Adapt Learning Community: Course Overview (Additional Menu)

Hey everyone,

I've been trying out adapt for a bit now and am currently working on my first real project with adapt and I stumbled over something.

Is it possible to get the status and general Information of a whole course from outside?

The Idea is to make an additonal Menu (much like the Menu in a course) that shows a few different courses and their respective progress (for example that course 1 is done 100% and course 2 is done up to 42% or something like that)?

Also I'd need to get the link, title etc to each course. Has someone already done a multi-course setup like that and can maybe help me out?

Thank you in advance,

Jana

Hi Jana

If you're running your course on a learning management system then this is really the kind of thing to be done at the learning management system level.

Certainly I can tell you that within the SCORM 1.2 standard that most learning management systems (and therefore Adapt) support, one SCORM object can't see the data for another SCORM object. It can only see the data for itself and only for the current user.

The learning management system will have access to data at that high a level but won't be able to see progress within each course as SCORM doesn't have any method for the course to report progress beyond the level of not started/started/completed.

On occasion where progress within the course has been important to the client we've done things like store the percentage complete in the 'score' field - but there's quite a lot of customisation involved in that both in the course and the learning management system.
