Hi, we have 12 storyline courses, all are single slide modules. They all automatically play a video as soon as the learners launch the course.
We are intending to have the course mark "complete" on our LMS, if the learners have at least watched 80% of the video.
If the video say is 10 minutes long, and they exited the course at 7 minutes, it shouldnt mark as complete. But if they exited after say at 8.5 minutes then that should mark them complete.
I'd recommend trying this method with a couple of modifications:
Definitely do the "make this look even less like a quiz question by moving the button off screen and using triggers to automatically select and submit that Pick One question" option as suggested by Mike.
The trigger to "automatically select and submit that Pick One question" should be a When Timeline reaches trigger.
Here are two examples of tracking the time spent watching a video, One allows the user to move on at will, the other requires them to spend a certain amount of time watching before they advance. Both of them create a pass/fail result.
Hi, I tried the first option of adding a pick one slide, hid that to not show as a quiz, chose trigger "when timeline reaches" (for testing purposes set the threshold to just at least 30 seconds into the video before it marks complete), but for some reason, even if i go past 30 seconds, in the LMS it just reports as IN PROGRESS.
I had it published with "track using quiz result", tried all LMS Reporting options as passed/incomplete, passed/failed, completed/incomplete, completed/failed. No luck.
What could i be doing wrong or missing in the process?
If the course isn't completing properly in SCORM Cloud and Walt's recommendations don't help, please feel free to send us a copy of your .story project file for a closer look. Thanks!
The team and I brainstormed and found a work around.
We tried using a results slide, embeded the video, added 2 triggers, submit interaction RESULTS SLIDE when the timeline reaches (insert no of seconds here that marks the 80% of the entire video), and then submit results RESULT slide when timeline reaches 80% + 5 seconds of the video length, and Thankfully it worked!!
Thanks for all your help, we couldnt have found this solution without your lead.
I am trying to do exactly the same thing and came across your post. You tried that 9 months ago, can you share you perspective on this trick? Did you work for your 12 courses?
I am not sure how understand why the Submit Interaction is = 80% of the video vs Submit results = 80 + 5 seconds. Why the two triggers, and why the 5 sec difference?

I have quick question: How do I report a simple course with 1 video as completed?
I've tried to use a pick one interaction, whereby the learner clicks exit course (being the correct pick one interaction) and the interaction is submitted when the user clicks exit course button.
For some strange reason this does not work, any ideas?
If possible, I'd like to have no results slide displayed, can I just add this to a unrelated scene which is reported back?
HI I'm trying to do something similar (1 slide with a video, 80% of video watched should equal a completion) though everyone's notes above are not resonating. I tried to use this article to mark course completion: https://articulate.com/support/article/storyline-360-course-completion-trigger but I'm not able to get the course to upload to our LMS without failure so I can't test if this even works.
Which version of Storyline are you using, and which LMS are you uploading your course to? If it might be an issue with your LMS, then I recommend using SCORM cloud to troubleshoot your LMS. Here's more information about using SCORM cloud.
Do you mind sharing the project you're working on so that we can see what you've already configured?

I will give this a go and hopefully does it. Will keep you posted.
Awesome! Thanks, Justin!!

Thanks, Walt, i will try these options as well and hopefully, i get to the results i need.
Hello again, Teresa.
One way to test whether or not the completion problem is LMS-specific is to try the course out in SCORM Cloud.
If the course isn't completing properly in SCORM Cloud and Walt's recommendations don't help, please feel free to send us a copy of your .story project file for a closer look. Thanks!

Nice work, Teresa. Happy to help!

Hi Bhagvat!
Are you using Storyline 360? If so, try using the Course Completion trigger! Here's how:
Let me know if that works for you!
Thanks Alyssa,
I am using Storyline 3, I'll let you know how I get on.
