SCORM 1.2 Question Text

I've noticed that our LMS, (SABA) has a field cmi.interactions.n.text that accepts the question text of a slide. Is there any way we can get Storyline2 report the question text to the LMS in this field?

 

Thanks

    I tried the SCORMFunctions.js patch above that Dave posted but it did not work for me.  Previously I was using the replacement files that Vance Sumner had posted on the Saba Community site and they worked perfectly until today when I updated Storyline 360 to current version. Does anyone else have new patch or replacement files to get the question text to appear in Saba LMS when publishing to SCORM 1.2? SCORM 2004 does not work for us for the reasons cited above.

    Hi Lauri,

    A lot has changed in Storyline 360  since Storyline 2, and I haven't looked at that patch since Storyline 2. The problem stems from the fact that the SCORM 1.2 spec does not specify what to do with the question text, and therefore is was not implemented in Storyline.

    I will look at it as soon as I can, to see if I can rewrite the patch for you. I'm currently in the middle of a move, so it may be a bit. I apologize for the inconveniance.

      Articulate sent me a link so that I can revert back to Storyline 360 version 3.35.21017.0. Once I did that and applied the two replacement files recommended by Saba I can now see the question text again in Saba Cloud when publishing to SCORM 1.2.

  • I can post the working patch for SL360, I have kept them up to date as we are using Saba as well. The big thing is that SL changed from SCORMFunctions.js to SCORMDriver.js, that is probably one of the reasons it is no longer working.

    Let me know if you would like the new files and where this needs to be placed and I will gladly upload. We have been successfully using q level reporting for over 2 years now with Saba.

    FYI, I worked with Vance and Dave's patch to get the Saba patch you have from Vance to work in Saba.

      Yes! It would be great if you could post the files and the Articulate 360 folders they belong in. Thank you!

      Hi, Dustin. I recently tried to implement Dave's solution on a SCORM 1.2 course and noticed the absence of the SCORMFunctions file. Would you mind sharing a sample SCORMDriver file and note where the changes were made in the code?

      I know this is an old thread but having your solution would really help right now.

    That is awesome Dustin, I do remember that change. I'm not using SABA anymore, so I quit working on it.

  • I'll just share this in the hope that it helps anyone who also stumbles across this thread and may not be aware: the cmi.interactions.n.text field is not part of the SCORM spec (either 1.2 or 2004; cmi.interactions.n.description is 2004-only), so in that sense this absolutely was a SABA issue rather than a SCORM or Storyline issue.
