This page describes the properties for the default set of launch interfaces in the LMS.
This is the recommended Launch Interface setting for most courses, including SCORM and AICC courses. It is the default setting for courses imported using any of the Import Content Package, Import AICC Course Structure or Import Resource wizards.
This launch interface supports any of the following content types, provided the Run-time Environment is configured appropriately:
| Property | Description |
| Attempts Allowed |
Select the number of attempts a learner can have to achieve a passing score and complete the course. You can select 1 to 10, or unlimited attempts. For a given learner's enrollment, the number of attempts allowed will be number set at the time of enrollment. This number can be reset for the learner upon publishing new revisions or by explicitly granting additional attempts. The number of attempts taken and the number allowed are shown in Current Learning Modules and the Knowledge Center. |
| Course Scoring Method |
If the learner is allowed more than one attempt to complete the course with a passing score, select the course scoring method. You can select their highest, average, first or last score. The scoring method applies only to courses, not to exams. It is captured for a transcript during enrollment and may only be reset upon publishing new revisions. While the resulting score will be displayed on a transcript, it will not affect the overall status of the transcript. |
| Course should be completed |
Select whether the learner's transcript status for the course is updated to Completed automatically when the learner completes the course with a passing score, or whether the learner must manually mark the course as completed. Allowing the learner to mark the course as completed means they can try to improve on a previously successful attempt. The course completion method will be captured for a transcript during enrollment and may only be reset upon publishing new revisions. |

| Web Address or Embedded Content | Enter the URL of the course launch page. It can be a relative or absolute path, and can contain parameters. Alternatively, click Select to open the Repository Manager, where you can select a file. |
