Hosting a Course

Hi Mary -

It's possible to connect your course to a Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script or a Google Form. This is relatively simple to setup but can be tricky if you're not comfortable with JavaScript. You'd also need to have the user manually enter their identifying info to tie the score to a person.

Hi Mary,

You can get a free account with Scorm Cloud, which will allow you to host a few courses for a limited number of users. It behaves pretty much as any sophisticated LMS does.

Tracking users' quiz results (i.e. pass/fail or % score) is possible with an LMS and you should be able to get Scorm Cloud to demo this.

Tracking users' quiz data (i.e. question by question) is much more tricky. Not sure if you meant that, but if you belong to this forum long enough you will see much correspondence about that.

As Steve says there are non-LMS ways to do things, the Google apps route is one, and there are other ways but not for the faint hearted. We provide a service for this so send me a PM if you want.

Hi John and Steve,

Thanks so much for the help!

I've checked out Scorm Cloud and am going to pass it along to the company to see if they want to try it out.

I'm also interested in trying out the Google Apps Script, but I'm not that skilled with JavaScript. I'd still like to try it. Do you have any resources that explain how to set this up?

Thanks so much again!

+1 to the SCORM cloud.

They also have a really helpful sandbox environment to test your courses before you launch them to make sure they are going to transmit the right results for your quiz data (as well as work correctly with the right SCORM calls).

Best luck in getting things up and running!

Quiz types of things in not possible with wordpress site I think. You have to use PHP or other coding stuff in your site I think.
