Articulate Studio provides the option to publish to LMS. The interface in Studio '09 is consistent and allows you to do this from each of Presenter, Quizmaker, and Engage.  They have a good article on their blog which explains the steps involved in publishing content for an LMS.

This document explains how the reporting options affect the SCORM information passed back to an LMS.

LMS Reporting Options

There are four reporting options available when publishing. These are:

1. Passed/Incomplete
2. Passed/Failed
3. Completed/Incomplete
4. Completed/Failed

These values determine what the content reports back to the LMS when a user interacts with the content. 

For the reporting option provided:

• the first value is the status to be reported if the user meets the requirements and
  
• the second value is the value to be reported if the user does not meet the requirements. 
  

In terms of SCORM 2004 completion and success status:

Reporting Option	SCORM Completion Status	SCORM Success Status
Incomplete	Incomplete	Unknown
Completed	Completed	Unknown
Passed	Completed	Passed
Failed	Completed	Failed

You can determine what reporting options were used when a package was published by looking at the presentation.xml file in the data sub-directory of the package.  The values within the <lmscompletion> tags appear to reflect the values selected via the tool.

The presentation.xml file also includes information about the SCORM protocol selected, and the method being used to determine completion (viewing slides versus quiz results).

QuizMaker '09

This chart shows the four reporting options and what they report back to the LMS when a user exits before the end, passes the quiz or fails the quiz.  The score required for passing is specified for graded quizzes when you create it.

Reporting Options		Passed/Incomplete	Passed/Failed	Completed/Incomplete	Completed/Failed
Exit before end	cmi.success_status	unknown	unknown	unknown	unknown
	cmi.completion_status	incomplete	incomplete	incomplete	incomplete
	cmi.exit	suspend	suspend	suspend	suspend
Pass	cmi.success_status	passed	passed	unknown	unknown
	cmi.completion_status	completed	completed	completed	completed
	cmi.exit	suspend	suspend	normal	normal
Fail	cmi.success_status	unknown	failed	unknown	failed
	cmi.completion_status	incomplete	completed	incomplete	completed
	cmi.exit	suspend	suspend	suspend	suspend

Engage '09

You can now create a learning object directly from Engage '09 to track in an LMS.  When doing so, there is an additional tracking option which allows you to specify the minimum number of items viewed for the content to be considered complete.  This shows up below the LMS Reporting section on the Reporting and Tracking Options.

This chart shows the four reporting options and what they report back to the LMS when completing or exiting half way when viewing Engage content.

Reporting Options		Passed/Incomplete	Passed/Failed	Completed/Incomplete	Completed/Failed
Exit before end	cmi.success_status	unknown	failed	unknown	failed
	cmi.completion_status	incomplete	completed	incomplete	completed
	cmi.exit	suspend	suspend	suspend	suspend
View required minimum number of items	cmi.success_status	passed	passed	unknown	failed
	cmi.completion_status	completed	completed	completed	completed
	cmi.exit	suspend	suspend	normal	normal

The highlighted case is incorrect -- the expected cmi.success_status value here is 'unknown'.  Articulate has acknowledged the issues, and they are working to resolve it.  For the time being, we recommend using a different reporting option for Engage content.

Note: when viewing an Engage learning object, if the user flips through the slides really quickly (before the content can be initialized), the initial cmi.success_status will not be set as expected for option 'Completed/Failed'. In this case, success status will be set to "unknown", regardless of whether the user views the required minimum number of items or not.

Presenter '09

Presenter allows you to insert QuizMaker quizzes and Engage widgets into the presentation.  If you have one or more embedded quiz, you can choose to track progress and completion in two ways:

1. Using the number of slides viewed -- you specify the minimum number of slides for the content to be considered complete
2. Using the results from one of the embedded quizzes -- you select which quiz you want to use for tracking

These options can be found under the 'Tracking' tab under the Reporting and Tracking Options during publish.
