Report Number Variable Result to LMS

Hi! I use using number variable to build a customized quiz and a customized feedback! I am wondering how to report the number variable result (a score) to the LMS? 

 

Any thought will be greatly appreciated!

  • Storyline reports graded-quiz results or survey results to an LMS when a course includes a Results slide with the "Submit results" trigger. 

    You could trick Storyline into reporting your custom results. 

    • Add a Survey Short Answer slide, and disguise it so it doesn't look like a survey question. (Or, since you're using numbers, you could use a How Many survey question.)
      • Cover the text-entry answer field, or just move it off the slide.
      • Add a trigger that puts the value of your score variable into the answer field when the timeline starts. 
      • Use the Slide Properties to add the PREV and NEXT buttons, and to hide the SUBMIT button. 
      • Add the Submit [Short Answer] trigger to the NEXT button.
        • Be sure those extra triggers appear before the trigger that jumps to the next slide.
      • Another option: Make this a blank slide that runs all the triggers when the timeline starts and then advances automatically to the next slide. 
    • Add a Survey Results slide, and disguise it to look however you want. Just be sure it has the Submit Results trigger.

    Judy, this solution may work perfectly for my project as well. I'm stuck on one part, though:

    • Add a trigger that puts the value of your score variable into the answer field when the timeline starts.

    What would this trigger look like? I'm having trouble editing the submit trigger on the "how many" survey slide. 

  • The trigger to put the score variable into the survey answer field would look something like this: 

    Note: Anything in the Trigger Wizard with a dashed underline is editable. You'll probably have to click parts of the trigger to get these settings.

    Thank you! I had it set up this way, but it wasn't letting me select from my full list of variables. I saved and restarted and now it's working. Thanks so much for the great idea and implementation tips - I think I've got a workable plan, now.
