Basic structure of the Learning Interaction scripts and components
Now that you know how the interaction data are stored and retrieved, here's a little more
information to complete the picture. The Learning Interaction components are really the center
of the e-learning setup. They collect user parameters and build the SessionArray and the
interaction event handling functions on the level of the interaction assets. That is, they accept
user parameters and configure the environment and assets accordingly. If you want to examine
how these components work, you need to open the scripts in the Library panel.
Most of the scripts reside in one of two places. The first is the
script processes data storage and data formatting for the interaction. The second script location is
within each interaction component. These scripts initialize event handling functions triggered by
the interaction assets. This is where the user parameters and interaction assets are initialized and
the interaction evaluations scripts reside. Although these scripts are built on the component level,
they are initialized on the same level as the interaction assets and submit data to the SessionArray
on the interaction assets level.
To explore the scripts or add to them, look in the library for the 1_GlobalClass folder to access
the
LGlobalClass
2_Components folders to access each Learning Interaction component script. Each script is split
into commented sections that are described at the top of the script. Most of the script sections are
built within functions for modularity.
