Oracle Taleo Learn - Storyline unable to set the score in the users' transcript

Disclaimer: This may not work for everyone, these notes are for future reference when working with a Taleo-based LMS.

Our client sent Taleo guidelines pertaining to integrating Storyline courses. (See pdf attachment. I am not quite sure if this is the latest update, however.) Based upon these guidelines, I have received a favourable response from our client that it works on their LMS using the SCORM 2004 specification.

Of the differences with our previous build:

1. Launch browser settings. Set to "Launch player in new window." (See screenshot.) I am assuming that this is the method of how the LMS communicates with the course.
2. Set course completion status via trigger. (See screenshot.)
3. Use JavaScript trigger to send back the score and pass percentage to the LMS. (See code snippet below.)
   
   

// Code Snippet

//Set Score
var player = GetPlayer();

// Variable "courseScore" is predefined and set to the Results.ScorePercent variable in a trigger at the slide layer.

var score = parseInt(player.GetVar("courseScore"));

// Variable "passingScore" is predefined and set to the Results.PassPercent variable in a trigger at the slide layer.

var passing = parseInt(player.GetVar("passingScore"));

console.log("score [" + score + "% of " + passing + "%]");

// SCORM2004 detection
var nFindAPITries = 0;
var API = null;
var maxTries = 500;

// The ScanForAPI() function searches for an object named API_1484_11
// in the window that is passed into the function. If the object is
// found a reference to the object is returned to the calling function.
// If the instance is found the SCO now has a handle to the LMS
// provided API Instance. The function searches a maximum number
// of parents of the current window. If no object is found the
// function returns a null reference. This function also reassigns a
// value to the win parameter passed in, based on the number of
// parents. At the end of the function call, the win variable will be
// set to the upper most parent in the chain of parents.

function ScanForAPI(win)
{
while ((win.API_1484_11 == null) && (win.parent != null) && (win.parent != win))
{
nFindAPITries++;
if (nFindAPITries > maxTries)
{
return null;
}
win = win.parent;
}
return win.API_1484_11;
}

// The GetAPI() function begins the process of searching for the LMS
// provided API Instance. The function takes in a parameter that
// represents the current window. The function is built to search in a
// specific order and stop when the LMS provided API Instance is found.
// The function begins by searching the current window’s parent, if the
// current window has a parent. If the API Instance is not found, the
// function then checks to see if there are any opener windows. If
// the window has an opener, the function begins to look for the
// API Instance in the opener window.

function GetAPI(win)
{
if ((win.parent != null) && (win.parent != win))
{
API = ScanForAPI(win.parent);
}
if ((API == null) && (win.opener != null))
{
API = ScanForAPI(win.opener);
}
}

GetAPI(this);

//These lines will be used to set score value in SCORM2004
var finalRawScore = score;
var passPercent = passing;
var scoreScale = finalRawScore/100;

//Set score value here. These 4 lines are necessary for SCORM2004
SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.scaled', scoreScale);
SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.raw', finalRawScore);
SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.min', '0');
SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.max', '100');

// Passed and completion status
// SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue("cmi.success_status","passed");
// SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue("cmi.completion_status","completed");
