The pipwerks SCORM wrapper examples have been successfully tested in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6.
FYI, the examples’ imsmanifest.xml files required some modifications (the old manifests worked fine in the ADL test suites, but coughed a little when used in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6). The JavaScript, ActionScript and HTML in the examples remain unchanged. If you’ve previously downloaded [...]
