xAPI Storyline 360

Jul 15, 2019

Hi,

I'm trying to track content from Storyline 360, initially to Scorm Cloud for testing. 

https://articulate.com/support/article/Implementing-Tin-Can-API-to-Support-Articulate-Content

Test file story attached.

1) In publish/tincan/reporting when you leave it as "story.html" Scorm Cloud will track most of the pages. However, it does not track the questions/responses, showing only the page open and the results page (Capture.PNG).  Why are the questions/responses not tracked?

2) I don't want to host in Scorm Cloud - hence I need to be able to send the results to a proper LRS. No matter how I try and format the story.html launch page, I get a 404 page not found error.

Base unencoded version for clarity

story.html?endpoint=https://cloud.scorm.com/lrs/xxxxxx/&auth=Basic xxxxxx&actor{"name": ["TEST"], "mbox": ["mailto:test@test.co.uk"]}

I have successfully used the ADL xapiwrapper.min.js to send statements from Storyline so I know the values for endpoint/auth are correct. I need to be able to track questions and responses and would rather not have to write the full statements for each question myself, seeing as that should be built-in functionality.

How do I format the xAPI launch page in Storyline?

3) I've tried to use debug mode https://articulate.com/support/article/how-to-enable-lms-debug-mode

Why on earth does this only work with Flash output?

Thanks

Hi there, Karl! Thanks for sharing your .story file. 

  1. Were you tracking by number of slides viewed or by quiz results? 

    Tracking by the quiz results sends this quiz data to your LMS (here's a shot from SCORM Cloud):
  2. Once you are tracking by quiz results, you'll get the question and result data. We can't help with modifying the published output files, however. Rustici can provide support beyond what we can for these specifications!
  3. I hear you on this point, Karl. Currently, debug mode for xAPI content only works in the Flash output. We are developing a strategy to handle the end of Flash Player support, and that includes this question. We'll keep you posted on this.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  Turning on track by quiz results has worked.

I'm also using the info from https://community.articulate.com/discussions/building-better-courses/guide-send-an-xapi-statement-from-storyline-360 which uses a JavasScript library to send other xAPI statement for example showing a layer, listening to audio, watching a video.

Bump on Andrew's question. I'm still baby-stepping into XAPI and am struggling to understand the logic of the language. I do see that my LMS is capturing activity from the XAPI packet with the correct user's name. I'm trying to figure out how to write statements that will report a quiz result along with other statements.
