If you are using Opus for elearning you will probably be using Opus to create individual "lessons" in an elearning course which is managed by a Learning Management System or LMS.
Some of the information that is passed between the LMS and the Opus publication (and vice-versa) changes as a result of the learner interacting with the lesson. Therefore, you must ensure when building your Opus SCORM publication that you pass the information back to the LMS. For example, if the learner takes a test, then the LMS needs to know the result of the test and if the learner completes the lesson the LMS needs to be told.
Although we have provided the actions for ensuring that the information is recorded in the LMS accurately so that it is compliant with the SCORM guidelines, we cannot know exactly how you intend to build your lesson. Therefore we have created a number of functions that simply allow you to transfer information from the LMS variables (called data models) and the Opus variables. Which Opus variable you use is up to you. But you must ensure that the data you are sending from an Opus variable is the right type.
Use the Get SCORM Value action to get information FROM the LMS to use in your publication such as the learner’s name.
Use the Set SCORM Value action to send information TO the LMS to reflect what has happened in the lesson – such as the score for a quiz.
