Post-quiz Test Item Analysis
Jun 02, 2015

Dear Colleagues, I am evaluating Storyline 2 as the preferred authorware tool for my company. It is important for us to be able to perform post-test analysis and validation on test questions and answers at a macro level. For example, we need to know that a particular question was presented 500 times and that it was answered correctly only 300 times. I understand from the Articulate sales rep that the information necessary for this type of reporting is exported by Storyline 2 and that it is up to our LMS to generate any reports. Does anyone have a sample of the type data that is pushed via SCORM to the LMS?
Thanks,
Callum

Hi Callum -
This will be in the SCORM interactions portion of the SCORM data model. The model varies a bit for SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. For richer data, you'll want to use SCORM 2004 unless your LMS doesn't play well with that version. This is the data reference (what the SCORM file will communicate to the LMS) for SCORM 2004.
Storyline will send the data for each submitted interaction to the LMS using the appropriate elements. It is up to your LMS to provide analytics and reporting capability. What LMS are you using? Some are stronger than others. Many LMS use the labels bolded below for data reports.
Steve,
Thanks. This is precisely what I needed. I appreciate the help.

Hi, Callum - Delighted to hear that you got the help you needed! Thanks, Steve. :)
Steve, so are you saying that it is the LMS that is responsible for incrementing the interactions._count variable and assigning the unique interaction ID (that Storyline generates) to a new "n" in the interactions array? Or is Storyline supposed to send the "n" in the interactions array?
Our "LMS" is only reporting on interactions.0 and appears to be overwriting that value with each quiz question that comes in, so that only the last question is stored.
On the other hand, SCORM Cloud is storing all of the unique interaction ids that Storyline is sending. I'm just not seeing the interaction.n value in reportage.
Thanks!
Hi Jonathan -
I believe Storyline is sending the interaction index when each interaction is sent to the LMS. If the LMS is only reporting the first interaction, it seems like the LMS could be misinterpreting the call. Which LMS are you using?
