Hi, I am creating eLearning courses using Storyline and sending them to the LMS using Scorm 1.2. All went well until the client asked me if it was possible to get the actual user score for the Quiz into the LMS. I have set the passing score at 70% and the client is okay to just get the actual passing score into the LMS for reporting. I was told that you have to execute a javascript but I will be glad if there was an easier solution. Thanks in advance, Kind Regards, Parm

Hello Parm and welcome to Heroes! Wanted to make sure that you have a results slide set up after the quiz which will trigger to submit the results to your LMS. However, it will be up to them as to how they display the results. You can look here for information on troubleshooting the tracking and reporting with your LMS. Also, you can test the course on the SCORM Cloud, which is the industry standard for testing, to verify that the results are being set. Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi Parm, Storyline has four different options to pass completion to an LMS, two of which also include the success status as detailed here: Passed/Incomplete Passed/Failed Completed/Incomplete Completed/Failed Many LMSs track both a completion status and a success status. To report both statuses, choose either Passed/Incomplete or Passed/Failed when publishing Storyline content. Completed/Incomplete and Completed/Failed report only the completion status. As Emily shared, its up to each LMS how they display the data that Storyline sends and what option you need to use within the Storyline LMS publishing set up (ie Scorm 1.2 vs Scorm 2004 vs. AICC, etc. or the completion/success statuses above). If you test your course at SCORM Cloud, you'll be able to see a good indication of the data that is being sent and if the score is not recorded at all.

Hi Lizzie, Glad you were able to figure it out - that article was specific for text variables, and numeric variables are handled a bit differently. This article will walk you through the different options for data entry fields.

Hello Nicole - Articulate Storyline lets you track a course either by the number of slides viewed or by a single quiz (result slide). Tracking both measurements for the same course isn't supported. Similarly, tracking multiple quiz scores in the same course isn't supported. However, you may be able to track more than one SCO (shareable content object) in a single course using one of the unsupported methods in this article. To report both completion status and success status to an LMS, select either Passed/Incomplete or Passed/Failed as the reporting option when publishing your Articulate Storyline content. See this article for more information.

Hi All - I have created a quiz in the form of a game. We are not as interested in who 'passed' or 'failed' and the results percentage, we are more interested in creating a competition based on high points scored instead. For example, 100% = 300 points. (that's right now, of course it's going to get much bigger and more complex).... Is there a way to pass the points to the LMS instead of the percentage? We would rather see a report that indicates 300 points instead of 100%, We have a big quarterly event and want to create a challenge - high scorer wins.... I am using Convert to Free Form slides with Drag and Drop and a results slide (which will become multiple results slide as we add levels, but for now - there is only 1 level and 1 result slide). I'm using Storyline 2. :( Thanks all!

Hey Lizzie! Storyline doesn't report the value of variables to a LMS, but you could give this workaround a try! And just to clarify, are you sending one cumulative varying score to the LMS, or 5 separate scores?

Hi Alyssa - thanks for your reply. I did see that work around and will have to give it a try - I think I thought that because the results slide and questions offer you the option to score points that it would feedback those points in the SCORM file as well as the percentage.

I am just wanting to feedback the one score. - Will try that work around.

ok so I am trying to follow the work around , but when I come to add the trigger that changes the text variable to equal the score I want to record, I don't get any options in the variable box other than the 'TextEntry' - but that is the variable I am trying to adjust - what am I missing??

worked it out - my score is numerical - therefor the text entry wouldn't accept it - I made it a numeric enter question and was able to apply my score - the notes might need to be updated to reflect this as it took me a while to figure out

  HI, Please help on how to add scores to LMS. I tried passing with the numeric variable, however the LMS reporting still shows pass or fail. Don't know how these scores will move to LMS>

Hi All - I've done some digging around this morning and it looks like storyline can not track completion by slide's viewed AND a score from a results slide. Is this accurate? My client would like to track completion by slides viewed, but also have a score reported. Thanks for the clarification! (I'm building the course in SL360)

Hi Cathy!

You could also send the Results.ScorePoints variable to the LMS using this method. And since the Results.ScorePoints variable is numeric, use a How Many Survey question rather than a Short Answer Survey question.

You've got some options--be sure to pop back in and let us know what works for you!

Hi Lizzie and Alyssa!

Wow! Both options are great! I have an email out to our LMS provider to uncover what can be done on their end to show the game questions/answers in our reporting...once I hear back from them, that will determine whether we try to get results from within the LMS or need to go outside of it to Google. Thank you so much! I will get back to you with how I fared soon!

Actually, Alyssa

A question regarding your suggestion....assuming our LMS will allow for this option, it may be more streamlined to use this approach and keep it in all of the reports that we generate throughout the organization already. So, my questions are:

1. Where would I insert this "how many" survey question slide? (1 time or after every question)

2. Can I hide it? If so, how?

3. And, would I simply make the answer the %Results.ScorePoints% variable? Or do I have to do something else?

4. You also mentioned that I would need to link it to the results slide. How?

Sorry - I'm trying to visualize it - as I've never used survey questions before.

Thanks.

Great questions, Cathy!

You'll only need one "how many" survey question slide, since you're only passing one variable to the LMS, which is Results.ScorePoints.

The video in this tutorial answers your questions 2-4. You'll notice it's for Storyline 1, but you can use the same method for Storyline 2.

Let me know if that helps!

Hi Shobana,

I don't know if Lizzie is still subscribed here to share her custom set up - but using a built-in Results slide should pass the results.scorepoint variable to your LMS.

If you are looking to use a more custom setup, share a bit more detail about what that looks like for you and I'm sure someone in the community can weigh in on next steps!
