Reducing file sizes of SCORM 1.2 .zip files
I just exported my Rise360 course to a SCORM 1.2 .zip file. The final compressed size of the file was over 30 MB. My LMS (Moodle) will only allow uploads less than 20 MB. I already have all of my me...
Hi Cindy,
The biggest culprit in SCORM ZIP file bloat are video files.
It appears that scenario blocks significantly contribute to the overall output size of your SCORM files. For instance, if you include three-character poses in a scenario block, the final output will contain ALL poses, whether they are used or not. These character images are typically high-definition and can be as large as 1MB, so having 25 poses could result in an additional 30MB. This becomes especially problematic if your course includes multiple scenario blocks, as it can quickly accumulate in size.
The workaround, I believe, is to go into the scormcontent/assets folder in the .zip file and delete the unused poses.
Hi Joe,
I'm aware of the impact of scenario files, and for this reason we do not use them,
