Introducing the SCORM Actions

The SCORM actions provide the key functions for creating a SCORM-conformant publication for use in elearning via an online Learning Management System.

 

Initialize SCORM

Trigger this at the beginning of every SCORM publication to start the communication with the LMS. It is mandatory to call this once and only once in a SCORM-conformant package.

Set SCORM Value

Allows you to send a specific piece of text or number, or data from any Opus variable to a specific SCORM data model in the LMS. You can choose SCORM1.2 or SCORM 2004 values or you can type in a custom data model name.

SCORM Commit

This action allows you to update the LMS as you progress so that if the connection is lost the LMS has the most recent information for that user. This is particularly important when using SCORM on mobile devices.

SCORM FInish

Trigger this at the exit point of every SCORM publication to finalise the communication with the LMS. It is mandatory to call this once and only once in a SCORM-conformant package. Make sure you have finished communicating other values – such as score and progress – befor ending the communication.
