Survey Interaction Data

Jan 13, 2014

A fairly new Articulate user from a different perspective as I am now the LMS admin as well.  How do I publish a survey made in quizmaker and put as a slide in ppt so it will save the interaction data.   A survey is no good if I can't get to the results.  

Please help.  Supposed to launch today.

Hi there Beverly,

I found some information that may help you out, but it truly comes down to the data retrieved by the LMS system you're using and what's supported. If you're the admin, you'll have more knowledge of your system than we will :)

Here's the information I mentioned:

Quizmaker is designed primarily as an e-learning development tool to be used in conjunction with Articulate Online or your own Learning Management System (LMS). You can track and report quiz and survey results via stand-alone Quizmaker quizzes or those embedded in Articulate Presenter using a number of methods. 


For the best results and most accurate reporting, we recommend Articulate Online.

You can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Articulate Online here.

Your own SCORM- or AICC-compliant Learning Management System (LMS) will also provide accurate tracking capabilities. Here are some open-source options for tracking quiz results:

   *  Moodle:  http://www.mozealous.com/upload-and-track-a-quizmaker-09-quiz-in-moodle/

Another option for you may be email, if you're using Quizmaker '09. Although email is not intended as a robust tracking mechanism, Quizmaker does provide an option for emailing results. Upon completion of a quiz, the user can choose to email the results to a designated email address. The results are sent in raw text format in the body of an email (raw text is the most flexible and universal data format). The recipient can then copy and paste the comma-separated output from the email into a text file and open it via Excel. After importing into Excel, you can select a "Table" format to organize the data into columns for better analysis. 

Due to web browser, Flash Player, and email security issues, this method may not always work as expected. We suggest that you thoroughly test this method in your environment to see if it meets your needs.  For more information, please review this article.

Some of our customers are successfully sending Quizmaker results via PHP or by using a database, but these methods are not supported by Articulate. You can learn more about these methods here and here.  
I hope that's helpful, and good luck! :)
