It seems like lately a lot of people have been asking if Articulate Presenter and Articulate Quizmaker work with Moodle. For those of you that don’t know Moodle is a course management system (CMS) – a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities (that definition came from moodle.org, I have no idea what pedagogical means). For more information on Moodle please visit http://www.moodle.org.
The good news is that Moodle has a SCORM module which allows you to upload any standard SCORM package, which includes Articulate Presenter and Quizmaker content, to include in your course. Both Articulate Presenter and Articulate Quizmaker are certified as SCORM compliant by an independent ADL certification expert which means without having to do anything special Articulate Presenter and Quizmaker will work and report results to Moodle.
The reason this question has come up so often is that Moodle, like many Learning Management Systems, is very complicated and difficult to learn. In the brief video below I have included a demonstration on how to integrate Articulate Presenter content (with an embedded Quizmaker quiz) into Moodle.
As you can see in the demonstration Articulate Presenter and Articulate Quizmaker can work with and report results to Moodle.
Note: Moodle can be a very complicated system to install, like many other Open Source applications, if you are not an advanced computer user. I would recommend getting the help of an advanced user before attempting to install and use Moodle.

Hello Dave.
I work for a state agency and some of our users are having problems with modules we made in Articulate.I’ve communicated with Moodle and they say its Articulate. Specifically,”error is in the js invocation to try to make the lms_init call.” I have tried to get the latest patch, but when to Help>Support>check for updates, it says none are available. We are running IE7, XP Professional. Here’s the error log:

Hey Scott,
What version of Moodle are you using? I am using Moodle 1.9.7 and I don’t see that issue.
-Dave
Dave – I work with Scott. We are on version 1.9.7 also using moodlerooms. The problem we are having is that when calling the articulate module it locks IE (7). Using task manager and killing IE is the only resolution. If you go back into it then it works properly. The problem is intermittant but seems to be worse during midday. I tried 5 different modules and had the same problem on 4 out the 5. We are stumped! Any help or advice would be great! Our Articulate is fully patched.
Moodle says we have the most current version.
Hi Jay and Scott,
If you want I can set you up with a test account on my server to see if you guys still have the same problem.
-Dave
That would be great. What do you need me to do?
Hey Scott,
Want to go here and create an account:
http://moodle.moodletuts.com/auth/facebook/login.php
Once the account is created I’ll make you a teacher in a course.
-Dave
I’ve created the account.
Cool, you should be all set now. I made you a teacher in the Scott’s course.
When I try to upload my course I get “A required parameter (id) was missing”.
I zipped the file, as a matter of fact I’m following one of your posts on uploading SCOM/AICC packages.
SCORM
Scott, did you use the ZIP feature from the Publish success dialog or did you zip it yourself afterwards?
If you zipped it yourself make sure you don’t include the published folder, you just want to zip the files in the folder.
-Dave
I’m using the same ones we have loaded to our site.
