WHEN will Storyline be able to save a CUSTOM quiz score to an LMS?

Hi Tim,

I have to agree with you. I've developed a work around that works fine, but there really should be a way as content developers that we can have better control of this from the software so we can set up courses to meet our needs. In addition to your example, we often have to create multi-language courses with multi-language quizzes. It would be nice to be able to select the results from the selected quiz, and ignore the unused quiz based on a language selection when the course is started. We need to do this so course participation can be tracked for all users within an organization. There isn't a good way to do this in many LMS systems, so we need to provide this from the course. It is also an issue of not needed to maintain multiple course files. 

To my thinking, it doesn't really matter how difficult this is to do. We pay a lot of money for this software to meet our goals. I don't think it is too much to expect for you to provide the options that we need.

I think this should be available within Storyline, but it is very simple to achieve  sending your own score using javascript, I have not found an LMS yet that will not accept the score delivered this way.

Thanks Phil. Are there JS code examples to view?

Hi Tim,

Here is an example of some code that I use:

var p = GetPlayer();
var cs = p.GetVar("CurrentScore");
var ns = 10; // Number of Question Slides
var currentScorePercent = Math.round(cs / ns * 10);
p.SetVar("CurrentScorePercent", currentScorePercent );
lmsAPI.SCORM_SetScore(currentScorePercent,100,0);

CurrentScore, CurrentScorePercent and PassScorePercent are variables that I create in the project.

Thank you Dave, I appreciate this.

No problem. 

I use that on or after the results slide. If you use is before, the value will be overwritten.

I've also found that you can't use the exit function, or it will again be overwritten, so I just tell the participants that they can close their browsers.

Sorry Tim Dave beat me to it, i am not on my development machine at the moment so don't have access to my code snippets, there is one line I normally add to the master to ensure storyline does not overwrite the score, you can achieve this without javascript  by tracking by slides and have a slide the user cannot access.

You may also want to set status

For completed: SetStatus("completed");

Hi Phil,

I haven't been setting setStatus because the way I implement my code, Storyline sets it for me.

I would be interested to know what code you use to prevent storyline from overwritting the score, when you have a chance.

I can get the score to pass through but I can't get the right status to pass through. With a game, I want the user to "fail" if they get less than 80% but it always shows them as "PASSED" or "COMPLETE" even with a failing score. What am I doing wrong? (I'm new to JS and have cobbled this together from other people's suggestions.)

var player = GetPlayer();

var lmsAPI = parent;

lmsAPI.SetScore(player.GetVar("15898GameScore"), 100, 80);

if (player.GetVar("15898GameScore")>=80)

SetStatus("passed");

else

SetStatus("failed");

Also I ditto the original poster. And am curious as to why we can't read or write the Results variables?

Any development or update on this? 

Hey there, Ashley.  Right now, the community workarounds will be your best bet for custom communication between Storyline and your LMS. 

Here's a little information on how we handle feature requests, too.  Thanks for checking in!
