validate progress without an LMS!
August 8, 2005 12:00 AM
I need to validate users progress (completion) to the end of a course published to HTML but not tracked by an LMS. I understand that I need to set a variable that increments by 1 upon visiting each page. The last page in the course will need to check that the variable is not less than the total number of pages in the course. I see a problem with this method for if the users goes forward and back over a couple of pages more than once then the variable will increment artificially. Perhaps I need to set a different variable for each page, and all of these get checked at the end for "visited" status...? I'm wondering if this is a good idea... I also conscious of the fact that there's no LMS so I'm wondering where could these variables be stored and then eventually checked...? I suspect the presence of an LMS is key to tracking and managing changes to variables on different pages ? if this is the case can anyone suggest a suitable way of validating completion based on progress in the absence of an LMS? The ideas is that based on condition of every page having been visited the last page presents the user with an email address which they contact to confirm completion.thanks in advance for insight !AEdited By: turlon on 38572.2622569444
