Quizmaker + Aicc + Mac = ??
Anyone else having problems with QuizMaker09, AICC and Mac?
I get all sorts of weird results on Mac browsers that I don't see on Windows browsers. The use of " in essay questions seems to break the PutInteractions as does new line characters. Some of my questions don't track at all on Mac/Firefox but do on Safari. All this in a Quizmaker course that works fine on IE & Firefox in Windows. Am I alone? -adam |

This may be specific to your LMS. Have you submitted this issue to them?

Re: Quizmaker + Aicc + Mac = ??
I don't think so - I've tried it on two separate LMS's.
The problems seems to be two-fold: 1. The Flash part of Articulate is not escaping quotes, newlines or parens - but only on Mac browsers - it works fine on windows. For example a call from flash to the js may look like player_doJSCommand('CC_LogInteraction','Foobarquux ') but, if the answer has a quote we get player_doJSCommand('CC_Loginteraction',"Foo "bar" quux") which unsurpisingly fails. So the PutInteractions call never happens in this case. I suspect this has to do with subtle differences in Flash on the Mac and PC. 2. This problem is cross platform. The javascript code to send interactions does not correctly handle " or newlines in interactions. It attempts to handle quotes, but only first quote gets properly escaped. Newlines are not handled at all. The PutInteractions call in this case is successful but formatted improperly and generally causes the LMS to puke. I fixed this by patching the JS file, which I've attached. Patch is at line 2637. Uses new function at 2570. This may not meet AICC spec, quotes are handled like Excel does, by doubling them up: "". It may be better to just remove them. I've replicated both problems in two LMS's and confirmed by tracing JS calls with Firebug and HTTP calls with an HTTP trace tool. This is case 00104021 |

Re: Quizmaker + Aicc + Mac = ??
Not sure if anyone was following this thread, but I thought I'd update it.
Still having the same problems. Short-term, we're recommending Windows platform which is fine for now, but long-term we'd like to support Windows and Mac end-users. So these issues hurt us on that front. I'm not sure if there are any other assessment engines that have good cross-platform functionality. Any recommendations? |

Re: Quizmaker + Aicc + Mac = ??
I posted a new thread today about problems I am seeing on Macs versus PC's. I had been searching earlier and didn't see this thread. When I used Google to search now I found your thread. Did you happen to fix your problems? My posting is under quizmaker and is probably still on the first page of the forums since I just posted today.
I definitely see different results between Macs and PCs although I have to admit there are some issues with totally gobblygook code in the AICC CORE area that doesn't happen all the time.

Re: Quizmaker + Aicc + Mac = ??
We never solved our problem - I don't think there have been any Articulate updates since I found this issue and I haven't tested it again since.
We deal with this by mandating IE on Windows and patching the Articulate courses - not ideal, but it's a solution that works for us. -adam |

It also happens with Linux users who attempt the quiz with Firefox.

Re: Quizmaker + SCORM 1.2 and Moodle
In ExecFinish, ExiType=SUSPEND
The same thing happens to us on an Apache Server running Moodle 1.96 using IE8 and Firefox on a PC. We have applied this patch Moodle shows a course as “suspended” – Articulate Presenter ‘09 Knowledge Base I turned the Articulate Debugger on and ran it through Moodle. Here are the last few lines of the debugger.
