Test scoring

Good morning, all!

I have a confusing question that I'm not totally sure how to ask (partially because I'm not sure where the breakdown is). I've been using Storyline for a couple of months now and have built 9 or 10 projects so far. I'm a novice for sure. We are building the projects for training purposes so the last scene in every project is a test scene. I made these tests by recording my screen and turning them into test slides by selection. I've set the number of attempts I want for each slide, changed the wording on the error layers, set point values for every slide, and set the results slide to grade only the slides that I need it to grade (maybe only 3 slides out of 60-120 slides per test that I don't want graded). Unfortunately, as people have started testing them out, the grading doesn't function properly, at all. It's all over the place. Sometimes you can pass the test with a 100% no matter how many questions you miss. Sometimes you get a low 90% grade even though you didn't miss anything. I've gone back and looked at every slide on every test (somewhere around 750 slides total) and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience? There are two of us working on this project at my job and neither of us can figure it out to save our lives.

Hi Clay

that's a loaded question ;-)

  1. Are the questions in a Question Bank? If so have you checked the QB settings. If it is random drawing this could account for some users getting skewed results if there are errors only on specific slides
  2. If using a QB are the slides also in the project in their own scene - I have seen this scenario where SL sometimes defaults and checks any quiz slides to be automatically included in the results slide - after saving and closing - check on reopening that it hasn't added back in the questions you don't want graded.
  3. I know it's painful but I would recheck all the quiz slide settings
    • make sure that there is a correct response selected
    • correct points awarded
    • result slide has the right questions checked

I would upload it to Scormcloud (industry standard LMS) and run some testing myself - send the link to a few of your colleagues and get them to test it and record what happens.
