How to get survey result for web course?
We have a Storyline 360 course published to a web server. Is it possible to use course surveys even if we haven't published on an LMS? If so, where are the results of the course surveys saved and how can we access them? Or would it be possible to get the results emailed to a specific email address using Java Script?
The results are designed to be sent to an LMS, on a web server they are no sent anywhere.
You could generate an email but the client would need a mail client installed or it correctly pointing to their webmail and would have to initiate the email being sent. You could use xAPI if you have an LRS.
You could use javascript and Microsoft Power Automate to write variables to an online Excel file. I used this guide to do it: https://youtu.be/nPpjfW-Zo10?si=ire4JiIkoxArVPRv or if you'd prefer you can write to a googlesheet using the Google API and some javascript.
Hi - Excellent suggestions from Phil and Dave - it's certainly much easier if you are using an xAPI LMS/LRS to store data generated by the learner, such as survey results...
... But where there is no LMS, we've used a couple of approaches with clients (a) use JavaScript to put the survey results in a downloadable pdf file which the learner can save (we have also used an email intermediary service to email this pdf to the learner and the tutor) (b) for the course feedback form on our own site we wrote a small node.js app that stores the feedback in an SQL database on our site and used JavaScript to send the data to this app (this isn't as difficult as it sounds - but it does require some programming skills).
for (a) there's a couple of demos (one in Storyline and one in RISE) on our website https://profilelearning.com/demonstrations/
