Save SCORM lesson duration in Moodle's database

Hi,

Is there a way to save the "duration" of the SCORM package?

If there isn't, I will just develop something to do this, I just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time.


In CornerStone On Demand (CSOD), there's a support for the "SCORM technical tag" so if I add the following tags to the imsmanifest.xml file, then CSOD identifies it and stores the duration of the uploaded SCORM package.

For example, a one minute lesson:

<lom:technical>

<lom:duration>

<lom:datetime>00:01:00</lom:datetime>

</lom:duration>

</lom:technical>


Eventually I want to be able to pull out a report which states the training title and duration.

I couldn't find any reference to "lesson duration" or anything like that

That looks related to SCORM 2004 LOM to me - (but I haven't looked really closely.)

Moodle doesn't fully support SCORM 2004. SCORM 1.2 does have the cmi.core.total_time, cmi.core.session_time vars, but those are calculated based on the users session and do not allow you to set a fixed value for an expected duration like you appear to want.
