Follow the progress of the course

Hello Angel,

I had to use cmi.progress_measure for one of clients. You will need to publish your course for SCORM 2004 because the progress_measure isn't available for earlier versions of SCORM.

The progress_measure can be set for values between 0 and 1. For example if the course is 20% complete you will set it to 0.2.

Below is the JavaScript that I used.

var nProgress = 0.1;

var player = GetPlayer();
var nMeasure = player.GetVar("nMeasure");

function findLMSAPI(win) {
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
else if (win.parent == win) return null;
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}

if (nProgress > nMeasure){
var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);
player.SetVar("nMeasure",nProgress);
lmsAPI.SCORM2004_SetProgressMeasure(nProgress);
}

I have also attached a sample project for you to take a look at. It has 10 slides in it.

on Slide 1, nProgress is set to 0.1

on Slide 2, nProgress is set to 0.2

I also created a number variable called nMeasure that has a Default Value of -1.
This variable is used to remember the learners progress.

For example if they make it to slide 8, the progress is set to 0.8. If they go back to a previous slide such as slide 2, I didn't want the progress to change 0.2

I tested this sample project in the SCORM Cloud. I ran both the flash version and the html5 version and checked the logs to make sure that the progress_measure is being set.

 

 

Hi Russel,

do you have any feedback of your test ? Does it work ?
