SCORM 2004 (3rd) versus 1.2 reporting

I have created 2 test files in 2004 (3rd ed) and 1.2, testing for complete/incomplete and then 2 test files in both versions for pass/fail for a new LMS.

Reporting comes back on 1.2 where it is successfully capturing cmi.core.lesson_status (“passed”, “completed”, “failed”, “incomplete”, “browsed”, “not attempted”, RW).

However, this is not the case for 2004 using cmi.completion_status (“completed”, “incomplete”, “not attempted”, “unknown”, RW) and cmi.success_status (“passed”, “failed”, “unknown”, RW). The LMS is returning cmi.core.lesson_status (“passed”, “completed”, “failed”, “incomplete”, “browsed”, “not attempted”, RW) however, according to scorm.com, this is not even a variable in 2004.

Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to prevent this?

  • Hello Linda,

    Happy to chime in!

    Can I ask what problem is the parameter cmi.core.lesson_status=browsed causing for your reporting?

    Different learning standards can report completion and success statuses differently to an LMS, so its important to find one that works best for you. You can check out this article for tips on which reporting option to select for your course: 

    Additionally, you'll also want to test how your course behaves when uploaded to a different LMS to see if the completion statuses you are getting are consistent across LMSs. Are able to observe the same variable in SCORM Cloud as well?

    Looking forward to your response!

      Thank you for your reply.

      Technical team told me that the 2004 (3rd) is returning the parameter cmi.core.lesson
