I built this Beautiful course in Storyline 2. It is based around the pull theory, with a catch. If the learner decides to go directly to the Assessment, they will encounter a tougher quiz than if they go through all the scenarios to teach them the material. Here is my issue.
In order to make the different quiz I have a variable path in my course. Basically I end up with two different Results slides, when each learner will only reach one of them. How do I get this to give completion in LMS, regardless of the Assessment the Learner takes?
If I made the quizzes the same and just changed the variable for the Passing score, I could use the same quiz. Is there a way to edit the "Results.PassPoints" variable with another variable that relies on the states of my main menu buttons (visited or normal)?
The variables such as Results.PassPoints are not accessible, and only internal variables. You may want to review a thread such as this one where users discuss a few different scenarios for dealing with the user only taking one quiz in the course.
I was trying to create a variable that controlled the value that was entered into the Results.PassPoints variable, but that didnt work either. Could I create a variable to use in a single quiz to use in replacement of the stock Results.PassPoints variable? Or is the results determined by that variable only?
The variables on the results slide are what is passed to your LMS, and they're based on the score/point elements you set on the individual quiz questions, the total number of questions, and what you set as the passing score. But they can't be adjusted with triggers or similar.
In the attached SL 2 file you'll find three quizzes. I created triggers such that the 4th results slide submits the results of the quiz/path that the learner completed. I tested it on our LMS today, and saw that it would only record the score if the learner passed the quiz, and it reported 100%, not 33.33%.
Let us know if you see the same results. The top choice is always the correct answer.
I realized my pass.point etc selections in the previous posts's file were not correct. And since I had pass score as 100%, I wasn't seeing the problem with the way SL submits scores to the LMS.
Here is the SL file with the correct triggers. But I'm not getting the score submission to act the way I want. Although I have 50% as passing score for the three results slides of the quizzes, it records 100% when I pass one of the quizzes. What's great is that it won't record a score if I fail the quiz (i.e. get 0% because I get both questions wrong), but when I answer one correctly and the other incorrectly (i.e. get 50% score), it still submits 100% to the LMS. So I guess, this file works if your quizzes' passing score is 100% - because there won't be a discrepency between the score the learner got in one of the quizzes when s/he passed it and the score the LMS shows.
p.s. I could have sworn after saving and reopening the file, the triggers automatically change from pass.percent to pass.point...
I have not tried this so can't guarantee that it would work, but what if you created the second assessment in a separate Storyline project (publish it to your LMS) and then inserted it as a web object into your main Storyline project. This way you could track separate results slides.
My separate quizzes were meant to give someone who knows the material, and wants to test out, a different difficulty than someone who goes through the teaching scenarios.
I have since canned the idea, not only because the difficulty getting Articulate to report from mulitlple results slides, but because of my timeline on the project. I went with only one assessment and one difficulty level, but found that I could reward the learner that goes through the entire course with easter egg answers to the assessment questions.

I guess I will get rid of the second Assessment then. (insert sad face here) I will still keep the pull function though.
Seems like maybe in the next edition, they could build a little more flexibility into the results.
Hi Terry,
You're always welcome to share your thoughts on this in the form of a feature request here.
I did submit the request and tagged this thread in it.

+1 for Sara being super aware and updating her generous share :)
