Configure SCORM output preset

After the preset is created, configure the SCORM preset settings. The preset configuration options are organized under General, Content, Learner experience and Publish tabs.

  • General: Used to specify basic output settings, such as the supported version, output path, SCORM file name (zip), output template, and Post Generation Workflow for a new Post Generation Workflow drop-down list containing all workflows configured.

  • Content: Use to specify the available conditional filtering (using DITAVAL or using some condition preset) and the variable set.

    {width="650"}

  • Learner Experience: The Learner Experience tab lets you configure how learners interact with and navigate through the SCORM output. Settings are organized under General, Navigation, and Quiz, allowing you to control content accessibility, navigation flow, and quiz behavior for a tailored learning experience.

    • General: Configure output-level options such as enabling PDF downloads for learners.

      • Allow learners to download course PDF: When enabled, this option adds a PDF icon to the SCORM output. Clicking this icon lets the learner download a PDF version of the course content directly from the published output.

        Prerequisites: Before enabling this option, ensure the following:

        • The Output template must be configured with the Embed PDF icon at the desired location and the same template should be selected under the Output template option in the General tab while configuring a SCORM Preset.

        • The associated Native PDF preset must have been generated at least once. Selecting an ungenerated PDF preset will result in an error prompting the user to publish the preset.

      Once the SCORM output is generated with the above settings, the resulting output includes a PDF icon, as shown below, allowing learners to download the course PDF.

    • Navigation: Define how learners move through the course, including sequential progression, mandatory completion conditions, and rules for unlocking the Next button.

      • Learners must progress through content in a sequential order: Ensures learners move through the course in a fixed sequence and cannot skip ahead or jump between course components.

      • Disable next button if learner fails the quiz: Blocks the learner from moving to the next section/page until they pass the quiz.

      • Learners must attempt every question to proceed: Requires learners to attempt all questions before they can submit the quiz, preventing incomplete submissions.

      • Lock progress until complete: Prevents the navigation through the course until all of the configured sub-conditions below it are satisfied by disabling the Next button in the course.

        • All interactive elements opened: Requires the learner to open every interactive element on the page.
        • All media watched: Requires the learner to watch all video/audio media on the page.
        • All knowledge checks attempted: Requires the learner to attempt every knowledge-check question on the page.
        • Minimum time spent on page: Requires the learner to stay on the page for at least the specified duration before Next button is enabled. Once enabled, you need to enter the time required as mentioned below.
          • Time required (seconds): The minimum number of seconds (e.g., 30) a learner must remain on the page for this condition to be met.
    • Quiz: Configure quiz-related behavior such as randomizing question order and answer choices to reduce predictability across attempts.

      • Randomize question order for each attempt: Displays quiz questions in a different order for every attempt, helping reduce predictability.
      • Randomize answer choices for each attempt: Shuffles the answer options for each question on every attempt, reducing the chance of guessing.
    • Reporting: Use these settings to control when the course’s completion and pass/fail status are published to Adobe Learning Manager (ALM).

      Reporting settings

      • Course completion: Defines when the course is marked complete and published to ALM.

        • Mark the course complete on launch: Marks the course complete for the learner as soon as it’s launched. The learner isn’t required to interact with any content. This option is rarely needed but is available if your workflow requires it.

        • Based on topics completed: Marks the course complete once the learner reaches a specified percentage or number of completed topics. Choose whichever unit; percentage or number, fits how you want to define the completion threshold.

        • Based on the graded quiz: Marks the course complete based on the learner’s quiz status, selected from the dropdown:

          • Graded quiz attempted
          • Graded quiz passed
          • Graded quiz passed or attempt limit reached

        When both Based on topics completed and Based on the graded quiz are enabled, use the AND/OR selector to define how the two conditions combine:

        • AND: Both conditions must be true.
        • OR: Either condition being true is enough.
      • Course pass or fail: Defines when a pass or fail status is published to ALM. Reporting a pass or fail status is optional.

        • Report a pass or fail status to LMS: Diable this if you don’t want pass/fail status published to ALM. When disabled, the remaining options in this group are hidden.

        • Mark the course passed on launch: Marks the course passed for the learner as soon as it’s launched.

        • Based on topics completed: Marks the course complete once the learner reaches a specified percentage or number of completed topics. Choose whichever unit; percentage or number, fits how you want to define the completion threshold.

        • Based on the graded quiz: Marks the course pass or fail based on the learner’s quiz status, selected from the dropdown

          • Graded quiz attempted
          • Graded quiz passed

        When both Based on topics completed and Based on the graded quiz are enabled, use the AND/OR selector to combine them, as described above.

      note
      NOTE
      By default, these settings match the previous behavior: completion at 100% of topics completed, and pass based on both the graded quiz being passed and 100% topics completed. This applies to both new and existing SCORM presets, so nothing changes for existing courses unless you reconfigure these settings.
  • Publish to LMS: Use this setting to publish your content directly to Adobe Learning Manager (ALM). From the Publish server dropdown, select Adobe Learning Manager, and then choose the required Publish profile that was previously configured in Workspace settings. The selected profile is used to establish the connection and upload the generated content to ALM.

    note
    NOTE
    Before publishing content to ALM, you must configure an Adobe Learning Manager publish profile. For details, view Publish profiles.

Once all the changes are configured, save the changes for the SCORM preset using Save on the right corner of the toolbar of the SCORM preset page.
