What do I have to change to get my 3rd ed content compatible to 4th ed specifiactions?
Does anyone know an abstract of the changes or do I have to compare the whole cam and rte specifications?
Can't find such a document neither at adlnet.org nor searching globaly.
Thx!
Mike Rustici puts it well on http://scorm.com/blog/2009/01/scorm-2004-4th-edition/.
It's more sequence and navigation updates which would effect packaging things more than the development or API interactions.
Thanks,
Mark

I am working on a project that wants me to document the relevant ISO standards and RFCs that apply to the components of the system. One of those components is RHEL, so I need to find a list of the standards that apply. Anybody know who to ask at Red Hat? So far, no luck getting to a customer rep.
Thanks...Pete
My department is planning to switching to using NMT V3 soon, but we will need the dictionary feature (adding glossary and Do-Not-Translate list) for training.
This might have been asked before but I don't see any recent post asking for it, would you be able to advise when this feature will be released? A rough estimation will do (2019 Q1 for example)
Many thanks,
Simon
The dictionary feature should be available in Custom Translator within the next month. Please be sure to follow the Microsoft Translator blog (http://aka.ms/TranslatorBlog) and Twitter (http://aka.ms/TranslatorTwitter) to stay up to date with major Translator releases.
I have the SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004(3rd edition) packages. But, I am looking forward to convert or create a package in SCORM 2004 - 4th edition.
Note: I have the packages in HTML version, not in Flash.
Is there any tool to create or convert the package into SCORM 2004 4th edition?
Please help me!
Thanks!
About SCORM 1.2 to SCORM 2004 - Your looking at namespace changes that will not be a 1:1 conversion. There are libraries that can aid in allowing you to migrate old to new namespaces, but also keep in mind character limits, vocab/states also changed.
I had put together a sample of these differences in a PDF - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3459294/SCOBot-Content-API-Standards-Breakdown.pdf
There is also more information on https://github.com/cybercussion/SCOBot/wiki about some of the scenarios.
SCORM 2004 4th Ed was mainly a Sequence and Navigation update. Some of what changed between SCORM 2004 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions were mainly surrounding the imsmanifest.xml and the packaging of the content. Like describing objectives, flow rules and such.
I would say a large portion of content produced follows the SCORM 1.2 model where it simply performs a "I was here". You might get status, score, and time but a large portion of SCORM 1.2 was optional so you rarely get interactions and objectives.
SCORM 2004 solidified more of it as mandatory so you can take more advantage of these features but if the content is coming from SCORM 1.2 you'd have to add that new capability (most likely).
The various 2004 editions basically just add extra stuff to the manifest - so as you're "upconverting" nothing needs to be done for those ones.
The 1.2 packages will have more changes - both in the manifest and the API addressing code - the API side can probably get changed as simple search & replace (the API name changed, as did the "cmi.*" keys) - the manifest I'm not so sure on the exact changes simply because I've run both from scratch and not had to convert before.
I'm developing Flash module with AS3 now. I need to package it with SCORM 1.2.
I want to track percentage of the user when accessing my flash module. My flash module consist of single file that loads swfs. Let's say I should loads 10 swfs. When the user load 1-5, i hope it tracked as 50%.
Is it possible to do with SCORM 1.2?
I'm fairly familiar with flash but new to SCORM. I've stumble upon the Philip Hutchison's tutorials and several SCORM 1.2 document for from ADL for several days. So far haven't manage a success.
Since SO doesn't allow someone with as little rep as I to comment and ask for clarification, I'm going to have to go by assumption for some of this. The short answer is no. However, it depends what you plan to do with that progress percentage in the end.
If it is to be used in some sort of report or display within an LMS, you'll need to use an official element for just such a thing, and hope your LMS can use it. Unfortunately, SCORM 1.2 won't cut it for you there. In SCORM 2004, however, you can utilize the "cmi.progress_measure" element. See section 4.2.18 in the SCORM 2004 4th Edition RTE specification. Note: It is common to see completion percentage in an LMS related to multi-SCO packages, where the percentage of completed SCO's within a package is displayed - especially in the case of SCORM 1.2.
If the requirement is to simply store the current slide number or total number of slides viewed for the sole purpose of having this percentage value available to the SCO itself, you can simply store and retrieve this value using the "cmi.suspend_data" element in either 1.2 or 2004.
Now, using Flash's ExternalInterface to communicate between Flash and Javascript is a different question entirely. And so is how to utilize the SCORM API once you have the rest in place. Again, I cannot comment to request clarification, so I cannot say for certain what the question is exactly.
Others have said Apple's bug-tracking system only allows you to see bug reports you yourself have filed. (See Can I browse other people's (Apple) bug reports?.)
But I keep seeing comments in various developer forums (such as xcode-users) along the lines of "I'm fairly sure this is a dup of < rdar://problem/7715072>".
How do they know? Does this mean they must have filed that bug report themselves?
And what use are such comments if no one else can see what that bug report says? (I checked, this one is not on OpenRadar http://openradar.appspot.com/.)
In my opinion apple is not sharing the bugs (a) due to security issues and (b) to get the people report bugs even if they are duplicated. In that way the reported bugs with the most reports will jump up in the priority and will eventually be solved faster.
How do they know? Does this mean they must have filed that bug report themselves?
Yes, I think so. If you file a bug which already has been filed before by others, apple will mark your bug being a duplicate and close it with an advice to follow the original bug id.
If the 1st statement is true, and you can't browse someone else's bugs, there are two possibilities:
apple developers can see them
they filled these bugs
