How Do I Turn On Registration?
Some courseware doesn't send context.registration, including Articulate® tools. However, you can enable “session tracking” in our Veracity Launch LMS, which adds the registration property.
What Is Registration?
The xAPI specification includes this definition:
… A registration could be considered to be an attempt, a session, or could span multiple Activities. There is no expectation that completing an Activity ends a registration. Nor is a registration necessarily confined to a single Agent. …
Why Is Registration Important?
With context.registration enabled in your xAPI, you can track students' sessions while they use your courseware. Our Veracity Learning LRS has an out-of-the-box dashboard widget that shows sessions for a single student. This can show you the dates and length of each session. With this information, you can judge the attention of your students and, from that, the relative attractiveness of your course and its content.
How to Enable Session Tracking in Veracity Launch
Follow the same steps for How to Edit a Course Configuration:
- Login to Veracity Launch.
- In the left menu, under Admin, click Manage Content.
- In the bottom-left of the tile for the course you want to configure, click the More icon (
).
- In the pop-up context menu, click the Advanced Edit option.
- In the Edit Activity dialog box, scroll down to the xAPI Configuration section, and toggle-on the Track Session option.
- Scroll to the bottom and click the Save button.
Now, when you run the courseware from Veracity Launch, the LMS will automatically insert context.registration into each xAPI statement.
