LMS-specific notes for Skillsoft AICC content

AICC Content Importation:

• Content AICC files packaged using IBM Authoring Tool.
• Command Line Import Utility (CLIMP) used to publish the file package to the Delivery Server (DS).
• Register and create Course Offering via IBM Lotus LMS Administrator.

LMS Status:

• LMS displays a status of Not Started / In-Progress / Completed / Passed / Failed.
• Upon exiting a course and clicking ‘Close and Save Progress’ the Course Outline and Course Progress screen will display a Completion Amount which is normally 0% while the course is still in progress and 100% when the course has been completed. Time Spent in the course is also displayed along with the current score and in the event of the course being completed, a Passed/Failed status.
• In response to a ‘completed’ lesson_status and score from the player, the ‘Course Completion Amount’ is set to 100%, a Passed/Failed status is assigned and the course is moved to the Completed Courses view.

  Note: The exception is SkillSims where a ‘Completed’ status is assigned and the ‘Passed/Failed’ field is left blank.

Error: “Unable to execute the CBT command line. web_launch”

By default, after installation, Skillsoft SkillSims and Business Skills courses have a "web_launch"

value for the “Command_Line” parameter in each course .AU file.

If AICC files are imported into the IBM Lotus LMS with this value, the content will not launch and will return the following error:

Workaround:

For each SkillSim and Business Skills course .AU file, the web_launch value needs to be replaced by a null value prior to importing the content. For example:

• Change

  "A100","course","web_launch","02:30:00","","http://10.5.160.11/....

  To

  "A100","course","","02:30:00","","http://10.5.160.11/....

Problems with launching content via the ‘B’ page:

• For e3 and BS courses, if a course is launched via the ’B’ page, there are ‘Permission Denied’ errors and the courses don’t launch.
• SkillSims: When launched via the ‘B’ page, clicking ‘Yes’ to ‘Do you really want to exit the Simulation Player?’ causes a ‘Permission Denied’ error to pop up and the SkillSim doesn’t close. Have to click ‘Close and Save Progress’ in order to exit the SkillSim.

  Workaround: Launch all Skillsoft AICC content via the Course Summary/Descriptor (A) page.

“Page Not Found” error on course launch:

• If “Enable Download Support on All Course Summary Pages” is checked during the content installation, the course cannot be subsequently launched from the course Summary/Descriptor page.
• When clicking on the “Play the Course” link, the user sees a “Page not found” error.

  Workaround: Ensure “Enable Download Support on All Course Summary Pages” is not checked during installation.
