cmi.core.lesson_status Problem

Is the user exiting the course using teh Exit button, or the X window close button?

Good question. I ran through some tests, and it doesn't matter.

If you start/resume and reach the submit slide, you can exit via course exit button, LMS logout, or browser close, and the course is "In Progress."

If you enter the course later, do not resume, and reach the submit slide, you can exit via the couse exit button, LMS logout, or browser close, and the course is "Completed."

What LMS are you using?

If your LMS happens to be Saba 5.4, see this:  http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=st1&id=hd0cc4e9mgvm

Thanks--I've been through the LMS support pages. They're handy to have. We're using Learn.com.

After more testing, more information: if resume is turned off in the SCORM 1.2 version, the course sends "completed" to the LMS. Of course, the course runs about 2 1/2 hours, so the option to resume is pretty useful.

Also, when I set Storyline to send passed/failed to the LMS (instead of completed/failed), the status of both the SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 3rd edition are both changed to complete.

I still need to check it with a user to make sure that the changed status is reflected on the student feedback screen, but it looks like passed/failed may be the solution.

Thanks!

Hmmm . . . that's interesting.  Does your course have a final quiz that determines completion?

Sounds like there could be a bug in the logic, Kevin. Might want to submit a support ticket to get the crew to take a look and verify. Completion status is fairly straight forward. If SL isn't sending it on your results slide IAW your tracking conditions, makes me suspect a wrench in the works.

Steve,

I think you're right. I spoke with out LMS person and she had the same suggestion. I'll file a bug report.

Gerry, the online component is the first component of a blended learning course. The final exam is at the end of the classroom component. But we have a pretest. So the way that the course is set is that the pretest is done at the beginning. When the user reaches the last slide, the score is sent to the LMS (using a result slide--Storyline is fantastic), which triggers a course completion. This way we get a record of the pretest, and still ensure that the online component is not complete until the user has visited every slide.

By the way, I confirmed that course to "passed/failed" worked for both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.

Thanks,

Kevin

I asked about the final quiz because with our Saba system, we need to edit out the passing score in the content's imsmanifest.xml file to get "incomplete/complete" or "incomplete/passed" to work with SCORM 1.2.

If we don't do this, we get strange completion results and Saba, instead of the content itself, determines passing or failing.  And failing per Saba always means sending a "failed" status, even when we want a "incomplete."
