I was wondering if there is a way to label answer choices for quizzes for SCORM output. It looks like the output shows the first letter of the answer. However, if there are multiple answers that start with the same letter, there is no way to distinguish which one the learner selected. Is there a way to modify this? Thanks! Lauren
I'm not sure I've seen this behavior - are you looking at a report within your LMS? Here is the data that Storyline sends your LMS for quizzes. If your LMS is not reporting or tracking information, you may want to begin by reviewing this article on troubleshooting common LMS issues.
If your course is published using SCORM 1.2 then that could be the source of the problem as well, depending on how your LMS interprets the standard.
In SCORM 1.2 packages published by Storyline, user answers and correct responses are sent to the LMS using the SCORM_RecordInteraction() - see line 708 of the file \lms\SCORMFunctions.js). In that function, there are two comments from the programmer that may explain what you are seeing...
try to save the data using the verbose description of the interaction results (this is not strictly conformant, but most LMS's will allow it and it still passes the Test Suite
if the long version errs, try again with the short version (strict adherence to the standard) - this applies to response and correct response
The code then does exactly that.
It sends the full length user response and correct response to the LMS.
If an error is returns, the code then tries saving the responses using only the first character of each string.
It could be that your LMS is "strictly conformant" to SCORM 1.2 and will not let the package save responses longer than 1 character. If so, you can probably solve the problem by republishing the package using the SCORM 2004 standard.
