PreTest in Rise if Pass Course Complete

Please add my vote that this is more than a nice-to-have option. A test-out option for mandatory compliance courses is a crucial development need for Rise.

This makes me a little sad. Rise would have minimized my development time significantly and elevated our training's design. However, without this pretest feature (allowing the user to test out of the training, marking it as complete) I will unfortunately not be able to use Rise for our annual training. I add my name to the petition.

I can't believe this feature has been requested for two full years and is still being ignored. Ever hear of listening to the Voice of Customer? 

+ 1. Lets say we create a course with multiple lessons and the first lesson is a Pretest. If we set LMS tracking to complete course based on the Pretest score, that's great. But if the pretest is failed, the secondary course completion criteria must be percentage complete of all blocks.

There's a solution to this that I just discovered.

Yes, having the ability to implement a Pretest at the beginning of the course to test one's competency and provide the option to receive credit for what they already know is a required feature. At the same time, if the pretest is failed, credit must be received in the LMS when the lessons are completed. As much as I love Rise, this was a major deficiency (being able to track both Quiz Result and Course Completion at the same time). I almost had to ditch Rise...but!....I'll be sharing the easy post-publish steps soon. I first need to document them clearly and share them with my team.

I must admit, we gave up and redid all our compliance training in Storyline.  We needed it sorted by 30 June so a month ago we bit the bullet and pulled the plug on Rise. I also am a fan of Rise but it just did not suit what we needed.

Ok, so if your Rise project (SCO) design looks something like this...

-Pretest (Quiz)

-Lesson

-Lesson

...and you want to track SCORM completion with successful attempt at the pretest - OR - completion of the lesson(s) if the pretest is failed, follow these SIMPLE steps:

1. Publish your project using SCORM 1.2 (havent tested 2004) Track Using Quiz Result, and the Complete/Incomplete reporting type.

2. Unzip your SCORM package and navigate to the "/scormcontent/index.html" file and open it for editing. Open with Notepad in Windows for simplicity.

3. In the index file, search for "var quizID" and then copy the unique ID including the quotes. Example: "pZ_Bl06cx0D_t9hkEZnxaN35KGkgTy7b"

4. Search the index file for function "finish(totalProgress)" and paste the copied quiz ID over the "null". Example: quizId === "pZ_Bl06cx0D_t9hkEZnxaN35KGkgTy7b" &&

5. Rezip your SCORM package and test on your LMS. 

This discovered functionality allows your learner's to "test out" of any SCO for competency-based learning. 

Remember, you can compile multiple Rise projects (SCOs) into a multi-sco package if you are comfortable with the manifest file.

It would be great if this functionality was possible through the Rise frontend configuration. 

I agree, this function is much needed at my organization. Not having this pre-test & post-test ability in Rise keeps us from using Rise. I'm looking for the same functionality as Sam mentioned.  

• 100% on optional pretest = pass & test out of course
• less than 100% or bypass pretest = course and exam with 80% or better to pass
• both assessments drawn from the same randomized question bank

Is Articulate currently working on adding this feature?

Thanks for letting us know how we can make Rise 360 better for your needs, Lisa. While those features aren't on our roadmap right now, I appreciate your feedback!

Hi Carol, I understand. Since we see every request from the community, sharing your needs here is the best way to impact the priority of a request.
