Rules for publishing and validating a module

Jan 23, 2020

Hello,

I have a problem with a module that validates a learner's knowledge with his score.

Indeed, I would like that if the module has been completed and/or validated by the learner, this score should remain unchanged even if the learner goes back to consult it again (even if the learner takes the quiz again and has a lower score).

For the moment, the new score is automatically sent to the LMS even if it is lower than the previous one. Whereas the best attempt should remain recorded on the LMS (and not the last one).

Is there a setting to be made on Articulate? or is it a problem specific to the LMS?

Thank you in advance for your answer,
Maya

Hello Maya and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Typically, the Review Mode behavior is handled by the LMS. If you'd only like improved scores to be recorded in your LMS, there are some changes you can make within your Storyline output.

Editing published files are not supported by Articulate but you can edit the configuration.js file located in the LMS folder of the published course and then make a few changes: 

Search for the following lines in the configuration.js file: 

  • var SCORE_CAN_ONLY_IMPROVE = false; //set this to true to ensure that on subsequent attempts, a learner's score can only go up 
  • var REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY = true; //set this to true if no new data should be saved when a course is launched in review mode (normally this is the LMS's responsibility) 

Change the lines to the following: 

  • var SCORE_CAN_ONLY_IMPROVE = true; //set this to true to ensure that on subsequent attempts, a learner's score can only go up 
  • var REVIEW_MODE_IS_READ_ONLY = false; //set this to true if no new data should be saved when a course is launched in review mode (normally this is the LMS's responsibility) 

After saving the changes, ZIP the course and again and upload it to your LMS.
