Rise 360 to Absorb LMS: Not tracking user progress

Hi Amelia,

Could you please try in SCORM Cloud, with debugging enabled and test your course? If it resumes properly in SCORM Cloud you can share that with our LMS admin and they can review the debug log. It may need to be adjusted if the "SCORM persistence" of your LMS takes in data differently.

Regarding, completion options, Rise 360 reports Incomplete (0%) or Complete (100%) to the LMS, but not percent partially complete. 

Thanks for letting us know you'd like to see more types of completion data sent to the LMS!

Hi there, we are just converting all our courses to Rise 360 too so would really like to see the learner progress (not just Incomplete/Complete - an actual percentage of how far along they are) being fed back to our LMS as that is how it currently works on our old courses and is a great motivator for learners.  How far away before this can be implemented?

Hello, Joanne! 

Rise 360 courses include a progress bar to indicate how much of the course the learner has completed. 

Rise 360 will send 1 quiz score to your LMS, but it doesn't send percent complete data to your LMS. Please let me know if that answers your question! 

Thanks, Joanne! We don't have plans to modify the LMS reporting data on our roadmap right now. We'll let you know if we make any changes in the future that will help.

Hi Alyssa,

It is really strange that you have this information somewhere, you are able to show it to the learner inside the Rise but you can't send it to the LMS. The weirdest part is that we can set a %age of completion at  Rise export to mark the content as passed. So you are using this value somewhere to define the status of the SCORM.

This would be very nice to have that info send to the LMS, as a cmi.score.raw or any other way, the same time suspend data are sent to the LMS.

Please add this to your roadmap as this would really help reporting and ergonomy.

Hi Alyssa, 

I completely agree with Joyce. The information about a learners progress is stored somewhere. Why is it not possible to access this information via i.e. Rustici-API or any other LMS? I mean, it is there!

Do you have any plans about improving this. It should be the most obvious feature to report a learners progress to the lms instead of 0 and 1. 

Thanks,

Alexander and David

I second the idea of adding this as a feature. A simple complete/incomplete does very little for me.

Hello Articulate,

I found this discussion because we are experiencing the same issue.  Our courses are about 1 hour long.  We would like to ensure that the user can complete the course in more than one sitting.  Currently, if a user starts our course within our LMS (Absorb), and then leaves before completing the whole thing, they get a pop up with an error message which tells them they will loose all their progress.  It is very important for us to change this, so the progress of the learner is saved, and they can jump back in to the course when they have time.  If you do not have any advice about how to fix this within the course settings, please do add this to your development roadmap, I would see it as a priority.  Thanks so much. 

This is a significant issue for us as well. The only way we've found to get around it right now is to break up courses built in Rise and load each lesson into the LMS separately so that course progress can be measured accurately. But this also means that we have to turn off all of the navigation options, because navigation between Rise lessons doesn't work when they have to be broken up in the LMS this way. This is especially an issue when we need to include a Quiz. It becomes awkward and clunky.

We have much less control over the user experience when we have to break courses up and rely on the LMS for lesson navigation and progress tracking within a course. What this does is render Articulate much less useful to us and makes us lean more towards using Absorb's built-in course creation software, and/or built-in assessment options, so that we don't have to wrestle with the incompatibilities. I understand that LMS companies are trying to drive consumers to their course development software and course development companies are trying to drive consumers to their LMS, but it would be nice to see features on the roadmap that would result in better compatibility between the two. I'm guessing that those of us in this thread are not the only ones who have chosen to use a great course development software and a great LMS that happen to be different brands.
