AICC version in exported .CRS file
November 2, 2005 12:00 AM
when publishing an AICC course from Lectora (2004 sp3), the default version in the .CRS file is 3.0.1. when we import this into our LMS (SumTotal/Docent 6.5) the launch URL strikes me as odd.here's an example: https://learningsys.usa.wachovia.net/ns-bin/docentnsapi/lms, app1,2151/SQ N%3D-76165630/?CMD=GET&file=catalog/aicc/aicc_frameset.jsm&a icc_sid=3032 661%2CA001&lessonURL=wb_content%2Faicc1334%2Fa001index.html& courseCreato r=Wachovia&systemVendor=Trivantis%20Lectora%20Professional%2 0Publishing% 20Suite%20v.2004%20SP2c(1688)&version=3.0.1&scorm_url_base=h ttps%3A%2F%2 Flearningsys.usa.wachovia.net%3A443&isSCORM=0&server_scheme= https&server _realport=443 notably absent from this is the "aicc_url" parameter. if i change the version in the .CRS file to 2 then the LMS gives it a "proper" launch URL that contains the "aicc_url" parapeter: https://learningsys.usa.wachovia.net/wb_content/aicc1334/lms default.htm? aicc_sid=3032659%2CA001&aicc_url=learningsys.usa.wachovia.ne t%2Fns-bin%2 Fdocentnsapi%2Flms%2Capp1%2C2151%2FSQN%3D-76165634%2CCMD%3DG ET%2Cfile%3D aicc_catcher.jsm%2CSVR%3Dpldd005.csm.fub.com%3A48673%2CSID%3 DPLDD005.CSM .FUB.COM%3A48673-A9CA-2-B1FD32EA-00BDB3E0%2F the bad url is the exact same format as for a SCORM course it seems. here is the url for one of those from our LMS. https://learningsys.usa.wachovia.net/ns-bin/docentnsapi/lms, app1,2151/SQ N%3D-76110480/?CMD=GET&file=catalog/aicc/aicc_frameset.jsm&a icc_sid=3032 670%2CA1&lessonURL=wb_content%2Fciw_phase2%2FSOTR0390%2Fdefa ult.htm&vers ion=3.5&scorm_url_base=https%3A%2F%2Flearningsys.usa.wachovi a.net&isSCOR M=1&server_scheme=https&server_realport=443 i'm really starting to think that we have a buggy LMS here. looks like it has a bug where aicc content imported as version 3 is launched as SCORM!is the LMS handling this right? i don't think so since lectora can't handle the bad url at all. thanks!
