AICC compliance: vendors information LMS ReportsAsk vendors  Specification Version  Course Structure Level  HACP / API

AICC compliance: vendors information LMS ReportsAsk vendors  Specification Version  Course Structure Level  HACP / API Real conversation  Buyer: What is the AICC compliance level of your LMS?  Vendor: The AICC only specifies requirements for level 1, so it’s not actually possible to be compliant at anything above level 1.

Our demonstration request We asked for  A real-time demonstration  Explanations on necessary adaptations to make the demonstration work (technical side)  Presentation of LMS features for each step (functional side) We provided  A data set (course structure + AUs)  A step by step demonstration process (import > play > report)

Our demonstration data set Assignable Units Presentation (HACP) Test (HACP + Interactions) Presentation (API) Test (API + interactions) Multiple Levels Course Structure

The “Course” concept “Course” concept in today LMSs  Includes various activities (assignments, workshops, synchronous sessions…)  Includes blended approaches (Self-Paced + Instructor-Led) AICC “Course Structures”  Formal content only  Usually a subset of a course into the LMS  Potential issues in terms of navigation (additional level)

Summary: tips for LMS buyers  Detail the requirements related to optional AICC elements  Think about content packaging in your requirements  Clarify the frontier between LMS and LCMS (features/pricing model).  Explore relations and mapping between LMS and AICC concepts Tip 1 Tip 2 Tip 3 Tip 4

Summary: tips for the AICC  Common page for certified products (current and past)?  Clarification about AICC specification vs functional versions  Clarification about Levels compliance & Levels certification  CMI-012 development (packaging) Tip 1 Tip 2 Tip 3 Tip 4
