Can custom variables be reported to an LMS via JavaScript?

Hi all.

I'm working on a confidence based assessment and need the following variables to be reported to an LMS:

  • All questions.
  • All answers selected by the user.
  • Whether the answer they selected was correct or incorrect.
  • The final 'knowledge' score.
  • The final 'confidence' score.
  • The final 'combined' score as a percentage.
  • Whether they passed or failed.

To get the passed or failed status reported back I can't have the tracking based on the quiz results slide because this overwrites my custom passing score, which is based on the combined score, not the built-in score for the quiz slides.

This means that I need to find a way to report all of the data via Javascript, as using the 'hidden' survey slide technique requires the tracking to be set to track by a quiz results slide.

Is this possible? I know how to report the final score and a passed or failed status, but don't know how I'd report questions and answers. I've done lots of Google searches, but have only found how to set scores and statuses.

Thanks.

Hi Leslie.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I can't use that technique, as it needs the tracking to be based on a quiz results slide. This means the custom passed/failed status being written by the JavaScript code gets overwritten by the built-in passed/failed status. That's fine for standard quizzing, but in this case my passed/failed status is based on a more complex confidence-based scoring system which can't be picked up by the built-in scoring system.
