About the Player
The SCORM Cloud player quickly and easily adds SCORM to a Sakai installation. It gives you compatibility with SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2 and AICC in about five minutes by adding a new Resource Type to your system with obvious gradebook integration as a bonus feature. Recently added as a feature of SCORM Cloud is a new reporting tool that lets you dig deep to see what your users are doing within a course.
Courses installed with the SCORM Cloud player are hosted in the cloud, ready to be called whenever you need them. There are monthly charges for hosting, but a free trial account is available so you can play with SCORM Cloud to see how it works with your courses and system. Trial is based on number of registrations, so you can technically run a trial forever. (OK, a while. There are limits.) And now you can even play with SCORM Cloud prior to integration. Just upload your course, then send out a link to a learner/student (or yourself); click the link, launch the course, see SCORM Cloud in action!
Currently available for versions 2.5.x and 2.6.x.
Always happy to answer any questions about SCORM Cloud here or over in our support forum.

Configuration
Once you've
...
added
...
the
...
plugin
...
to
...
a
...
particular
...
site,
...
there
...
are
...
two
...
main
...
steps
...
to
...
configure
...
it.
...
The
...
first
...
is
...
ensuring
...
that
...
the
...
right
...
Sakai
...
roles
...
have
...
the
...
correct
...
permissions
...
for
...
using
...
the
...
plugin,
...
and
...
the
...
second
...
is
...
entering
...
the
...
some
...
information
...
related
...
to
...
the
...
SCORM
...
Cloud
...
service.
...
Setting
...
permissions
...
for
...
various
...
tools
...
is
...
a
...
typical
...
Sakai
...
administration
...
task,
...
and
...
the
...
permissions
...
associated
...
with
...
the
...
SCORM
...
Cloud
...
plugin
...
are
...
no
...
different,
...
so
...
we
...
won't
...
go
...
into
...
detail
...
about
...
how
...
to
...
set
...
permissions,
...
but
...
we'll
...
instead
...
note
...
the
...
permissions
...
that
...
are
...
unique
...
to
...
the
...
plugin
...
below.
...
- scormcloud.admin
...
- :
...
- Any
...
- role
...
- with
...
- this
...
- security
...
- permission
...
- will
...
- be
...
- allowed
...
- to
...
- do
...
- nearly
...
- any
...
- activity
...
- with
...
- the
...
- plugin,
...
- such
...
- as
...
- creating,
...
- configuring,
...
- previewing,
...
- and
...
- deleting
...
- SCORM
...
- resources,
...
- as
...
- well
...
- as
...
- viewing
...
- and
...
- utilizing
...
- the
...
- interface
...
- found
...
- in
...
- the
...
- SCORM
...
- Cloud
...
- tool
...
- that
...
- will
...
- be
...
- linked
...
- to
...
- from
...
- the
...
- tool
...
- menu
...
- after
...
- installation.
...
- This
...
- role
...
- is
...
- intended
...
- for
...
- only
...
- site
...
- administrators
...
- (teachers
...
- and
...
- teacher
...
- assistants).
...
- scormcloud.configure
...
- :
...
- This
...
- is
...
- essentially
...
- the
...
- one
...
- separate
...
- permission
...
- from
...
- those
...
- granted
...
- by
...
- scormcloud.admin
...
- listed
...
- above.
...
- This
...
- permission
...
- must
...
- be
...
- granted
...
- in
...
- order
...
- to
...
- view
...
- and
...
- update
...
- the
...
- credentials
...
- used
...
- for
...
- the
...
- SCORM
...
- Cloud
...
- service.
...
- Typically,
...
- if
...
- those
...
- credentials
...
- will
...
- be
...
- installation-wide
...
- (used
...
- for
...
- all
...
- sites),
...
- a
...
- Sakai
...
- administrator
...
- will
...
- set
...
- them
...
- after
...
- installation
...
- and
...
- will
...
- have
...
- no
...
- need
...
- to
...
- grant
...
- this
...
- permission
...
- to
...
- any
...
- role.
...
- However,
...
- if
...
- credentials
...
- will
...
- be
...
- site-specific
...
- and
...
- not
...
- installation
...
- wide,
...
- an
...
- administrator
...
- will
...
- need
...
- to
...
- grant
...
- this
...
- permission
...
- to
...
- whatever
...
- role
...
- should
...
- be
...
- allowed
...
- to
...
- set
...
- those
...
- credentials
...
- for
...
- a
...
- given
...
- site.
