[Xerte-dev] Tracking and the use of labels/names in sub-pages like questions and options

[Tom Reijnders]

Hi all,

There are some inconsistencies and I think misunderstandings about the 
usefullness of labels to name items in the page tree of the Nottingham 
template. I want us to agree on the use of those, before I go over all 
the interactivities again to add them.

1. First of all, these labels were added to make authoring/maintenance 
easier, i.e. to give a label to the tree nodes of the tree. So if you 
have a quiz with 5 questions, you can quickly identify the questions by 
labeling them.
2. I noticed that for the tracking code, it's also very usefull to have 
these labels in place, and to use these instead of for eaxmple the 
questions and/or option texts themselves. There are two reasons for that:
      - The questions and options (and other elements) can be html5 
formatted, and SCORM and xAPI do not particularly like html5 formatted 
texts.
      - Sometimes thte questions and/or options (or any other elements) 
consist of only an image, and I cannot use that for tracking.

So I would like to propose to add labels to facilitate authoring (or 
more specifically make maintenance of the content easier) and also use 
these labels in the tracking code.

Any comments/additions/objections/alternatives are very welcome!

Regards,

Tom
