General quiz structure and reporting question

I am new to e-learning content development and LMS... I have a question about my specific situation. I am developing content for two different purposes. One is for classroom led courses, whose objective is to train a specific group of 20 lessons (technical procedures). At present each lesson has a test associated with it, and at the end of the course there is a general test. In order to be certified in at the end of the course, the attendees must pass all 20 individual tests for the lessons, and the general test afterwards. The test results go to our LMS. My question is, can this be consolidated into the general test? In other words, can I structure my test in Storyline 360 with like 21 different scenes, with the overall results showing the results of the different scenes? I hope my question is clear...

Hi, William,

I'll give you some basic info that might answer your question.

For tracking completion, Storyline can only send the info from 1 Results slide to the LMS. (Alternately, completion could be based on the number of  slides viewed or on execution of a Completion trigger.)

It is possible to have a Results slide that looks at other Results slides in the course. In other words, you could end a course with a Results slide that checks whether the user passed multiple quizzes in the course (based on their Results slides).

  • This can be set up so the user has to pass each quiz individually or the user has to answer a certain percentage of all the questions correctly.

It is also possible to have a Results slide that looks at the questions from multiple scenes. Note that this lumps all the designated questions together.

  • For example, say scene one has 4 questions, scene two has 6 questions, and you have a Results slide in scene 3 that looks at all those question. The means the score would be based on 10 questions. If you set 80% as a passing score, the user could answer only 2 of the scene-one questions  correctly and all of the scene-two questions correctly, and they would still pass.

BTW, as noted previously, completion can be based on the execution of a Completion trigger (instead of a Results slide). That means you could put a Completion trigger on a slide that the user can only access if they've passed all of the quizzes. You'd need to use variables and conditions for that kind of control -- but I always recommend learning about variables and conditions, because they're so useful.

I hope this helps!
