Why does captivate 5 scorm 2004 change the pass/fail status when using complete/incomplete

SUMMARY:  I am trying to use SCORM 2004 reporting but I am finding out ADOBE does not diffentiate between COMPLETE/INCOMPLETED and PASSED/FAILED variables in the SCORM 2004.
RESULT: I can not accurately get the passing/failing status from the course.
QUESTION: Is their anything I can do or does ADOBE have a patch they have release which will accurately report the passed/failed STATUS as well as the completed/incompleted status.
OTHER RESEARCH: I even attempted to post these "proofs" on scorm.com and they have something called "SATISFACTION TRACKED" to accomodate content creation systems (CAPTIVATE 5) which does not follow the standards of SCORM 2004.
BACKGROUND:  the report status "Incomplete/Complete" and "Pass/Fail" under the publishing options for SCORM 2004 essentially mean the same thing when the CAPTIVATE COURSE sends setvar commands to the SCORM API...  In other words the SCORM API receives the same exact commands when publishing in both modes.  "THIS IS WRONG"
why is the wrong?  IF REPORTING; incomplete/complete ;  the CAPTIVATE 5 COURSE SHOULD NOT "change" the STATUS OF PASS/FAIL when attempting to report COMPLETE/INCOMLETE with 100% slide views.
DEMO #3> SHOWS THE PROBLEM
About DEMO #1 and DEMO #2> these are other reporting options I attempted with other problems arrising..so these images are just for supporting my original problem which is shown in DEMO #3...
DEMO 1 (REPORT STATUS has no affect on reporting):SETTINGS:
PASS: (PROBLEM)
Anything above Passing Score is not recorded to LMS (once passing is reached...no more bookmarks are recorded)
FAIL: (CORRECT)
Failure gets sent to the database on the last screen with "completed"
DEMO 2 (Report status  [Complete/Incomplete  Pass/Fail]   has no impact on commands sent to scorm api):
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
NOTHING GETS SENT TO DATABASE (stuck in final score screen forever)...because it says "INCOMPLETE"
DEMO 3:
Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database with a 90% passing with "completed"
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
LAST SLIDE SENDS "completed" but GETS SENT AS A PASSING SCORE??? even when it is a failure
(IN OTHER WORDS ADOBE CHANGES THE PASS/FAIL STATUS based on slide views...
this is WRONG ....REALLY WRONG becuase I am trying to report
"COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE" for 100% slide views
PASS/FAIL OPTIONS:
OPTION I CAN PURSUE?
SO WHAT CAN I DO?  YES, I CAN TELL THE LMS...to COMPARE THE SCORE RECEIVED DURING A "COMPLETE" status...and then change the grade in the LMS based on the SCORE IN THE LMS...BUT THAT WOULD MEAN THE LMS COULD REPORT ONE GRADE and the COURSE COULD REPORT A DIFFERENT GRADE....and that would not be good.
ALL OF OUR COURSES SHOW THE STUDENT THE FINAL SCORE WITHIN EACH COURSE..
QUESTION TO ADOBE?
SO ADOBE when are you going to differentiate these two reporting options so that the PASS/FAIL OPTIONS ARE ACCURATELY REPORTED WHEN USING COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE?
MORE INFORMATION
HERE IS THE SCORM.COM "Satisfaction" adjustment (very last line) to accomodate inconsistent reporting in CAPTIVATE 5.

CAPTIvATE 5 cmi.completion_status
and cmi.success_status does not work independently with scorm 2004.  they both share the same definition.  These two field were designed to help differentiate the difference between a passing or failing score and when the course is actually completed.   WITH CAPTIVATE 5 they do not differentiate the two.  COMPLETE means PASS and INCOMPLETE means fail..
I was trying to use "completion_status" as a way to determine when all slides were shown.  So that I can send the final score (PASS/FAIL) the LMS after all slides were viewed and this was the absoluted score the student recieved.

