Interaction ID
Jan 23, 2012
(I thought I posted this question earlier today and if so, I apologize for the duplicate posting...I don't see it anywhere so maybe I just didn't click on "post." .)
Is there any way in Quizmaker to change the identifier for ech question in a quiz?
A client asks if I can "title" each question with something pertinent to the question, rather than the "Question 1 of 10," "Question 2 of 10," etc. (It will make it easier to track responses in their LMS.)
See the image below for the area to which I'm referring. I don't see any way to change it.

Hi Jon, you can change the text label but that will apply for all questions, I don't think there is a way to do it for each individual question.
Does anyone know for certain if this is indeed impossible?
Sorry, Jon. This is the extent of the customizations you can make to the question list navigation panel. If you'd like to see further customizations be possible in future builds, I'd encourage you to submit a feature request. Thanks for your input!
Thank you, Peter. I watched the video and also submitted a feature request. I appreciate the response.
Okay. This is odd. My client and I had made a list of settings they prefer fo quizzes after testing various options with their LMS. They just sent me the portion of the list we used to set up all the quizzes in each of four courses. I wrote my settings as we determined what they liked and what worked best for their LMS and then their LMS tech wrote what she had set at her end, so we both had a record. The image below is from MY portion of the document, which would seem to indicate I wrote it in but I can't see any such field now in Quizmaker. The part they want changed is what is sent to the LMS, which they highlghted. Does this look like text I would be able to see when setting attributes for Quizmaker and if so, where is it? I know I wrote in the Reportng and Tracking settings and I know where those are found but the last two lines don't seem familiar.
SCORM 1.2 doesn't allow us to send the question text. You would get that in SCORM 2004, though, so if your LMS supports 2004 you should be OK provided you publish for SCORM 2004 and your LMS actually reports the information.
I did publish for scorm 2004. Is there some way I can set the question identifier to be the question text or do they do that?
I don't now where I got the "LMS field-interaction ID.." info I had on my list. Is that information accessed somewhere from my end?
The question text shows up under the cmi.interactions.n.description element. So you need to find out if your LMS can report on that.
Is the cmi.interactions.n.description element part of the code at their end or is that something I can see or adjust?
No. It's just part of the data we send to the LMS. Your LMS should be able to tell you if they report on this field or not.
Thanks, Justin. I'll let the LMS tech know. Those notes must have been from her and not me, after all.
I really appreciate your prompt replies. Articulate has the best means of offering support and the most knowledgeable staff, hands down.
Certainly! Glad to help!
Are the responses that the user selected also data that is passed to the LMS? If so, what is it called?
How does this work for Quizmaker 2013. It appears the output is different for the Interaction ID?
