Survey Question Reporting to LMS
Oct 08, 2013
Hi all, got a couple difficulties regarding survey question reporting to an LMS.
I have constructed a survey with 6 questions:
- 1 Short Answer
- 2 Likert Scales
- 3 Essay
I would like to see the output of all these questions through the LMS after the user has completed the course. I am using eFront for an LMS.
I'm having problems seeing the exact answers to these questions through the LMS. Currently, I can see if the user completes the survey, but not what answers were actually entered and submitted. This really doesn't give me the detailed information that I'm looking for.
I've searched around a bit on the forums/tutorials and it looks like short answer questions should be possible (http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/reporting-storyline-variables-to-an-lms). However, what about the Likert Scale questions?
Also, any tricks on the proper publish settings?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Alex,
I wanted to point you to this thread that is similar in terms of testing out your Survey content and ensuring it will work within your LMS, and testing within SCORM Cloud as well.
In regards to the Likert scale scoring issue, it seems to be a known issue that our team is aware of and I really like the method Jeanette has created to work around that and there is another example that Rebecca created in this thread based on Jeanette's screenr.
Thanks for all the references! I'll chug away for a while on these and my own findings, then see what makes the most sense.
Sounds great Alex! Thanks for the update
Ashley and/or Leslie: We are encountering a similar issue: how to read short answers from Storyline quizzes in our LMS reports. Would love to know 1) does short answer data get reported to the LMS? 2) if not, is there a workaround?
Hi James!
You can check out this document to understand what data is sent to an LMS.

This must be an OLD Thread.
However, can I get your inputs, as to why SCORM cloud is not capturing the User Inputs. The sample slides have been designed based on this : http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/reporting-storyline-variables-to-an-lms
Thank you,

Hi Lal,
It's hard to tell from that image alone in SCORM Cloud - but it does look to be capturing that there is a short answer question - but without knowing what the user has entered it's hard to say what it's capturing or not? Can you share the .story file with us so that we can take a look?
Hi Ashley,
Attached is the Story File. Not sure if i am missing something. Thank you for your assistance.
Hi Lal,
The user will need to visit the short answer slide to pass the variable there as the trigger is set up to adjust it based on when the timeline starts.You can then also include a jump to slide trigger after the submission trigger so that the slide automatically goes to the results slide. Set all of these to occur based on the tiemline of that slide starting, and you'll want to make sure the order of the triggers from top down is: Set the Text Entry value, submit the question, and jump to slide
You'll also want to ensure that you're setting the value of the text entry on the short answer to match what the user typed on slide 1. Currently you're setting it to have Text Entry 1 be set to the value of TextEntry 2 which would be blank/null.
Also, this is likely just a demo course you've shared - but the question you've entered on Slide 1, could easily be set up on the short answer question and therefore, no need for this roundabout.
I made the adjustments to your file and have reattached it here.
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for inputs. It sure worked and I was able to fix the course.
However, I switched from a Short_Answer Interaction to Essay Interaction, then a new issue.
Results, Interactions work fine, except for the result showing as "Incomplete", though all quiz slides have been completed.
Any ideas??
If you need the Story File - could you provide a private link for the same.
Thank you.
Hi Lal! You can share your file privately here.
Hi Leslie,
i guess that is a broken link.
Seems that it was Lal! Sorry about that. Check it out now :)
Great, Thanks. Leslie.
File uploaded.
Thanks Lal! I have received the file and will be taking a look and will respond to your case.

I see where you are tracking the course as Completed/Incomplete. Are the users passing the course and getting an incomplete or are they failing and getting an incomplete as the latter would be expected behavior.
If you're experiencing issues with content in a learning management system (LMS), see the following article, which outlines common LMS viewing and tracking issues:

Thank you Leslie/Ashley, for the quick turnaround.
Thanks for popping in to share Lal! I have responded to your case again as well.
Hi ,
I am trying to report variables to the LMS.
It works fine, however, I am not able to get the "Question Heading "
The original post says - the question can be anything as the user will not see the question.
I dont need the user to see the question, however, would like to use the questions/or slide description for the Short-answer/Essay Answer Survey Slide, to track the response question in the LMS
Attached is the story file.
In the SCROM Cloud too, i get no description, for the questions, however the variables are reporting perfectly, well.
Attached is the LMS report : I would like to get the description of the question. However, my report is coming out blank. Though this has worked in the past for me.
Any suggestions.
Thank you,
Lal
Hi Lal!
Looks like you are publishing for Scorm 1.2 and this does not send the Question Text.
To send question text to your LMS, publish for SCORM 2004 or Tin Can API (also called Experience API).
Hi Lal,
Did you look at changing the publishing method from Scorm 1.2 to 2004? The latter does a better job reporting question text and details.