Hi,
Here's something I found in a similar situation... hope this helps!
After publishing your CP5 project as a SCORM 2004 zip file, unzip the file so you can get into the separate files.  Open the imsmanifest.xml file with a text editor; I like using Notepad++.  Search for the line starting with <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>.  The complete line will probably look like <imss:minNormalizedMeasure></imss:minNormalizedMeasure>, this is the line that is supposed to contain your passing score (at least for our LMS).  So, if your passing score is supposed to be 80%, edit this line to be:  <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>0.80</imsss:minNormalizedMeasure> and save the file.  Then select all the files and re-zip them, I use 7-zip for that.
I found one other weird thing that doesn't happen 100% of the time, so test it.  In the example above, try to get a score of exactly 80% (or whatever passing grade you are using) and see if you get the correct status reported.  I found I sometimes have to re-edit that line in the manifest file to be 0.79 so it correctly includes an exact 80% score.  No idea why and you have to watch the number of questions in your quiz to make sure that works for you mathematically.
If this works or not, I'd recommend posting your results so others can get some ideas.  Good Luck!!

  • Why does Captivate have to convert all the PPTX slides when I only want two?

    Hello friendly people : ) ,
    I often import Power Point slides into my Captivate projets.  Even when I only want two slides from a large Power Point presentation, Captivate converts every slide, and this of course, take quite a bit of time.  Is there any way around this? 
    Thank you.
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    How Captivate does import is, it fetches all the PPT/PPTX source content in the import process and then produces the Selection box where you can choose what all slide you want to bring in and then on proceeding it converts those slides to Cp compatible Slide structure and introduces them at the stated slide location.
    What, I understand (Looking at your other thread) you do not link and re-import all slides after making any small change. So, if these modifications are being made by same individual on same machine, he can simply right click and edit the presentation from PowerPoint and save it to bring all the changes (this can be done without switching to linked in library).
    Thanks,

  • Why does my video clip show in the program monitor only when it is playing (the program monitor is blank otherwise)?

    I am using WIndows 7 64 bit, and the most recent version of Premiere Pro CC on an I7 machine with 8GB of memory.  I have imported a HD .mov clip and placed it on the timeline.  When I press 'Play', it shows in the Program Monitor window.  When I stop the playing, the window goes blank.  I have rendered the clip (it has a yellow bar above it).  Even after rendering, the yellow bar remains and the sequence only displays when it is playing.  The source monitor has the same behavior. 
    Not being able to see where I am in a clip is making editing very difficult.  I have used Premiere Elements for five years, I have taken the Lynda.com course, so I have some familiarity with the program that suggests that the frame at the point of the CTI should show in the program and source monitors.
    What do I need to do to be able to see the frame in the monitors when it isn't playing?
    Update:  I spent 35 minutes with Tushar in a technical support chat (case number: 0186148124), during which time we deleted the contents of the Media cache folder in C:/Users/Your User Account/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common file (after using task manager to close coresync32.exe and creativecloud32.exe) and renamed both the Adobe folder and the 8.0 folder in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0.  This didn't get it, but was necessary for the next step:
    Going to the File menu, Project Settings, and selecting 'General Settings', Tushar had me change the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only (I don't have a GPU accelerator video card yet).  I received a warning that all previews would be deleted, which I accepted.  That brought the image back to the Program Monitor.
    I've posted this for anyone who may experience a similar challenge in the future.  Despite a lot of Google searching before I contacted Tech Support, I didn't find anything even close to the description of the problem.  I hope this provides that source for future searchers.
    Jeff

    Thanks, Ann.  As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings.  I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem.  The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
    What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument.  I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole.  Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

  • Why does my compiled exe ask for the location of subvis when installed on another computer?

    Hello,
    I have a piece of deployable software I have developed and so I have created two build specifications to produce an .exe file and an installer.
    The build specification for the installer includes the compiled exe and all of the required SubVIs to reside in a sub directory in the install directory and when it installs on another computer the SubVIs are located in the correct place.
    However, when I install and run it on another computer, a dialog box appears prompting for the location of the SubVIs, I select the one that it is asking for and it then loads the remaining VIs and runs as normal.
    Is there something fundamentally I'm missing in the way SubVIs are called after using an installer, or is there a way to bundle them into the .exe/installer so that I don't receive the dialog box?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Sam

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes - but on my computer, I believe the exe is finding the files from the .exe build, rather than the installer location.
    In fact, I just renamed the default build directory (where it places the installer / exe after the build and I get the same dialog - it is looking in C:\LabVIEW Builds\etc.
    rather than...
    C:\Program Files\My Software\subvidirectory
    So maybe it is the problem you suggested Yamaeda? If so - is there a solution/workaround for this?

