.
After clicking “See It”, “Try it” or “Know It”, nothing would happen.
Turns out the reason why not was because I’d built the package with the wrong version of
SCORM. When publishing (and SCORM version is set when publishing, not as part of the UPK
options), UPK defaults to SCORM version 1.3 (2004).
However our LMS is only at 1.2. So the reason why the simulations were not loaded was simply
that the package and LMS could not communicate over progress/status.
Changing the SCORM version to 1.2 in UPK, and republishing the LMS package, resolved the
issue. The package now presents, completes and tracks perfectly.
[Annoyingly, this setting is not saved so you have to remember to reset it each time you publish.
Would be better as a global option – you listening Oracle?]
E:Publish Learning Objects to Various Deployments
In previous releases, content published to an LMS had to rely on the LMS to create the outline.
The resulting navigation between modules, sections and topics was not always consistent or
desirable. The addition of the Group for LMS property allows the content developer to control
how the content displays when published.
If a section or module is grouped, it and all of its children are displayed as one unit in the
outline and can be tracked individually. If a section or module is left ungrouped, the LMS
creates the full outline.
Note:Will UPK run in my Learning Management System (LMS)?
A: The LMS Published content is AICC 3.5, SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (4th
Edition) compliant. However, this is not a guarantee that the courses will run properly in a
customer’s LMS. This is due to different interpretations of the standards, LMS versions, service
pack upgrades, and LMS customization. What we recommend is that before the customer
purchases, the customer loads the sample UPK LMS test course in their LMS to confirm that it
works properly.
Note 2:One factor to be considered when using a blended learning approach is to develop and
deploy
content that will be portable and delivered in different mediums – CD-ROM, corporate Intranet,
or launched through an LMS. If the desired method of distribution is an LMS, it is important
that the e-Learning content complies with eLearning industry standards, the most widelyaccepted of which is SCORM (Shareable Content Object Repository Model). All UPK content is
SCORM compliant by outputting to an LMS package during content publishing.

The correct answer is a and B.
A). You are not enrolled in the course.
B). The player cannot properly communicate with the LMS. Set LmsConfig.DebugMode in config.js to “true” to check this.
