Confused - New to E-learning, Articulate, and LMS
These articles describe what quiz data is sent to the LMS:
- Rise 360: Quiz Data Sent to an LMS - Articulate Support
- Storyline Sends This Quiz and Survey Data to an LMS - Articulate Support
How that data is retrieved depends on the LMS.
Typically, an LMS automatically marks a course as successfully completed when the user has met the designated criteria. My guess is that "LMS Finish" refers to someone successfully completing the course.
- In Rise, a course can be tracked using one of these methods: course completion (that is, view a designated percentage of the course); quiz result; or storyline block with a completion trigger.
- Here is the User Guide article about publishing Rise for an LMS/LRS: Share Rise 360 Content - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
- In Storyline, a course can be also tracked via viewing a designed percentage of the course, passing a quiz, or running a completion trigger. However, multiple options can be used. The course will be marked "complete" using whichever criterion is met first.

The publishing standard has an impact. Perhaps most important: SCORM 1.2 has a very low limit for suspend data. That's the data the Articulate software stores in the LMS to allow users to exit a course and resume where they left off. If the course data exceeds the limit, a user might resume earlier in the course, which means they would have to repeat content. So definitely publish with SCORM 2004, edition 3 or 4. That standard has a much higher limit.
Knowledge Check blocks in Rise are not tracked. The only way to track questions in Rise is to add a Quiz. Only one Quiz can be used to track completion.
Interactions and questions in Storyline blocks in Rise are not tracked, either. But Rise can track completion via a Storyline block if that block has a "Complete course" trigger.
