SCORM not sending quiz score to LMS
Jan 24, 2013
Any help would be appreciated for the following problem:
SCORMs created in Storyline (current trial version) are running beautifully in my LMS (called SimplyDigi) but the actual score of a quiz is not being passed. Obviously, I am either setting something wrong in my publishing choices, or the LMS is not picking up the score.
I have tried all four settings in the publishing output.
Also switched up browsers.
Windows 7 under IE and Chrome.
Here is what the LMS tells me when I exit the SCORM after deliberately passing the quiz at the end (I don't see anything about the actual quiz score):

Hey John, welcome to Heroes!
Would you mind testing your course in SCORM Cloud to help us determine if the issue is Articulate-related or if it's on your LMS's side? If it appears in SCORM Cloud as well, we'd be happy to take a closer look at what might be going on. If you can't replicate the issue in SCORM Cloud, it's probably an issue that you'd want to take to your LMS team. The articles here and here may also help clear up common LMS issues.
Thanks!
no good in stormcloud. Yes, I am getting "Congratulations, your manifest looks great!" but the results are the same if I pass the quiz or don't pass it and I don't see where it is passing my actual score, which was 100% when deliberately passing and 66% when deliberately failing.

Thanks, John!
Mind sending in your results to our support team so they can take a closer look? Thanks!
Case submitted and accepted.
I have to suspect i have either built the quiz wrong or am missing the checkbox "Report score of quiz to LMS on finish" etc. Is there such a checkbox?
Problem solved by me, and also tech support sent the answer just as I found it. This forum should be able to spot the trouble associated with "score not passing to LMS" pretty easily, however. Here is the solution:
1) Select Publish->LMS. Make sure that you set the LMSto SCORM 1.2 or 2004.
2) Select Reporting and Tracking... button.
3) On the Reporting tab, please try to remove any specialcharacters (example: exclamation point!) to the Title and Identifier.
4) Select the Tracking tab. Make sure that you set yourtracking to "Track using quiz result".
5) Select Ok and publish button.
My issue was that I never saw that "Track using quiz result" selection. I am new and probably moving a little too fast!
Thanks to tech support for responding to the issue. Solved.
Thanks for the update, John! Glad you found the solution.
hi, I have followed the john´s steps but i have seen disabled the "Track using quiz result" option into the tracking tab. why?
below the example:
Hi Juanma!
Do you have a results slide in your project? If not, you won't be able to use that feature.
Let us know if you're still unable to use that option after inserting a results slide.
Thanks!
Juanma pointed out the type of tracking that I am doing for all of our modules in Blackboard. 4 module project, one of those modules has this error, the others are all tracking correctly. I am using the track using number of slides viewed, because I only care about completion of all slides. We do have some interactions in our project which may be tricking the articulate file into thinking the piece should be "track using quiz". How can I verify this is the issue though? The log in Blackboard only says "OverallSequencingProcess for SCORM 1.1 / SCORM 1.2". Do I need to make sure all results are cleared before tracking based on number of slides viewed?
Hi Todd and welcome to Heroes!
So you're tracking each .story file by slides viewed - and one of those is not working correctly within Blackboard? Are you able to review the original .story file to see how it was set up to confirm that it wasn't inadvertently tracked by a quiz results slide? If you had previously uploaded the course and then made a change to the tracking requirements - it could still be referring to the older version. I'd suggest trying to publish the problematic .story file again and load it into Blackboard as a new course to see how it behaves.
Thanks Ashley.
"So you're tracking each .story file by slides viewed - and one of those is not working correctly within Blackboard?"
Correct.
"Are you able to review the original .story file to see how it was set up to confirm that it wasn't inadvertently tracked by a quiz results slide?"
I checked the files we are working with all 4 modules are tracking "track using number of slides viewed"
I do think I figured out the problem though, there was a ":" in the title. Could this be the culprit? Is there any documentation surrounding acceptable characters for the title of the published item?
Hi Todd,
You'll want to avoid special characters, accents, etc. as detailed in this article and further in this article from Microsoft about naming conventions. So a colon could definitely have caused the issues. Are you able to republish without that?
Thanks.
Hi,
I also have an issue in updating cmi.core.session_time and cmi.core.total_time. I have a resource with few slides. My users have to read the slides any time. Based on the slides duration the time get updated in the session_time and finally stored in total_time.
If the user can read few slides only and went out the resource instead of reading all the slides. The partial time have to be updated in the database.
It is happening perfectly in other browsers like Firefox and IE, etc. But in Chrome(version 44.0) its not updating. Only when the user start to read slide from begin to end and complete the resource the time get updated in database. If partially read few slides, not updating the DB, it says 0000:00:00.
Why, is there any reason in Chrome browser???
Hi Senthilnathan,
The time spent in the course is handled by the LMS, as Storyline doesn't track duration on a slide as a user may spend more time than the timeline allows or less depending on how you've set it up. If it's not behaving correctly in Chrome I'd advise confirming with your LMS team that it's a supported browser and also look at testing it in SCORM Cloud as it's an industry standard for LMS content.
