AICC- and SCORM-compliant learning management systems

The Flash learning interactions and quiz templates allow easy communication with both AICC- and SCORM-compliant LMSs. The code built into both the Flash documents and the corresponding HTML/JavaScript files send properly formatted data to the LMS. The stand-alone interactions send question data, while the quiz templates track the score and overall time spent.

Because of differences between the two tracking standards (AICC and SCORM), the files created with the Flash learning interactions and the quiz templates have compliance differences.

To be SCORM-compliant, content must call an initialize command when it is first started, or before any other tracking commands are sent to the LMS. The Flash with SCORM HTML template was designed to initialize communication with a SCORM-compliant LMS when the file is loaded. It also sends a finish communication to the LMS when the file is unloaded, if the finish command wasn’t explicitly sent previously.

Files created by using both the Flash learning interactions and the quiz templates can send tracking data to an AICC- and SCORM-compliant LMS. Individual interactions do not send overall score and tracking data, but they can send interaction or question data.

Files created by using the quiz templates to comply with either AICC or SCORM standards do not read data from the LMS into the Flash file.
