[Xerte] Re: Scorm Trackable question types within Xerte Online Toolkits

[Tom Reijnders]

It is indeed my intention to add much more SCORM tracking to XOT. But 
that won't happen this year. I simply don't have the time at the moment.

Also a problem with SCORM, is that each LMS wants to see different 
things filled in the data store, and some want SCORM2004, and some still 
adhere to the 1.2 standard.

But, I am always interested to learn what you would like to track, and 
how you would do that as an author.

I've got a variant of quiz in the making (that will happen this year), 
that tracks a lot more in the quiz (like the answers given by the 
learner) and this page also enable a kind of review overview, IF the 
SCORM player supports 'review' mode.

The trouble isn't so much 'is this possible?', but more 'how should it be done?' because to make the tracking more granular would mean somehow tracking against the more granular parts (objectives, or interactions) of the SCORM, and that would mean somehow breaking the content up into objectives / interactions to track against, and that is a much more difficult undertaking than simply tracking one score / complete status against the LO itself (obviously). How would an author define objectives / interactions, and then assign interactions to them? Or if it could be automated, how would it be done? And what LMS are you using that allows you to actually get a report on tracking that's more granular than a single score for an LO - if you can't get the data out, there's no point putting it in?
