When is a SCO Complete?

The SCO itself can determine the completion status, whether the SCO was completed, incomplete, not attempted or unknown, based on the learner´s performance. There are instances where other data model elements can be used to determine and potentially override any SCO reported completion status, however, this is beyond the scope of the Completion Status data model element content and will be discussed more in another content piece. So what must the learner do for a SCO to be considered completed? The answer to that question comes from the project requirements.

The criterion for when a SCO is complete is based on the requirements of the project and the progress of the learner. Is it when the learner has clicked beyond page five of the SCO´s content or maybe when the learner has started a particular animation? The criterion differs from project to project, content to content and even from SCO to SCO. The point is that the content creator must define the criteria.
