Short Answer Survey

Apr 16, 2020

Hi All,

I have a bit of a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I am trying to use a short answer survey question to carry over a variable to our LMS. I've found the article that walks you through what steps to take, however, every time I go to select my variable in to the trigger it does not show up. In fact none of the variables I've created do. Do I have the slide in the wrong place or am I missing something else. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Nicole

Hi Nicole,

Happy to help! 

While it is difficult to determine what the cause might be, there are few parameters to check to send these values to the LMS

  • Short Answer survey questions are created for each variable that you want to report to the LMS.
  • Each variable is assigned to one of the question slides.
  • Link the question slides to a result slide.
  • Select that result slide as your tracking option when you publish.

Hi Vincent,

So I realized my problem was that I was trying to do a short answer survey for a numeric variable. However, I did read that instead of a short answer survey you could add a how many questions and send that variable over as you LMS score. But for whatever reason I cannot seem to make this work. I'm uploading my training on to the private site for you to take a look at. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

THanks,

Nicole
