Tracking failed quizzes?

Aug 11, 2020

I have an assessment built that is pulling questions from multiple test banks. Due to the requirements of our training, any failed attempt needs to be recorded (with a score and the questions failed) and if a second attempt is taken, 20% of the questions need to be different. I feel like I have the 20% difference under control by the number of questions I have placed in the banks, but is there a way to track the grade of the first failed attempt and the questions attempted? I have a trigger on my Retry button to reset the results of the quiz and then jump to the first question, as well as add +1 to a variable for quiz attempts, but I can't figure out if I will be able to see the results of the failed quiz.

 

Thanks!

Hi Logan, in terms of tracking a score for a first failed attempt, the same score field is used for subsequent attempts at the assessment, if talking SCORM. Therefore, you will not have on record, several scores from several attempts.

What you can track though are the cmi.interactions. These are the attempts at the questions, and the users attempt is recorded each time they respond to a question as well as an indication as to whether the response was correct or incorrect, time spent etc. If the LMS is capable of reporting on cmi.interations, aka SCORM interactions, you should be able to report on the individual users responses to questions, and may even be able to filter the questions that were answered incorrectly.

I believe, If you wanted to track several scores, you would have to investigate whether the LMS could report on cmi.objectives, if so, you would then need an experienced developer to build this component into your Storyline module using JavaScript. It's all possible, but not through the Storyline interface in this instance.

Hey Sam, thanks for the quick reply. I will reach out to my ELM team and see about the reporting available. I had another thought last night though. Since I am pulling from banks, would there be anything stopping me from just copying the bank slides to a new scene and directing the retry button there? I currently have the retry button on a layer that only appears if they fail the test, so I don't think there is potential for anyone who passes the first test to accidentally navigate to the re-take. If on the first attempt at the test, they pass, and I have an exit course button, would that work as well or would the reporting be weird because there would be an assessment that wasn't filled out? I think I will ask my ELM folks this as well.
