LMSReel - video into trackable course packages

Where the video comes from

Drop a video here, or

MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays everywhere. The file is copied into the package, so keep it under roughly 500 MB if your LMS has an upload cap.

Captions

WebVTT or SubRip files. SubRip is converted when you add it. Captions are drawn by the player, so they look the same on uploaded and YouTube video.

What the connection badge calls your LMS

Shows as “Connected to Acme Learning” instead of the SCORM version number. Leave blank for a plain “Connected”. Also fills in the {{lms}} wording tag.

On by default - good for reference videos or recaps that don’t need to be watched start to finish. Turn it off, or use the completion threshold on the Tracking step, for content where watching matters.

Custom CSS

Added last, so it overrides everything. Class names begin lr-.

What the LMS records

Standards to build

Tick more than one and you get one zip per standard. Moodle, Blackboard and Canvas all take SCORM 1.2 - pick that if you are not sure.

Completion needs of the video watched

Only seconds actually played count, and each second counts once. Dragging to the end cannot complete the course.

Resume where the learner stopped Ask before resuming Stop learners skipping ahead Send percentage watched as a score Mark as passed, not just completed Pause when the tab loses focus Log every LMS call to the console

Save to the LMS every seconds Minimum watch time before completing seconds

xAPI and cmi5 settings

Activity ID Fallback LRS endpoint optional

Leave the endpoint empty for normal launches - the LMS passes it in the launch link. Fill it in only when the package is opened directly from a web server.

Advanced

Package identifier optional

Identifies this course inside the SCORM manifest. Most LMSs use it to recognise a re-uploaded package as an update to the same course rather than a new one - so once a course is live somewhere, avoid changing this unless you mean to replace it with an unrelated one. Leave blank and LMSReel generates a stable one the first time you build.

Questions in the video

Scrub to a moment, add a question there. The video pauses for the learner, asks it, marks it right or wrong, and carries on. Every answer is reported to the LMS as a standard interaction record.

Add a video on step 1 to start placing questions.

No questions yet. Play the video above and add one where it matters.

Scoring and completion

Blend question accuracy into the reported score Learner must answer every required question to complete the course

Watch-time completion works exactly as before either way. These are additive - off by default, and safe to leave off if you just want the questions recorded without changing how the course completes.

Wording around the video

Basic HTML is allowed. Click a field, then a tag below to drop in a value the LMS supplies at run time.
