Trying to Learn About Variables and How and When to Set?
December 1, 2009 12:00 AM
When working with SCORM 1.2, the only variable you really ever have to set is the AICC_Lesson_Status variable and that would be anywhere in your title where you want to indicate the user has completed the course. The most common value for this completed, all lowercase as someone mentioned above. Some LMS' like the value passed as well. That should be all you have to worry about. Lectora handles all the other values for you automatically.
For SCORM 2004, then you need to use the CMI_Completion_Status variable to determine completion and that value is usually set to completed as well. The AICC_Lesson_Status variable for SCORM 2004 acts as the cmi.success_status which is usually set to passed or failed.

Hello Everyone!
I have a question(s) and was hoping that you could point me in the right direction. {By the way, I’m fairly new at creating SCORM courseware } I created a SCORM course using Lectora. After uploading to NetDimensions EKP LMS, I ran the lesson. I received several errors but let’s just look at one of them: “LMSSetValue Error: cmi.core.lesson_status to [Completed]Incorrect Data Type”. I’m assuming that this came about because I created an action in Lectora on my last page that said to set the status to ‘Completed’ when the lesson was done.
Which brings me to my question(s): How do I know what to set the parameters for, when I should set them, how to set them etc.? I see the syntax in the document that NetDimesions sent me (for this variable and others) but I’m not sure when, how, why, I am setting these parameters. Am I supposed to set them during the course when I’m working within Lectora (if so, when, where, and to what)? Is it something that I should be setting on the LMS side? Thanks again!
