Pulling a Variable into SCORM Output

Jul 30, 2013

I'm creating a series of professional development modules that will be deployed via Blackboard LEARN. I am wondering if there is a way to have the value of a given variable display in the quizzing results associated with the quiz (not necessarily as part of a quiz). For example, if I have a given variable, and over the course of the module that variable has accrued the value 10, is there a way to have that value spit out for me when I view the results of a user's attempt at the module? I have a feeling there might be a way to do this using a quiz question, but it's important to me that students don't have to go through any additional steps so it would have to be submitted automatically with triggers.

Any clever ideas?

The best way of doing this is to add it into a question and report that to the LMS, just have a hidden question slide that submits the value before the results slide

Thanks for the quick reply, Phil! I had a feeling the solution might be something like that, but I'm not really sure specifically how to set that up with triggers. I played around with it and I couldn't figure it out. Can you give me a really basic example?

Hi Victoria

This uses a hidden question, you probably want to use a survey question instead, I just set it to a scored question so you could see it working.

The correct answer is Phil for your name

Hope this helps

Phil,

Thanks for your help. The issue I'm running into is that the value I want to collect is a number. Using this method, I only have the option of setting the TextEntry variable to the same value as another text-based variable. Any idea how I can convert my number variable to text?
