Button to close and record completion status not on last slide

[DinsyPiranha]

Hi People,

I have developed a package where the learner will always be taken back to the Home Page to check their progress. This however, will make it difficult to record that they have completed the package - normally defined by the quiz preferences..

I would like to add a button on the home page which when clicked either sends an in process type code to the LMS or when all sections completed, a completed code.

Ideas please.

TIA

A work flow which I already did use a couple of times for similar use cases:

• Add a button to the home slide, that is hidden in output
• Attach a score (pretty high) to that button
• Make that button visible with an advanced action when all has been done in the course
• User has to click on that button to close, end the course
• Set you completion criteria up so that this score is needed to have a passing score.

Thanks,

I was thinking much the same way. However, there is no quiz in the eLearning (or at least only a knowledge check) so not sure how I will be able to attach a score to that button.

Is there some JavaScript I could use instead?

You don't need a quiz. Each interactive object has a Reporting section, when you check it, you can attach a score. User doesn't have to know that there is a score, it will be just used to set a Passing score, and the result can be used for the Completion criterion.

Found this on another post which I will test:

SCORM_CallLMSSetValue('cmi.core.lesson_status', 'completed');

SCORM_CallLMSCommit();

SCORM_CallLMSFinish();

Thanks

Needs to be a SCO as well... since it is a SCORM call.

Probably why it didn't work:-( Its a normal captivate zipped file.

Indeed, you have to configure your file as a SCO, whether you use my approach with a scored button or the SCORMCall.

To clarify, I am publishing as a SCORM 2004 zipped file from the publish. Our LMS and SCORM CLOUD both recognise the resulting package.

On that basis should the SCORM calls still work? Because they don't appear to.

Sorry, misunderstood. I cannot help you with the SCORM calls, I'm not an expert in SCORM. My button approach worked in several LMS's where I used it, sometimes with 1.2, sometimes with 2004.

[DinsyPiranha]

All good:-) Your button approach was what I was thinking of and you confirmed that. Now to see if I can resolve the other issue. Probably another post after the Xmas break.
