SCORM courses can be complex, but ultimately fall into two categories for measuring completion:

  1. Number of slide views: The designer can set completion to be triggered based on the number of slides viewed. For this, use the ‘Completed / Incomplete’ status (see the Publish Settings section below).

  2. Quiz pass / fail: Based on the user’s quiz results they will either be passed or failed.

In some cases a course designer might use other methods (such as Javascript triggers) to set completion after an event happens. Whilst SCORM supports this, clients run into lots of issues. For example, courses in which the user must click a small button on the final page that wasn’t labelled correctly or the user must complete a complicated assessment which then causes a huge amount of negative feedback into the client’s helpdesk (We always recommend you avoid this scenario).

Info

Notes:

  • Both 'passed' and 'completed' are terminal statuses. This means as soon as the user reaches either one of these statuses, they are considered complete. If you design the SCORM course to include both of these statuses, you will have more than one completion attempt record for a SCORM course, attributed to each of these statuses. To avoid this, it is strongly advised that you design your SCORM courses to include only one of these statuses.

  • As Fuse only supports SCORM 1.2 (Single SCO), you cannot add separate columns for 'passed' and 'completed' when importing SCORM courses to Fuse using a CSV. See the following FAQ for more information [DRAFT] Can I add separate columns for 'complete' and 'passed'?

  • Fuse supports ‘incomplete’ and ‘failed” statuses when users are taking SCORM courses directly in the Fuse UI, however, Fuse does not support the import of data for users who are ‘incomplete’ or ‘failed’. Therefore we do not recommend entering ‘incomplete’ or ‘failed’ statuses when importing SCORM data to Fuse using a CSV.

Status

Details

Supported? 

'completed' or
'incomplete'

Used for any unscored content where you are tracking completion based on slide views. If the minimum number of slides are viewed, then the user is marked as 'completed'. If not, they are left as "incomplete'.

Yes

'completed'/'passed' or 
'failed'

The 'failed' status is almost the same as 'completed' or 'incomplete', except that if the user doesn't complete the content, they will be marked as 'failed' instead. This option also only reports on the completion status of the course with no score reported.

Yes

'passed' or 
'incomplete'

Used for scored content (quiz) where you want the user to be left in progress if they do not achieve the minimum passing score. If the user achieves the minimum passing score, they are marked as 'completed' or 'passed' with a score. If not, they remain in progress and no score is passed to the LMS, allowing them to try again.

Yes

'passed' or
'failed'

Used primarily for things like compliance or certification activities where you want to record a 'failed' status. If the user achieves the minimum passing score on a quiz, they are marked as 'completed' or 'passed' and their score is displayed. If they do not attain such a score, they are marked as 'completed' or failed with their score. This is especially useful if you want to limit the number of attempts on a learning activity for the purpose of assigning remedial training (in case someone fails).

Administering SCORM courses

...

If you need to upload a new version, you can do so via the Edit content screen, however you need to be aware of the following:

  1. Users who have started and not completed a course may find their course data is corrupted and they are stuck in a loop.

  2. Course progress can be lost.

Info

We recommend that you don't overwrite an existing course, but upload a new version instead. This is another reason why a modern content strategy is the suggested approach.

You can upload a new version of a SCORM in the Update content with a new file section of the Edit content screen. Image Removed

Info

You can control access to SCORM courses by selecting one of the options in the The course requires sign off from section in the Edit content screen. 

...

Info

For information on how to import legacy SCORM data into Fuse, see the SCORM courses tab in the Imports screen. 

To be able to complete this, you will need:

Column Header

Description

user_id

This is the Fuse user ID

content_id

This is the Fuse content ID (SCORM course)

started_at

The date the course was started

completed_at

The date it was completed

cmi.core.lesson_status*

Lesson status must be 'Completed / Incomplete' or 'Completed / Failed'.

cmi.core.score.raw

The users score

cmi.core.score.max

The maximum available score

cmi.core.session_time**

The duration the user was in the SCORM course

Info

* = If your platform records lesson status differently you’ll need to transform the data. The Fuse team is currently working on adding 'Passed / Failed'.

Info

** =  This is historically inaccurate as many systems simply record the time from started through to completed.

Both our reporting engine and Universal Analytics allow you to report on data from the SCORM course:

Modern content strategy

...

There are three levels of assessments that you can implement using Fuse:

  1. Completion (assessment-based): Track completion of a course using either view status or formal assessment. This is the industry standard approach to most assessments today, but this only shows that the user can retain knowledge (in the short term).

  2. Comprehension (task-based): User submits evidence (video, document, audio) of their comprehension. Asks the learner to demonstrate their comprehension of a particular concept, process or skill through a task which is then assessed by their line manager.

  3. Competence (observation-based): Allow a line manager to assess for competence using the Observation tool.

By making use of the assessment tools within Fuse, you are able to pair engaging content with different ways of assessing the learners.
