When the learner is interacting with the SCO, it is sometimes necessary due to project requirements or learner knowledge, to know what their progress is. Using Progress Measure will enable the SCO to report this information. Progress Measure is a "measure" of completion on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0 (inclusive).
The learners progress towards completion is typically measured in the following ways:
- Value of 0.0 - This numerical value maps to the Completion Status data model element value of Not attempted.
- Value of 1.0 - This numerical value maps to the Completion Status data model element value of Completed.
- Values between 0.0 and 1.0 - This numerical value maps to the Completion Status data model element value of Incomplete
These values can be used in coordination with the Completion Status and Completion Threshold data model elements. SCOs could use Progress Measure in conjunction with the Completion Threshold to determine Completion Status. However, Progress Measure does not have to be used with these elements.
