LMS systems are in-house learning systems, and all ArcLearn courses can be used on your LMS. To test, click here and download the zip file which is a SCORM course. This is a test course with a cartoon video to prove the concept. Install using the import instructions with your LMS. If this test course works, any course on ArcLearn can be downloaded as a SCORM file and played on your LMS.
Additionally, you might consider entering the LMS domain into the ArcLearn administration page. This eliminates any individual ArcLearn login that is otherwise necessary. For more information, see HELP; ArcLearn for the IT Professional.

Possible issue: Your IT people could configure the firewall to trap and discard video.
If this is the case, there is nothing that you can do other than to contact the IT folks to find out if this is being done. They may be able to open up the firewall to the ArcLearn service without compromising any security that they might have in mind. Ask them.

Your connection speed is important and your speed is dependent upon others who share your connection. We find that you will need about 600Kbps or faster for high quality video. For example, if your organization has a T1 line, you have a 1400Kbps speed connection; but, if there are others using this connection then you will not be using the entire speed. You share with others making your effective speed lower.
Try a Speed Test to check your download connection speed.
