Storyline and QuestionMark Perception
Aug 31, 2012

I am really trying to convince my company to move to Storyline from Adobe Captivate. Storyline has better design functionality. However, there may be one sticky point when it comes to publishing. We do not have an LMS that is available to everyone. Currently, we publish Captivate files as .qml files and upload them into QuestionMark Perception. This way we can track whether employees have viewed the eLearning modules.
I do not see an option to publish a .qml file in Storyline that can be uploaded into QuestionMark. I assume there isn't one, but wanted to see if anyone knew of a workaround.

Hi Melanie, you correct that Storyline does not publish .qml files.
I don't have a workaround for you but was wondering if QuestionMark accepts any other file formats?
Thanks, Nancy. Unfortunately, QuestionMark only accepts .qml for what we need to do. If my company only made the LMS available to everyone, we wouldn't have this issue!
Companies have a way of making life difficult for people. Sorry I could not be of more help. Maybe you could switch to Articulate online for this type of thing.
No worries. Thanks for trying to help. We'll figure something out.
Hello All,
I am the CEO of Questionmark and we, at Questionmark, would be keen to help. We admire Articulate's team and their product offerings. Questionmark would like to collaborate more closely with Articulate. Maybe I could start by providing some information and distinctions.
The QML file describes to Questionmark how to launch and process data returned by Captivate (and other 3rd party tools). This was originally developed in conjunction with eHelp which has been maintained by Macromedia and Adobe. We, at Questionmark, would enjoy the opportunity to work with Articulate to provide the same functionality within Storyline.
Questionmark provides an Assessment Management System (but not a Learning Management System) and Questionmark technology is often integrated with LMSs.
Questionmark provides technologies and services that enable organizations to measure knowledge, skills, and attitudes securely and achieve successful learning outcomes. Questionmark solutions enable reliable, valid and defensible assessments by empowering people through collaborative authoring, accommodating participant needs with blended and multilingual delivery and informing stakeholders through timely reporting and meaningful analytics.
Assessment Management Systems enable instructors and administrators to create, administer and report on surveys, quizzes, tests and exams. Questionmark Perception is an onpremise software product for installation behind the firewall. Questionmark OnDemand is provides as Software As A Service.
If someone could help us understand who to talk to within Articulate we would be happy to start those discussions and allocate engineering resources.
With my best regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Thanks for reaching out! Please email Don Freda (dfreda@articulate.com) with your partnership proposal. I'll notify him to expect your email.
Thanks!
Thank you Peter. I reached out to Peter yesterday and we are now working through details of how best to proceed.
With my appreciative regards,
Eric
Has anything come of this? Just wondering if we can expect this functionality to come in a future update of Storyline? Thanks.
Hi Lisa! This is actually the only thread that I see pertaining to this subject, so I have no more information than you do at this time.
Hi Lisa,
I haven't heard of any developments surrounding Questionmark, but I'd suggest that if it's something you'll need to continue developing courses in Storyline that you share that with our Development team by submitting a Feature request.
Hello Asheley/Leslie,
Do we have any details on that ? is that functionality implemented ?
I am looking to import .qml file into storyline and make it as a new quiz in SCORM
Regards.
Hi Neeraj,
I don't have any updates on this partnership and am not certain where it stands in terms of Eric having reached out, so at this time you may also want to chime in with the feature request and also looking at the elements within Storyline that allow you to create a quiz.
Hello Neeraj: I wanted to provide you an update from Questionmark's side. We have always been keen to integrate with Articulate and in 2012, when I responded in this thread, I reached out by email and with calls to help us formulate design patterns that could make sense. I felt that I was sent in circles and was eventually told that Articulate was not interested in working with Questionmark. I suspect that must be some baggage that I don't understand. I am open to having a conversation with any of the decision makers at Articulate to see iof we can work more effectively together.
Hello Neeraj: As CEO of Questionmark I'd be happy to be a point of contact to help promote understanding between our organizations. If you could connect me with the right person it would be sincerely appreciated.
With appreciation,
Eric
Any updates getting Storyline and Questionmark working together?
My company is currently using Storyline to create content, but we need to be able to communicate with Questionmark. If we can't we may have to switch to another content solution.
Hi Karl,
Thanks for asking! We currently don't support an integration with Questionmark. If having this ability is something that would improve your experience using Articulate, you can submit a feature request here.
