      Learning Object Repository Overview

      The Learning Object Repository allows users to store links, SCORM, and TinCan learning modules and allow them to be accessed and used directly in Elentra.

      Warning: For best results, we recommend using the TinCan (xapi) file type, which is most compatible with the Elentra's supporting Gradebook and Event Resource Analytics features. SCORM and URL file types are also supported in the Learning Object Repository module, but do not have the same functionality as TinCan files. By using xapi, the files are highly configurable to allow for customizable tracking of module completion features such as quizzes and other content; the data of which will be automatically transmitted into Elentra for tracking and viewing purposes. 

       

      SCORM files and URLs can be uploaded as learning objects and opened with their content loading and acting as expected, from a student user's perspective. However, there are limited usage metrics that can be obtained from these file types.  As such, in the Event Resource Analytics for the connected learning objects, these files:

      • Can only track the learner's # of attempts and, completion percentage
      • Do not track quiz scores or time tracking
      • Do not track quiz question responses by learners
      • The gradebook connection is not supported by these file types

      For the best experience using learning objects connected to a learning event and gradebook assessment, we recommend using the TinCan (xapi) file type.

       

      Multiple user types can access the learning object repository, but only users with administrator role permissions can add learning objects. Depending on which other features of Elentra your instance has enabled, Learning Objects might appear on the user's tab menu or it might appear under the 'More' tab. Currently, all learning objects added to the system will be available to all users (you can set a viewable time for an object to restrict users' access to the object).
