1. Programming and LMS Integration
- Set Up SCORM/XAPI Tracking: Configure the course for SCORM or xAPI compliance to ensure it can report learner progress and responses to the LMS.
- Customize LMS Communication: Implement JavaScript or other programming techniques to capture and send specific learner responses (e.g., quiz answers, interaction data) to the LMS.
- Testing LMS Integration: Upload the course to a test environment in the LMS to ensure all tracking and reporting features function correctly.
2. Testing and Quality Assurance
- Internal Review: Conduct a thorough review to check for content accuracy, technical functionality, and visual design.
- Beta Testing: Have a small group of users test the course to provide feedback on usability and effectiveness.
- Bug Fixes and Refinements: Address any issues identified during testing and refine the course based on feedback.
3. Deployment
- Publish the Course: Export the course from Articulate Storyline in the required format (e.g., SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI).
- Upload to LMS: Deploy the course on the LMS and configure it to be accessible to the target audience.
- Set Up Learner Tracking: Ensure the LMS is properly set up to track learner progress, scores, and responses.
4. Evaluation and Feedback
- Monitor Learner Progress: Use the LMS analytics to monitor how learners are interacting with the course and their performance on assessments.
- Gather Feedback: Collect feedback from learners regarding the course content, design, and functionality.
- Analyze Data: Evaluate the collected data to determine if learning objectives are being met and identify areas for improvement.
5. Continuous Improvement
- Update Content: Regularly update the course content based on new information, feedback, and technological advancements.
- Enhance Interactivity: Continuously seek new ways to enhance the interactivity and engagement of the course.
- Maintain LMS Integration: Ensure ongoing compatibility with LMS updates and standards changes.
Additional Considerations for Collecting Learner Responses
- Custom Data Capture: Use variables and JavaScript in Storyline to capture specific learner responses not typically tracked by standard SCORM/xAPI.
- Detailed Reporting: Customize the LMS reporting features to generate detailed reports on learner interactions and performance.
- Privacy and Security: Ensure that the methods used to collect and transmit learner responses comply with data privacy and security regulations.
This comprehensive approach ensures the development of an interactive, engaging, and LMS-integrated eLearning course using Articulate Storyline.
