How can I retrieve the answers in a textbox object in a survey

Aug 04, 2011

I want to build a survey where the user will write his/her answer in a text box. I noticed that Quizmaker supports Textboxes. I would like to know how an external application can retrieve the information in this textbox and record it in a database under that user.

I suppose this is possible, but I need to have confirmation to make the decision to buy Quizmaker.

Thank you!

Hi Javier,

Quizmaker ’09 is designed primarily as an elearning 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 ’09 using a number of methods.

Some of our customers are successfully sending Quizmaker results via PHP, or using a database, but these methods are not supported by Articulate. You can learn more here as they might get you pointed in the right direction:
