I can track a lot of things on our CMS (which isn't Moodle), but as I said, I think I'd only be able to track whether the students had accessed the file, and the duration of time each student had the file open--which doesn't mean he or she is actually sitting there looking at it, let alone working his or her way through it. Are you saying that the SCORM-compliant components provide extra tracking capability, that lets you confirm that students actually work their way through the exercise and shows you their choiices (or does Moodle perhaps give you information that our CMS doesn't provide)?
Hi Infopri,
I'll just round out this discussion, but if you wanted to talk more about it, please feel free to PM me. With the software/LMS I use, I can indeed track students so that if I have a presentation with, say, 50 slides (these aren't bullet points, don't worry), I could see exactly which slides they viewed. I don't do law, but let's say I create a scenario (maybe something like, "a person you are supervising comes into your office and says she is being sexually harassed. What do you do?" I present them with a number of choices that sound reasonable and ask students to click on one of them. If a student selects option a, they are branched (using hyperlinks) to, say, slide 30. If they choose option B, they get branched to slide 31, etc. On that slide they get feedback on their responses and/or have to make another decision about what to do next. (As an aside, I like a pull approach where the student has to pull in information that I would make available to them, rather than a push approach where I shove what they need to know down their throat).
The software I have collects all the information about slides viewed by a particular student and reports that information to the LMS, where I can export to Excel for further analysis, if need be (I don't get that much into it, I want to less work, not more, but the option is there).
Of course, you do almost all of that just using PP (or Keynote). You just wouldn't get know what options they selected (or if they really went through the simulations), because neither PP nor Keynote (as far as I know) reports information to the LMS.
(Sorry to everyone, I didn't mean to get so off-topic with this discussion . . . )
