Tracking course completion without quiz questions
Sep 25, 2015
Hi all
Just a question on using this method to record course completion on a specific slide:
I have been using this method, but without any quiz questions at all. On the result slide I can set a passing score of 0%, so the user always passes, when he/she reaches this slide.
This is a very easy way of passing a completion status! Very suitable for our less tech-savvy employees: Just add a quiz result slide with a passing score of 0% - no need to add or refer to any quiz questions!
This seems to work good, but I am getting some feedback from a few people having problems. This can unfortunately also be because of our somewhat buggy LMS, and it very difficult to do proper bug testing.
So I want to make sure this is a valid method by asking the other experts:
Could there be any problems related to passing course completion, if I am not including or referring to any questions?
Looking forward getting your comments :-)
Thanks everyone,
Erik

HI Erik,
A prior LMS I worked with had similar issues in that it wouldn't always pass the mark complete message to the LMS. At that time we were using Articulate 09 and we purchased a widget from eLearning Enhanced that fixed the issue. https://elearningenhanced.com/products/mark-complete-widget
I looked around on the eLearning Enhanced website to see if they had a mark complete widget for Storyline and they do not. However, there is an article about using javascript to send a mark complete message to the LMS. I'm not versed in javascript, but if you are then this article may have a solution:

Hi Melanie.
I know about the Javascript method, but I really need a method that my colleages can use as well. Messing around with Javascript is much to scary for some of them.
But thanks for your feedback!
Hi Erik,
What type of problems are they running into? I've heard of course completion not working as expected such as when using the "exit course" trigger, which has some issues detailed here. Typically closing the browser window is enough to pass the completion.
