Quiz capabilities of Storyline

Hi all,

Just a question about the the Quiz capabilities of Storyline if anyone out there can help...

With the aforementioned software, I have just produced an e-learning course with a set

of 8 information slides with a test afterwards. At the end, on slide 9, I have set it up so a

random set of questions are loaded from a question bank. These consist of all the

possible types of questions that you can produce with storyline such fill in th blank,

true or false, multiple choice, click on the hotspot with an image inserted etc etc.

Now, I have uploaded this to the company LMS, set myself up as a "dummy user" etc

and then done this course and the test at the end etc. I logged out, logged back in as an

administrator and looked at this user's results etc.

All it says is that the user "passed". Now what I would like is to see is:-

  1. The user has gone through the first 8 slides OK
  2. If the user has passed the test or not at the end with a score 8/10 (let's say I set it up so that the pass-mark is 70% etc)
  3. What the user has entered for each individual question. I want to see the actual answers.

Now, is this technically possible within storyline?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Keith,

The information that you'll have access to may depend on your LMS, and there are some general reporting and tracking troubleshooting tips here.  Depending on your LMS, you may be able to report a completion and a success status, as described here. 

The information that Storyline will send to your LMS is detailed here and how Storyline will communicate completion to your LMS. 

Lastly, if you'd like to ensure that your users have to view all slides, you may want to change the "navigation" behavior within the menu. 

    • Free: This allows learners to click on the titles in the course's menu to navigate to any part of the course at any time. They can view whatever slides they wish, in any order.
    • Restricted: This means learners can view the current slide and any slide they've previously viewed, but they can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides.
    • Locked: This means learners can only view the slides in the order you've designed. They can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides, nor can they use it to skip back to any previously viewed slides.
  2. Click OK when you're done.

Keep in mind that if you use Locked or Restricted navigation, this only affects your learners' ability to click on menu items to navigate. If your slides include a Previous or Next button, users will still be able to click those to move forward and backward in your course at will. To prevent that, there are a few things you can do:

  • One approach is to remove the Previous and/or Next buttons from specific slides by changing the Slide Properties. Then, either make the slide advance automatically (which you can also do in the Slide Properties), or create your own Previous and/or Next buttons and use the Timeline to delay the buttons' appearance until the slide is finished playing.
  • Another approach is to add a condition to the Next button's trigger, so that the button works only if a specific condition is met (such as the slide timeline ending). For more on how to add conditions to your triggers, see this tutorial.
