Course name not available in LRS using xAPI

I have a Rise course embedded in my LMS (Learnupon) using xAPI, and my LMS is configured to forward all xAPI statements to an LRS. However, in  the LRS, I only see the Identifier for my course, no...

Hi!

Was this issue solved for the course name? 

While I can see here the workaround for the problem with the course name, I experience the same issue with the module (lesson) names - only IDs are available in the LRS data and there is no way to easily associate those non-interpretable IDs to particular modules. These names, for both course and modules are available in the tincan.xml during the export from Articulate, so I wonder, why aren't they available in LRS?

While the tincan.xml theoretically can be extracted from the exported zip file, parsed, and used as a dictionary to map IDs and names, this will become quite cumbersome with different course versions and with zip files (= Articulate's course object) reused in multiple courses on LMS.

It would be much easier to analyze the data on LRS if object.name was populated not only for knowledge check question objects (cmi.interaction) but also for course and module objects.

I would appreciate your help with this issue.

Best regards,

Lada

    Hi KNIMEAuthorEdu!

    Thanks for checking in on this!

    We're still tracking a feature request to extend xAPI reporting when publishing from Rise 360 to LMS. If released, this feature enhancement will include course identifier names, as well as descriptions of activity objects.

    I've included your voice in the request! We'll be sure to notify you as soon as we have updates to share.
