Hi Tom
just a quick note to say I tested the 1.2 and 2004 export options earlier today and imported as scorm into a Moodle 2.2.1

Both seemed to work well! This was a simple 5 page test LO with a quiz added at the end just to test that functionality.

In Moodle viewing the results of a student viewing the LO and completing the quiz the  view of interactions (pages) works best via Scorm 2004 as each page result is showed in a separate row whereas with 1.2 it's all shown under 1 row of cmi.comments but as you say still more info than tracked previously.

The only odd thing I noticed from my tests so far is that under general data 1.2 Status showed as passed whereas 2004 showed status as incomplete. Not sure if that's an error or not but why would that differ between 1.2 and 2004?

HTH

It makes sense for quizzes, but not for some of the other page types.

Also, you can make this as complicated as you want, but in the end, it has to be intuitive to the teacher/lerarning speciaist who creates the LO.

I can imagine that we add an optional weight parameter to all interactions, then you could even create 'exercise quizzes' inside an LO.

So, summarizing, for the first release, I am not too keen to add all kinds of bells and whistles. In my opinion it is a lot simpler to use, than it was before, and it tracks a lot more data (not even sure at he moment if that's a blessing).

The way I implemented though gives you MUCH opportunities to play with the plugin structure you created.  The html5 and the flash rlm's use a javascript API to do the tracking, which at the moment is pretty straightforward.  The actual tracking is done in separate javascript classes. With the plug-ins, you can imagine building tracking classes targeted at a very specific LMS.

I will write op some documentation on this hopefully, before R2-Day...
