assessing improvements over course of a lesson?

Feb 14, 2017

Hi,

I'm building a training module where the first question assesses the participants skill level on a scale of 1 -10 on the first screen (using checkboxes), then the question is repeated at the end of the module to see if the participant's knowledge has improved. Can anyone tell me how I can link back to the first score to give a message depending on whether the new score is higher or lower than the first (ie: "well done you've improved" or "you may need to revisit this module")?

Hey Colin -- In order to track and report that type of information, you'll need to host your course in a Learning Management System or Articulate Online. There are other methods of tracking as well, but they won't provide you with the type of details it sounds like you're looking to see, such as individuals' scores. This article is a really great resource detailing ways to track your courses and what type of tracking capabilities correspond with each.

Hope that helps clarify a bit, please let me know if you have further questions!

Hey Colin! If you're using a Learning Management System, Storyline will track and send data to it. I'm not familiar with the term "LMA" but if it's the same setup as an LMS, you should be good to go. This article details what kind of data is tracked by Storyline and I would also recommend reaching out to your LMA for specifics regarding what they track and what settings would be best for you to use when publishing.

No worries, Colin! I'm constantly learning new terms in here so I wouldn't have been surprised if LMA were one of them :) If you're using an LMS then you should be able to track and record your learners answers easily. I'd still make sure to double check with yours just to verify what publishing settings would be best, as support for Tin Can API, AICC, and SCORM can vary based on LMS.
