Really need help with this. I'm not very good at variables and can't seem to get my head around it. I've finished my storyline file but need to put in correct and incorrect variables so the pass or fail slide layer appears at the end of question 8.
Can somebody help me with it and possibly explain what I need to do? As much as I want someone to do it for me. I need to know how to do it myself for future reference :)
I can get the Pass layer to appear when I get all the questions correct, but the Fail layer doesn't. It keeps looping back through all the questions. How many attempts should users get?
Sorry I should of been more specific on when fail and pass should come up. I want it to be a 80% pass rate but only one attempt. I don't know how I can do that. If you could explain it to me that would be great, many thanks in advance.
Oh I see I misunderstood what you meant by attempts. Yes it's unlimited attempts if the user keeps failing they can try again and again until they pass. Is that possible?
Also thanks for explaining how the variables work, it's starting to make more sense to me.
Only renaming the file, I tried uploading it to SCORM cloud but it still comes up with the looping. I can't seem to make it work. Only works in preview mode in SL2.
For our VLE (Moodle) that we use at the college, students need to be able to access the file. SCORMING the file is the easiest way for students to access it and seeing who has accessed it in the reports.
I'm afraid the looping it still happening on the first question. It's really mind boggling why it's doing it. It only happens when I try to publish it. Even when it isn't SCORM'd I've tried web publishing and still doing the same thing.
The flash version works fine for me Internet Explorer and Chrome. However IE is not a supported browser for SL2 HTML5 output
Here are the technical specs for SL2 to view flash and HTML5 output. Not sure what output you are using in Moodle. But as i said above, you don't have a result slide that is sending any information to the LMS so not sure how you are reporting.
Ah okay good to know. I usually use Chrome so was trying out different browsers in case it acted any different. If a results slide is inserted in the course will it stop looping?
I'm looking at the file settings and it baffles me why it loops on the first question when it publishes.
What are you trying to capture in the LMS just the number of slides viewed or an actual result?
If you just want slides viewed you don't need a result slide but if you are trying to capture results yes you would.
i have republished to LMS using number of slides viewed with Completed/incomplete tracking and uploaded to Scormcloud - it is working as expected. You can test in scormcloud here
I've tried out the link you sent me, however it's still looping. I've signed up for a free trial of 360 to output it in a newer version of storyline, however it's doing the same looping.
Is there something in the triggers or slide layers that's making it want to loop?
here is a Peek video of it working in Scormcloud. I can't say why it's looping you may need to log a support case with Articulate.
As for capturing a result - you don't have any quiz slides in the file that can be assigned to a result slide. You would need to convert your 8 question layers to quiz slides - recommend Pick One freeform - these 8 slides would then be selected in the result slide and would report a score to the LMS.
You can only report either a result or number of slides viewed - not both.
SL2 previews in flash and SL360 previews HTML5 - I've already established that it's not working in the HTML5 output that's why your seeing same behaviour.
What you are seeing in Scormcloud is the flash output.

Hi Rebeca

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for having a look at my storyline file.
Sorry I should of been more specific on when fail and pass should come up. I want it to be a 80% pass rate but only one attempt. I don't know how I can do that. If you could explain it to me that would be great, many thanks in advance.
Hi Rebeca
so 80% pass would be 6.4 questions answered correctly? So really 7 answered correctly.
Hi Rebeca
see attached update to your file.
I have created a number variable called questionsCorrect.
On each correct button of each question I have a trigger to add +1 to the variable.
On the final layers of Question 8 I have triggers to show pass layer if variable >=7 and show fail layer if variable < 7.
You have a retry button on the fail layer which to me means more than one attempt even though in your post above you say 'one attempt'?
Hi Wendy,
Yes you are quite right, 7 answered correctly.
Oh I see I misunderstood what you meant by attempts. Yes it's unlimited attempts if the user keeps failing they can try again and again until they pass. Is that possible?
Also thanks for explaining how the variables work, it's starting to make more sense to me.
Hi Wendy,
I have a new issue, when I try and SCORM the file, the first question loops infinitely and doesn't go to the new slide? Do you know why?
Thanks
Hi Rebeca
have you made any changes to the file I uploaded above? It wasn't doing the looping thing for me when I tested it
Only renaming the file, I tried uploading it to SCORM cloud but it still comes up with the looping. I can't seem to make it work. Only works in preview mode in SL2.
Ok I'll take another look now
Hi Rebeca
I've added a trigger to the Retry button on the fail layer to reset the 'questionsCorrect' variable back to zero so the user can restart.
When I preview it is working as expected.
You don't have a result slide so why are you publishing to Scorm?

Hi Rebeca
here are links to my webserver - I've published it to web
Flash version works fine
HTML5 version doesn't work - it is looping on the first question slide.
Hi Wendy,
I've tried both and it keeps looping on the flash and HTML5 version for some reason. I've tried internet explorer as still doing the same thing.
Not sure what I can do now :/

I don't know why the html5 output is looping.

Both capture the number of slides and result.

Hi Wendy,
Wow you managed to get it working. How come it's looping for me then? I'll see what articulate says.
I'm going to to try and do a quiz slide for my 8 questions to see if it would solve the looping.
I see, I'd probably do a result slide then.
Thank you for your help. Hopefully get to the bottom as to why it's looping!
Hi Rebeca
SL2 previews in flash and SL360 previews HTML5 - I've already established that it's not working in the HTML5 output that's why your seeing same behaviour.
What you are seeing in Scormcloud is the flash output.
You will need 8 quiz slides one for each layer.
Good luck.
Hi Wendy,
That's a pain, they should preview in HTML5 always. But then again it's an incentive to get 360. Am I able to publish it out to flash from SL2?
I'll give that go in 360, I've put in a support case to articulate so they can have a look.
If they solve it, I'll let you know in the meantime for future reference.
Many thanks
Hi Rebeca
when you publish in SL2 you are publishing to Flash if you select Web or LMS. If you check the HTML5 output checkbox it will publish to HTML5 as well.
In the image below - I have highlighted the Flash file
Ah brill thank you very much
