How to fetch data from articulate quizmaker to excel format.

Oct 03, 2012

Hello Everyone,

I am new to eLearning and Articulate Network. I have been assigned a task to create course in Articulate Quizmaker and then fetch the data from quizmaker into excel format, Assuming  that some of the user do not have access to LMS, but still want to give the test made in articulate quizmaker.

Once these user are done with the test can we get the result in excel format and store it in some other database fomat like excel or access.

 If yes, how to accomplish this task.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help or input.

Thanks!

Hello Peter,

Can you let me know once we are done with our quiz in the articulate quiz maker where do the record get stored.

Like once we are done with the quiz and the user have scored 60% and then he quit.

Is there any possibility that the user at the second visit on the same course can view his last record.

 If yes, how to accomplish this task.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help or input.

Thanks!

Hi Shailesh, 

It really does sound like you may want to explore using an LMS. 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. 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
