Question on SCORM compliancy with Quizmaker

May 27, 2011

Normally in a scorm course (test) when you wish the user to have multiple attemps to obtain a passing grade before being locked out of the test (IE: sending a failed status) a course engine would check to see if the course had been launched before using the get method (store by the lms most likely in the suspend data field) and if null or "" set to 1 (user is now attempting for the first time) , and after completion... send a score ( raw.score) and a status which in this case is not passed and attemps remain, incomplete.  If the user has two attempts, on second launch it checks with the lms to see if it's been launched before and retrieves the number of attemps and adds 1 to it. So the getMethod returns 1 and the test engine adds one so the user is now on their second attempt. If the user fails on this attempts since number of attemps now == total attemps allowed send a the score and a failed status. thus closing the course and moving it to a completed course or transcript area of a LMS.

This does not seem to be happening anywhere in the quizmaker code, and as a result I am either stuck with only allowing 1 attempt setting the LMS Reporting in the Output options of Quizmaker as passed/failed, or set a passed/incomplete and allowing the user to take the test until they manage to pass it.

Is there something I that I am missing in the template/Quiz Properties/ Publish settings, that might allow for multiple attemps correctly? Any and all help appreciated
