Publishing a Title

SCORM Publishing error missing a scored Test or Modify Variable

When publishing to SCORM I get the error "This course is missing a scored Test or a Modify Variable action for either AICC_Lesson_Status or AICC_Score."

When publishing to SCORM I get the error "This course is missing a scored Test or a Modify Variable action for either AICC_Lesson_Status or AICC_Score. You must have one of these items somewhere in your course for AICC/SCORM compliance.  This is how the course can be set as completed within the Learning Management System."

A SCORM course must tell the LMS when the user has completed the course.  You can have your course do this by either:

  • Add a test to your course and make sure the Test Results property "Grade the test" is selected.  Lectora will set the variable AICC_Score to the grade of the test.
  • Add an action to the course that sets the variable AICC_Lesson_Status. Most LMS like "completed" as the value.  
  • Add an action to the course that sets the variable AICC_Score to 100.

You should also make sure the Title Type "AICC and SCORM for LMS".  You can find this property at DESIGN -> Title Options.

For more information on publishing to SCORM including other values to the the above mentioned variables, please refer to the article SCORM 101 and a Lectora How-To.
