How to capture scores from multiple laptops?
Oct 21, 2011
For an upcoming conference, I'm loading two lessons and associated quizzes on half a dozen, stand-alone, laptop computers for minimally monitored use during the conference. We need to capture scores for successful participants, which I'll credit in our Moodle LMS after the event. How can I best do this?
My fall-back approach is to require participants to screen-copy their ending scores for each lesson, then save those images as files with each participant's name in a common directory. After the event, I could then retrieve those images for scores transposition into the LMS. Is there a more elegant, less participatory approach?
I also thought about downloading the trial version of Articulate Online onto each laptop, then extracting a clean report from each machine, but even if that meets legitimate use guidelines, it works me too hard.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Wayne,
Any chance you're going to have a printer setup there? If so, you could just have them print the results of their quiz. Otherwise, it's going to be difficult to track results "off line".

Wayne you can run moodle from a usb drive, have you though about running your course using scorm from moodle on a usb drive, you could set up loads of accounts, give the user their account on the back of their conference badge
Hi Wayne,
that really depends on how much time you have to setup the 10 workstations... if you don't have a minute spare, you could just print the quiz results like Brian said , even using the XPS local file (the virtual printer provided by Ms windows);
Personally, in a similar occasion, last summer I just set up a moodle portable installation withe the published course and the preloaded users, and copied with a USB stick onto each PC, just like Phil suggested... it worked great!!!
Thanks, folks! I'll be pursuing the portable Moodle solution ("Poodle" - heh). Here's a link for others that describes Poodle installation on a USB stick.
