I am looking for some samples on SCORM. I am in the midst of evaluating ATutor for a particular project that we are embarking on.
Is there any samples on the imsmanifest.xml and the javascript in the HTML files that calls the APIs in ATutor

Jason

You can enter one of the demo courses and click Export to generate a content package. The Howto course is also available in content packages.
There is no support for a SCORM RTE in ATutor (yet), so you will not find any working javascript examples. We can not support embedded Javascript in SCOs for accessibility reasons. We are working with ADL to try to correct this flaw in the SCORM specification.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply
It seems like there is error in the package that was downloaded. I went into ATutor demo and export a content. The ZIP file however has errors when unzipping it, and we could not see the content as well.
What we are looking is a sample imsmanifest.xml file and also the HTML file that is calling the APIs in the ATutor ... since ATutor claims it is SCORM 1.2 compliant.
We just want to try import a simple content package that has the following files
imsmanifest.xml
index.html
lesson1.html
lesson2.html
image/image1.gif
image/image2.gif
We will zip all the working files and use the ATutor import to put inside the courses.
If you are able to help, could you provide a sample of the files above.
Thanks.

Exported packages from the demo site seem to work as they should. I had not trouble unzipping any packages. Perhaps it is your zip utility.
Do not confuse compliance, with conformance. ATutor can not comply with SCORM for reasons I've mentioned. It "conforms" with the SCORM/IMS content packaging specification.
Once you figure out why your zip utility is not unpacking the files, there is an imsmanifest.xml file in each package. Try another zip utility if necessary. I've confirmed that packages unzip with the current Winzip and Ark (linux zip utility)
Here's an imsmanifest for a simple 1 page package. Note that the formatting of the XML is messed up a little by the way the forum displays it. A real manifest file is layed out properly
