E-Learning module without quiz will not set passing score to passed.
Hi everyone,
I built a module in Storyline that is meant to be used as a performance support tool. The user can see 4 scenario's where he/she can choose which scenario is of interest and read the information on this scenario. Once the user clicks on one of the 4 secnario's the trigger "complete course" /completed-passed is activated.
The problem now is the the LMS will not set the passing score to "passed", therefore the user will see this module as "failed" in his/her overview.
This is unwanted, but the module does not have questions in it, nore do we want to put questions in there.
Is this something that can be adjusted with more triggers (I don't think so, since there is a trigger complete course active) or is there a workaround for this?
The LMS is Talentsoft and they keep on saying that this has nothing to do with the LMS, but the SCORM package is the problem.
I recommend testing your course in SCORM Cloud. I'm sure that the completion status will be set to 'Completed' and the success status to 'Passed' as expected, given the 'Complete Course' trigger. What I don't understand is what Talentsoft LMS requires to mark the success status as 'Passed.' Does it need a score? Even though you don’t have a quiz or another built-in way to send a score, it could be set and sent manually using JavaScript. Could you upload a screenshot of your publishing settings (Reporting and Tracking) for further analysis? Alternatively, if possible, you could provide a simplified version of your course without any proprietary data so it can be tested in SCORM Cloud.
Hi everyone, I just tested the module in a SCORM cloud and got the result: course completed and course passed.
It is up to the client to solve the problem...everything works fine on my side of the fence 😁.
👍
To (try to) keep the client happy, you could publish the course 4 times, each time using a different LMS Reporting option.
- I suggest you add PI, PF, CI, or CF to the SCORM package name so you know which is which.
It's possible that a different reporting option will work.

If you have the Tracking Options set to "Using triggers (e.g., 'complete course')," the first complete-course trigger to run should indicate successful completion.
As the staff would likely say, test the course in the SCORM Cloud ( How to Troubleshoot Your LMS with SCORM Cloud | Articulate - Community ). If it works there, then the issue is related to the LMS. For example, it might have something to do with the chosen LMS Reporting option. Verify that you're publishing with a reporting option that works with that LMS.
And here's a workaround: put a one-question quiz in the course, and track with that.
- That could be as simple as adding an acknowledgement statement that's really a multiple-choice question with just one response: "Yes."
- Another option: disguise a multiple-choice question. Cover the responses, and remove them from the focus order. Add a trigger that changes the "correct" answer to Selected when the timeline starts. Turn off immediate feedback. In Slide Properties, turn off the Submit button, and turn on the PREV and NEXT buttons. Put the Submit trigger on the NEXT button. (Make sure that comes before the trigger that jumps to the next slide.)
- You'd also need to add a Results slide, so the score will be submitted to the LMS. But you can delete all of the typical results info, and just show a summary statement.
I'm assuming each scenario is located in a branch of the main course. Upon successful completion of a scenario set the learner to go to a reflect/feedback slide that asks them a yes/no question which links to the overall objective (exit objective) of the tool (or set a yes/no question at the end of each scenario eg did you find this solved your issue?). Otherwise, divide the tool into four separate courses and report that way.
