Compatibility between Open ELMS and Articulate Quiz Results?

Hi David,

Articulate supports the following e-learning industry standards: 

- SCORM 2004 

- SCORM 1.2 

- AICC 

You can learn more about SCORM here:

You can download certification logs here:

Quizmaker: http://www.articulate.com/support/quizmaker09/kb/?p=42 

Engage: http://www.articulate.com/support/engage09/kb/?p=31 

If your LMS also supports one of these standards, then you should have no difficulty using Articulate content with your LMS.

Open Elms is 100% Scorm compliant,  so I know that Articulate Quizzes will be compatible, however I'm asking more on the side of how do you ensure the Articulate Quiz writes to the LMS?

OK, another update:  For some reason, in Open Elms, you do not upload a .zip file, you manually import and then you have to point the LMS to the ismanifest.xml and the quiz.xml file but it seems when you publish an Articulate Quiz this quiz.xml file is missing, or is it called something else perhaps?

I put a quizmaker quiz into a powerpoint presentation, and published it for LMS, with tracking set to track quiz results.

I looked through the whole LMS publish output folder and found four xml files:

Imsmanifest.xml (in top folder)

Playerproperties.xml (in Data folder)

Presentation.xml (in Data folder)

Integration.xml (in Data>swf>quizmaker_257 folder)

I'm assuming that the LMS must be able to reference these files somehow.

Hi David,

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Open Elms upload process.  Can you post some screen shots of the creation process?  Typically, you would only need to point the LMS to the index_lms.html file.

I believe the third line down 'Select Quiz xml file to import' is what is the problem.  I don't know what to put there?

Hi David,

The quiz.xml doesn't appear to be a required field.  Does the content work correctly if you include the manifest file?

Hi Brian, 

You can create the course on Open Elms by including the manifest file, and take the quiz through the LMS, but nothing gets reported back to the LMS.  I am also following up with Open Elms support, but just wondering if you might have any further ideas?

Hi David,

If you'd be willing to send me admin access to your LMS, I'll be more than happy to dig in & see what I can figure out for you.  You can send me a private message by clicking my profile on the left & then selecting "Send a Private Message."

Unfortunately, my client is only using a free trial on his pc which is not set up for outside access, and we've had no joy with Open Elms as they require a paid support plan before they'll do any troubleshooting...

Thank you for your tips and suggestions so far - at this point my client is not considering Open Elms any longer and is looking at other LMS options.

Hi David,

Are they going to only be using published Articulate files?  If so, you might steer them towards Articulate Online:
