[Xerte] Re: Moodle, scorm and Xerte (Tom Reijnders)

Hi Ron, 

I accessed XOT via http://www.techdisplayxerte.info/ I admit to getting
slightly confused with all the different versions/types of Xerte that
are available, but that was the one I used to export the Scorm zip as it
seemed to be easier to do it there than in the stand-alone version.

Thanks for your responses.

We do like the look of Xerte, but it is hard to find any resources on
the whole Scorm thing.

Janine

Thanks Ron, I eventually found this earlier post.
I only downloaded Xerte last Friday, so I'm assuming it's a recent
version, and the XOT I used was the online one that you just log into.
As far as I can tell after a quick check the latest XOT and Xerte
downloads
have apiwrapper.js named all lowercase so is it possible the online
installation you used was an older version? If it was the Techdis
Sandpit
that should be fine but let me know if that was what you used?

So I changed the name of the apiwrapper file and that now works fine,
thanks. 
Good.

I have more questions though! The quiz allows either the first or last
score to be tracked (SCORM) - what does that mean exactly? The users
first or last attempt is scored? Or the last question is scored? When I
tested it in Moodle, I scored 1/2 but Moodle tracking didn't give me a
score of 50 as I expected...?
As far as I understand it the first score option will only track the
first
attempt whereas the last score option will track the last attempt.
There are various moodle options for how results are scored you may have
to
try different options to get the scoring you require.

I found some youtube vids you posted so will watch those and hopefully
that will help also.
They may not. I still need to find time to record a 3rd screencast on
this
particular topic and just haven't found time yet. I'll upload to youtube
but
it will be easier to find via http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte

Our team are really looking for a platform to churn out some LO's that
are Scorm compliant and can be used in Moodle, is it only the quiz that
can be tracked by Scorm?
You should see from Julian's reply to a similar question - yes at the
moment
it's only the quiz that has any score/scorm tracking but developers can
obviously add tracking to other page types or bespoke content.

Are you using an old version of Xerte/XOT?
Looking at your example it looks like the apiwrapper.js issue see copy
of
previous post with instructions below:

questionnaire (scorm) in Moodle - problem resolved

OK I did some further checking and here are my conclusions/comments....

1. When using the test suite with an LO stored locally you must set the
Flash Player Global Security Settings to allow that path otherwise
LMSSetvalue etc doesn't register. With the path set e.g.
http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/img/tgrab-rX.png then with Nuri's LO the
setvalue
is shown in the test suite e.g.
http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/img/tgrab-fF.png

2. However the LO imported as Scorm into Moodle wasn't storing scores in
the
Moodle gradebook and yet I had previous LO's from 2007 which were!
Wasted
loads of time tracking down what turned out to be a very simple
solution!
Having found the cause solution I think as punishment either Julian or
Pat
or both should write 1000 lines: camelcasing bad - lowercasing good! ;-)

Line 3 of scormRLO.htm revealed the problem. I tracked back through
early
versions of toolkits and at some point apiwrapper.js turned into
APIWrapper.js whereas line 3 of scormRLO.htm seems to have always
referred
to apiwrapper.js

So I guess on case insensitive systems this hasn't been a problem but I
suspect most Moodle installations are running with case sensitivity.
There
are lots of different ways of changing that (file system, mod_spelling,
mod_rewrite etc) but that would be a bit drastic! So easiest solution
change
APIWrapper.js to apiwrapper.js or change line 3 of scormRLO.htm to point
to
APIWrapper.js

I think the easiest is to change APIWrapper.js to apiwrapper.js and to
fix
this for future exports from your XOT installation change the file in
yourtoolkitsinstall\modules\xerte\scorm\ APIWrapper.js

To fix any existing scorm LO's already imported into Moodle visit the
files
area in your course, open the moddata\scorm folder and then the folder
representing the relevant scorm LO e.g. moddata\scorm\4\ and rename
APIWrapper.js to apiwrapper.js

We are currently using Moodle 1.9.7 and yes I'm happy to share the zip,
it
is just a simple 1 question Xerte for testing with our Moodle.

Thanks
