Known issues

Articulate

An Articulate course may not display as being completed in Saba 5.4 (SCORM 1.2):

  • http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=ap9&id=a090o0k0h61l

If you are using Saba version 5.4 and find that the course status is never being set to Completed (or Passed) in the LMS, then this topic will explain how to correct the problem.

On exit of a course, will set (cmi.core.exit) the LMS to "suspend". Saba version 5.4 will ignore the value that the content has set for status (cmi.core.lesson_status) if the course has an exit status of "suspend", even if the lesson status is set to "Passed" or "Completed" by the content.

Try:

<useSCORMExit>true</useSCORMExit>

Scoring

For courses that do not report scores (no tests, for example), the mastery score must be left out of the scorm imsmanifest.xml file. If the course has been uploaded with a mastery score and has user enrollments already, we might be able to override that behavior using the isScoring checkbox in the course properties. If unchecked, this should allow the course to track completions. (See the notes from Nexen below, and the screenshots further down the page.)

According to notes on the Enbridge SABA LMS page:

  • The Mastery Score needs to be blank for courses with no quizzes so that the course will move from Enrollments to the transcript
