The SCORM Package Everyone Thinks Works... But Doesn't

You export from Storyline. It plays in your LMS. Success, right?

Wrong.

Here's what I check on EVERY SCORM package before calling it "done":

→ Completion criteria (based on slides viewed or quiz passed?)

→ Score tracking (does it pass the right value?)

→ Resume behavior (does it actually resume, or restart?)

→ Launch settings (new window parameters set correctly?)

→ Communication logs (what's actually being sent to the LMS?)

The number of "working" courses I've debugged because they didn't truly work is staggering.

Test in your target LMS. With real user accounts. Before launch day.

Your compliance reports will thank you.

From 10% Course Completion to 87% in 90 Days

True story from my time managing enterprise learning systems:

The problem? Required training was being ignored. Leadership was frustrated. Compliance was at risk.

We didn't add more reminders. We didn't mandate it harder.

We did this:

1️⃣ Analyzed WHERE learners were dropping off

2️⃣ Interviewed 20 employees about their actual workflow

3️⃣ Redesigned delivery for mobile-first access

4️⃣ Chunked content into workflow-integrated moments

5️⃣ Removed every unnecessary click

The content barely changed. The delivery changed everything.

Sometimes the problem isn't engagement. It's friction.

AI in EdTech: What's Actually Working vs. What's Hype

After 90 days of testing AI tools in learning technology, here's my honest assessment:

Working well:

• Content outlining and ideation

• Accessibility improvements (alt text, transcripts)

• Personalized learning path suggestions

• Administrative task automation

Still overhyped:

• Full course generation (quality is inconsistent)

• Replacing instructional designers (not even close)

• Assessment creation (requires heavy human oversight)

The sweet spot? AI as your co-pilot, not your autopilot.

It amplifies good instructional design. It doesn't replace it.

What AI tools are you actually using in your L&D work?

The Real Cost of a Poor LMS Migration

After managing LMS implementations across 5,000+ learners in multiple countries, I've seen organizations make the same critical mistake: focusing on the technology instead of the learners.

Here's what actually matters:

✅ Data integrity mapping (not just "can we export?")

✅ User adoption strategy (before launch, not after)

✅ Content compatibility testing (every. single. SCORM package.)

✅ Communication cadence (over-inform, then inform again)

The technical migration is 30% of the work. The change management is where success lives.
