Quiz Setup
I am in a 30-day trial for Articulate Storyline 360... considering abandoning the supremely frustrating Adobe Captivate ship. Here's what I'm trying to do that I can't figure out how to do in Captiv...
Survey questions don't have right or wrong answers. Hence, they aren't graded, and there are no built-in variables with a passing score or the user's score.
If you score Survey Pick-One questions with custom programming, you'll also need special programming to send that score to the LMS (https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Send-the-Value-of-a-Variable-to-an-LMS ).
Since you do want the "self assessment" info reported to the LMS, here's another option: use Graded Multiple Choice questions with some special settings.
Set each question to Score By Choice. That allows you to assign a point value to each answer.
Set the Feedback for each question to None. With that setting, the program won't show Correct and Incorrect layers when the user submits the question.
Also use a Graded Results slide. You can edit the base, Success, and Failure layers so the slide only shows the information you want the users to see.
One more question...
If I want everyone to technically pass... so the lowest score (3) is still considered a success, will I be able to get the "failure" layer with the custom message (you need to follow up with a risk assessment) to pop? They would have to "fail" to get the failure message, right?
If so, perhaps I need to dig deeper into how to get the non-graded score I added custom to show in the LMS.
I suggest that you set the passing score to 0%, and have everyone see the Success layer.
On the Success layer, you can show different messages based on the user's score. For example:
- Have a separate object (text box or shape) for each message. Set their Initial State to Hidden. For each object, have a trigger that changes its state to Normal with a condition based on the score.
or
- Put both messages in different states of the same object. Use triggers with conditions to change to the appropriate state based on the score.
This is perfect! I followed your advice and set it up as graded... tested in LMS and worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Is there a way to only pass the points vs. a percentage? For example, if I want to pass a score of 3 out of 6 vs. 50%, is that possible?
The scoring is based on the % correct. That's what is submitted to the LMS.
However, you don't have to show the user their score as a percentage. Just delete that info from the Results slide, and display the ScorePoints / PassPoints variables instead.
