Storing completed quizzes
Jul 05, 2016

Hi all,
We have been asked by a regulatory agency to have hard copies of the learners tests saved and stored in their personal files. (if not possible, we would be happy with electronic versions to attempt to appease them).
Having the learner print results to pass into their administrators enables them to also have copies of the correct answers which is not something we can have happen.
I tried assigning the results button with e-mailing capabilities which only provided an e-mail link and it didn't attach a file of the completed quiz.
Has anyone been down this road before or can think of a workaround?
Cheers

Matthew is correct, as this functionality is one of the top reasons for an LMS. Outside of an LMS, you'd probably find yourself building out a small web based service that receives the responses and generates a transcript. Thus, a microsized LMS without the database footprint. I'm finishing one such project which simply generates a completion certificate and student transcript - both in watermarked PDFs
Hi Matthew and Brian,
We are using a leading LMS provider (SAP) and are asking this same question to them. We can pull reports of completion with grades/dates/ time etc. and generate certificates (not easily mind you) but the agency is requiring a hard copy of the actual online quiz which we hoped could be sent to a specified file so admin could print and file.
Brian, can you define what you mean by "transcript" for me please.
Cheers
I've helped many clients instrument SL to track individual responses to question (and more) into highly detailed reports they frequently call transcripts. For example clients wish to know student A answered "C" to question 5 without employing a full blown LMS & xAPI solution. And SL is quite accommodating and extensible to that request.
Brian,
Please excuse my lack of experience on this topic. If I understand correctly, with your help, SL can supply us with some fashion of a copy of the quizzes with learners answers and results either automatically or as needed?
Cheers
Hi Brian W,
Storyline will report the data to your LMS As detailed here. It'll be up to your LMS and the publishing method you need to use (i.e. SCORM 1.2 vs. 2004) what that data will look like in terms of a report. You may also want to look at the information here in terms of how to generate a certificate of completion, as although it's not built right into Storyline there are ways to accomplish it.
Thanks Ashley,
I am in the process of having a "test" quiz (SCORM 2004) uploaded to our LMS which we will see if we can pull the appropriate report.
Cheers
Sounds good and feel free to keep us posted! You may also want to share which LMS you're using so that others can share their expertise on what that LMS is capable of.
Certainly will report back as I feel this is a very important topic due to the regulatory implications of having the actual test in the employee files.
We are using Success Factors (SAP) as an LMS.
Cheers
