• Review Launch Mode

Best Practices

The group discussed how to manage the process for best practices. Being undecided on a formal structure for a best practices document, the group decided to start documenting a list of best practices and then organizing them later.

Objectives (prompted by the discussion of Issue #487 - Course Structure Requirements - AU and Objective Activity Types) was the first best practice to be developed. The group agreed on the following for inclusion in the best practices document:

Best Practice #1 – Use of Objectives

(Since Objectives usage outside of course structure is not defined)

Objectives are defined course structure but there is no language in the spec concerning their usage in statements. If using objectives in statements (as activityTypes) the best practice is to use the id (http://adlnet.gov/expapi/activities/objective) in ADL vocabulary.

The same Objective can be referenced by multiple AU or Blocks. There are 2 ways to interpret meeting an Objective. The two expected practices are:

1. All elements referencing the objective need to be satisfied (or met moveOn criteria)
2. Only one element referencing the objective needs be satisfied (or met moveOn criteria).

It recommended that the LMS developers document how they do this and provide an extension (in the course structure) to indicate what method should be used.
