Can I use "passed" for a completion status?

[Alan]

I am using the "SCORM wrapper v1.1.7" for flash courses that are
housed in the Inquisiq LMS. The flash course player is coded to give a
"Completed" status when a final assessment is passed.

For various reasons, I need have the flexibility to have some courses
give a "Passed" status instead. I've tried a few code changes and have
failed so far. Eventhough I pass the test, the status is reading "In
Progress".

Am I wasting my time because "Passed" is not an option?

For SCORM 2004, you can set TWO different status fields:
cmi.completion_status can be set to completed, incomplete, not attempted, unknown
cmi.success_status can be set to passed, failed, unknown

For SCORM 1.2, you only have one status field for all those values:
cmi.core.lesson_status: passed, completed, failed, incomplete, browsed, not attempted

See http://www.scorm.com/scorm-explained/technical-scorm/run-time/run-time-reference/

Bear in mind the LMS may overwrite the 'passed' status based on settings specified in the imsmanifest.xml file

Philip,

Thank you for your response. Can I use both of these in the same
player fla:

"cmi.completion_status = completed" (for lesson completion)
"cmi.success_status = passed" (for final quiz completion with a
passing score)

So far, the best I can get is a status of incomplete/passed

If you're using SCORM 2004, yes, you can use both. If you're using the pipwerks wrapper, it would look like this:

scorm.set("cmi.completion_status", "completed");
scorm.set("cmi.success_status", "passed");

However, as I mentioned in my last email, the information in your imsmanifest.xml file can cause the LMS to override the success_status.

For example, the LMS uses satisfiedByMeasure and minNormalizedMeasure (found in imsmanifest.xml) to determine the cmi.scaled_passing_score. Setting satisfiedByMeasure to "true" without supplying a value for imsss:minNormalizedMeasure will cause the LMS to set the passing score to 100%.

If your course has a passing score of 85% and the learner scores 95%, your course will set success_status to 'passed' because 95% meets the 85% requirement. However, the LMS will override the 'passed' status and change the status to 'failed' because 95% is below the 100% requirement implied by setting satisfiedByMeasure to 'true' without supplying a value for imsss:minNormalizedMeasure.

In this case, changing satisfiedByMeasure to 'false' will instruct the LMS to leave success_status alone.
