Lesson Status - Turn off - What is this?

Dec 15, 2014

I have 6 modules in 1 course and a questionaire in each module,I have put it in LMS and when I answer all questions wrong it says I have completed.

I have had an email back from the LMS team saying the below and I am not sure what that means or what i need to do. Can someone please help?

So the upshot is, the LessonStatus result is set to pass everyone – this is a problem with the content, not with DOTS.

 The content should be either calculating the data on the fly and returning ‘fail’ if they haven’t passed 80% - or LessonStatus should be off, and the scores be returning values to DOTS for calculation.

Appreciate your help.

I guess your LMS-Providers name is DOTS? 

What they actually are saying is that the problem is connected to your file, not the lms. 
Or more like "Dont blame us, you the one who did wrong"

What i THINK they want you to do is to set a number on each question (or more lika a point) 
if you got 6 question i guess you want to set each question to 16,6 % but that not really important, you can give each correct answer 1 point. 
Then DOTS count the correct answer/point and if you get more than 80 percent THEY set lessonStatus= Passed.

How have you set tracking?  Do you have a results slide for only those six question?

You should set up a results slide for the six questions (set your passmark on the results slide) and then on publish set it to track via this slide.

I effect they must get 5 questions correct.  If you have already done this check the questions are set up correctly.  Also you may need to change how Storyline reports it may be DOTS only excepts certain parameters, I would try passed/failed as it is a quiz.

Hi Beck,

In addition to the suggestions shared above, I also wanted to share the information here on troubleshooting general LMS issues. Additionally you may want to look at testing in SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for testing SCORM content to help narrow down if the issue is in your content or if it's how the LMS is reading the information.

Thank you very much for your responses. I can't set a results slide up, some modues have 10 questions others have 3, I can't say to pass each module they need to get 80% because the modules with 3 questions you either get 100% correct or you don't pass the 80%.

Jacob, how do you set up points per question?

Thank you

you can set up a results slide for each module, set your pass rate for each module on the results slide and the set up a results slide of results slides.  Set this so that user must pass all the results slides and then use this for passing the result.

Jocob's solution would require a results slide.  the only other option is to track by slides and design the course so they can only aperitif they view all the slides.

Tracking is by either slides viewed or a results slide, the LMS will get the completed status from the tracking, if you do not want to track then you need some way of doing this in the LMS or just upload a publish to web instead of publish to Scorm.

Tracking via number of slides viewed does just that - the LMS will only look at the number of slides the participant viewed and will not track scoring data. If you want the LMS to track scoring data then you must setup your results slides with a minimum score required and to track with passed/incomplete (default), or passed/failed. If your course has multiple modules, each with its own pass/fail setup, then you will need results slides for each module, and a master results slide tracking all of those in the top level. The setup would be something like this:

A. Main course module

A1. Sub-module 1

A1.a Sub-module 1 results slide

B1. Sub-module 2

B1.a Sub-module 2 results slide

A. Main course module master results slide

In this course we have an overall course module containing two sub-modules. In each of the sub-modules we have a results slide that tracks the sub-module score.  We then have the main course results slide set to track the two sub-module results slides. Based on what you described above, I think this is your best bet.

Thank you very much, so I will add a results slide to each module. My next question, is there a way I can add the result slide without showing it?

I have set it up, I have set it up after Congratulations you have finished this module slide and have placed the result slide after this slide and have removed the next icon so they can't click on it. This results issues should still work shouldn't it.

Also, if I say they have to pass each module 100% and the LMS calculates that they have to pass 80% correct over the 6 modules. That is right isn't it?

I really appreacite all your advice. Thanks

Hi Rebecca. The answer is no. In order for the results slide to pass results to the LMS, it needs to tabulate them and will send them at the time you specify via the Submit Results trigger. I suppose you could try just putting that trigger on a different slide and that may work. However, I suggest you use the results slide as your final slide. You can tailor content on it however you wish, so it does not have to have the look and feel that you see from the stock template.

It should take all six modules into account and tabulate based on the scores from each. So if you have all six modules linked to the master results slide, then it will look at each of the scores and it should average them for a final score, which would need to be 80% or greater to pass the course (if you have it set to 80%). None of the modules will pass unless they have achieved a score greater than or equal to whatever you have set for each module though.

Hi Rebecca,

When you refer to a module, are you talking about one .story file? All the results slides will need to be in the same .story file and set up as standard results slides to be accessible to another results slide. You can modify how they look - but would need to have inserted them using the "insert new slide -> results slide". You may want to take a look at this tutorial to see how it looks and appears.

Hello Stacia. There is a difference. Completed/Not Complete is different from Pass/Fail. Pass/Fail reports users pass/fail status in terms of how they scored on the course. When the course is set to Pass/Fail, you must enter a minimum required score. Complete/Incomplete simply tracks whether or not a user completed the training by slides viewed and does not really care about what their scores were on the tests.
