[ARCHIVED] SCORM and Assignments

[lindenbl]

Hello - looking for guidance!

We have built assignments/activities in Storyline 3, and imported into Canvas using SCORM, as a graded assignment. We need to make an edit to the Storyline files (of course... never fails).

The course is a live asynchronous course with rolling enrollments; and some students have already completed the assignment. Can anyone suggest a best practice? If I delete the assignment and replace with a new one, I lose the data/scores from students who have completed it. My thought was to navigate to Assignments > Edit Assignment Settings, and replace the link to the external tool...in the hopes to keep all the Assignment specific configurations in tact, but just replacing the 'SCORM' content within the assignment. 

Any guidance???

Thank you!

Hi Beth Linden,

I think your instincts are right on this one, that replacing the link should maybe be all you need to do.

Pop into your test.instructure.com instance and try it out there so you don't mess with real live students.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out,
Cheers - Shar

Hi Beth and Shar, 

When you change out the Storyline content, don't you need to first add the new SCORM package (zip file) to Canvas?  Then, you can set the assignment type and edit the assignment settings.  

Therefore, how would simply changing the External Tool URL get around this?  Maybe I'm missing something, but when I need to update Storyline content, I usually update the SCORM package first - unless you're simply pointing to an external URL where the content is hosted.  

So is this a shortcut that works?  Beth, let us know if that works for you!

Best,

Michael
