13' quizmaker, standalone quiz posted, finish button didn't work

Hi Ceci!

If the Finish button in your published quiz isn't closing the browser tab or window as expected, see this article for reasons and solutions.

If you test this in SCORM Cloud, this would help you identify if the issue lies in the course or in your LMS.

Hi Leslie,

The article you reference was somewhat helpful.  However, what we've found is that for most of our learners, even enabling the open in a new browser window, doesn't resolve the issue.  Instead, we get this error code:

Is there any other documentation on how to get the Finish button to work?

Hi Johanna!

Would you be able to share the .quiz file for us to take a look?

Did you test in SCORM Cloud as shared above?

Here is the quiz file.  I didn't test in SCORM cloud yet.

One more question on this topic.  I'm working on a course that has several ungraded quizzes and then a final quiz at the end.  I've been working on the course and saving to a couple of different locations on my C drive.  I've found that sometimes the quiz files names and some of the content doesn't update each time that I open the quiz or interaction from PPT.  When I navigate directly to the quiz or interaction file from the PPT I find that the content is from sometime that I updated in the past.  Is there a fix for this? 

Hi Johanna!

I'm not seeing the same result when testing your quiz file in SCORM Cloud.

I did notice that the course looked like it was set to publish to Articulate Online, so be sure to change that to LMS if that is how you are publishing.

When you insert an Articulate Quizmaker quiz or Articulate Engage interaction into your Articulate Presenter course, a copy of the original *.quiz or *.intr file is stored within the course's *.ppta file. This means that if you ever lose the original quiz or interaction file, you'll still be able to edit and publish it in Presenter. Please review this article for more information.
