Submit Interactions one at a time

Apr 05, 2016

Hello,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a course that has to go live in less than a week, and we've encountered a major stumbling block that I'm hoping the community can provide an assist.

The Setup

The course contains over 200 questions, and we need the SCORM interactions to post to our LMS for reporting. The questions are grouped loosely into scene based "question banks" with a roll-up to a Results slide at the end of the course.

When a user takes the course they can answer as few as 10 questions or as many questions that are in the course. The course is not graded, so the final "score" is meaningless.

Unfortunately, the developer used graded questions instead of survey questions, and I suspect we don't have time to re-build it.

The Problem

Unfortunately, given the volume of interactions and Storyline 1's overly verbose Question IDs, the interactions are not posting correctly. Based on the debug logs and testing I've performed, it appears that all the interactions are attempting to post when the Results slide is reached and they are not being submitted when the user submits the question.

The Goal

I'd like to force Storyline 1 to behave like Quizmaker '09 where the interaction details are sent to the LMS as soon as the user has submitted the question. I do not want what appears to be the default "submit all" behavior that the Result slide is currently doing.

Current Troubleshooting Attempts

I have attempted to reduce the number of slides that roll-up to the Results slide for completion purposes, but only the questions included in the roll-up post their interaction details and I need all the interactions that the user responded to post as I can account for the non-answered questions in our reporting.

I've also tried using SCORM 1.2 Complete/Incomplete, SCORM 2004 2nd edition C/I and Pass/Incomplete, SCORM 2004 3rd edition C/I and P/I to no avail.  SCORM CLOUD was not helpful as it "hung up" when the interactions started to post.

Conclusion

I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has that would allow me to get the course to post the interaction details after each user's response. While the course was built in Storyline 1, if this request can be resolved in Storyline 2, please let me know.

Thank you

Hi Stephen,

The questions will all be submitted in terms of evaluation and feedback on the individual slides at the time the user clicks the submit button by default.  If you're looking to post the individual responses after each slide, I know a number of users have mentioned a custom method using Javascript which you can read about here in this older thread. 

As far as how SCORM Cloud "hung up" when the interactions were going through, do you mean it froze the course/browser? Were you reviewing the LMS debug log as detailed here to see the interactions going through?  If SCORM Cloud as a whole isn't working correctly for you, you could also reach out to Rustici Software for help to see if they had additional suggestions.
