Custom Quiz & Pulling Data

The info Storyline sends to an LMS is based on a Results slide, which is associated with a designated set of question slides. If you want an >=80% score for successful completion, that has to come from a Results slide. Aside from passed/failed, exactly what other info you can pull from the LMS depends mostly on the LMS set up. 

In short, you will need to use the quizzing features. 

However, you aren't restricted to using the standard question slides. You can use Freeform questions, too. Here's more info about those:

FYI: You can also customize regular or Freeform question slides. Here are a few posts that might give you some ideas:

As i am doing exactly the same thing now... creating dynamic quizzes that get questions, options and feedback from Google Sheet data.... i also donot use the default quizzes. It is not perse needed to use a result slide to get your score into the LMS.

The Javascript lines below send your score to the LMS ( in our case that's Instructure Canvas )

First you offcourse need to define your score somehow...
//These lines will be used to set score value in SCORM2004
var previousScore = player.GetVar("myScore");
var finalRawScore = player.GetVar("storylineScore");
var passPercent = player.GetVar("zPassingPercentage");
var scoreScale = finalRawScore/100;
console.log("previousScore: " + previousScore+" |finalRawScore: " + finalRawScore);

And when that is done you can sent the score values to the LMS
//Set score value here. These 4 lines are necessary for SCORM2004
 SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.scaled', scoreScale);
 SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.raw', finalRawScore);
 SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.min', '0');
 SCORM2004_objAPI.SetValue('cmi.score.max', '100');

I did test this and in Canvas it nicely sets the grades of the student to the current score.

Thank you, Judy! This was extremely helpful. I am utilizing Freeform questions, but my issue was the built-in feedback layers. I didn't like how they covered everything up. But your post on that answered my question and I'm going to try it out! I will also play around with the results slide to see if I can get that to work as well. 

Thank you! This is helpful to know!

Hi Judy - another follow-up. I looked at your custom "Try Again" post, but it doesn't quite answer the question I have. I would like the learner to have 2 attempts at answering. Each answer has it's own custom feedback (which works just great if they only get one attempt). I'd like it so that the learner could answer a question, if it's incorrect I'd like them to receive feedback as to why that answer is incorrect and to try again. Then if they answer incorrectly a second time, rationale and the correct answer are provided. Is there a way to do that? My first thought was to just change the feedback layer of "Incorrect" to read "Try Again" and when they click "continue" take them to a duplicate slide where they could try again, but I don't want to mess up the reporting or the results slide.

Use the instructions in the first post I linked to above (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-give-different-try-again-feedback-after-the-2nd-attempt ) to change what feedback appears on each choice-specific layer based on the number of attempts.

So after the first attempt, any "wrong" layer would only show that the answer is incorrect and why. After the 2nd attempt, any "wrong" layer would show the same info, plus info about which answer is correct and why. 

Got it! Thanks, Judy! My brain hadn't made it that far down the track, yet. I appreciate your help very much!!
