Exported SCORM Articulate Storyline Zip Project will not Upload to Brightspace/D2L

Question

Previously published projects from Articulate Storyline 2 for Brightspace/D2L using the zip feature. I need to edit the report.html file in the zip and was usually able to update this file, re-zip my project, and upload to Brightspace and import with no issues. However, I have not been able to do this lately (within the last 4 months) and get thrown a conversion error from Brightspace:

I am currently attempting to test this zip in SCORM cloud but can't get that to upload either (I already have a ticket open with them).

Has anyone encountered this issue and have any alternative workarounds or suggestions? An example file with my updated report.html file is attached.

Thanks Robin! That did the trick.

Hi Aisha,

I've run into this myself. Instead of zipping the folder 'SYA_Module' you need to go into the folder then select and zip up all the content.

I think the issue here is the import tool can't find the imsmanifest.xml file, because it searching at the top (root) level, while in the zip file you supplied it is in SYA_Module/imsmanifest.xml.

I've attached a new zip file without the top 'SYA_Module' folder in it. This should now import into Brightspace.
