This function allows you to see the information that a SCORM learning activity reports to the LMS, such as the information that helps determine the status of the learning activity at different stages. Seeing the data as it is being communicated can help you identify the cause if content is not behaving as you expect.
This function is available from your browser's bookmarks or favourites. To enable it, drag the following link to your bookmarks bar or favourites list: Show SCORM Log
To use this function, launch a SCORM learning activity and click the Show SCORM Log bookmark/favourite. The SCORM log appears in a pop-up window, showing information sent by the learning activity up to the point when you opened the log. The log will continue to update as you work through the learning activity.
The log contains very detailed information,
so you will want to focus on particular elements. Entries include both
a particular data element's name and value. For example,
if the cmi.score.scaled
data element is shown as set to 0.80, that means the content
has a score of 80%. Below are some of the key data elements you
will want to pay attention to. The names vary based on the version of
SCORM.
