Testing

Aug 30, 2022

Is there a way to create a test, once completed the learner is not able to access the test.  Our LMS allows learners to have access to their courses once complete.  I'd like to be able to create a test but once completed, the learner does not have access to it.   Either for SL360  or Rise360.

Hi Chris, 

Thanks for reaching out! 

Access to a course that's hosted on an LMS is entirely controlled by the LMS. You can check with your LMS support team to see if they have a feature that will lock a course once it is marked as completed. 

In Storyline 360, you can restrict access to a test in your course by creating a True/False variable that you can set to True once a learner reaches the end of your course. By referencing this variable, you can then control what happens when a learner attempts to go back to your test (Ex. redirecting them to a different section in your course). 

If you can share your LMS details here, I’m sure one of our talented community members who has used that LMS before might have some suggestions for you.

Yes, iyou can create a test in Articulate SL360 or Rise 360 that learners cannot access once completed.

A variable may be used in Storyline 360 to keep track of when the test has been passed. As an illustration, you may make the True/False variable "TestCompleted" and initialise it to False. Then, after the learner completes the testing, add a trigger to the last slide of the testing that sets the variable's value to True. Add a trigger that checks the value of the variable "TestCompleted" and restricts access to the slide(s) if the value is True on the slide(s) to which access is to be restricted. In Rise 360, you can employ a similar strategy by employing a quiz and arranging the quiz to prevent learners from accessing the information once they fail it.

I hope this helps!
