[Xerte] Issue with SCORM and Moodle

Tue Nov 9 12:10:15 GMT 2010

As far as I can see, the problem with the spelling was found and 
correccted by your developer. Now for SCORM communication itself, have a 
look at the Quiz page in the Page templates (Interactivity->Quiz). The 
Quiz page has an optional SCORM tracking feature. If you look at the 
resulting Xerte project, there is a script icon that handles the scorm 
communication.

You can use that as a sample. In this case it records the final score in 
a SCORM 1.2 complient datastore.

As far as I can tell, this is the only sample with scorm tracking. So 
you have to add your own scorm tracking in your own templates/learning 
objects if you want that.

(Please correct me, if I am wrong).
