Quiz Setup

It sounds like you could use Survey questions, such as Likert scales for indicating their level of pain. To get the survey responses sent to the LMS, be sure to include a Results slide. 

One drawback to Likert survey questions: You can't provide feedback to the user that's based on their responses.  To do that, you'd need custom questions.

Here's a post about tracking customs questions for use within a course: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-track-responses-to-custom-questions-or-surveys 

• It takes extra work to get those results to the LMS: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Send-the-Value-of-a-Variable-to-an-LMS 

I believe I'd need custom questions. I want the user to be routed to two different slides, depending on how they responded. If they have problems that need to be investigated, I want to route them to an instruction slide that tells them how to report their issue. If they do not have problems, they should be routed to a slide that tells them no further action is required. I will check out what you sent about custom questions. Thank you!

FYI: Depending on how you want to set up your questions, you may not need custom questions. Here are the types of Survey Questions: 

• If you use Pick One or Pick Many questions, you can check which button is in the Selected state.
• If you use Short Answer or How Many survey questions, you can check what the value of the entered variable is.

You could use the state or value info in a trigger condition that steers the user to the appropriate slide. That's also how the tracking and branching is done for custom questions.

For other types of survey questions, the program just isn't designed to allow you check states or variables. The only way to get those responses is to submit them to an LMS. (Or use JavaScript.) 

The pick one option would work for my survey questions. I read through the demo training module you provided on tracking responses and the articles you shared. I think what I'll do is create Pick One survey questions, rate the "positive" answer as 2 points and the "negative" answer as 1 point. The total passing grade (I assume there's somewhere to assign a passing score) would be the sum of the 3 negative answers (3 points) with a total possible points being 6. That way everyone will pass, but if the user has a score of anything below a 6, the LMS would tell us who those people are so we could follow up. To generate the custom slide flow based on their answers: if the user scores a 6, I'll show a slide layer that tells them no further action required. If they get anything below a 6, I'll show a slide layer asking them to file a risk assessment. 

Survey questions don't have right or wrong answers. Hence, they aren't graded, and there are no built-in variables with a passing score or the user's score. 

If you score Survey Pick-One questions with custom programming, you'll also need special programming to send that score to the LMS (https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Send-the-Value-of-a-Variable-to-an-LMS ). 

Since you do want the "self assessment" info reported to the LMS, here's another option: use Graded Multiple Choice questions with some special settings. 

Set each question to Score By Choice. That allows you to assign a point value to each answer.

Set the Feedback for each question to None. With that setting, the program won't show Correct and Incorrect layers when the user submits the question. 

Also use a Graded Results slide. You can edit the base, Success, and Failure layers so the slide only shows the information you want the users to see. 

Ah, gotcha! I added in custom variables to the survey questions but was struggling to send those responses to the LMS. I like this option you outlined. Will give it a go. Thanks for all the help!

One more question... 

If I want everyone to technically pass... so the lowest score (3) is still considered a success, will I be able to get the "failure" layer with the custom message (you need to follow up with a risk assessment) to pop? They would have to "fail" to get the failure message, right? 

If so, perhaps I need to dig deeper into how to get the non-graded score I added custom to show in the LMS. 

I suggest that you set the passing score to 0%, and have everyone see the Success layer.

On the Success layer, you can show different messages based on the user's score. For example:

• Have a separate object (text box or shape) for each message. Set their Initial State to Hidden. For each object, have a  trigger that changes its state to Normal with a condition based on the score.

or

• Put both messages in different states of the same object. Use triggers with conditions to change to the appropriate state based on the score.

This is perfect! I followed your advice and set it up as graded... tested in LMS and worked like a charm. Thank you so much!

Is there a way to only pass the points vs. a percentage? For example, if I want to pass a score of 3 out of 6 vs. 50%, is that possible? 

The scoring is based on the % correct. That's what is submitted to the LMS.

However, you don't have to show the user their score as a percentage. Just delete that info from the Results slide, and display the ScorePoints / PassPoints variables instead. 

Ok, I did delete that info off of the results slide. Do you know if it's possible to set it up so that the user can't see their percent score in the LMS? Or does that vary based on the LMS platform used? 

I don't know, but I'd guess that's controlled by the LMS.
