Score increasing instead of decreasing/actualising?
Hello everyone,
I understand the title can be confusing so let me explain you a bit better:
As I was testing some tests on an LMS, I've realised that the "actual" score of a test is done through the test. As an exemple, you have 5 questions and if you enter the correct answer at the first question, your "raw score" will be 100 (like "until now, you have 100% if good answer"). If the second question you answer wrong, you "raw score" will become 50%, and else.
My question is about this way of doing. Is there a way to change it into "You answer the first question correctly, your raw score is 20 (one answer correct), so the score will always increase and never decrease. Or is there a way to prevent the score to be sent after each slide?
The actual LMS I'm working with is set up to keep the highest score, so if someone answers the first question correctly....the score will stay at 100% right now.
Hi Franois,
If these are the score settings in your LMS, you might want to contact your LMS support for the solution.
If your test has been configured in Storyline, which score tracking settings did you use? If it was set up using a number variable with 100 as a default value and a trigger to subtract <number> if a user answers incorrectly, then you can edit this variable:
1) change its default value to 0
2) and add trigger to add <whatever number you need> to this variable when the user answers correctlyThis way the score will always increase.
Hope it helps!Hi Tatyana,
Thank you for your fast answer ! I realise that some informations may be missing:
I tested the quiz within Storyline, without touching any parameter. I just created my questions, then added a result slide, and in the LMS tracking, I chose the Passed / Failed status.
So basically, I do not "choose" to add or substract points to the score, it is done automatically by Storyline. I just realised how it worked by testing the SCORM on SCORM Cloud, and I saw these lines
I tried to check the variables in the Storyline project but they are all on "Set automatically" so it seems I can't "change them".
I also tried to change the variable by using Javascript, but I'm not sure about the way to write it.But it doesn't seem to be sent to the LMS like this. So I doubt if it can be changed.
So, creating a custom variable is okay for me, adapting it too, but I'm not sure how it can be "understood" as being the score of the course, be sent to the LMS and understood by it.
Interesting, thank you. If you are comfortable with this and there is not sensitive information in your course, you can share the file with me so that I test it on my side.
But overall, if you didn't change any settings in the quiz created, it's likely the problem is in the way this specific LMS reads the SCORM file and then it's better to get in touch with their technical support.
