Capturing answers from users

Apr 23, 2024

I am looking for a way to capture the answers the users are entering into a course. Most of the questions are choice selections with a few essay questions.

I have tested the course on two different LMS systems. One the support was able to generate a report but it is not clear as to what has been captured. For example, it will say learner's response is 'i' but I am not sure where the letter component is coming from.

Example of test responses

You should refer to SCORM1.2 Run-Time Environment documentation. Search for: cmi.interactions.n.correct_responses.n.pattern and cmi.interactions.n.student_response.

From the spec: "...the pattern is one or more characters separated by a comma.  Integers (0-9), letters (a - z) or both may be used.  Each possible response is limited to a single character.

Example:



This is a multiple-response question with four choices, where two choices are correct. I selected one correct and one incorrect choice. In this example, in "correct_responses.pattern", "cc" indicates that there are two correct responses, where in "learner_response",  "c" represents one correct response and "3" represents an incorrect response. If I selected two correct choices my "learner_response" would indicate "cc". 

If published to SCORM 2004, this report would be more readable and user-friendly.
