How Recorded Attempts Affect Oracle Learning Statuses and Scores

You can specify whether learners have a set or unlimited number of attempts to successfully complete the SCORM, HACP, AICC, or Assessment content. The Recorded Attempts setting decides whether failed, In Progress learning moves to Not passed, and when.

Successful attempts are shared wherever the content is used. When the learner completes the content in one offering activity, they don't need to complete the content again if they enroll in other offerings that use it.

Any unsuccessful attempts aren't shared wherever the content is used. Each unsuccessful attempt is counted for only the offering that the learner is currently working in.

You select a Recorded Attempts option on the details page of the online or assessment content that's scored. The field isn't available for unscored content.

• If learners reach the specified number of attempts without successfully reaching the passing criteria, their offering activity is set to a Not Passed status. It does the same for the corresponding learning assignment.
• If learners reach the passing criteria by the specified number of attempts, processing updates their offering activity to a Completed status.

If they've unlimited attempts, the default option, processing tracks how many attempts it takes learners to pass. They can see the number of past tries in their enrollment details. You can see it on the Manage Activities page.

Caution: If you reduce the number of recorded attempts, you affect learners who haven't completed the quiz but have exceeded the new number of attempts. Learning updates their offering activity and corresponding learning assignment to Not Passed.

If Recorded Attempts is either Unlimited or a limited number, you can also set a wait period after failing a specific number of attempts.

• Hours to Wait Before Next Attempt: To define a delay period, specify the number of hours, such as 24. The learners can reattempt the content only after that delay period.
• Number of Attempts Before Forced Wait Period: This optional field appears after you specify an Hours to Wait Before Next Attempt value. You specify how many attempts learners have before the specified wait period applies. For example, if you enter 3, learners have 3 attempts before the wait period applies. After the wait period, they have another 3 attempts, and so on.

The enrollment details page reflects when these new content options are in affect.

• When a learner reaches the specified number of attempts, they can't reattempt the failed activity until the wait period ends. The enrollment details page will show a message letting the learner know when they can reattempt the learning.
• When an offering includes multiple activities, some of which might be configured with an attempt wait period, the enrollment details page shows a banner message. The message lets the learner know when they can reattempt the activity. If there are multiple activities with wait periods, the message provides the earliest date and time the learner can resume all the delayed activities.
• The header of each affected activity also shows when the learner can resume, and the Resume button is unavailable during the wait period.
