On our question slides we have a 'I don't know' button which simply lets the learner skip answering the question and go onto the next slide. There is a 'Next' button which submits the interaction once the learner has filled in their answer.
However, if the learner clicks the 'I don't know button' the LMS doesn't pick up on it as an incorrect or skipped answer - is there a way of programming it so that it is classed as 'incorrect' or skipped in LMS ?
To put it simply - I'd like the learner to click on the 'skip/I don't know' button and LMS to record it as failed or incomplete or incorrect. At the moment it's not registering as skipped.
Hey Leslie thanks for your help! The main problem we have is that the LMS can't differentiate between intentionally skipped questions and ones that haven't been visited at all- both types are being recorded as 'null' - just need something to tell them apart....
Hi Leslie, cheers for the advice. I have a custom built submit button which has the the trigger 'submit interaction' - this reports fine in the LMS if the user clicks on it. But if the user clicks on a custom built Next button labelled as 'I don't know' it reports as null. This would be fine if the learner was able to visit every slide in the test but because of different branches in the maze-like test ,missed slides report back as null too. Do you think the 'submit all at once' feature is still relevant to this scenario?
I think the submit all at once could work for this, as it sounds like your questions aren't being submitted based on the users' other selection. Could you also look at including that custom next button as an "incorrect" answer and adding a trigger to submit the question when the user clicks it?

Any help appreciated! :)
Hey Anita!
Within the software, only ungraded questions are optional. You can check out this tutorial for assistance with that.
Otherwise, hopefully someone will be able to chime in to assist you with your design.

Hey Anita - I've seen users set up something similar within the software using variables/states, but not to communicate with the LMS.
If you need to skip questions, perhaps setting up your quiz to submit all at once vs one at a time would work better for you.

Hi Ashley, thanks for your help.
I have already opted for associating an incorrect response to the button in question! I think it's the best solution for our project. :)
No problem Anita, and glad you found a method that'll work for you!
