Populate database for test results

May 29, 2019

Hello please help, 

I want to be able to monitor how well each learner across my organisation did in an e learning test within storyline 3. We have an LMS but this only records whether they passed or not and the score. I need more detail than this so we can identify trends.

Ideally I would like the result for each question to populate a column in an excel database - so when the learner submits on the final slide the LMS get updated along with an excel database with the results from each individual question. 

Is there a solution using java script that someone could point me to please? 

Many thanks, 

John.

As far as I remember the NLMS is OLM which is not a great LMS. It should be saving the interaction data, it is then just a question of if a report exists to run on that data.

Have you logged a support call on this?

You should be able to save out to a database, James Kingsley has a blog post on elearning brothers that shows how to save data into firebase, the only issue will be cross domain. I seem to remember that most elearning is not installed into NLMS but uses a bridge to send data

Thanks for your reply Phil, I’ve attached a pic of the report fields I have available in OLM/ESR, which doesn’t give me the detail I require. 

The e-learning is all hosted elsewhere and is sent over by SCORM. I’ll log a support call, but was hoping for a work around for a course I’ve wrote which needs to go live ASAP.
