WebCAT

WebCAT is a web application that serves as a CMS. It is NOT a full-fledged LMS. It is non-SCORM compliant, just a CMS that launches non tracked resources and a test built in their LMS used for tracking.

Converting non-tracking web course

Non-Tracking Web Course conversion to Syncrude Webcat LMS.

Identify if brain 2.5 or 3.0 (new ones should be 3.0)

  • 2.5 “FiLMS.swf”
  • 3.0 “films.swf”

Copy files from proper brain type update folder into the courses folder

  • P:\Teams\Technical QA\2013\Syncrude\_3rd Party LMS Non Tracking\_Syncrude Webcat Deployment Files

If brain 2.5 open up structure.xml in a text editor and find/replace lock="Y" to lock="N" to unlock course and vcrState="watched" to vcrState="on” to allow them to scrub around.

Confirm:

  • launch course looks good
  • Able to scrub the timeline
  • Able to Jump to other lessons
  • And going to conclusion lesson doesn't mention or prompt about a certificate. Then ask PM or AM if to remove the last lesson

Inside course folder select all files and zip, rename zip in the following format. syncrude.<course name no spaces>.web.<year><month><day>.zip

TODO If a final at the end, do they get converted to LMS quiz’s (they do that, we would need to remove final and any lesson before it referencing the final)
