|
CCA_LMS_SUPPORTS_PREASSESSMENTS=true
Applicable values: true, false
|
true: Enables special formatting of scoring data sent to an LMS to indicate if the score reflects a pre-test score. Learners can take pre-tests at the lesson and/or course level (if ALLOW_LESSON_TESTING and/or ALLOW_COURSE_TESTING equals true) from the Course Menu.

|
CCA_WRITE_SCORM_CMI_OBJECTIVES=true

The following completion criteria properties apply only to CCA Courses or legacy content when USE_CCA_COMPLETION_MODEL_FOR_LEGACY=true:
CCA_COMPLETION_THRESHOLD=0
|
CCA_COMPLETION_THRESHOLD=0
Applicable values: integer between 0 and 100
|
Specifies the minimum score which must be attained in order to mark the course as Complete.
|
CCA_CONTENT_VISITATION=OR
|
CCA_CONTENT_VISITATION=OR
Applicable values: NO, AND, OR, ONLY
|
NO: Content visitation does not count towards course completion.
AND: The user must page through the content AND the specified threshold (min. score) must be met.
OR: The use must page through the content OR achieve the specified threshold (min. score).
ONLY: The user must page through all content in order to get credit for completion. The users course score is not taken into consideration regarding course completion.
|
CCA_REQUIRE_ALL_ASSESSMENTS=false
|
CCA_REQUIRE_ALL_ASSESSMENTS=false
Applicable values: true, false
|
true: This requires all assessments to be completed in order to attain a Completed status.
false: This allows a user to get a Completed status without answering all the questions as long as the minimum score was attained.
|
CCA_SCORING_MODEL=OVERALL
|
CCA_SCORING_MODEL=OVERALL
Applicable values: OVERALL or LESSON
|
OVERALL: This applies the CCA_COMPLETION_THRESHOLD value to the overall (Course Level) score.
LESSON: This applies the CCA_COMPLETION_THRESHOLD value to the Lesson scores.
Note: This also applies to Topic scores if CCA criteria are used for E3 content.
|
USER_COMPLETION_NOTIFICATION=false
|
USER_COMPLETION_NOTIFICATION=false
Applicable values: true, false
Note: For USER_COMPLETION_NOTIFICATION to work appropriately when using non-CCA content (Business Skills/e3), you must first configure USE_CCA_COMPLETION_MODEL_FOR_LEGACY to 'true' and ensure the completion criteria for CCA is adjusted properly.
|
true: The SkillSoft Course Player must display completion status.
false: The SkillSoft Course Player will not display completion status.
|
The following Scoring/Progress properties apply to ALL Courses:
IDLE_SECONDS=300
|
IDLE_SECONDS=300
Applicable values: numerical (seconds)
|
Sets the number of seconds the player remains idle before it stops counting the learner's time spent taking the current course.
|
INCREMENTAL_COURSE_SCORE=true
|
INCREMENTAL_COURSE_SCORE=true
Applicable values: true, false
|
This property gives support for sending null course score to the LMS rather than a score of 0.0. A null score is sent as an empty string ("score=") in the AICC "[core]" block.
true: The SkillSoft Course Player determines an overall course score if at least one assessment is taken. For example, if 1 out of 4 assessments in the course was attempted and the score for that assessment was 100, then the Player sends an overall course score of 25 to the LMS. If no assessments have been taken, the Player sends a null score to the LMS.
false: The SkillSoft Course Player only computes an overall score if ALL assessments have been attempted, otherwise it sends a nullscore to the LMS.
|
LMS_DEBUG=false
|
LMS_DEBUG=false
Applicable values: true, false, 2
|
true: Enables detailed LMS related information, such as connection and results tracking data, to be logged in the Java Console or the SCM log file.
false: Disables detailed LMS related information, such as connection and results tracking data, to be logged in the Java Console or the SCM log file.
2: Enables very detailed LMS related information, such as connection and results tracking data, to be logged in the Java Console or the SCM log file.
|
LMS_ERROR_DIALOG=true
|
LMS_ERROR_DIALOG=true
Applicable values: true, false, 2
|
true: Displays an error dialog to the learner if the SkillSoft Course Player is unable to communicate to the LMS.
false: Does not display an error dialog to the learner if the SkillSoft Course Player is unable to communicate to the LMS.
2: Displays more error dialog information (more detailed than if this parameter equals true) to the learner if the SkillSoft Course Player is unable to communicate to the LMS.
Warning: If this property is set to false, the learner is not notified if the SkillSoft Course Player loses communication with the LMS (for example if the Player is left idle and the LMS connection times out while the Player window is still open). In this scenario, the LMS can not save the results of the current course play session, so the learner loses the scoring data for the current session without realizing the score isn't being counted.
|
LMS_RESULTS_RELAY=/contentRelayer
|
LMS_RESULTS_RELAY=/contentRelayer
