Retrieving Survey Data from LMS

Oct 17, 2018

I have 2 results screens, one for quiz results so data can go to LMS for course status and one for survey results to see how users responded to several survey questions. When I publish to the LMS I can only see the graded quiz Interaction IDs to report on that data. I need to get interaction IDs for the survey slides so I can also report on that. Not sure if the problem is in Storyline and my setup there or an issue within our LMS (LTG/NetDimensions).

Hi there, Sandy.  If I understand correctly, you have a results slide that tracks the normal quiz questions, and one that tracks survey questions.  When you published your course for LMS, you would have chosen a single results slide to send information to the LMS.

Storyline can only send information from one results slide.  You may want to look at including your survey questions in the quiz results slide.  That way, survey answers can be sent along with other quiz data to your LMS.

Let me know if that works.  Feel free to share your .story file as well for a closer look!

Hi Crystal,

Maybe this is the best corner to put my question; so first of all which option is better for reporting purposes (if I'm looking for actual responses): "Calculate results for questions, or results slides" ?

Looking at 'interaction attempts' data sheets of the LMS, it's always empty. I was told to make sure the "interactions" are activated in my SCORM packaging to capture the user responses in quiz/survey questions.

Does this make sense to you? If so, how do I make it happen?

Hello Socrates, 

To determine which option in the Results Slide is more suitable for your course, you'll first have to consider how you'd like your learners to be scored.

  • If your course has more than one quiz, and you'd like to record how your learners did on all or more than one of the quizzes, then you can use the 'Calculate results for results slide' option, provided that each of the quizzes has its own results slide.
  • If you only want to track a specific set of questions, usually from a final quiz in your course, then you can use the 'Calculate results for questions' instead. Here's an article which explains how to use the Results Slide

If you're having issues with the reporting of your course in your LMS, I'd recommend testing your course in SCORM Cloud to isolate if the issue is LMS specific or not. You can create a free account here, and this video shows how to use SCORM Cloud with your Articulate content.
