Tracking and Reporting All Slides on Storyline

Dec 09, 2015

Hi Community, 

Am struggling to get my head around reporting and tracking of slides and hopefully someone can help out. Here's what I'm trying to do...

I've been working on a non-linear course with a fair number of slides. The client has asked us to track and report on all individual slides the user has visited/not visited (not just 14/50 slides viewed, etc) Also if possible, to show how long the users has been on each slide - in addition to the complete time they have spent on the course. 

Have been looking at previous threads using variables and quiz/result slides (we don't have any quizzes in our course but could add dummy slides if this would work) but not having any joy. Would be great if you could share any best practice on this. 

I have attached a very simple storyline file which shows examples of quiz and variables (visited state). Would need to report on all slides visited to the LMS. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Many thanks for your help.

Matt

Hey Matt. Before you go down this rabbit hole I would highly recommend that you look into whether you client's LMS can even handle the data they are requesting you track. Most LMSs I'm familiar with don't have this capability (which is a huge issue within the elearning community). The LMS would have to have a data field for "pages viewed" (if included, it usually is a X of X pages type of data like you mentioned you didn't want).  And most LMSs that have time stamps track time spent on the activity while it's open, not down to the page level.

Maybe some others have experiences they can chime in with but I would ask the client about the LMS before spending a lot of time trying to track something the LMS can't handle.
