Definition of Fields
| Resource Type | Select 'File' if a file is to be uploaded Select 'Link' if an external link is to be used |
|---|---|
| Resource Name | Enter the Resource name |
| Upload | If the resource type is a file, click 'Upload' In order to be a SCORM presentation, the file uploaded must be a .zip file For more information on file types to upload, see the 'Resource Material' section on this page in the User Guide. |
| Link Address | If the resource type is a file, copy and paste the URL |
| Description | Enter a description or instructions relevant to the individual resource, such as 'read the full document then return to this page to complete the assessment.' |
| Display in Popover | Tick to enable the resource to open in an 'popover' window i.e. it sits in front of the course navigation screen This is the recommended setting, however not all content will support this approach. |
| Time Delay (seconds) | Enter time delay in seconds The time delay inserts a pause before the user can progress to the next step in the module (next resources or assessment). In other words, setting a time delay will prevent an user from closing the resource before completing it. The close button is disabled until the time delay is reached. If the resource is not SCORM, depending upon the number and length of the slides/ presentation format, it is recommended to set the time delay for at least 2 minutes. |

The technical definition for SCORM is: Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), a collection of standards and specifications for web-based electronic educational technology. It defines communications between client side content and a host system, which is commonly supported by a learning management system. It allows the presentation to incorporate several features and permits information to be passed from the presentation to Lucidity. In laymen's terms, this means that eLearning that is a SCORM presentation (in the form of a .zip file) can be tracked by Lucidity Software to determine if the user has opened every page of the presentation. It also bookmarks presentations, allowing users to view half a presentation and return to where they left off at a later date. If a plain PowerPoint file, for example, is used as a resource, it will download for the user and the system has no way of knowing if the user has opened the file and viewed each page. Therefore, the module is marked as complete immediately, even if the user hasn't opened it at all. However, if the PowerPoint is converted to a SCORM file, the system will only mark the module as complete when every page of the PowerPoint has been opened. Therefore, it is recommended that all resources are SCORM where possible. |
There are a number of software packages used to create SCORM and HTML5 presentations. Important settings include:
