Notes


Best Practice #11 – Use “progressed” verb for indicating progress during a session.

The group added a new best practice for measuring "progress" as shown below. The purpose of the best practice is to offer guidance on how to report progress to the LMS during an AU session. The associated JSON example Usage of Progress Extension was also update to reflect this new best practice

Best Practice #11 – Use “progressed” verb for indicating progress during a session.

For recording progress during a session, it is recommend to use a cmi5 allowed statement with the progressed verb (http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/progressed) and a progress extension in the result (see section 9.5.5.1 of specification). Progress statements should not be sent for progress value of 100% as that indicates completion. Once the learner reaches 100% it is recommended that a cmi5 defined “completed” statement be issued instead.


Gherkin/Cucumber Style Tests

The group explored describing cmi5 compliance tests in Gherkin notation. The following is an initial take on testing an LMS's content launch capability:

Feature: Learner Launch (LMS tests)

Given: A launch link is requested (by learner action…)
When: The launch link is provided
Then: The launch links is verified (verify all name/value pairs are present and have valid values)

Given: A launch Link from the LMS
When: the fetch URL is executed
Then: The fetch URL return value is verified (a valid JSON structure for authentication per spec)

Given: A launch Link from the LMS
When: the endpoint is executed to retrieve the LMS.Launch Data document (from State API)
Then: A valid LMS.Launch Data document is returned


Discussion for next week

  • Review xAPI Compliance Testing Team's methodology
  • Discuss approach to cmi5 compliance testing
