SCORM

Hello,

this is a follow up on a post I made earlier: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=180927

I'm sorry it took me so long to come back to this, but I needed the time to run a test on the right package with the right settings, and record all the results.This because the original package contains confidential information. So I changed the package to contain fewer questions, and bogus texts.

We use Moodle 2.0.3 (Build: 20110505). The Scorm Content is generated with Articulate quizmaker '09.

The problem I'm having is that Moodle keeps recording the results of different attempts into one attempt. When I asked about the attempts in moodle, Dan marsden pointed out, that to test this I should turn on 'Display attempts status'. To actually see the attempt status, I should also set "Students skip content page" to Never (which in our course we have set to Allways, for style reasons). 

and when I did this, I noticed that the problem didn't occur any longer. But when I switch back to "Students always skip content page", the problem reoccurs.

To show what happens, I have done the following:

1. I have created a quiz with five questions, which I put in Moodle as a Scorm-activity (package can be downloaded here).
2. The settings used you can see in MoodleScormSettings01.txt. The most important ones are:
3. 1. number of attempts:         unlimited
      Attempts grading:             First attempt
      Display attempt status:     No
      Force completed:             Yes
      Force new attempt:             Yes
      Display package:             Current Window
      
      Student skip content
      structure page:             Never
4. Now I have a user, Cursist01, take this activity two times. I have put the Scorm-logs and other relevant information in: User01-TakesTestTwoTimes.doc
   Each attempt ends up as a seperate attempt in the Scorm report. And only the first result ends up in the gradebook.
5. Then I change 1 setting of the Scorm-activity: "Student skip content structure page:" from Never, to Always.
6. Next, I have a second user that takes the same activity, with the changed setting.
7. But now the result is different: the two attempts get 'combined' into one. You can see this, in the trackdetails in User02-TakesTestTwoTimes.doc: the numbering of "cmi.interactions_" 'continues' in the second attempt where it left of in the first (hope this is correct English). And each time a student takes the quiz, the grade gets updated in the gradebook.

So actually when students skip the content structure page, they 'get stuck' in one, neverending attempt.

My question: why does this happen? Is this Moodle or the Scormpackage? We really want students to skip the content structure page and go straight to the Scormcontent.
