Yes, if you want to get the data in your LMS (scorm 2004), you have to pass the variable into a survey question. It is a little complicated, let me explain this to you :
- you create your slide with your text-entry fields. Rename the variables automatically created by "user-answer-var" names.
- then you create survey slides (short answer or essay type), as many slides as there are questions. Theses slides must be blank (you put for instance a black rectangle with a sentence "uploadnig answers...please wait..."
- in each of these survey slides, you enter your question in the form view (that is for a better reading in the scorm variables), and then create a trigger as following :
adjust variable"variable automatically created for the survey slide", assignment, variable, "your user-answer-variable", when timeline ends.
- Then you ajust each slide to 1s and create a trigger so that the slides goes automatically to the next slide (when timeline ends) (uncheck submit button also).
- at the end of all that, you create a survey results slide.
When you publish, don't forget to check that survey result slide in tracking options.
I've made really quickly a little example in attachment. Hope I didn't make mistakes but all the logic is here and it works on my LMS.
Thanks a lot, I've made a big step with your tricky method:)
My last concern (and important one) is when I uploaded your story document within my LMS and exported the results, the "answer" column is empty. I've checked the export settings and take care to take the results slide into matter...
I've checked with my LMS scorm console, and the variable is OK, the answer is set in cmi.interactions.learner_response .
It depends on the LMS you're using, but you have to go on the detailed results section of your activity.
I don't know what type of variable goes in your "answer" column (can you make a screenshot?), but maybe it's only there for the numeric score-type variable (quiz scores for example). Which is not the case for survey text-type variable.
On my LMS, i have to go in the section "details" to exploit these answers.
Thanks Mehdi for helping out! Arnaud, if you need any support from us, you can share what you've got so far here, as well.
If you are still unable to get those answers to report to your LMS, I recommend testing your published output in SCORM Cloud to make sure that Storyline is reporting that information properly. It helps to determine if the problem is with the file or the LMS. Thanks!

Hi,
For text type questions, you can start from a blank page, and create as many "text entry" fields as you like (insert/controls/text entry field).
It will automatically create a trigger with a variable attached to it (you can rename the variable as you like).
How do you want to process/extract these data then ?
Hi Medhi,
Thanks for your answers.
I will get those datas through my LMS (upgraduate).
About your answer, do I have to transform those text fields into Survey fields ?
Thanks again;

Let me know if that is ok for you.

What LMS are you using ?
I've checked with my LMS scorm console, and the variable is OK, the answer is set in cmi.interactions.learner_response .

Hey there, thanks for both your answers.
Medhi, I've reuploaded your sory file, uploaded it within my LMS (articulate compliant and partner as it seems), and within SCOM cloud.
What I dont get is actually what users have submitted in the 3 fields you've created on first slide.
Please have a look to both screenshots (SCORM cloud and Upgraduate), you'll see that in both case, the "answer column" is empty.
Maybe I made a mistake during the export, but I followed your advices...
Thanks again,
Hi Arnaud,
I just put the published version in Scorm Cloud and it works.
Maybe I forgot to tell you that you ABSOLUTELY need to export in SCORM 2004 version !
Sorry if that wasn't the case...
Don't worry, you told it to me, and so I did :)
Any case, datas are indeed collected inside SCORM, I'll try to contact my LMS platform about datas extraction. Thanks for your help !
You're welcome !!
