Lessonbay SCORM Player for LearnDash

Description

Attach a Storyline or SCORM 1.2 package to a LearnDash Topic, and learners launch it from the topic page in a player that runs inside your site. Results come back from the package and are stored against the learner’s attempt.

What the plugin does:

• Upload, replace and manage a package from the LearnDash Topic editor
• Validate and extract the ZIP, and harden the extracted files against direct execution
• Launch the package in a tokenised player, checked against LearnDash access rules on every launch
• Record what the package reports: score, completion status and pass or fail, exactly as sent
• Save suspend data so a learner can resume an interrupted attempt where they left off
• Show learners their attempt status, attempt count and activity on the topic page
• Give administrators a report grouped by learner and topic, with the best score for each
• Let learners complete a topic with the standard LearnDash “Mark complete” button

Completion stays in the learner’s hands: this plugin records results and leaves the LearnDash button in place. Automatic topic completion, completion rules, attempt limits and detailed reporting are in a separate Pro add-on distributed from our own site.

Pro add-on

Lessonbay SCORM Player Pro is a separate, paid add-on. It is not needed to use this plugin, and nothing here is locked without it. It adds:

• Automatic LearnDash topic completion from the package result
• Completion rules per topic, including a passing-score threshold
• A limit on attempts per learner
• Detailed reports with every attempt, CSV export and attempt deletion

LearnDash must be active. Topic mapping and access checks depend on it.
