    Which Cp SCORM setting populates typicallearningtime with data?

    RodWard CommunityMVP

      Does anyone know which Captivate SCORM setting will result in populating the typicallearningtime field in the imsmanifest.xml file?

       

      This property is found in the imsmanifest.xml file for SCORM 1.2 output as follows:

      <educational>
          <typicallearningtime>
           <datetime>::</datetime>
          </typicallearningtime>
         </educational>

       

      Note that the <datetime>::</datetime> property contains no valid data.

       

      This particular property causes the SCORM package to fail in some LMSs and SCORM tests.  It triggers a warning message in SCORM Cloud.

       

      I've tried a few variations in the CP5 SCORM settings but don't seem to be able to get anything to populate this field at all, let alone give it valid data that will satisfy the tests.

       

      So what gives?  I find only a couple of posts on this issue in the forums but they go back to 2007 or more.  If this field isn't populated with meaningful data, and it's causing problems, why is it still there?
