Completion status, Moodle and SL2
Feb 27, 2015
We are experieincing a problem with the completion of assessments.
If the user closes the assessment before completion, their status in the LMS (moodle) is shown as Failed. If they go back and complete the assessment (and achieve 100%) the LMS status does not update.
Assessment is set to Passed/Incomplete and multiple attempts are allowed.
This is only happening with SL2 files. We tested with a file made in SL1 and had no issue - after exiting, showed as InProgress, and on completion displayed user as having passed.
The same file, converted to SL2 demonstrated the problem behaviour (failed and not updating).
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas as to why the difference between SL1 and SL2?
Thanks
Lance.

Just tested in SCORMCloud and everything behaved as it should, so can only assume there is something in the way SL2 and Moodle communicate.
Would say it's the LMS, but no issue with SL1 files.
Hi Lance, what version of Moodle are you on? Are you publishing to SCORM 1.2 or 2004?
Last question is... can you share the file so I can check configurations and test it on my Moodle instance? If not, could you send screenshots of those settings from Reporting and Tracking screens?
Moodle version is 2.4.6+ (Build 20131004).
Unfortunately I cannot upload the story files (proprietary information), but have attached screen shots.
Many thanks
Lance
Hi Lance,
Have you reached out to Moodle to see if they had any ideas? If it behaved normally in SCORM Cloud, it may be a different Moodle setting that you need to use in terms of working with SL2 - but I haven't heard such reported here in the forums.
Moodle 2.4.6 is quite old and is no longer supported for security or bug fixes. It also contains some serious security issues that have been fixed in newer stable releases (2.6 and higher) You should focus on upgrading your site to a newer supported stable release asap.
Your explanation above does sound like it could be an old bug with Moodle that has been fixed in newer versions(but not the old 2.4 branch). https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-43222
Hi Ashley and Dan
Thanks for the info, and I will pass on the suggestion, but that doesn't answer why the files created in SL1 work as designed, but SL2 files do not. What changed in SL2 that would bring this problem to light?
No idea - all I know is that Moodle 2.4.6 is buggy and not supported any-more, you should prioritise an upgrade just because of the security issues it contains. Hopefully by doing this you will also fix the SCORM issues you're seeing - especially as it does sound similar to some bugs that we've already fixed.
Thanks Dan
Much appreciated.
Hi Lance,
I can't speak to what may have changed either as it's working as expected as you mentioned at SCORM Cloud, but it could be that as Dan mentioned the older version of Moodle and the bug mentioned are interfering with it.