    To clarify, when I am using Zoom and using three fingers to move around on the notification screen.  The screen goes blank even if I am actively moving my fingers across the screen to read the screen.  Why does the notification screen not recognize active movement and go blank after a peiord of time.  I have very limited sight and rely heavly on SIri, text speak, and Zoom.

  • Change the user/system status when PP order is packed through COPP1

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to set the system or user status for a PP order. The flow is the transaction COPP1 is used to pack the order for different dates. Now there is a button available on the toolbar when the second screen comes and it shows the data for different dates.
    Is there any user exit or badi available to change the user or system status when tcode COPP1 is used. We want to change the status when the order is packed through tcode COPP1.
    Has anyone of you come across such kind of requirement before if yes then guide me how to solve this problem. If there is other way out also let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello,
    I am not aware about COPP1 transaction and fuctionality but production order change (automatic) is possible from Status profile settings. Create a status profile with your desired statuses and assign this to ordey type.

  • Why does my iPod Touch keep changing the date and year?

    Whenever I charge my iPod Touch after it completely dies, Safari never loads whatever site I'm trying to go on and the date always goes to Thursday, January 1st, 1970. I noticed the time always changes as well. i.e. it's 10:47am now and the time on the iPod says 5:35am. I don't know how or why it keeps doing this. I didn't mind it the first 2 times, but this keeps happening everytime I turn it on. Does anyone else's do this??

    Hi eskimoerin,
    reset & software update could fix the problem.
    Don't forget to backup your data from iPod.

  • Why does resaving an unchanged PDF change the size?

    I have a client that sends me a PDF daily. If I take the file I was given, open it in Acrobat Reader XI and re-save it (without making any changes to it), the file size reduces by maybe 20-100kb. How do I determine what is the difference between the 2 files - or what it's doing to make the file smaller?
    I began doing this because if I don't, my PDF processing application (Planet Press) - cannot read the file, but once I open and resave it, it works fine.
    Thoughts?

    It's also possible that the file was damaged and that Reader repaired it. To test for this, open the file, and immediately close it. If there is a prompt to save in this case, it was damaged.

  • Why does it take so long for the iPhone to recognize when space has been freed up for photos?

    The short story:
    I try to take a photo using the built in camera app. I get the dreaded 'no enough storage' message.
    I then delete a bunch of photos, podcasts, etc. effectively freeing up plenty of space to take a photo.
    Nope - iPhone Camera still things there is no space available.
    After some unknown time delay - 10 minutes or more, in many cases, it will FINALLY let me take a photo.
    The longer and more detailed story:
    I know EVERYONE gets this message at one time or another and I know how to resolve it: "Cannot Take Photo - There is not enough available storage to take a photo. You can manage your storage in Settings."
    Fine. I understand that. I'm out of space on my phone (not iCloud, as some users seem to confuse). It's a no brainer - you don't have enough space on your phone to take a new picture. Again - fine, I get that.
    What I DON'T get, and what drives me absolutely NUTS, is that I will then go through my photos and delete a dozen or so that I don't really want, easily freeing up a good 20Mb or more, then when I try to take a photo again, I STILL GET THE out of space MESSAGE! Baloney. I am NO LONGER out of space. iPhone, you incredibly well designed and intelligent piece of hardware, why, for the love of all that is good, can't you figure out that I know have 20Mb free?
    So, then I'll jump over to Podcasts, which I love, but take up lots of room on my phone. I'll delete a few of the large ones I've already listened to, easily freeing up a few HUNDRED MEGABYTES. We should be good to go, right? WRONG. The iPhone genius still tells me I don't even have enough space to eek out one lousy photo.
    If I let my phone sit there long enough -- 10 minutes, 30 minutes, a few hours -- I haven't determined when the magic happens -- eventually the iPhone realizes that 'Hey, the user just deleted a bunch of junk and, wow, I'll be a son of a gun -- there IS enough space now to take a photo. iPhone -- happy!'
    Thanks for nothing, iPhone. By this time, my daughter has stopped doing that amazing cute thing that I wanted to capture forever and quite possibly spawn the next generation of 'Charlie Bit Me' parodies. I freed up 500 Mb of prime photo snapping space 20 minutes ago. Thanks for finally realizing it. I realize you can only do like 170 quadrillion calculations a millisecond. I realize these things take time.
    Can one of you iPhone engineers please, for goodness sake, please explain to me why this INFURIATING and seemingly unnecessary delay exists? I am no Windows fan boy but I can sure tell you that when I'm running low on hard drive space on my laptop and then delete 1GB of files, that 1GB INSTANTLY becomes available to me. I don't have to wait some interminable timeframe until it magically is usable.
    One last thing that is puzzling -- so the native iPhone camera will refuse to let me take a photo because it things we're out of space (when we're not) but any third party photo app, like Camera+ or Camera Awesome, will happily snap pictures all day long. In fact, once I've taken them using one of these apps, I can then SAVE THEM TO THE CAMERA ROLL!
    By the way -- when I started this well thought out rant, my iPhone said it was out of storage, and now, five minutes later -- you guessed it -- still out of storage, despite the fact that I deleted 10 photos and 4 podcasts.
    So. Incredibly. Infuriating.
    For you iOS 7 users, please let me know if this issue has been resolved at all with iOS 7. I've held off upgrading because iOS 7 messed up a bunch of things with the camera, at least on my wife's iPhone 5. Focus no longer works reliably -- touch to focus and touch to expose no longer work well -- the quality of photos took a big hit. I won't update until these issues have been resolved.

    Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
    I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
    Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
    I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
    Thanks for chiming in.

  • Why does my 3GS get stuck at the "accessory connected" screen when I connect it to my car via USB?

    I realize that the old app is now the music app. I dislike this new app, because an old function is now gone
    With iOS 4.3.5, I used to be able to use the the USB hub in my car to charge my iPhone 3GS. It would show the screen that says accessory connected (with the image of an iPod), and then after a few seconds, it would select Hands Free Mode (connect through Bluetooth), and I could browse my music/playlists/etc. Now when I connect my iPhone to my car via the dock connector, all it does is stay at the screen which displays an image of an iPod, and the only action that I have available to me is to choose between dock connector And hands free. I choose hands free, but still, I am no longer free to select which music I want to have playing.
    When I disconnect the phone from the USB connection, I am free to select my music, but I must leave it disconnected, because when I reconnect it, the music stops playing, and it goes back to that screen. There isn't even a clear way to get music to start playing on the phone when it is stuck on that screen.
    Can the functionality of the music app be restored to that of the old app? I drive a lot, so I charge my phone through the USB connection in my car, and my phone is also my source of music, through the Bluetooth connection (as previously stated). I can no longer charge my phone and select/play music as I once could with 4.3.5 and the iPod application. I don't see anything that i can do from a user's standpoint, however, of anyone can help with this very specific issue, it would be much appreciated.

    Try resetting the phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Seems too early for an iPhone battery to fail. If the problem persists Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • What is property that contains the pass/fail status(UUT Result) of my main sequence ?

    Test Engineering
    Empower RF Systems Inc.

    Hi Mal,
    In general, in TestStand you use a step type that can use the Sequence Adapter in order to call a sequence (named subsequence in this context). The MainSequence is called from within the ProcessModel execution entry-points ('Test UUTs' and 'Single Pass' sequences in the TestStandModel.seq) when you launch the execution from "Execute->Test UUTs" or "Execute->Single Pass" menu or directly by the engine when you start an Interactive execution by selecting "Execute->Run MainSequence" menu option.
    In the first case, after the sequence call step executes, the Sequence Adapter can set the step status. So, finally the property that contains the status of Main Sequence is a subproperty of the SequenceCall step that in the ProcessModel execution entry-points is named "MainSeque
    nce Callback". The lookup string for this property depends from where you want to access it. For example :
    a) if it's from a step you add as part of the Execution entry-points customization, then the lookup string for the property should be "RunState.Sequence.Main["MainSequence Callback"].Result.Status"
    b) if it's from a step in the MainSequence, then the lookup string for the property should be "RunState.Caller.RunState.Sequence.Main["MainSequence Callback"].Result.Status" but special consideration should be taken if the MainSequence is run in Interactive mode, since the "RunState.Caller" property doesn't exist in this case.
    In the second case the sequence status isn't available (see above).
