Re: [elearning tech & dev] Basic Setup of Pipwerk's scorm-api-wrapper

[Philip Hutchison]

Hi Dudley

I've actually written up a book explaining all of this stuff, including progressively complex examples... I just haven't gotten around to releasing it. I'm 7/8 done with it. Just need to get over the hump. :)

My site also has some tutorials and examples (though a bit old). Unfortunately my site is down right now due to an unexpected server migration but hopefully I will get it back online soon.

Hello everyone.

I'm wondering if someone could help me with the very basics of setting up the Pipwerk's SCORM wrapper?

I'm a website designer and I've recently been asked to wrap one of my sites with SCROM code so it can be used with an LMS (in this case, SCORM Cloud). I like to code everything by hand without using authoring tools and so I'd really like to be able to implement a simple SCORM wrapper myself and understand it.

What's the leanest way of getting started? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I've done so far:

• Created an "imsmanifest.xml" - which is valid according to SCORM Cloud.
• Attached Philip Hutchison's SCORM wrapper v1.1.7 to the head of the page.
• Created another js file called "scorm_functions.js" and attached it to the head also.
• I'm using jQuery too.

I want to connect to the LMS and popup the name of the learner - a very simple beginning that I can hopefully build from. Here's my score_functions.js code to initialise the SCORM wrapper and alert the learner's name:

$(document).ready(function () {

    var scorm_wrapper = pipwerks.SCORM;

    scorm_wrapper.init();

    var name = scorm_wrapper.get('cmi.core.student_name');

    alert("Hello " + name + "!");

});

Once I've uploaded this project to SCORM Cloud, I run it. It tells me "Hello null!". If I check the console, it lets me know, "SCORM.data.get(cmi.core.student_name) failed: API connection is inactive".

I've searched around for some basic fundamentals on this before I move onto anything more complex - but I'm stuck!

Let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks.
