Create a SCORM Package

1. On the MOLE course home page, click Turn editing on at the upper right of the page.

2. In the relevant page section, click Add an activity and in the resulting pop-up, under activities, select SCORM Package. Click Add.

3. On the Adding a new SCORM Package page, Change the package's Name, if necessary. Enter a Description of the package, including instructions for students if necessary.

4. Under Appearance, click Show more at the bottom of the section, and:

      • Select whether to Display package in a New window or the Current window.

      • At Student skip content structure page, select when the content structure page should display.

      • At Display preview mode, select whether to allow a preview button to display, by which students can browse an activity before attempting it.

      • Select whether to Display course structure on entry page, and where to display it in the SCORM player.

      • At Show Navigation, choose whether to show or hide the navigation buttons and their position.

      • Select whether and where to Display attempt status, i.e. a summary of the user's attempts. This can display in the Course overview block in the My home page and/or the SCORM entry page. By default this is set to My home and entry page, however if you do not want attempt status to appear on the Course overview, change this to Entry page only.

5. Under Availability, Enable the fields and restrict the package's availability by date and time, if appropriate.

6. Under Grade, select a Grading method, clicking Help icon for assistance. Also select the Maximum grade that can be awarded for the package.

7. Under Attempts management:

      • Select the maximum Number of attempts allowed.

      • Select the method of Attempts grading if you are allowing multiple attempts. The Help icon for this field is very comprehensive.

      • If you select Yes at Force new attempt, each time the student accesses the package, this will be counted as a new attempt.

      • Select Lock after final attempt if you want to prevent the SCORM player launching once the student has used up all their permitted attempts.

8. Under Compatibility settings:

      • Force completed (applicable only to SCORM 1.2 packages)—If you select Yes, the status of the student's current attempt is forced to "completed".

      • If you select Yes at Auto-continue, once one learning object is completed the next will launch automatically. If you select No, users will have to click Continue to move on.

9. Complete the remaining sections as appropriate and click Save and return to course.

10. On the course home page, click the package's link and check that it displays properly.
