Launching Labs Using SCORM

This document details the steps necessary to enable, download and launch Skillable labs using the Lab Profile specific SCORM Packaged Lab Launcher package.

In order to view the Download SCORM link from the Lab Details page you will have to have the appropriate permissions associated with your Studio User account.

Contact your account executive or submit a ticket with our customer support team to request the SCORM Manager user role be added to your LOD User account.

This user role will display the Download SCORM link on the Lab Profile details page

API Consumer Configuration

Once you have the appropriate User Permission assigned to your account you will need to have an API Consumer configured. The API Consumer will be used to enable SCORM package creation and download from the Lab Profile details page and is required to secure the communications between the remote application and the Skillable Lab.

In order to set up your API Consumer you will have to contact your account executive or submit a ticket with our customer support team to request that an API Consumer be created and configured for SCORM Packaged Lab Launches.

You can also request a list of LMS Origin Domain URLs to be added to the API Consumer.  This will restrict Lab Launches via the SCORM package to only the domains whitelisted in the API Consumer. This list of domains can be added to when downloading the SCORM Package via the Lab Profile details page.

Download SCORM Package - GUI

Once the proper user permission has been granted and an API Consumer has been configured, the SCORM Package can be downloaded directly from the Lab Profile details page. The following are the steps necessary to download the SCORM Packaged Lab Launch Package.

Prerequisites

• A User account that has the SCORM Manager role selected.

• The required Lab Profile must be part of a Lab Series that uses an API Consumer with a SCORM API Key  enabled.

• As with the launching of any production lab, the Lab Profile must be in a Complete status and have been launched at least once.

Directions

1. To display the SCORM Package download request form, navigate to the desired Lab Profile details page and select the Download SCORM Package link.

   If the Download SCORM Package link is not displayed the one of the prerequisite conditions has not been met.

2. Only a single API Consumer can be selected for the SCORM Package but multiple API Consumers can be configured for a Lab Series. Select the appropriate API Consumer for this SCORM Package request.

3. Since a SCORM Package can only be configured to target a specific Instruction Set select the appropriate Instruction Set and Language from the Instruction Set field.

4. Optional: Add any specific LMS Origin URLs to the LMS Origin Domain(s) to open the SCORM Package to a URL domain not included in the API Consumer configuration. Note that this text field is exact match only, and does not support wildcard characters.

5. Once all fields are properly populated you can select the Download button to initiate the SCORM Package creation which will download the final file as requested.

6. Add the SCORM package to your LMS or SCORM enabled application to provide direct Skillable Lab launch integration for your users.

   

Integrate Your SCORM Package

Once you have downloaded your SCORM Packaged Lab Launch Package you will need to integrate it with your Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Experience Platform (LXP) or other SCORM enabled application. You should refer to your specific application's documentation for instructions on how to properly integrate SCORM modules.

Launch Labs

Now that you have downloaded and integrated the SCORM Packaged Lab Launch Package into your application it is ready to launch the requested Skillable Lab.

Once a user selects the SCORM module from the course, assignment or other application container they will be presented with a Lab Launch window.  This window will automatically launch the lab within 3 seconds and remain open in the background while the lab is in progress.

After the user has completed and closed the Skillable Lab the Lab Launch Window will obtain the status and score from the completed lab. At this point the originating application will be updated and the Lab Launch window will automatically close within 3 seconds.
