A few questions about submitting Essay results to the LMS without changing the course status to "completed"
ОК! After a sleepless night and a lot of trial and error with Scorm Cloud, I seem to have formulated a solution!
First and foremost - if you add a condition (if) to the «submit result» trigger, which will be impossible, then the data of the question (the text of the essay written by the student, a short answer or test results) will be submitted to the LMS, (аnd we will be able to see them in the report), but the LMS will not assign the course "completed"!
- the pre-check quiz type works according to this principle.
It means that:
1) If we want to see an essay written by a student in the LMS report, we need to create a Result slide, attach the Essay slide to it and enable tracking in the LMS Tracking option
2) If we do NOT want the Essay Result tracking to lead to the "complete" state of the course, we need to select Quize Type Pre-Check. (since the preset conditions for «Submit result»: If Results.ScorePoint> or = Results.PassPoint are not met, because Results.ScorePoint for essays = 0)
3) Sometimes it is necessary to see how a student answers a graded question, for example, in the middle of the course, (not only failed (incorrect), but also passed (correct)), but at the same time we want the course to end on some other question (for example, at the end of the course )
4) However, this method will not work if we have a Graded Question and scores are awarded for the quiz. (In that case, if the answer is correct, « If Results.ScorePoint » will be> or = Results.PassPoint. Conditions will be met and the LMS will take this as a command to compete the course).
5) How to solve this problem? We can replace the «If condition» with another one, which is obviously impossible. For example, place a button outside the slide, and set the condition «if button state selected».
6) That’s all: the student passes the test, we see in the report how he passed it (correctly or incorrectly), but the LMS does not mark the course as completed and we can use another test to complete it!
7) What should be done if we do not want the student to see the Result slide? We must create it and hide it by removing all triggers that lead to it.
8) Then, on the next slide after the Essay slide (or the other quiz or survey that we need), we set the "submit result" trigger, bind the trigger to the hidden Result slide, and be sure to put down an impossible «if» condition to «Submit result When the timeline starts This Slide»(see point 5).
Another problem: If we use a combined Result slide, then we do not see details of child quizzes and surveys in the LMS report.
I found the following solution:
- create a duplicate for each slide of the Result we are interested in,
- DO NOT include these Result slides in the combined Result slide,
- INCLUDE these Result slides in the tracking,
- hide these Result slides (and remove all triggers so that the student does not get on it),
- set the trigger next to the slide after the quiz or review. point 8)
If I am correct, I hope my solution will help other people.
Maybe you should do a fourth Type of Quiz for the Result slide? (or button, or trigger) Which would submit the question data to the LMS and automatically added to the LMS tracking options, but would not lead to a change in the course status to "completed"
