Moodle Completion Tracking Challenge
Aug 18, 2016
I have a number of course modules that are produced in SL2. They are output as web packages and not as SCORM because we had previously found that there were problems with SCORM tracking in Moodle. There are no quizzes to track in these modules, but we want to make sure people complete them fully. I have made future activities dependent on people completing the previous ones. However I have discovered that as soon as someone clicks on the Storyline package to open it up, Moodle marks the activity as complete. They don't actually have to go through the whole module. They can just click on it and then immediately exit it and Moodle will mark it complete.
I don't think I can re-make these modules as SCORM packages because we have many people that have already completed them and their certificates are dependent on those activities being completed as they were already done.
Does anyone have any good ideas or solutions to make sure people complete this whole instructional module in Storyline and have Moodle only mark it complete it they have finished the whole thing?
Many thanks,
Whitney

They really need to be scorms to ensure they view the whole course and should track well in moodle.
i suppose you could have other activities in a separate course and give a password at the end of each module, I don't think there is anyway to control the activity without using a storm.
Thanks Phil:
Do you happen to know if the previous problems that existed with SL and Moodle SCORM tracking have been resolved with newer versions? I saw quite a number of reports of these issues in the forums and we had our own set of headaches as well.
I have never had an issue with tracking in Moodle having used Module 1.9, 2.4, 2.7 and 3+
Often the problem with tracking is because a grade has not been set in the grade book and also that for slides viewed the method is not set to learning objects.
OK, great to know and thanks!
Any idea how to change this midstream? If we move all the SL modules to SCORM activities people who are halfway through the course would lose their completion tracking on modules they have already completed. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a small number, but we are talking 1000s of users at this point.
Also, one other quick clarification. You said:
"...for slides viewed the method is not set to learning objects."
Is this a Moodle setting or a SL setting?
Learning objects is a moodle setting when loading the scorm. it has 3 possible grades
- not viewed
0 in progress
1 complete
you need to set a grade in the grade book for 1 if using slides viewed.
I am not sure you can do this easily. It may be a case of setting up the score and then editing the database to mark the completed users manually.
OK. Thanks again so much for your help! This has been really informative.
I notice that there is quite a variety of SCORM setting options in SL. Are there suggested settings that seem to work best in Moodle (SCORM 2004 vs. 1.2, ... 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Edition, etc.). Just want to make sure we give it the best chance for working smoothly in Moodle (currently we are in Moodle 2.7.5)
Score 1.2 works best inside moodle
Hi Phil could you please tell me how can i show percentage of course viewed in moodle with scrome uploaded file. my concern is i have 50 slides in my scrom file if user clicks 20 or 25 slides then it has to show 50% course is completed for user. and if he agian logged in for same course it has to show from 25 slide i mean resume the course in scrom for moodle.
