Should an LMS be able to perform item analysis for each question with a Quizmaker quiz?
Looking through the java script, I cannot determine if it provides the students response for each question or not. Does it just provide a summary score to the LMS?
Yes, Quizmaker does send all of the answer data to the LMS. The following article will show you which data is being sent to your LMS from Quizmaker quizzes:
Please note that it is up to your LMS to determine how to process and display the data that is being sent to it. Bear in mind that some LMS's may not be able to process the data the way that you are looking for.
Also, please be aware that SCORM 2004 provides more robust data for tracking and reporting than SCORM 1.2 or AICC. If your LMS supports SCORM 2004, you may want to consider publishing your Articulate content for SCORM 2004 to see if this provides the tracking and reporting you desire from your LMS. To learn more about SCORM, see:
We are getting everything we want using 2004 SCORM, except for the actual question. We get the correct response and the user response, but we do not know what question they belong to.
Objective_ID will be the same for all questions, but the Interaction_id will be the unique identifier for each question.
You sure you are using SCORM 2004? In SCORM 2004 the question text should be sent over in cmi.interactions.x.description in SCORM 2004...in SCORM 1.2 (per the spec) there is no way to submit what the actual question is.
HI Dave, Thanks for the reply. I have not worked directly with the LMS vendor on this issue, but we have used scorm 2004 for all of our assessments in this system (to the best of my knowledge). We are working with them to try and determine why we cannot do item analysis. They are trying to get us to use their own proprietary tool which they say does provide for item analysis and we are trying to use Quizmaker or something independent so that if we change LMS'es at some point in the future, we do not have to recreate all of our assessments. Knowing and identifying what specifically is being sent from Quizmaker is helpful, so we can share these details with the vendor and ask more specific questions. Thanks again. Rob

Hi Rob,
Quizmaker does send all of the data. Thus, I'd recommend contacting your LMS vendor to see if they can provide you with additional support.
Can you tell me which field refers to the question # ? None listed in the above link use the word question.
strInteractions =
’"course_id","student_id","lesson_id","date","time","interaction_id",’ +
’"objective_id","type_interaction","correct_response","student_response",’ + ’"result","weighting","latency"\r\n’;
Is it interaction ID? objective ID?
...bump
Hey Rob,
Objective_ID will be the same for all questions, but the Interaction_id will be the unique identifier for each question.
