SCORM 1.2 compliance test instructions

This Page describes the steps necessary to check to see if Moodle complies with the SCORM 1.2 Compliance tests - these tests are run by Moodle Developers - they are not intended for use by others.

Moodle install/setup

Install a fresh copy of Moodle using the latest checkout from CVS/Git.
Use the Moodle 2.4 backup file provided here: http://danmarsden.com/scorm_resources/adl1.2-20121017-1453.mbz (and reset the password of the imported users) then skip to Test_Setup_and_execution or use the following steps to create the users and course required to run the tests.

Create custom users

The first user you have to create is "Joe Student". use the following details for this user:

Username:   joestudent
Password:   password
First Name: Joe

Create custom course

You need to create a course inside Moodle to upload the 2 SCORM Courses required for the test, For the full name of the course enter `ADL SCORM Test 1.2`, and for the short name enter `ADL1.2`, and then create the course (other default settings are fine)
Assign the 2 users created above (Mary Learner and Joe Student) as Students within this new course. Also assign the Admin user as a student within this course.

Upload the 2 SCORM test objects

The SCORM objects LMSTestCourse01.zip and LMSTestCourse02.zip are contained within the 1.2 Test suite available from http://www.adlnet.gov

add a new SCORM object to the course created above - type in ‘ADL SCORM Test Course I` for both the Name and Summary, and link it to the LMSTestCourse01.zip SCORM test object
add a new SCORM object to the course created above - type in ‘ADL SCORM Test Course II` for both the Name and Summary, and link it to the LMSTestCourse02.zip SCORM test object

Test Setup and execution

Launching and completing the first course

Launch the ADL 1.2.7 Testsuite in Internet Explorer in one tab – IE 8 was used in this example.

Select the link “Learning Management System (LMS) Run-Time Environment Conformance Test “

From here – it is assumed that the users knows everything that is required of them to operate the test suite.

At the point it is necessary to access the LMS, open another browser tab and launch Moodle in it, as before, going to

http://localhost. This ensures that the JAVA Applet from the test suite is available in the JavaScript layer of the actual running tests.

Log into Moodle by clicking on the Login link shown in the top right corner of the screen shown below.

Use the username `joestudent` and the password `password` to log in at this point.

Select the link under the heading `My courses` for `ADL SCORM Test 1.2` as shown below, You can now see links to the two ADL SCORM test activities setup previously.

Select the link `ADL SCORM Test Course I` to launch the first test, Here you are able to switch the Mode for the course between Normal and Preview. Normal (default) is used when testing cmi.core.credit = credit and is used for `ADL SCORM Test Course I`. Preview is used when testing cmi.core.lesson_mode = browse, and cmi.core.credit = no-credit. This is used initially when testing `ADL SCORM Test Course II` Click on the `Enter` button to launch the next SCO in the sequence

When each SCO is finished you can proceed to the next by clicking on the `Continue` button located in the table of

content shown to the left.

During SCO 4 you will be required to log out and then back in again twice in order to complete the SCO. You can log out

by clicking on the `Logout` link shown in the top right corner.

Once logged out you will need to log back in again and navigate back to, and enter the SCO.

As mentioned above you will need to log out and in again for a second time in order to complete the SCO.

At this point you simply need to proceed through each SCO as it is successfully completed.

When the final SCO is completed, then log the student out, but do not close the tab/window until the entire testing

procedure is completed. Instead, alternate between the tabs to complete the process.

Launching and completing the second course

In order to complete the second course you must log in as Mary Learner with the username `marylearner`, and the

password `password`.

Click the ` ADL SCORM Test Course II` link under the `My courses` heading to launch the second course.

Change the mode from Normal to Preview before entering the course, this will set cmi.core.credit = no-credit and

cmi.core.lesson_mode = browse.

Complete the first SCO as shown above and then click `Continue` to move onto the second SCO. This will request you to

logout before completing the SCO.

Once you have logged out, and logged back in again you can re-enter the course, however you need to ensure that Mode

is this time set to the default Normal, this will set cmi.core.credit = credit and cmi.core.lesson_mode = normal.

Having done this the second SCO will now be complete and you can proceed to complete the final SCO, completing the

test.
