Limitations

Please note the following limitations when using SCORM 1.2 lessons:

• Analytic graphs and certificates: Features like analytic graphs and certificates may not function as expected.
• Nested folders: SCORM packages with nested folders containing an Index.html file may not launch correctly. We only support the launch of SCORM packages at the root level.
• Progress tracking: SCORM 1.2 does not provide detailed progress tracking, so tracking of lesson progress and reporting in the Academy is limited.
