If the course you have created is intended to be integrated into an LMS, you must distribute it in a format that communicates with the platform and can record certain actions taken by the learner. In addition, even if you cancel your isEazy subscription, your courses will continue to run.
Below we explain the three options available you can select when distributing your course.
SCORM 1.2
This is the most extended version and you can choose between two types of monitoring on the platform:
Monitor by completion: The course will report the visualization progress in the score.raw variable and will send a COMPLETED to the platform when all the content is visualized. If a test has been configured, the user should complete it to send the COMPLETED, but it will not report the score obtained.
Monitor by evaluation: The course will report the mark obtained in the score.raw variable and will send a COMPLETED when the user finalizes and corrects the test. When exporting in this mode the cut-off mark in the manifest as MasteryScore so that the LMS can generate the results as pass or fail. If you have not configured any test, the course will behave as in the completed mode. You can read further about the test in the related article.
SCORM 2004 (3rd edition)
At isEazy we only implement the third edition of this version as it is the most common within SCORM 2004.
For this type of publication there are a number of advanced options if you need to be more specific with the communication between the course and your LMS platform, we recommend the standard use of this configuration to guarantee the correct functioning of the course.
Tincan/xAPI (Enterprise)
It is a communication standard for eLearning, a more open specification than SCORM that allows tracing of online learning activity.
With this type of distribution you can obtain follow-up data similar to those of SCORM 2004 as a percentage of completion and grade, as well as the answers of the final test, if you have configured the evaluation.
You can learn further about it in this article: Tincan/xAPI.
Considerations when distributing your isEazy Author course in your LMS
It is important to note that slides change their identifier if you move them from one project to another. This means that when you do an LMS integration, if during the convocation you want to make a modification to the course because, for example, you want to correct a typo, if you have moved a slide to another project and then bring it back, it will appear as if it were a new slide and it will appear as if it has not been displayed.
We do not recommend splitting, merging or deleting open call course projects.
We especially do not recommend replacing courses distributed with SCORM and integrated into an LMS if they have sequential navigation and there is an alteration in the course structure with new, deleted or reorganized slides.
Students in the course may be affected by the loss of their bookmark or even the blocking of the course and the impossibility to finish it.
We will not be held responsible for problems caused by a substitution in an LMS when such operations have been performed on the project.
