reviewModeIsReadOnly() is not defined

This is possibly a bug. When selecting "Reset Learner Progress" for a SCORM export, learners may still see an empty box, with the console stating that reviewModelIsReadOnly() is not defined.

This call is in scormdriver/preloadIntegrity.js:47. I cannot find a definition for this function anywhere in the export. Replacing this call with the variable REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY resolves the issue.

Could an Articulate rep please respond and detail if this is in fact a bug, or something caused by the LMS (Totara 9 based on Moodle 3.0)

Thanks

  • For anyone following this topic. This bug has been resolved. The references to the removed reviewModeIsReadOnly() function have been updated to test the global constant REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY.

      HI Andrew! You beat me to it! I was about to post that the bug has been resolved. Happy Holidays!

  • HI Hamish! I see 02956891 open and you're working with Lianne. She has replied asking you for the .zip package.

  • Hi Hazel,

    Could I trouble you for an update on this?

    You previously defined reviewModeIsReadOnly() in scormdriver/driverOptions.js however at some point recently this function has been removed and as Hamish points out it looks like you intended to replace it with the constant REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY but missed a reference to the old method in preloadIntegrity.js.

    You won't be able to trigger it on Scorm Cloud becasue it's not possible to replace scorm packages in situ in Scorm Cloud (updating a scorm package always creates a new course identifier, orphaning anyone who was incomplete).

    This happens when you update a scorm package in an LMS that lets you update courses insitu such that suspend data from a previous incomplete session (on a previous version of the course) is passed to a new scorm package.

    Regards,

    Andrew

      Hi Andrew!  This article might help.  Hamish is still working with our technical support engineer, Lianne.

      If the article doesn't help, you can also open a case with us so you can share your files privately and one of our technical support engineers can help you.

        Hi Andrew and Hazel,

        I’m not really working with technical support as I’m not able to supply the old versions of the package they requested in order to troubleshoot. I’m on the LMS side and do not have access to their content/authoring.

        From what I can see though, it really is just a bug thrown by the function referenced not existing.

        Thanks,
        Hamish

  • Thanks Hazel, that's interesting. It's nice to see some of these things being configurable at deploy time.

    REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY = false;

    Will be very handy for when you don't need to achieve anything to complete a topic. For example I have clients with informational courses that you only really need to open to complete.  If you set:

    Track using course completion = 0%

    It works in that you have a course that you don't have to visit every page in, or complete a quiz to complete, however by default returning to this topic will forever after take you back to the page you first exited from and never increase your completion percentage in the left hand navigation.

    Continuing to track progress after the topic has first been opened and closed will allow the course to remember the page that people were last on between views and indicate exactly how much of the topic they have engaged with over time.

    Hopefully driverOptions.js will be extended over time with other options.  It would be a great place for Articulate to test features and gather community feedback before baking them into the UI. A bit like feature flags in web browsers.

    I think the issue of the refernce to reviewModeIsReadOnly() though is just a simple bug as this function used to exist and doesn't now. It's just a matter of updating preloadIntegrity.js to use REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY.

    BTW as a quick side note. The format of driverOptions.js has changed since this article was written. It would be great if it could be updated to match the current way you are loading driver options.

    Regards,

    Andrew

      Hi Andrew! Thanks so much for your feedback -- I logged case 02979351 for you regarding the change in the format of driverOptions.js.  Our technical support engineer will take a look at this further. You'll receive an email from them.

  • Hi Hazel, I got the same error when learner return to the updated scorm. Could you please advise how to resolve this bug? Thanks.

      Hi Allison! Sorry to hear you're getting the same error. Kindly open a case with us here so that one of our technical support engineers can work with you directly. 

  • Hello All!

    I have great news to share! We are no longer seeing the issue in Rise 360 where the reviewModeIsReadOnly() parameter is not defined.

    For affected courses, try republishing them to see if you still encounter the behavior. If you do, let us know and we'll be glad to revisit the bug report!
