Moodle

Hi Andrea,

there isn't any funding allocated to SCORM maintenance at the moment - if you trace this issue yourself and provide a SCORM object that allows us to reproduce it that would help, otherwise it's unlikely we will have the time to look into this further at this stage.

thanks,

Dan

Dan, I can send you a download link. Please drop me an email with your address,

heh.... a download link probably isn't going to help much at this stage - unless you've found what is required to fix the issue and are just giving me a SCORM object that allows me to reproduce it and see that the fix works? - I don't have time to look at this and debug it sorry! - unless there's funding to allow us to spend time on it!

Can you confirm, the issue does not occur in the user report - it only occurs in the report available in the SCORM module itself?

I just tested a basic SCORM 1.2 package using 1.9.5+ with same settings, and found that mod/scorm recorded multiple attempts, and the mod/scorm report shows multiple attempts (i.e., one table row per attempt for a student). I'd be interested in testing the Articulate LO and have just sent you an email.

In general, it can to identify issues by enabling developer debugging in Moodle and checking for errors in the SCORM Debugging interface's SCORM API Activity Log.

Can you confirm that the "Start a new attempt" checkbox is appearing when students return to the SCORM LO activity AND that students are selecting it before re-entering the course?

Hi Jonathan,

great to see you've got some free time to spend on this! - I suspect it could be related to this issue here:
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-18054

there's also this one that seems specific to Articulate objects:
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19283

Hi Jonathan,

on the scorm structure page I found the checkbox. If a student select it the number of attempt in the SCORM moudle report increases. So the number of attemtp looks like it is recorded but:

1. there is no way to check the box unless the scorm structure page is displayed
2. the attempt report in the SCORM module for a student only shows the last attempt. If the checkbox cannot be selected because the scorm structure is not displayed, a new attempt should probably be started in case the previous is complete.
3. gradebook seems to store the status of the last attempt, so if a student did 2 attempt, the first complete and the second incomplete the student scores 0 for a single LO scorm.
4. also the User report always shows the status of the last attempt.

I'm arranging a download for you.

Hi Jonathan,

we got the result of some more tests. As far as we can understand the only issues still open are:

1. In case the scorm structure page is not displayed, a student cannot select "new attempt" checkbox, thus a new attempt should probably be automatically started in case the previous is complete, or the student warned.
2. the user Complete report always shows the last attempt status

Hi Andrea,

We've added some new settings to Moodle 2.0 which will hopefully help "Force completed", "Force new attempt" and "Lock after final attempt - these can't be backported into 1.9stable as they require DB scheme changes.

unfortunately in some cases we can't do much about it - see here for more detail about handling of multiple attempts:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/SCORM_FAQ#Handling_of_Multiple_Attempts

hope that explains things/helps.
