Configuration

The Configuration settings in the Edit Standard Criteria and Edit Compliance Criteria dialog boxes include the following:

• Minimum test score: Specify the numeric score the learner must meet or exceed to complete a course, then select the scoring model from the drop-down list. The scoring model is the logic to apply when determining completion. There are 2 scoring models:
  • Each Test (lesson scoring): In order for the learner to complete the course, each lesson test must have a high score that meets or exceeds the value specified for Minimum test score.
  • Average (course scoring): In order for the learner to complete the course, the average of all lesson test scores must meet or exceed the value specified for Minimum test score. Tests that have not been attempted are scored as 0.

  As an example, assume you set Minimum test score to 80. A learner takes a course with 5 lessons and scores 100% on the first 4 lessons, but she doesn't attempt the last lesson test. If Each Test (lesson scoring) is being used, the course is considered incomplete because the learner did not get at least 80% on all lesson tests. However, if Average (course scoring) is being used, the course is marked as complete because the average of all lesson tests (100+100+100+100+0)/5 = 80, which meets the value specified for Minimum test score.

  Note: SkillSims ignore all completion criteria except Minimum test score. Even if you set the visitation completion criteria to Visit all content pages, SkillSims can only be completed by meeting the specified minimum score.

• Maximum course test attempts: Allows you to specify the maximum number of attempts allowed for a learner to take a course test; after the maximum attempts is reached, the learner can request a course retake. You can enter an integer value from 1 - 99, or leave the field blank (unlimited attempts).
• Visit all content pages prior to test access: When selected, prohibits the learner from directly accessing the test without first completing all the pages in the course.
• Require users to complete all questions in each test: If you select this option, all questions must be answered in all tests in order to complete a course. For Legacy courses, this option only applies when using Average (course scoring). This is because all tests are required by default for Legacy courses using lesson scoring. For CCA courses, this option applies when using either Each Test (lesson scoring) or Average (course scoring).

  When this option is selected, either Average + or Each Test + displays in the Model column in the Override Global Criteria list.

• Disable forward navigation based on audio duration: When selected, the forward navigation for course pages is not enabled until the audio portion of the current page has completed and prevents the audio portion from being muted.
• Allow multiple completions: Select the option to allow learners to restart a course that has already been started.
