Publishing test as SCORM 2004 to Ilias

mkia

Hi,

I've been playing with the test I created for our course since Monday. Actually...I've been playing with trying to publish it to our LMS. Unfortunately, our LMS is Ilias or shall we call it thecompletetorture LMS.

All modules up to now I've published as SCORM 1.2...and everything worked just fine, so I tried to do the same with the test...but...it showed some weird mistakes which are in the attachment.

After digging the Forum's Archive i found out that there might be a problem with the size of the test and that it's better to publish it as SCORM 2004. Well, even though I don't really understand the difference in publishing and using AICC_Lesson Status for 1.2 and CMI_Completion status for 2004 I did everything as suggested...and at the end, I tried to publish my test and see how it works.

Boy I was happy to see the result... Ilias, thetortureLMS, that showed my test published as SCORM 1.2 with error messages didn't want to recognize it as 2004.  It showed...nothing.And yes...I imported the file as scorm 2004. I did that again with my IT...i built a new module with just 2 pages to test the basics and nothing...

I also tried importing 2004 version as 1.2 into Ilias and then actually something could be seen...like first two pages with missing entry boxes...

I tried another suggestion from the forum which is using JS to shut down the error in 1.2...didn't work.

 

Is this problem familiar to anyone...?:)) Or when you read this sad story can you think of what you would do in my place?

...I'm ready to experiment since there is basically nothing else I could do and I just have to make it work..:))

Here's some "light" reading on the differences between Scorm packages: http://scorm.com/scorm-explained/business-of-scorm/scorm-versions/

Can you give an explanation of the test? Are you using custom test results?  What settings do you have selected in your Title Options? Do you have any scripts in the course?

Thanks for the link...:) useful!!

And yes, I'm using everything that Lectora has to offer...custom test results, no scripts in the test, title options AICC/SCORM checked, and everything else unchecked.

 

When I publish the test as SCORM1.2 everything works if I turn off the error mistake. The test goes to the end...shows points points to the certificate if the score is above certain level or to the end if not.  However, the LMS doesn't' report the score just passed/not passed...

Hmmm....what if you try adding an action to the last page that says to modify the score to the score variable.  Maybe this will prompt the system to report it. Can you share your files?

mkia

well...i modified the content so it's acceptable for sharing.

i tried to publish it again (with this modified test option) and hurray!! I got through the whole test without the error message until the very end (it is in the attachment as well).

Upon publishing, LMS said "Bravo! You've passed the test and completed everything" but it didn't show my wonderful 90% score, it showed standard 100.

It looks like you don't have "Include test score in overall score" checked in the Test Results ribbon. Without that checked it won't send the final score back to the LMS.

That's because I got the message that refers to the passed/not passed page: "There is a Modify Variable action on this page that modifies the AICC_Score variable. Any modifications to the score may be lost when the student completes a test within this course."

However, I've just tried it...and I still got the same LMSSetValue Error plus the LMS recognized the score as 100.

Oh, I see your issue now.

On the "last test page" you have two actions: Process Test and a GoTo. You only need the Process Test. The Process Test action will check each of the questions, score it, check the score against the passing score, send you to the passed or failed page depending on your score, and then send your score and status to the LMS.

Because you have both actions it's tripping up the LMS and trying to submit the data twice.

You should be able to remove the ModifyVar AICC_Score actions from your passed/failed pages as well.

mkia

!!!!!!! Yesss!! now it shows no error message...but it still doesn't show the true result only 100%.

But...I love you just for this "no error".

Update your Test Score action on the "you passed" page so that the Change Contents action has the "value" set to "AICC_Score".

mkia

I've tried that and it still doesn't show the overall score but the LMS at least provides an option to see which answers were correct/wrong...and the option is working.

The problem I have now is that when a user takes a test and fails it's not possible to retake it. All check boxes are blocked?? Even during the test if a user would go back to correct an answer it is also not possible.

Do you have the "Enable Max Attempts" checkboxes selected for the questions?

Dear Support person(s), I love you!! For real...<3!!!
