Setting Knowledge Track options for a
learning interaction
Knowledge Track is an automatic data-tracking feature that lets you transmit student
performance data to a LMS, such as Lotus LearningSpace, or to other back-end tracking
systems. Knowledge Track works with both AICC- and SCORM-compliant learning
management systems. Knowledge Track captures and/or stores student information internal
to the Flash application and transmits that data to an HTML page.
To successfully send data to a tracking system, you must embed the SWF file containing your
learning interactions into an HTML page and select the HTML template in publish settings
for either Flash with AICC Tracking or Flash with SCORM Tracking. To support an AICC-
compliant LMS, the HTML that embeds the SWF file needs to be part of a frameset. See
“Preparing Flash learning interactions for web hosting” on page 588.
The tracking data captured and transmitted by Knowledge Track is based on an industry
standard for courseware-to-tracking-system communications, the AICC (Aviation Industry
CBT Committee) specification version 2. This standard specifies the following data elements
for each interaction.
You can set values for these data elements using the Component inspector for an interaction:
■ InteractionID
■ ObjectiveID
■ Weighting
Other data elements are automatically set or calculated:
■ Question Type
■ Correct Response
■ User Response
■ Result
■ Date/Time
■ Latency
