Tracking Assessment Attempts

Hi everyone,

We are working with a client who wants to be able to track how many attempts their learner has taken of the final assessment before passing. They also want to keep a record of each score. Eg. 50% on first try, 60% on the second try.

Someone mentioned Multi-Sco, but I'm not finding anything definitive there. 

Does anyone have any ideas for us please?

  • Hey, Peter!

    Here's a list of data that Storyline sends to your learning management system (LMS).  Once that data is compiled in the LMS database, there's really no limit to what kind of analysis you can perform (assuming the LMS grants access to the data)!  I'd recommend reaching out to your LMS Administrator to find out what options they have available for reporting and data analysis.

    Hi,

    I have the same issue. Our company is using a proprietary LMS, so it will only track 1 result. Which is the final result slide I set to track.

    My question is, can Articulate 360 capture the following results:

    1. First attempt

    2. Best attempt

    3. Last attempt

    From the above 3 results we than decide which result to track and pump to LMS.

     

  • Hello Matthew and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

    Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to see for reporting. 

    Storyline 360 will send the score for each attempt taken by the user to your LMS. It would be up to your LMS to determine how to report on that data.

  • Hello, 

    I have a similiar request where we want to track the number of attempts a learner took to complete a course as well as each score/result for each attempt. I have been working with our LMS (Cornerstone) and they have advised that the problem lies with information received back from the SCORM package. Here is there a response: "The SCO must send a Terminate request with cmi.exit="normal" to end the attempt and
    the navigation request (adl.nav.request) is neither “suspendAll” nor empty. Many courses send cmi.exit="suspend" and adl.nav.request="suspendAll", causing the
    LMS not to know an attempt has ended and mark all attempts as the 1st attempt." How can we adjust the cmi.exit variable to be normal and the adl.nav.request not equal to suspend all?

      Hello Krishna,

      Happy to help!

      If you're trying to track the total number of attempts your learners take before passing a quiz, 

      You can save the number of attempts your learners take to a variable and follow the instructions here to send the value of this variable to your LMS: 

      You could create a numerical variable with an initial value of 0 and then increment the value of this variable by 1 each time your learners complete a quiz. Feel free to share a copy of your project file here and I'll be glad to add the necessary triggers to get this to work to help you get started.

    Hi team

     

    Is this the same case where Rise 360 also sends the attempts details (score, number of attempts etc.) to LMS but it depends on the LMS to determine how they report on this data?

     

    Thanks heaps

    Yuan

    • Hi Yuan!

      Happy to share some insight on this!

      In Rise 360, when a learner takes a quiz multiple times within the same course attempt, the most recent quiz score is sent to the LMS upon exit. For example, if they pass it, then fail it, then pass it again, only the final pass would be reported. For learners who try to retake a quiz after closing the course, what happens depends on your LMS. Usually, the LMS allows them to retake the quiz only if the course wasn’t completed. If they took the quiz and completed the course, they most likely won’t be able to retake the quiz.

      Please let me know if you have any more questions!
