How does it work?

Rustici Engine handles the hard work of importing, playing and tracking all types of eLearning content including MP4 videos, MP3 audio files and PDF documents—even plain old URLs. Instead of managing these file types separately, it can now all be managed in one centralized place.

What does it do?

Rustici Engine allows you or your customers to import, play and track videos and documents directly into your eLearning platform just as you would handle SCORM, AICC, xAPI and cmi5 courses. Now you can support more content types than ever before. Using Rustici Engine for PDFs and videos means you get that support right out of the box, using the same APIs that you’re already using for your packaged learning content.

What data does it track?

Rustici Engine automatically collects and stores completion and duration data for .mp4, .mp3 and .pdf files types in the Engine database alongside the standards-based content data. For URL tracking, you’ll see who launched the link. Using the same registration results API that you would use for SCORM and other standards-based content, Rustici Engine allows you to retrieve that data. Additional data such as when users paused, skipped or exited a video are also available via xAPI statements by querying the LRS.

What are the technical details?

To support the additional content types, you’ll need to be on the Rustici Engine 2019.1 release.

  • MP4 video files

    From deep dives to microlearning, you can easily play, pause, skip ahead or back to review your users’ interactions.

  • MP3 audio files

    As an added bonus, Rustici Engine also supports the audio coding format for podcasts and other audio clips.

  • PDF documents

    From policy and procedures documents to job aids and checklists, we’ve got all your PDF needs covered.

  • URLs

    Whether it’s SharePoint resources, blog posts or industry articles, if it has a link, you can track who is actually using the asset.
