What is Assignable Unit in cmi5 spec?

QUESTION

What is Assignable Unit in cmi5 spec?

Asked 2021-Apr-26 at 13:34

A bit introduction, I'm trying to create a LMS that will launch cmi5 course. But, I've trouble in understanding about cmi5 package and some other terms. Here I would like to ask/clarify several points to make it clear.

I've seen TinCan/xAPI sample course/spec (I saw it here) and cmi5 spec here. I found out that they need different query string to launch the content.

To be precised, in TinCan, for the authentication, we could pass auth query string and the Basic {encoded username:password} as the value (here is the reference). The auth then processed by the TinCanJS package (I'm using Javascript). But, in the cmi5 spec, it said to get the token, we could pass fetch query string and the value is our lms that return one time token only. The fetch url will called with POST method.

But, I couldn't found "where is the fetch value being processed in the cmi5 course?" in the AU? I'm still confused with the terms of AU.

Who will create it?
How it looks like?
is it included in the cmi5 course or do I have (as the creator of LMS) to create the AU?

Thank you in advance.

The specification includes a specific definition for an AU:

Assignable Unit (AU): A learning content presentation launched from an LMS. The AU is the unit of tracking and management. The AU collects data on the learner and sends it to the LMS.

The AU is essentially what we've come to consider the lesson inside the course. AU is a holdover term from the AICC specifications, and is similar to a SCO in SCORM or the launched thing in a package with a tincan.xml file.

To explicitly answer your questions:

A content creator would generally create an AU and potentially a course of one or more AUs. This would be the output of a "Rapid Authoring Tool" a la Storyline, Captivate, etc.
Entirely depends on the AU and the content being developed.
The AU will either be included in a course package zip, or it would be an external URL that can be linked to directly. Strictly speaking an LMS wouldn't generally create an AU, having said that, there could be generic implementations of AUs that could receive enough configuration information via the launch parameters such that they could be provided by an LMS. Rustici Software's Engine product which provides standards support for many LMSs (and SCORM Cloud) uses this methodology to provide support for certain content types.

You should have a look at the resources available from the cmi5 spec website:

Install TinCan_Prototypes

Make sure to fetch all the code dependencies by running git submodule update --init --recursive.
Place the prototypes folder on a web server, and note the URL to index.html. This is the url you will launch in your browser to run the client prototypes. If you do not have a webserver available you should be able to run the prototypes from your desktop, but you will have to use a modern browser that supports CORS (Cross Origin Requests) such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or IE8+.
Copy the file config.js.template to config.js and set Config.endpoint to the LRS endpoint, including a trailing slash (ex: https://cloud.scorm.com/tc/public/)
Verify the LRS endpoint in your browser by navigating to the URL: <endpoint>/statements?limit=1 You should be prompted to log in, use the credentials provided by the LRS You should then see: [], or JSON of a statement if statements have already been stored for this LRS.
Load index.html in a browser
