Storyline doesn't have a native method to exchange information with MySQL (or traditional database system). I have built solutions for clients that utilize custom javascript and web objects to accomplish two way communications between Storyline and external web data sources. I might suggest you consider an LMS or LRS system if you are looking to save and exchange student performance data.
If custom data, you might search these forums for ideas and samples on exchanging data with Google Sheets.
@Nicholas Soldatenko - thank you SO much. I have visited the cluelabs site and I am genuinely excited. I have been in the CALL field for a very long time and it takes a lot to excite me - but this has. I will follow up for sure and trial it in some experimental work.

Thank you very much Brian. Good information!
If you don't have an LMS, you can use the data cloud widget: https://cluelabs.com/data-cloud-elearning-widget.html
Google Sheets are an option too, but way too complicated for no reason since you can just use the data cloud.

I too would prefer to avoid Google Sheets.
Thanks again.
