Hello everyone, good morning, I hope you are well. I am looking for a manual or someone who can explain to me how to install SCORM in Sakai. I already have the files generated according to the github repository. However, I can't find the "impl" it only generates jar. But I don't know exactly what to do with those Jars. I would like you to support me, I remain attentive. I attach the list of jars and the war package that I currently have. Greetings, a hug.

are you compiling scorm separately from the sakai code?  maybe you could just copy the scorm-tool-19.3.war to your sakai's tomcat/webapps/ folder?  not sure about scorm-pack-19.3-war.  We don't have that in our webapps (should it?)

for our install, we add contrib tools to our sakai code (using git subtree, which probably isn't optimal), add them to the main pom.xml, and compile them all together with the sakai modules.

also note that the example packages from scorm.com don't work well.  Shawn F. suggested these work better:  https://adlnet.gov/projects/scorm-2004-3rd-edition/

I can see in your screenshot that it generated two WAR files: scorm-
pack-19.3.war, scorm-tool-19.3.war.

To deploy the tool you just perform the same commands you would for
building and deploying the rest of Sakai: mvn clean install
sakai:deploy

Hope this helps,

I know this is super old but I still think that Sakai needs to
incorporate a SCORM player, I have this recurrent requirement in every
single instance, I don't like it but some companies still deliver
courses in the SCORM standard, and Scorm Cloud is kinda expensive for
those cases.

Anyway, I installed the scorm player in a 20.x instance recently and I
just did what Bryan said.

I agree with Miguel. We get SCORM questions all the time. I just got one today! Even though the SCORM standard is old, it keeps resurfacing because many authoring tools like Articulate, Captivate, etc. still use it. It would be really nice to have support for SCORM in core Sakai without having to install SCORM Player as a separate Contrib tool.

We've recently incorporated the SCORM contrib tool into our instance (Sakai 21) and our use will continue to grow. I'm currently working on adding a Scorm Package entity to Lessons to make them selectable from the contrib tool similar to Assignments. Has anyone else already built this? Ideally, we'll add the ability to use them as pre-reqs in Lessons, etc. It would be simpler to share this Lessons work with the community if the contrib tool was included in core Sakai.

No but it's an important feature and a must-have, super similar to other open source products where you can embed a scorm content like an assignment or assessment.

I'd also like to do some cosmetic upgrades to the contrib tool...drag and drop, better management of ZIP files, more clear stats, you know......

Austin is correct about the war file.  Typical build of a contrib tool works similar to rebuilding library war for a new skin.  This should generate a new war file and copy to your tomcat web apps folder.

That said. I have built scorm tool before and noticed may also copy needed jars to tomcat components folder.  Recommend when building a tool as standalone always check tomcat webapps, lib and component folders for new jars deployed by build.

As Austin reported, I also had problems with stcorm tool and playing example scorm files.
