When using Articulate to create our SCORMS for Moodle 2.1.2, we publish them as SCORM
1.2. There are a few options we have to sort out before we actually
publish them though, and this is where some confusion arises.
The first question is in regards to the 'Title' and 'Identifier'
fields.
I was advised for another issues I was having to only use lower
case alphanumeric characters. Is this the case when I publish for
Moodle?
Also, what is best practice for the LMS Reporting Options in the drop
down? I have searched the forums and seem to get conflicting info
based on the year of the post and Moodle version. Currently, I just use the default passed/incomplete.
Typically you don't need to modify that information unless you are actually having an issue with a particular field so I would personally not bother messing with that.
Regarding the default setting or using a different setting, it really depends on how your LMS interprets the tracking info we send. For example, if you want someone to only take a course once whether they pass or fail, then usually you would just need to change the tracking to Passed/Failed. Passed/Incomplete should allow someone to retake a course until they pass and there are instances where you don't want that to happen.
The only reason you might want to change passed to Complete would be if your LMS asked you to. Otherwise you should be fine leaving that as Passed.

Thanks for the input Justin....
I am testing a few settings as we speak. If something really strange happens, I will dip back in.
If anybody else has an stories, I would love to hear them
Many thanks!,
Dave
