HI Bill,

Not sure if this is your issue but lately we were experiencing issues with Safari and iframes.

The issue is that Safari is blocking 3rd party cookies. This way the auth cookie that was set in the iframe was never sent to the client and the adapt course would not load.

To solve we had to redirect to a rogue page in the lms that sets the auth cookie and redirects back to our site.

Or you can just enable 3rd party cookies in Safari.

Not sure if this is your issue. Just something we had the other day.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your reply and insights. I've tried turning off Totara's SCORM debugger, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Also, I'm using the enter button, rather than a manual link.

Unfortunately Apple do seem to have a habit of changing things in iOS that break content quite badly... twice now they've broken playback of HTML5 video.

Hi Bill

I don't know quite at what version of iOS this started occurring but I have noticed an annoying bug that's certainly present in iOS v11.3.x (iPhone only) where, if the SCORM debugger that Moodle/Totara has is enabled, I can't – initially - get it to launch the course at all.

When happens is that Safari prompts you to allow the debugger window to open - but then if you switch back to the main window to get the other prompt (which annoyingly you have to do now since Apple changed the way the allow/block prompts appear) my iPhone just doesn't show it; my iPad, however, does!

If you then leave the debugger window open then try reloading the other page, the course window opens fine and loads no problem – presumably because with the course debugger window already open it only needs to display one allow/block prompt this time.

I've just tried a few Adapt courses on Totara and - when the SCORM debugger is switched off - I haven't had any issues and certainly haven't seen any 'could not connect to LMS' issues - though I am using a relatively old version of Totara (2.9.12)

One thing I have noticed in the past is that occasionally when you use the 'click here to launch this course manually' link (rather than the Enter button) you get a 'could not connect to LMS' error... I think the last time I investigated this it seemed that Moodle/Totara was not actually making the LMS API available at the point the course was loaded and started looking for it. Whenever this happened I noticed that Moodle/Totara would include a sort of weird countdown message in the course window prior to actually going to the course content. Typically, I can't replicate it now despite following the same steps!

Hi,

Since installing iOS 11.3 on my iPhone 6, I can't open ADAPT courses (even v3) in Totara LMS. We've used the usual methods for getting around iframes etc. but I'm just getting the 'Course cannot connect to the LMS' message. Everything was fine until iOS 11.3, so I'm wondering if anyone has insight on a bug there???

All of my ADAPT courses still work fine in SCORM Cloud with iOS 11.3 by the way...

Thanks!

Bill

Nice.

We are proud to announce with our new Lite mode for Adapt Authoring Tool there new way to use the Adapt Authoring Tool. Lite mode, in conduction with our Preview Editor means creating a new course with sensible defaults is now a single click operation, and all text can be edited in a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) environment.

Can Studios offer professional Adapt Authoring Tool hosting.

What does this mean?

We can take away the pain of setting up and running your own server, and we can offer features other providers can’t without locking you into our system.

How is this possible?

We have spent over 12 months developing deployment and maintenance tools which allow us to efficiently start and patch our fleet of servers.

That’s why we can offer offer instant access to the adapt authoring tool and a 30 day no-commitment free trial.

Our tool is easier to use.

We started working with Adapt because we have a course development team and they need a future proof solution. The fact we use the tool in house every day is important because it means we are constantly pushing the tool to make it more efficient and easier to use. We made improvements large and small including our unique what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor.

Must-have features

Our servers will back up each of your courses every night, and you can choose to backup manually too. Believe me - you never want to experience the heart stopping, cold sweating feeling that someone just deleted the whole project and there is no way back.

Monthly Updates.

Roughly every 4 weeks we will update the servers for all our clients including new authoring features, themes and extensions. As well as building brand new features for the tool we also curate the public extensions and include those we feel add value bringing the best of the community for our users.

You can see our latest release blog here.

Security Updates.

Our monthly updates include security patches for the authoring tool and underlying operating system. So you can get peace of mind and concentrate on building content not learning the command line.

There are no tie ins with our service.

We strongly believe that you should be able to export a course from our system at any time and it will be fully compatible with the open source Adapt framework. We have also tested it will import into the open source authoring tool intact…

So if you want to try a secure, easy to use tool, with no commitment and no tie-ins there’s only one place you can get that in the next 5 minutes:

It looks like the LMS in question is Moodle, it's therefore likely to be displaying the course in an iframe which causes problems with responsive content like Adapt on iOS as documented here and here.

Hi Matt

When I log onto https://learning.wales.nhs.uk and navigate to All Wales Academy for Local Government > I am a Councillor > Corporate Parenting (Councillor Development) > Corporate Parenting Online Module and click enter to start the module, the page opens up in a different tab in the web browser but I’m unable to click on any of the slides on an iOS device. However I can click and go through all the slides when opening this on a Windows 7 computer using IE 11.

Quite true considering today's students know when and where to access their study materials. You have examples of Byjus, urbanpro etc who follow the same scenario.

Screening same course across multiple devices without losing the features(navigation, adaptability etc) is the core strategy behind responsive elearning.

Mobile is where the concentration needs to be diverted with such huge penetration among today's millennials. They will be either on Android or iOS or Windows devices always and getting your course adapted among these devices is of primary concern.
