Publishing to SCORM 2004 4th Edition

Hi Everyone,

I have a customer trying to upload one of our SCORM 2004 courses published from Lectora 17, but they are receiving this error:

You are trying to import an SCORM 2004 3rd Edition (v. 1.3.3) content package. This version is not currently supported, and the content may experience problems at run-time.

They've advised me that their LMS (SuccessFactors) requires SCORM 2004 4th edition.

There's no way to select a version on publish from what I can see - has anyone else managed to be able to do this? Is there a way to manually edit the manifest XML file to make my course 4th edition compliant?

Thanks!

My company also uses Success Factors. We typically publish as SCORM 1.2, which works fine. I had issues with Lectora compatibility with a previous edition of SF and AICC, so you have my sympathy.

Hello v01d,

Unfortunately neither Lectora Desktop (any version released) nor Lectora Online supports

SCORM 2004 4th Edition. If you edit the manifest you do so at your own risk, (I would suggest not)

A quick search on the SAP help site, I found that SuccessFactors supports AICC, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 2nd Edition & 4th Edition.

So I guess your best bet publishing out of Lectora using SCORM 1.2

Thanks @carlfink and @nmaharaj - this is great to know!

I've provided them with 1.2 packages to try. Thanks again!

Is this still the case with Trivantis since 2022? I have a military client which mandates SCORM 2004 4th Edition for SCO submissions to their LMS. Just trying to confirm a yea/nah for my process moving forward.
