Setting Knowledge Track Options For A Learning Interaction - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-USING FLASH Use Manual

Setting Knowledge Track options for a learning interaction

Knowledge Track is an automatic data-tracking feature that lets you transmit student
performance data to a LMS, such as Lotus LearningSpace, or to other back-end tracking systems.
Knowledge Track works with both AICC- and SCORM-compliant learning management
systems. Knowledge Track captures and/or stores student information internal to the Flash
application and transmits that data to an HTML page.
To successfully send data to a tracking system, you must embed the SWF file containing your
learning interactions into an HTML page and select the HTML template in publish settings for
either Flash with AICC Tracking or Flash with SCORM Tracking. To support an AICC-
compliant LMS, the HTML that embeds the SWF file needs to be part of a frameset. See
"Preparing Flash learning interactions for web hosting" on page
The tracking data captured and transmitted by Knowledge Track is based on an industry
standard for courseware-to-tracking-system communications, the AICC (Aviation Industry CBT
Committee) specification version 2. This standard specifies the following data elements for
each interaction.
You can set values for these data elements using the Component inspector for an interaction:
•
InteractionID
•
ObjectiveID
•
Weighting
Other data elements are automatically set or calculated:
•
Question Type
•
Correct Response
•
User Response
•
Result
•
Date/Time
•
Latency
To set Knowledge Track options for an interaction:
Select the Learning Interaction component to the left of the Stage in the quiz template.
1.
If the Component inspector is not already visible, open it from the Property inspector, and then
2.
click Options at the bottom of the panel.
Select Knowledge Track if you are using the learning interaction in a document created using
3.
a quiz template and you want the learning interaction to send data to a server-side learning
management database.
Enter a name in the Objective ID text box to specify an objective for the interaction.
4.
This is an optional parameter. If the interaction is related to an objective that is set up in the
LMS, enter that Objective ID in this text box. Tracking still works if you leave the Objective
ID text box blank.
