Ipad Mobile Player

Hi,

I've created a open access course (Does not require LMS Login) for web view and the mobile player app for Ipad. Everything works great, but one interest I have is tracking the number of times the course is accessed. Currently I am using a Google analytic's code in the .html files to track when the course has been accessed.  This works for the initial access of the course from both the mobile and web version however when the course is accessed again from the mobile player it seems the .html files are not accessed. Does anyone know what the target file of the course from the library in the mobile viewer is? My hope is I can track the access to that file, allowing me to track the times the course is accessed from the mobile viewer. 

Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Robin

Hi Robin! I wanted to pop in and welcome you to E-Learning Heroes!

Your question is out of the scope of what Articulate supports, so I hope that someone from the community is able to assist you. 

Here is what we recommend in regards to tracking progress:

How can I track and report on mobile learners' progress?

To track your learners who view your iPad or HTML5 content, you'll need to do any one of the following:

  • Deploy your course from Articulate Online: Articulate Online fully supports tracking users who view your course with the Articulate Mobile Player on an iPad. When you publish, choose Articulate Online as your publish option, and mark the checkbox to "Use Articulate Mobile Player on iPad." Find out more about publishing to Articulate Online here.
  • Deploy your course from an LMS which supports the Tin Can API: Tin Can is a communication specification which allows learning management systems to receive tracking data from mobile apps. When you publish, choose LMS as your publish option, and mark the checkbox to “Use Articulate Mobile Player on iPad.” (If your LMS provider doesn’t yet support Tin Can API, we recommend that you urge them to do so.) Find out more about publishing for LMS here.
  • Deploy your course as HTML5 content, and have learners access it from your LMS with a browser that supports HTML5: This is a good option if you’re using an LMS which does not support Tin Can API and if learners will use an iPad or other device which doesn’t support Flash. When you publish, choose LMS as your publish option, and mark the checkbox to “Include HTML5 output. Find out more about publishing for LMS here.
