Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response, I followed your link and have added values which works a treat.

The next bit of the puzzle is to get the quiz to behave in the following manner.

Once the learner completes they do not see the result but are informed they have finished the test.

The result is either accessable or e mailed to our administrator who is also able to review the leaners answers and scores

Any thoughts?

Hey Neil!

If you don't your users to be able to review their results, it sounds like you'll want to disable the Results Slides. As far as an administrator being able to track results, Quizmaker 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 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:

   *  Dokeos
   *  eFront
   *  Docebo
   *  Moodle

And 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.

FYI: If you want to include the "you're done!" message within the QuizMaker file, just change the default settings so the Results don't actually show the results (i.e., deselect "Show user's score," "Show passing score," and "Allow user to review quiz" in both the Pass Result Form View and the Fail Result Form View). Then put the same information on the Pass and Fail slides.
