1. The Role of the LMS Sequencing

2. Next Back The LMS Introduction The purpose of this lesson is to explain the role of the LMS in the sequencing process as defined by SCORM specifications. Technical processes that control sequencing on the part of the LMS, by and large, are abstracted from the learners as well as the course developers. It may be helpful, however, for members of a course development team to know a little about what goes on with the LMS during a sequencing process. LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3

3. Next Back The LMS Introduction By entering the instructional content area of a course the learner begins a session and initiates the sequencing engine on the part of the LMS. The session is terminated when the learner exits the SCO or the course. LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3 The LMS controls sequencing between SCOs

6. Next Back The LMS Introduction Tracking Events During an Instructional Session Storage Media Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Interactive Exercises Tests Final Exam Once a learner exits a session the LMS stores the information as the state (status) of that learner. The stored information on the learner can subsequently be used to: Report to the instructor on the learner’s progress Report to learner (e.g., modules completed) Report grades Direct learner as to where to start the next session Report on how much time was spent on the content Restrict or allow access to privy areas

8. Next Back The LMS Introduction Rollups are Evaluated by Rules and Objectives Objectives – are based on the learner meeting a criteria. Usually as a result of a test. The status of an objective is either satisfied, not-satisfied and completed. Rules – commonly referred to as sequencing rules do not necessarily involve assessment tools such as quizzes and test to progress from one SCO to the next. Rules set some sort of precondition primarily based upon page visits.
