Need Suggestions for Scoring/Completion in LMS
Aug 12, 2015
I may have created a monster and need some advice. I have a module that begins with a quiz. If the participant passes, they go to an acknowledgement slide and can exit the course. If they don't pass, they are directed to take the full course and re-take the quiz. Here is the problem - The participant can select one of five languages in which to take this course. How can I track completion? I don't necessarily need their score as they have to receive a passing grade to get to the acknowledgement slide and exit the course. I thought about counting slides, but some may only go through the 10 questions where as others will go through the entire course plus the 10 questions. Is there a way to create a hidden completion slide (with or without their score) that is triggered when they hit the exit course button, so that regardless of which language they select all will exit on the same slide and be given credit for completion?

Hi Karen! This thread should be able to assist you with this.
Hi, Karen -- Thank you for your question! Have you had a chance to review this information on How to Submit Course Completion to an LMS on a Specific Slide, by chance? That may work for you, but if not, I will defer to the members of the community for additional suggestions.
Karen;
I have been using the javascript
SetStatus("completed");
for this.
If you set a results slide that people are unable to get to and set your publish settings to base completion on that slide so that Storyline can't override your setting then you can use the javascript to manually set the LMS to complete whenever you like. Just set an execute javascript trigger one whatever button or timeline you like.
It has been working well for me lately.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion, Tim! And Karen, in case you were not aware, I wanted to share that we don't provide support for JavaScript, but you may find this information on JavaScript Best Practices to be of use. Best of luck with your project!
You guys are awesome!!! Thanks, I'll try these out and let you know when I'm successful!
Sounds great, Karen! Many thanks for your response and we will look forward to an update at a later time. :)
Still struggling with this module. I have it working as individual modules, but when I combine two of the modules, the scoring will no longer work in either module. I have tried adding a hidden results slide to end the course and report as completed. But since I can't get the individual quizzes to score, so no one advances to the acknowledgement page to complete the course. The quizzes have no connection so I'm not sure why this has become an issue.
Hi Karen,
Are you tracking/reporting the score based on the Javascript elements as mentioned above or using the standard quiz questions/results slides? The latter I could take a look at and offer advice and if using Javascript the community may be able to weigh in - so you may want to look at sharing your .story file here with us.
I am using the standard results slides for the quiz in each module and I added a results slide with the java script at the end to pass completion to the LMS. The problem arises in that once I combined two modules, the quizzes no longer pass the results so no one receives a passing score to continue. I tried attaching the .story file, but it may be too large. Is there a size limit?
Hi Karen,
You can only pass one results slide to an LMS, but it sounds like the individual results slide aren't showing the score on the slides themselves either? The forums have a pretty high file size limit, but if you're not able to upload here you could send it along to us here.
Correct - it's the individual results that aren't reporting. I don't need to report the score to the LMS, just need a passing score to navigate them to the acknowledgement and the end of the course. I am sending the file to the link above. Thanks.
Thanks Karen - and please let me know the case number once you've received the confirmation email and I'll follow along.
Thank Ashley - Articulate Case # 00627536
Thanks Karen and I see you're working with John on this issue, and it seems one of the results slide may have been corrupt and therefore not calculating the score correctly. I'll keep an eye on your case as well as you continue working with him.
Thanks still don’t have a resolution. Fixed language one, but as soon as I import language two, some of the results slide options are removed (greyed out) which seems to prevent the scoring from working correctly. Very frustrating, but I will keep plugging away until we figure this out. In the mean time working with our LMS administrator for an alternative distribution process.
Thanks Karen and I'll continue to follow along as you work through the issue with John.
Hi Karen,
Did you ever get resolution for your endeavor?
I am planning the same type of module but mine will be small quizzes based on 4 different chapters through the module. However, I also have an acknowledgement page that is mopre crucial than the quiz results.
Let me know if you figure anything out.
Thanks
Hi Walt,
I'm not sure if Karen is still subscribed to this thread or not, but I looked back to her case and discussion with John and it seems she ended up creating a separate course with a new results slide - as each course can only be tracked by one results slide/method - so she was needing to track more than one.
Hopefully she'll respond here as well or you're welcome to contact her using the "contact me" button on her profile.
