Troubleshooting
Videos Don't Play
- Solution:* Ensure videos are in MP4 format. For large videos, host externally (YouTube, Vimeo) and embed by URL instead of uploading directly.
LMS Doesn't Recognize Package
- Solution:* Try SCORM 1.2 instead of 2004. Ensure ZIP file wasn't modified. Check LMS file size limits.
Progress Not Tracking
- Solution:* Verify completion criteria settings. Check LMS tracking configuration. Test with SCORM Cloud to isolate issues.
Package Too Large
- Solution:* Compress images, host large videos externally, split into multiple smaller packages, or use HTML package with external hosting.
