SCORM and Essay questions

Do you use a SCORM 1.2 based LMS with Articulate Quizmaker content and wonder why your LMS is truncating the responses to essay questions to only 255 characters?

The issue is actually that the SCORM 1.2 standard only allows questions repsonses to be up to 255 characters.

If you have worked with Learning Management Systems and content authoring tools such as Articulate Presenter, Quizmaker, and Captivate you might have run into issues with your content integrating with the Learning Management System . Often times finger pointing will happen between the Learning Management System and the authoring tool. The LMS company will say it is a problem with the content, then the authoring tool vendor will tell you it is a problem with the LMS, but very seldom do people ever point the finger at the actual standard as the culprit.

The more you find out about the SCORM 1.2 standard the more you begin to realize how inflexible it really is.

Note: The finger pointing I am reffering to is mainly from my experience at Adobe/Macromedia. Finger pointing doesn't happen at Articulate :-)
