Quiz questions pulled into an LMS report

Jun 24, 2014

I am using Articulate Quizmaker '13.  Our published courses and quizzes reside in our SumTotal LMS.  My customer wishes to receive an LMS report listing the learner's name, each quiz question and the quiz result (Correct or Wrong).  Currently, our LMS is not able to read and pull the individual quiz questions into a report.  Is there a setting in Quizmaker or something else I can do that will allow the LMS to see and pull each quiz question into a report?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

The article below covers the content that Quizmaker '13 sends to an LMS:

Quiz Data Sent to an LMS in Articulate Quizmaker '13

As you can see the responses, whether or not they are correct, etc. are sent to the LMS. It comes down to how the LMS interprets this data and what functionality the LMS offers. 

With most LMS services, learners are required to log in with their details. From that point, when the content has been completed, the administrator can view the content completed by that learner. However, not all LMS services are the same. 

If you're not seeing the data that Quizmaker '13 sends, or who completed the course, I'd recommend reaching out to your LMS provider to see if there's an option to display that content in your reports. 

In the meantime, perhaps community members with SumTotal experience can chime in and share some suggestions. 

Thanks!

Christine

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your reply and information.  My main interest is the question text.  The link your provided says that SCORM 2004 communicates the question text to an LMS, but it did not tell me which field in SCORM 2004 the question text would be in.  Also, does the LMS need to be configured in a certain way in order to read that field?  Thanks!  Steve

Hi Steve,

Though SCORM 2004 supports sending that data, we can't determine how each and every LMS displays it. So, we cannot say for certain what field will display that data through your reports.

This is a screenshot of reportage run with a course on SCORM Cloud:

The line "This is an example quiz question from Quizmaker '13" is the actual question in the course. This follows the id data that's sent from Quizmaker and SCORM 2004 - 2nd Edition.

This is an example from Articulate Online:

It's not SCORM 2004, but I wanted you to see that the question gets sent and is visible from the report.

Again, 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.

Though this is an older thread, you can see where the question details are displaying differently in SumTotal for the original poster. 

I hope this helps!
