Notes

“cmi.exit” Functionality - LRS query optimization

Chris Handorf raised a concern about difficultly caused by having to search multiple statements to determine the reason why a learner exited an AU. The existing CMI-5 specification does allow for “result” to be added to an “Exited” statement, but this is not mandatory.

Possible solutions discussed (individually or in combination):

1. Restrict CMI-5 Context requirements only to statements with CMI-5 verbs
2. Add additional identifiers in CMI-5 contexts for "easy search".

CMI-5 Runtime

Section 7.2.1. Says “AU shall retrieve the value of session_id…as specified in section 8." But section 8 has no mention of session_id. Should it refer instead to Section 10: State API?

Change to Section 10

CMI-5 Course Structure

Leave " entitlementKey: alternate" out of course structure for security and practical reasons - unable to know in key processing for this use-case in advance. LMS and content vendor will negotiate this separately.

More Specification “To Do’s”

Look for TBD's and Missing examples.

Next Time

Next meeting we will:

• Continue to discuss LRS query optimization possibilities.
