Tracking to AICC- or SCORM-compliant learning management systems (LMS's)

The Flash learning interactions and quiz templates allow easy communication with both AICC- and SCORM-compliant LMS's. 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 time spent overall.

Because of differences between the two tracking standards (AICC and SCORM), there are differences in the compliance of the files created using the Flash learning interactions and the quiz templates.

To be SCORM-compliant, content must call an initialize command when it is first launched, or before any other tracking commands are sent to the LMS. Only the quiz templates send an Initialize command; the stand-alone interactions do not. Therefore, the interactions might not track and won't be compliant independent of the quiz template, unless the interactions are added to Flash content that does initialize the LMS communication.

The files created using both the Flash learning interactions and the quiz templates can send tracking data to an AICC-compliant LMS. Individual interactions cannot send overall score and tracking data, but they can send interaction or question data.

In addition, quizzes created to comply with either AICC or SCORM standards will not read data from the LMS into the Flash file.
