Recording which branch in a branching scenario was completed in LMS
Hi, we use Workday learning. A colleague has asked if there is a way for our LMS to record which of two branches were completed as learners move through our eLearning module. We are looking to produce a storyline course that routes managers through a short version, and engineers through a longer version dependent on selections they make during the initial stages of the course.
I have thought that perhaps using SCORM 2004 and recording an 'interaction' that could be reported on might be one way; however I wouldn't have thought as a standard completion record any LMS could tell you this level of information.
Has anyone experience in this?
Storyline is designed to report graded quiz and survey results to an LMS. It doesn't report on how a user completed interactions nor what slides they visited.
If each branch uses a separate quiz, you could tell which branch someone took by pulling the quiz details from the LMS.
Another option: Use a Survey question slide (or slides) to determine the path.
- It sounds like the users already need to make selections that determine their path, so perhaps those could be done via Survey question slides.
- Alternately, you could use a disguised Survey question slide. Cover its buttons or input field, and use triggers to select/enter an "answer" based on which path the user will be going down.
- Note that you'll also need to include a Survey Results slide somewhere. That's what tells Storyline to send the survey info to the LMS. That slide could also be disguised (for example, make it look like a course summary).
Another option would be to use JavaScript or xAPI. (Sorry, I can't help with that.)
This post explains how to send the value of a variable to an LMS using xAPI or a Survey question:
