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

[Ron Mitchell]

Yeah hope the trip to Philly has proved worthwhile!

 

I'd make the following comments about labels.

 

Sounds like a good plan to have plain text only labels for tracking etc

Obviously needs to work with existing projects without needing loads of
manual edits e.g. authors should only need to edit/rename when they want the
management/tracking benefits of doing so.

Ideally we should have a way of visually showing in the tree/editor what
icons/fields aren't shown on the pages of the LO and only used for tree
clarity and tracking purposes etc

Does this have implications for the other project templates too? I know we
don't have tracking etc in those but for consistency/clarity e.g. new users
are often confused about the icons/fields in the other templates and which
are tree only and which appear on pages.

I don't see any problem with that Tom. I hope you guys are having a good
time at the conference!

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

 

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
