Can I Check LMS Settings in a Published Presentation?
Sep 12, 2011

Hi All!
I apologize if this has been asked before, I did a search and didn't see anything. I have a published package for an LMS system (Scorm 1.2). Is there any way I can check what the tracking settings are in the final package? I want to make sure that a particular test is being used for tracking.
I found this information in the data folder presentation.xml file:
<LmsProperties>
<protocol>
<method>SCORM</method>
<version>1.2</version>
</protocol>
<completion>
<method>QUIZ</method>
<threshold>100</threshold>
<target>ab8294cd-2647-4870-bdd3-3754a74f9165</target>
</completion>
So, I assume tracking is set to track a quiz, but is there any way for me to confirm what quiz is being tracked?
Thank you!

Hi Amber,
In that same presentation.xml file, perform a search for the number in the target field. You should find a slide id tag that also contains that number. Underneath that, you'll see a notesbig.swf file. The number should correspond with the slide number in your presentation. For example, if it says notesbig2.swf, that means the quiz is in slide 2.
I hope that helps!
Brian,
Worked like a charm!! Now here's my last question for you....can I change the target to another slide ID/quiz? When I published the file, I set the tracking to a quiz, when really I needed the tracking to be set on the final exam. I would love to not have to re-publish the whole thing, but to rather just update the properties.xml file and send that back to the LMS team. Would that work?
By the way, I really appreciate your help!!!
Hi Amber,
You can manually update the target, but I wouldn't recommend it. Feel free to try it out & see if it works out for you.
Thank you Brian!!!
