Customizing SCORM requests

May 15, 2015

Hello,

I've been using Storyline 2 for quite sometime and I really enjoy the easy to use programming interface.

We are working for a client with some quite specific requests for a SCORM 1.2 compatible package... If someone could inform me if those requests are possible to fulfill and, if possible, point me to the resources that can teach me how to achieve it it would be awesome.

The requests are as follows:

  • Search slides for specific meta-data to be able to jump to a specific topic (if the topic's pre-requisites are fulfilled);
  • Have an evaluation ate the end of the course with unlimited tries UNTIL you get 70% right, after that you have 3 tries:
    • I believe this would also use persistent variables;
    • Maybe this would also require a 'non-standard' test, it would have to be built and programmed by us...?
  • When we get a 70% mark on the test, when re-entering the test we should be sent to the first slide (ignoring the progress cookie) and add the option to retake the test:
    • The user must see also a list of the last grades he took...
  • While still using scorm: The course can't send a 'completed', 'passed' or 'failed' state, this state should remain 'incomplete':
    • I believe this is because they want to check the grade manually... in this sense we need to pass the latest grade...
  • The SCORM manifest must be altered in order to be hosted on a specific part of the server (blackboard) while the content sits in another corner...

Storyline has a built ib search function 

You may need to set it to force resume for this and use variables to track  achieving 70% and then setting 3 attempts

If you are using force resume you cannot override the bookmarking, you could store the scores in the course but with unlimited tries this may get confusing for the number of variables reqiured to show the grades.

You may be override and set to incomplete using javascript probably needs a trigger on every slide to do this.

Not sure the manifest can be separate to the course
