We support HTML5 presentations for organizations that subscribe to our Standard plan
To upload a file of this type, please contact our support team as HTML5 lessons need to be upload by our team.
All we will need is your zip file and for you to make sure the file size does not exceed the 200MB limit for Standard Plan Subscribers
Background
SCORM is a great standard but it was not compatible with Workhub. We've developed an alternative to make these files more compatible with Workhub through a timer for these type of files. The key difference between the two are that we don't utilize quiz tracking from within the course.
If your SCORM course contains a quiz within the course, the quiz questions will need to be removed from the course and added into our quiz builder. At the end of the lesson, the quiz will be opened and the course will not be marked as complete until the worker has a passing grade.
What's great about this is that you as the administrator for your company can change or add questions at any time and you get a running tally of quiz difficulty. This allows you to make changes on the fly without talking to a content person.
Why move the quiz questions outside of the SCORM lesson?
To be able to use SCORM courses, Workhub implemented a timer for some course types. This means that the lesson wont need triggers inside the course content to activate the quiz. That being said, the completion of the course wont be affected by the quiz answers or final score, it will be affected by the timer. Which means that a lesson will be marked as completed after the time ends, not after finishing with the quiz. However, in Workhub lessons are marked as completed after passing the quiz.
If you are struggling with triggers but you need them, please reach out to us for help. We have an Articulate template we can share that has the start and end triggers. All you need to do is add your slides between them.
SCORM Template is only Available to our Standard Plan Subscribers
Before you Begin
If you previously have courses done in SCORM it should be as simple as opening the master files and exporting the course into HTML5 instead of SCORM. The most popular course authoring tools are Captivate and Articulate Storyline and we'll cover them below.
If you're building a new HTML5 course it's good to know the organizational structure that we recommend for courses.
It goes something like this:
Main Topic
Section 1
Topic 1
Topic 2
Section 2
Topic 1
Topic 2
Section 3
Topic 1
Topic 2
Workhub will name these the Course Name > Lesson > Lesson Topic. We do not recommend creating lessons over 15 minutes long, as longer lessons are more difficult for viewers to remember.
Articulate Storyline - Adding Workhub Code into your Project
For your project, you will need to add a trigger on the first slide when the timeline starts:
The javascript that is executed is:
parent.startLesson()
This will log an attempt in the worker's activity history letting you know that they started watching the lesson.
Next add a trigger on your last slide when the timeline starts with the following javascript:
parent.completeLesson()
This tells our server to enable the quiz for the worker(normally the quiz is disabled until the training content has been viewed.)
Lastly, on the timeline end of the last slide add a trigger that executes the following javascript:
parent.closeLesson()
This sends the worker back to the course details page where the quiz is available so it's important that this is the last thing that happens in your lesson. You could also add this to a button that says "Complete Lesson" if you want the worker to return at their leisure.
Adobe Captivate - Adding Workhub Code into your Project
The same javascript is applied but in Captivate they call them Actions instead of triggers.
