Captivate 5 sending Failed AND Complete data to SumTotal LMS

[bentspoon Media]

Here's the scenario. Client has a pool of 16 questions, and we've
built a Captivate Quiz to shuffle and server up 10 questions at a
time. That's fine. It talks with the SumTotal LMS just fine. The
basics are fine. What we'd like to do, however, is, IF the user fails
(does not achieve greater than a 70% score), Captivate does NOT let
the user retake the quiz, sends the Failed result to the LMS AND lists
the course / quiz as Complete. Currently the course always displays as
Incomplete unless the user passes the quiz.

Thoughts? What simple element of configuring Captivate am I missing?!
Thanks in advance!

Are you using SCORM 1.2 or 2004?  SCORM 1.2 only uses cmi.core.lesson_status, whereas SCORM 2004 uses cmi.success_status and cmi.completion_status.

To my knowledge, Captivate 5's SCORM 2004 code will set cmi.success_status to 'failed' as soon as it's launched, and will not change to 'passed' unless specific criteria are met (in your case, a 70% score on a quiz).  cmi.completion_status will be set to 'incomplete' until the learner has completed the course, at which point it should be set to 'completed', regardless of the value of cmi.success_status. Therefore, you should be able to achieve what you described in your post. I don't think this is possible if publishing using SCORM 1.2.
