We are currently running moodle with articulate storyline projects built into our courses. We have basic moodle quizzes to assure our partners are learning the material but I wanted to move more toward interactive activities to keep them engaged.
Has anyone does this or have any ideas, I saw some of the free templates would be pretty cool. I.e. Hangman or a matching game is basically a fun way of quizzing them. However I am not sure if we could report anything to the moodle. Has anyone used the Tin Can Api with Articulate and Moodle?
I don't think Moodle has an xAPI module yet. You might be able to use SCORM Cloud to track that piece.
However, I don't think you need xAPI to track activity completion or results. You might be able to use questions in the background of an interaction and use the interaction reporting to capture how someone responded to a particular challenge.
For example, if you had an activity that needed to be completed that is either completed correctly or not you could use a true / false question behind the interaction.
Completed the activity Tune the Radio:
True | False
Make the correct answer true. Create an overlay to hide the true / false question. Then build your activity on top of this. At the end of the activity (using states or states and layers) toggle the selection to true and submit or just submit if they didn't do it correctly. This way you can track the aggregate of how they did in one measure.
Alternatively, you could do the same thing but track which steps were done correctly using a multiple select question:
Completed the activity Tune the Radio:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Make all of the steps selected as the correct answer. Overlay just as in the previous example with a curtain to hide the question and selections. This time, for each step of the activity, change the object to selected for the step if they performed the step correctly. At the end of the activity, submit for grade.
In each case, Moodle will track the interaction by scene and slide. You will be able to tell if the activity was completed correctly and which steps were satisfactory for each user's attempt.

Thank you Steve,
That is very interesting, I have never thought about anything like that before.
I will have to do more research and see exactly what I can get to work.
