Within here, you can edit some of the properties of your eLearning package:

Image Added

• Show Navigation Bar (needs to be enabled for any of the below)
• Finish button (hard exit of "Return to LMS" button) - if this doesn't show, it needs to be done in authoring software
• 'Close SCO' button - determines if the "Close Item" button shows
• Progress Bar - displays a progress bar to the learner
• Help Link - displays a help button to the learner

• Show Course Structure
• Course Structure Starts Opened (have the course structure display automatically be open when course is started)
• Course Structure Width (positive integer)
• Structure Status Display (mandatory) - defines how icons are displayed to indicate success and completion status
• Invalid Menu Item Action - SHOW means invalid menu items are visible but result in error, HIDE means they are hidden from the menu, DISABLE means they are visible but do nothing

• Prevent right-click -  determines if the SCORM Player should prevent the user from right-clicking in the SCORM Player windows. This setting can be useful for high-stakes assessments or other situations where you wish to prevent the user from looking at the internal structure of the content or data in the player. Note – this setting only affects the SCORM Player windows (the course structure, title bar and nav bar) it does not affect the content.

• SCO Launch Type - FRAMESET keeps navigation bar & course in one window, or NEW WINDOW is used if you want to wrap the SCO window with API
• Player Launch Type - FRAMESET keeps navigation bar & course in one window

• Immediately Commit On Finish
• Logout Causes Player Exit - when the cmi.exit data model element is set to “logout”, this parameter determines whether the SCORM Engine returns to the LMS or simply closes the SCO (determined from the package)
• Wrap SCO Window with API - wraps an empty frameset around the window, this is helpful if the package content is poorly executed and has a difficult time relaying calls back to the SCORM API
• Always Flow to First SCO - If true, the SCORM Engine will always load the first SCO in a course upon initial launch regardless of whether sequencing rules dictate this behaviour.
• Raw Score Can Act As Scaled Score - In SCORM 2004 content, if a SCO sets a raw score but not a scaled scorE, should the raw score count as the normative score for the SCO?
• Enable Look Ahead Sequencer Mode
   

Look-Ahead Sequencing applies to SCORM 2004. When a navigation event occurs, for example Next, Back, Suspend, Exit, Abandon, etc., the TOC is regenerated causing the entire SCORM 2004 class structure to be read. For each activity in the class, it simulates a Choice navigation request. If the simulation results in the activity not being delivered, that activity is disabled or hidden from the TOC depending if there are any SCORM 2004 pre condition rules that result in the activity being disabled or hidden. If the simulation results in the activity being delivered, that activity is enabled in the TOC for the user to launch.

The look-ahead sequencing is configurable. By default, it is enabled and the LearnCenter Admin can disable it, which results in all activities to be available in the TOC. If the feature is disabled, when the user clicks on an activity in the TOC, it attempts to deliver the activity to the user. If the activity fails to deliver due to sequencing limitations, for example controls, rules, etc., a message is displayed to the user that the activity is not valid for delivery.

The user is given another opportunity to choose another activity until they choose one that is deliverable. The following example represents a TOC with look-ahead sequencing enabled. As you can see, activity SCORM Diagnostic SCO Cluster B is not available due to the result of the simulated choice request performed against it. The control mode does not allow 'flowing' to the next activity so clicking on the cluster activity is invalid since it cannot flow to its first child and cluster activities do not have associated content.
 

• Reset Runtime Data Timing - determines when to reset the Runtime Data

FAQS

Can I prevent Delegates from changing their score after they have completed their eLearning package?

There are two options for this:

• Untick the Allow Start Option on the Delegate record - this will remove the 'Play' button in the Learner Portal, but the User can still access the course is they have a direct eLearning link
• Raising a request with the Support Team to disable the root activity, which is done per package as opposed to per Delegate record - this will allow Delegates to select 'Play' on the course after completion still, however they won't be able to change any of their answers and depending on how the course is structured, they may not be able to access certain pages within the package.

Can I limit the time a user can take for a course?

This can't be achieved using the settings within accessplanit or the package properties, this would be done within the SCORM authoring software when the package is created.
