lmsAPI Functionality in HTML5 Output

@Bruce: I would suggest opening a new thread for this, since it does deviate pretty far from the original thread.  I don't have any experience with Guestbook or Articulate Online, so the only help I can offer is to dig through the code like I did originally.  I used Google Chrome's Dev Tools while I had an instance of the module running in the environment that was giving me issues, and I basically used the whole "code hints / suggestions" feature in the Console to explore the code until I found the solution I needed.

Hi Bernardo,

Storyline 3 Update 4 would include all the fixes you see in Storyline 360 up to Update 3.15.15581.0. Are you on that update of Storyline 3?

We haven't made changes to how the player was rewritten yet to account for these Javascript customizations, but we'll let folks know if we do or build in those specific items folks were using. 

Wonderfulll. Thanks for this issue. A lot of time  trying to solve this problem and this script is the only one  that has been working publishing exclusively in html5..

Thank's very much.

Thank's very much for this apport. A lot of time spending to solve this issue till I find your code. It's fantastic. It works perfectly.

Thank's again.

Adam Trosper, you sir are a genius! I actually whooped when your suggestions worked, as I've been trying this for months without success and just happened across your post today!

Thanks Damien!  That's nice to hear on a Thursday morning!  I glad my suggestions helped!

Hi there.

Firstly, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone that's contributed to this thread, as it's helped me with a project I'm working on.

I'm a bit stuck with one thing though. I'm trying to report the following details to an LMS for a confidence based multiple choice assessment:

• The answers that the user selected.
• The user's final 'knowledge' score (based on how they answered the question).
• The user's final 'confidence' score (based on how confident they were about their answer).
• The user's final 'combined' score as a percentage (based on both their knowledge and confidence).
• Whether they passed or failed (based on the final 'combined' score).

I've got the answers for each question being reported by using Storyline's built-in multiple choice quiz slides. I've also got the 'knowledge' and 'confidence' scores being reported by using hidden 'How many' survey slides. The final percentage score is being reported using bits of different Javascript code that I've found in this thread. The bit I'm stuck on is the 'Passed/failed' reporting.

I think it's currently taking the passed/failed status from the built-in Results.ScorePoints variable, which is the same as the 'Knowledge' score, as it's just based on whether the answers were right or wrong. This isn't taking the confidence score into account.

I've tried using the Javascript code recommended in this thread, but it doesn't seem to be overwriting it. I need to have the tracking based on the quiz result slide, as otherwise the answers aren't passed to the LMS. Is there any way to make the Javascript code overwrite the passed/failed status?

Here's the code I'm using. I'm a complete novice when it comes to coding, so it's possible the mistake being made is in here somewhere:

var p = GetPlayer();

var passingScore = "14";

function findLMSAPI(win) {
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
else if (win.parent == win) return null;
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}

var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);

var cs = p.GetVar("finalscore");

var currentScorePercent = p.GetVar("finalscore_percent");

var ns = 2;

var currentScorePercent = Math.round(cs / ns * 10);

p.SetVar("finalscore_percent", currentScorePercent );

lmsAPI.SetScore(currentScorePercent, 100, 0);

if (player.GetVar("finalscore")>= passingScore)
{
SetStatus("passed");
} else {
SetStatus("failed");
}

The status is set to be reported as 'Passed/Failed' in Storyline, although I've tried pretty much every option and none of them are working correctly.

I want the status to show as failed if the 'combined' score percentage is less than 70%, or if the 'combined' score is less than 14.

I've tried a few different things in the code, but was wondering if someone with more coding knowledge would be able to see something obvious that I'm not seeing. Or if what I'm trying to achieve is just not possible when the tracking is based on the quiz results slide.

Thanks.

Hello Astutis,

May be you can set a trigger in the  results slide or the final slide like the following .

{Complete course

when the time line ends

if combinedscore is greater then or equal to passing score}

Then the track the results by setting the tracking options as Track using complete course trigger

Hi Astutis,

One thing I noticed in your code is that you have quotes around the "14" when you are declaring the passingScore variable.  This is most likely forcing that variable to be used as a String.  So, when you do your '>=' comparison later on, it would be comparing a number to a string (which wouldn't be reliable).  Otherwise, I think your code looked good.

The other thing I would double-check is that these variables that you are pulling in are exactly what you are expecting them to be.  For example, I'm assuming that you have a trigger on your results slide somewhere to set "finalscore" equal to "Results.PassPoints" or something like that, right?

If you try these things, it may or may not work.  If it doesn't work, perhaps you could upload a .story file and I could take a look?

So, I believe the way that it works is that as soon as you call the Submit Results trigger, it is going to set Passed/Failed and send a score to the LMS based on the actual results of your quiz. 

I would put an alert into each portion of your if/else statement to see which one it's calling.  If it's calling the "Failed" one, but you are still getting a "Passed" in the LMS, it's most likely because the Submit Results trigger is overriding your code (or something to that effect).

You *might* be able to swap the order of your triggers so that your JS trigger comes before the Submit Results trigger, but I don't know that it would help or not.  You might not be able to accomplish exactly what you are going for without digging further into the Storyline engine code to understand exactly what's happening.
