cmi5 AU Narrative

The group reviewed the work from the past month and discussed next steps for drafting the AU presentation. The high level outline is as follows:

1. Step thru a complete cmi5 example (scenario)
   • Explain each element
2. Step thru building an AU
   • Code samples
   • Best practices / do’s don’ts / rationale / consequences
3. Test/Validate
   • Launch and test procedure (review logs)

Dennis Hall volunteered to draft a presentation (as time permits) for next week's meeting.

cmi5 Actor/Account Definition

The group reviewed the JSON examples and found that the Actor block example data was confusing. (The cmi5 spec does require that an "account" object be used in the Actor.)

The actor "name" property should be changed to show a person's complete name (e.g. "John Q Smith")

The account "homepage" and "name" properties should be changed to better convey that they represent LMS user login.

This should also be explained and added as a best practice:

• The account "homePage" should represent a URL to the LMS user login page
• The account "name" should represent the LMS user login name.

"actor": {

`"objectType": "Agent",`

`"name": "John Q. Learner",`

`"account": {`

  `"homePage": "http://nottakenexampleLMS.org/login",`

  `"name": "user1234"`

`}`

}
