Any survey tool integration with Rise?

Hi Marty

We use a different approach by building Storyline blocks in our RISE courses that use Sliders to create a Likert Scale survey. The survey answers are stored in Storyline variables...

The challenge is that RISE does not have variables and Storyline variables are reset and lost once you exit from a Storyline block. This means that we have to 'store' the variables somewhere and retrieve them when we need to use them (typically by outputting the results to a pdf file at the end of the course). There are different strategies that can be used for storing the values:

(a) you can use JavaScript to store them in local browser memory (where cookies are stored). This means that you can interrupt the course, restart it and pick up the variables PROVIDING you use the same device, the same browser and the learner hasn't cleared the browser cache.

(b) if you are using SCORM 2004 and a compliant LMS, it is possible (but not trivial) to use JavaScript to store the variables in the SCORM 2004 data structure. There are fields that are defined as part of the standard that can be used.

(c) If you are using an xAPI compliant LMS and an LRS, then you can use JavaScript to write and retrieve the survey scores to defined fields in the LRS

(d) you can write the variables to an external file on another server (CORS security prevents you from writing JavaScript code that writes to a local file). So, although we have never done this ourselves, you could use Goodle Docs or similar and write the survey scores there.

There's a demonstration of the Storyline survey bit on our website:

But I haven't got round to loading an example of how this would work in RISE. I might do that this week.
