Hi Community!

We have a SCORM file that is too big and it is exceeding the LMS's allowed size. We tried reducing the size of the images inside the course, but the course was still too big. Any advice on how the reduce the size of the SCORM file itself ?

Thank you for the help:)

I find most SCORM packages to be about 250MB-1GB where the larger end has significantly large video files. I think the upper limit for SF LMS is 2GB but only due to akamai limitations after all persisting that much data to an end user will likely give poor experiences to them based on their network limitations & personal hardware to stream such large data. In this example it is better to work on reducing the large video formats (e.g. unless presenting in a large projection suite in an auditorium maybe don't have a HD video). A good website will suggest the following to review: resolution, bitrate, framerate, & codec compression all which will reduce video files size and still keep it quality for most end user devices. Other than resource file size, there is also naming convention sizes but that should be easy enough to reduce.

We use the max size in the config that can be uploaded.

Configuation / LMS_ADMIN

# fileUploadMaxSize is the maximum size in bytes for files uploaded to the server. It can be between 0 and 2147483647(2 GB). Default 10485760 bytes (10Mb)

fileUploadMaxSize=2147483647

If we need to exceed the 2gb size, you can remove the content folders from the zip file and upload just the scorm xml files. After the upload is complete, FTP into the content share, find your folder and upload the files/folders you removed.

Compress any audio and video too!

Do you have multiple SCOs in the lesson, if so, maybe make them separate SCORM files.

It might help to know what software you are using to create your SCORM file. I would look on the compay's site/forum for more tips and help. I know Captivate adds tons of files, like UI images and language versions that may not be used in the actual lesson. You would need to do a lot of testing to make sure any files you remove are not needed.

If you are using iContent, you could also try uploading the file straight to there using a SFTP client.

Hi,

Another easy alternative method is

a) directly upload the content folder into content server and

b) create a content object in in the Launch Method -> In Content URL give the path of the folder


This way no need to worry about scorm content package file size.

Thanks
