In this example, the Instructional Designer decided, based on the project requirements, that the SCO
would be completed once the animation was started. Any activity before the animation
would be considered incomplete.
However, the SCO could have also been evaluated as not attempted or unknown instead of incomplete. So, which value should be used and when should each be used? The answer depends on the project requirements, but it is important to know that the value can impact higher-level pieces of a content collection. Values could effect any sequencing decisions made for pieces beyond this SCO and therefore impact the overall status of an activity. This, however, is beyond the scope of the Completion Status Data Model content and will be discussed further in another content piece.
