Interactive video in Cornerstone OnDemand

Set it up

Put the video on the transcript

Share link, new window

Add the link as a URL Material

Use this route only for optional viewing. Cornerstone adds the item to the transcript and opens it in a new window, and the video reports nothing back.

  1. In Mindstamp, publish the video from its Share page.
  2. Select Copy link to copy the share link.
  3. In Cornerstone, add the share link as a URL Material. Cornerstone’s Materials help page did not load during research, so the labels in your portal can differ.
  4. Assign the Material to a test learner.
  5. Launch it as that learner. If no window opens, allow pop-ups for your Cornerstone portal.

SCORM, Content Uploader

Upload an online course

Cornerstone lists SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 but does not say which 2004 edition. Start with SCORM 1.2.

  1. On the Mindstamp Share page, under Export, select Download SCORM package. This needs a Core plan or higher.
  2. In SCORM Version, choose SCORM 1.2. To use SCORM 2004, test one package first.
  3. In Completion Checkpoint, choose 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent. The 80 and 85 percent options do not record completion.
  4. In the Cornerstone Content Uploader, create an online course and upload the ZIP file as it is. Do not add other files to it.
  5. Assign the course to a test learner, play past the checkpoint, and check the transcript.

Known issues

Check these before you publish

The window does not open
Cornerstone opens training in a new window, so a pop-up blocker can stop it. Allow pop-ups for your Cornerstone portal.
SCORM 2004 edition not stated
Cornerstone lists SCORM 2004 without an edition. Use SCORM 1.2, or upload one 2004 package and run it as a test learner.
The upload is rejected
The Content Uploader takes one standard per ZIP file. Upload the Mindstamp ZIP alone, without other packages inside it.
A share link sends no score
A URL Material puts the item on the transcript, but the video reports nothing to Cornerstone. Use the SCORM package when the score counts.

Questions

Cornerstone OnDemand interactive video FAQ

Can I add an interactive video to Cornerstone OnDemand?

Yes, as a SCORM online course. Upload the Mindstamp package with the Content Uploader, and Cornerstone tracks it on the transcript like any online course. Cornerstone opens the training in a new window, and the package loads the player in that window.

Can I embed the Mindstamp player in a Cornerstone page?

No. Cornerstone learning objects do not include an HTML or iframe block, so there is no place for embed code. The closest option is a Material with the share link. It opens in a new window and sends nothing back to Cornerstone.

Which SCORM version should I use for Cornerstone?

Use SCORM 1.2 for Cornerstone OnDemand. Cornerstone lists SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, but its documents do not name the 2004 edition. Mindstamp exports SCORM 2004 3rd and 4th editions, so test one 2004 package before you use it across courses. See SCORM export.

Can Mindstamp connect to Cornerstone with xAPI or LTI?

No. Cornerstone accepts xAPI packages, and Cornerstone sets up each LTI Provider through Edge Import, so course authors cannot add one. Mindstamp exports SCORM only. See xAPI and cmi5.

Does Cornerstone have interactive video?

Cornerstone documents a plain Video learning object. Interactive video in Cornerstone comes from partner integrations, such as Kaltura and Panopto. Mindstamp needs no integration: the SCORM package loads the interactive video from Mindstamp, and the score goes to the transcript.
