I have a question about the absence of the <adlcp:masteryscore> element in the imsmanifest.xml file for Rise. In Rise 360, if I export a package and select the Tracking option, "Track using quiz result," I am able to choose a Reporting option such as Passed/Failed. In Rise, this publishing choice will not add the <adlcp:masteryscore> line to the imsmanifest.xml file. However, if I use Storyline 360 or Presenter 360 to select similar publishing options, they do indeed add the <adlcp:masteryscore> line to the imsmanifest.xml file. For Rise content, this is problematic for us when we upload content to our LMS. Our LMS reads the <adlcp:masteryscore> line in the imsmanifest.xml file and uses it to determine automatic completion and scoring behavior. Is there any way that the imsmanifest.xml file in Rise 360 packages could be expanded to include the <adlcp:masteryscore> in the event that passing or failing is an option? This would help to align it with the way that other Articulate products perform.

Here's how to manually add the required line: Open the "imsmanifest.xml" file with notepad, NOT wordpad and NOT Word. Search for a block of text that looks something like this, and manually insert the boldface line: <organizations default="Your course title"> <organization identifier="Your_course_title_ID"> <title>PPSP Obstetric Hemorrhage</title> <item identifier="Your_content_title_SCO" isvisible="true" identifierref="__5Vmc4DicETr_course_id_RES"> <title>Your content title</title> <adlcp:masteryscore>80</adlcp:masteryscore> </item> In this example, our passing score is 80. You should put whichever number you want but it should be JUST THE NUMBER AND NOTHING MORE. Save the altered imsmanifest.xml file Re-zip the files. To do this on a PC: In your file folder, select the imsmanifest.xml file and all the other files, then right-click on them and select Send to..., then Compressed (zipped) folder. WARNING: you MUST select the individual files and compress them; you must not go to the parent folder and zip the parent folder because it will cause errors on most LMSs when you upload the zip. Good luck!

Hi Nathan, Unfortunately, that's not going to be possible because Rise 360 doesn't use `MasteryScore` to communicate the passing score. Did you try uploading your course to SCORM Cloud to see if you experience the same behavior? That's what we generally recommend doing to determine whether the problem stems from the course or the LMS. Here's an article that walks you through how to do that. If it works correctly on SCORM Cloud, then the problem is coming from the LMS and you'll need to talk to your provider. If you see the same issue on SCORM Cloud, then the problem is likely coming from the course itself. If that's the case, please reach out to our support team. In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

We have just seen this, trying a Rise package in our own SCORM player (someone else's code, but hardened). We have a script which unpacks the SCORMs into a hidden folder on the server, and have had to add error trapping code to the unpack routing to deal with the lack of masteryscore being defined. Assuming you're actually keeping to SCORM 1.2 specifications, how on earth else DOES a rise-authored package pass data back including the ability to tell whether a user has passed that attempt or not?

Hi there, Dave! I don't have the details on how a Rise-authored package passes data back to an LMS, but I do know that Rise populates the Score value. Hopefully someone in the community who has attempted a similar configuration can chime in to help!

Thanks. Really we need an engineer familiar with the SCORM protocol to chime in here - your colleague asking the OP to check their exported package in SCORM Cloud suggests there is some degree of standards-based behaviour, but this isn't one we have seen so need to get it implemented.

Rise 360 doesn't put the mastery score in imsmanifest.xml

I have a question about the absence of the <adlcp:masteryscore> element in the imsmanifest.xml file for Rise.

In Rise 360, if I export a package and select the Tracking option, "Track using quiz result," I am able to choose a Reporting option such as Passed/Failed. In Rise, this publishing choice will not add the <adlcp:masteryscore> line to the imsmanifest.xml file.

However, if I use Storyline 360 or Presenter 360 to select similar publishing options, they do indeed add the <adlcp:masteryscore> line to the imsmanifest.xml file.

For Rise content, this is problematic for us when we upload content to our LMS. Our LMS reads the <adlcp:masteryscore> line in the imsmanifest.xml file and uses it to determine automatic completion and scoring behavior.

Is there any way that the imsmanifest.xml file in Rise 360 packages could be expanded to include the <adlcp:masteryscore> in the event that passing or failing is an option? This would help to align it with the way that other Articulate products perform.

Hi there!

I would suggest against deleting the <adlcp:dataFromLMS> tag since that functionality is not related to scoring. Deleting that element may cause Rise to misbehave with other behaviors (such as the Reset Learner Progress functionality).

Interestingly enough, the SCORM documentation itself says that course content doesn't need to include the masteryscore in the manifest document (https://lms.technology/for/scorm/1.2/standards/SCORM_1.2_RunTimeEnv.pdf#page=32).

I suspect since Rise is driving the completion instead of the LMS, this is why Rise doesn't use the masteryscore in the manifest. I'm curious to hear what happens in your LMS when masteryscore isn't included though! Is completion not being shown by the LMS? Or is there some other strange artifact?

Does anyone know if we can extract the mastery score from a Rise course from a file other than the manifest? My LMS is interested in this information.
