Reporting quiz pass/fail driven by variables

HI Brian

you could have a result slide after each challenge = 4 result slides, then a final result slide that pulls them all together and this is the one you report to the LMS.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks very much for your reply. The only problem with this is if the learner passes a challenge on first attempt then they'll not need to complete it on 2nd attempt. If there was a result slide after each (1st and 2nd attempt) learners will get anything from 4 to 8 results slides completed.

I've tried pushing the learner down a pass path and fail path based on whether they've passed or failed the entire course. My plan was then to base the overall course result on the pass path so if they went down this route the overall course passed (it is based on a result slide on this pass route only that's set to pass). If they were sent down the fail route then they simply would bypass the slide that determines course pass fail. Unfortunately this didn't work on first attempt.

So is there a way of returning a course pass/fail based on the value of a pass/fail variable?

Maybe I'm not understanding - your result slide at the end of each quiz  would allow them to retry the quiz if they failed on first attempt but it would be on second attempt it would register the result)

This is how I thought it would work

Quiz 1 Try - Fail, Retry, Pass - Pass result on Result Slide 1

Quiz 2 Try - Pass - Pass result on Result Slide 2

Quiz 3 Try - Fail, Retry, Fail - Fail result on Result Slide 3

Quiz 4 Try - Pass - Pass result on Result Slide 4

Combined result slide send combined score to LMS

Sorry if I am off base.

This is how it looks Wendy:

Quiz 1 - Attempt (scene) 1 - Result slide 1

Quiz 1 - Attempt (scene) 2 - Result slide 2 (only completed if learner fails 1st attempt)

Quiz 2 - Attempt (scene) 1 - Result slide 3

Quiz 2 - Attempt (scene) 2 - Result slide 4 (only completed if learner fails 1st attempt)

Quiz 3 - Attempt (scene) 1 - Result slide 5

Quiz 3 - Attempt (scene) 2 - Result slide 6 (only completed if learner fails 1st attempt)

Quiz 4 - Attempt (scene) 1 - Result slide 7

Quiz 4 - Attempt (scene) 2 - Result slide 8 (only completed if learner fails 1st attempt)

Your solution won't work in my case as it's impossible to know whether to include the result from the 1st or 2nd attempt for each quiz.

Hi Brian!

Would it be better to utilize a re-try from the result slide options versus another quiz with a different result?

By default, the Retry Quiz button appears whether the learner passes or fails a quiz, but you can change this behavior if you only want it to display when the learner fails. Here's how.

When you enable the Retry Quiz button on the result slide for a quiz, learners will have an unlimited number of attempts to take the quiz. But you can change this behavior by adding a variable to track the number of attempts and a couple of triggers to set a limit on the number of quiz attempts allowed. See this tutorial for details.

Hi Leslie,

Our client has given us specific sets of questions for 1st and 2nd attempt so unfortunately we can't use this method.

I've used a cocktail of the following and have sent off for publishing. I'll report back if it works - fingers crossed!

Well, I managed to get the course to report the correct status (passed/incomplete) at the end depending on whether they pass the course (get all quizzes correct) or not using these instructions: https://elearningenhanced.com/blog/2012/09/13/update-storyline-courses-status-lms-javascript

Regarding passing the variable values to the LMS it simply didn't work: https://en-uk.articulate.com/support/storyline/reporting-storyline-variables-to-an-lms

When the variable values are passed to the LMS are they then visible in the LMS as 'results'? I realise LMSs are all different but what are these variables seen as when they get passed to the LMS? Perhaps I need a 'Passed/Failed' report to the LMS?

I've just seen this (last line) - does this mean the LMS will get sent the question text and answers if we publish in Scorm 2004/Tin can?

Hi Brian!

Sounds like you are utilizing an unsupported method to get the results you need. It is true, as you can see in our article here, that with the regular data sent to the LMS you woul dneed to publish to SCORM 2004 or Tin Can API to get the question text. Not sure how that pertains to the solution you are utilizing. You may wish to reach out directly to James Kingsley here.

Hi Leslie,

I changed the settings to pass/fail (rather than passed/incomplete) and to report the results slide (rather than total number of slides). Now it reports back a 'passed' for the overall course regardless if the learner has passed or not. On the bright side it now shows details of the 4 sections and if they, individually have been passed or not.

I suppose this is the best option as although the overall course pass fail is not accurate, you can look at the individual sections and if all are passed then it's overall course pass. If any section is incorrect then it's an overall course fail. It's a bit roundabout but does work.

I will try going back to passed/incomplete but leave the reporting on the 'last slide' and see what happens. Wish me luck!

Of course. Good luck Brian :)

I do appreciate you popping in to share your findings and solutions with the community.

OK, the results are the same, i.e. reports a 'passed' result every time but does capture the pass/fail status of each of the 4 sections. Anyway, thanks everyone for your help with this.

Regarding the Question ID labelling is there any way to make it more user friendly (see attached screenshot)?

Hi Brian!

Are you publishing to SCORM 2004 as you mentioned above? Perhaps this thread will assist as well.

I'm hedging my bets on this article.

If the learner gets all the quizzes right then I'm directing them to slide A with the following javascript:  SetStatus("Passed")

If the learner gets any quiz wrong then I'm directing them to slide B with the following javascript:  SetStatus("Failed")

The course then proceeds with some slides and then exits.

I've no other instructions in the course to submit results etc.

On Tracking I've it set to 'Track number of slides viewed' which is set to a number that will never be reached.

On Reporting I've it set to 'Passed/Failed' but I suppose this will not matter due to the above javascript.

Am I on the right tracks or am I missing something (just waiting on publishing to test).

Hi Brian! 

Sounds like you may be on the right track, but I am no JavaScript expert :) Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and better assist. Also, James Kingsley is a member of our forums. You could reach out to him here if you have questions about his method.
