How can I export content from JollyDeck as SCORM?

Any content created in JollyDeck can be exported as a SCORM package.

There are 2 main SCORM modalities available:

  1. Heavy-weight SCORM, and
  2. Live SCORM (recommended)

The live SCORM, with its many benefits, comes as a small sized package (less than 10kb).
Both live and heavy-weight SCORM comes in versions 1.2 or 2004.

  1. Open your course in the Editor

After saving your settings, you can export your SCORM package:

By default, your slides will be exported as a Learning course.

Export questions (tests) as SCORM:

Questions can be exported as a Test. When you start with your question bank in the Editor, the Export settings will select your questions as the first content item:

You can set your preferences for duration, pass rate, amount of attempts allowed to each learning, as well as adding specific instructions which appear before the start of the quiz.

Adjusting test settings:

  1. Number of questions in the test: Specify how many questions to include. Learners will get a different set of randomly selected questions each time they take the test. Alternatively, include all questions in the exact order as in your question bank.
  2. Test pass-rate: Set the percentage of correct answers required to pass.
  3. Maximum number of attempts: Specify the number of attempts a learner has before the test is marked as incomplete, or leave it unlimited.
