1. 1. The LMS365 | SCORM & AICC Player Add-in

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is used for creating units of online training material that can be shared across systems. SCORM defines how to create objects that can be reused in different systems and contexts.

It is created based on several public standards and is followed by major e-Learning actors like NETg, Macromedia, Microsoft, Skillsoft, etc. It acts on three levels:

• − Economic level: SCORM allows whole courses or small content units to be reused on different Learning Management Systems (LMS) through the separation of content and context.

• − Pedagogic level: SCORM integrates the notion of pre-requisite or sequencing (e.g. “You cannot go to chapter 2 until you pass Quiz 1”).

• − Technological level: SCORM generates a table of contents as an abstraction layer situated outside the content and the LMS. It helps the content and LMS communicate with each other. Communication is performed by means of bookmarks (“Where is John in the course?”), scoring (“How did John pass the test?”) and time (“How much time did John spent in chapter 1?”).

LMS365 is compliant with Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee (AICC) educational standard as well.

The LMS365 | SCORM & AICC Player Add-in is an add-in that provides users with a list of SCORMs and AICCs along with their statuses, which allows monitoring progress in passing SCORMs and AICCs. It allows uploading content packages, gives Learners access to SCORMs and AICCs, and also allows them to view, review, continue, and delete their attempts.

• − Description – defines a descriptive text that will help site visitors use the resource. Enter description text for the uploaded content package;

• − Allowed number of Attempts per User – specify the number of attempts a user can take the content package (default value is set to 1);

• − Timeout between attempts – specify the period between attempts (can be specified in seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks);

• − Open Player in separate window – select this option to open SCORM & AICC Player in a separate window. If the option is unselected, Player will be opened on the same page.

• − Show statistics for learner – select this option to show the result page after completing the SCORM attempt;

• − Show node completion status - select this option to display the current completion status of SCORM items;

• − Use control mode flow for all nodes – this option is selected by default for sequencing control flow. It is used for a better end-user experience with different kinds of SCORM packages. If this option is selected, after attempting to take the SCORM, you will be redirected right to the SCORM (questions or description if there is any). If the option is not selected, the sequencing flow may be violated for the SCORMS where the control flow is set to False by default. The corresponding message will appear. The SCORM content is to be selected manually on the Tools menu. Select/do not select this option depending on how you want to implement the sequencing;

• − Treat complete as passed – select this option to consider the complete status as passed;

If “Go to next SCO element automatically” option is checked, the system automatically moves to the next SCO element if the element is intermediate.

If the system receives from LMSFinish Positive status (completed/passed), it automatically moves to the next SCO element. If the system receives another status, nothing happens.

• − Allow user to resume incomplete attempt if SCORM Completion Status ='No' – this option allows users continue an incomplete attempt when SCORM completion status ='No'. Some SCORM packages set this status immediately when starting a SCORM resulting in New Attempt button being displayed to the Learner instead of Continue button;

• − Submit result to LMS asynchronously – select this option to allow Content Package to send results to the server asynchronously in order not to interrupt proceeding the attempt;
