Hi, just wondering if there is a common practice for the average number of slides required to be viewed (other than 100%). This is when we track the learner's completion in the LMS by slide view.
One option is to have slides that are must-view for completion, and others that are available for "I need to know more about this." In that case, you can put the must-view slides in the menu, and provide links to and from the enhancement slides, which don't show in the menu. When you publish, you can set passing to 100% of slides in the menu.
Seriously, I can't imagine passing with less than 100% of the must-view slides. If they don't have be viewed to pass, put them in the optional group.
Thanks Walt, how about if the course is intended for 2 different groups and has different course paths. Thus, you can't categorize slides as optional and mandatory. Learners just have different number of slides to be viewed. If we still set at 100% it will always be marked as INCOMPLETE in our LMS. What do you think is most practical percentage?
"Slides" is a very fluid concept. To the learner watching, there is no discernible difference between one slide with 100 objects, and 100 slides, each with one object. So if this is serious enough a matter, and you are committed to two paths, and a "must view XX slide to pass" concept, it should be pretty easy to redesign a few slides to give each path the same number of slides. You can add a slide to one path by creating a slide with nothing on it that jumps to the next slide when its timeline starts. Nobody sees it, but it counts as another slide viewed. Then if you can keep the two paths separated, you have both the number of slides, and the percentage of slides needed to pass. By separated, I mean that a learner can't view some slides from one path, and some from the other.
