Marking a course complete

Jan 30, 2017

I'm delivering a SCORM course which is tracked via a hidden quiz on the penultimate page - the final click of Next answers the question. (There are some optional popup pages, so I can't track on just landing on every page).

My client is worried that the learner might quit from the penultimate page because they think they're done, and wants landing on it to trigger the completion. 

How do I make a quiz that doesn't require any interaction to be marked as answered?

Hi Martin -

When we did this, we had an off screen radio button that was automatically selected as part of a Pick One freeform quiz question when the timeline started. However, in order for the results slide to track success of the "quiz," the learner still needed to click Next to submit the results slide, so that's not any different than your current set up. I'll be curious if anyone knows a way to do this without clicking Next.

The way we've handled the concern of the learner exiting too soon is to have instructions on the "hidden quiz" slide that makes it very clear that the learner needs to proceed to the next slide in order to have the course mark as complete. I'm not sure if this is an option you would have, but it worked for us. We had a bright green bar along the bottom of the second-to-last slide with these instructions: "Continue to the next slide to ensure your completion of this training is properly tracked." The final slide was then the Results slide for the previous slide's "quiz;" however, to the learner it just looked like a summary slide and had an Exit Course button.

I hope this helps! Good luck!
