Enhanced native scoring from JS simulations

Problem

• External interactive JavaScript (JS) applets/ simulations do not pipe data into the learning management system, Student Learning Space (SLS) to facilitate checks for understanding natively
• As a result, either the student or teacher has do manual data entry for score input which is time consuming and prone to human error

Target audience

Teachers, primarily teaching sciences like Physics that benefit from digital simulations and related assessments

Solution

Code snippets to auto populate scoring directly into SLS

Known limitations

Only 1 set of scores piped to SLS for each simulation for now
