Hi! I'm experimenting with a trial version of SL2. I am enjoying the UI ease of use. Is it possible to track quiz results to a database from a SL2 project published for the web? Perhaps using javascript? I currently do not have access to an LMS. Thanks in advance for any information!
Tracking results in a text file or database isn't supported. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist you with this question.
We have been sending SL quiz results to a database for several years now. It a bit technical, but once we set it up, it has proven to be very reliable. We use javascript to send the results to a php file that then sends the data to a MySQL database table.
I use a DB program called Navicat to view and manage the quiz results data in the database. I can export to EXCEL or to a statistical program for detailed analysis.
However, this approach only records the main results ... name and score. We also capture date/time and IP address. This won't work if you want detailed results by each question.
Thank you Russ! This may sound like a silly question. When you mention . . ."this approach only records the main results . . .name and score." what name are you referring to? Course?
We capture both ... person's name and name of quiz. We give the option at the beginning of the quiz to enter their "real name" if they want it on the Quiz Results page.
We also figured out how to create and print out a Certificate if the person passes the quiz. Their real name is also used for this.

Hi Leslie! Thank you for responding. Glad to be here!
I'll broaden my question. Is anyone aware of a method to track quiz results from a SL2 project published for the web? Thanks!

Let me know if you want more details.
