Solution: Storyline block for text input and save to cmi.interactions (SCORM 1.2)
For anybody interested, I have developed a SCORM 1.2 Storyline block that can be used to collect input from a user on an LMS. The block can also be configured as a mandatory completion.
It is fairly simple to configure and publish to Review 360 for inclusion in your Rise 360 project.
There are a couple of configuration options:
id: Define the ID of the activity, e.g a question text. This is used for the cmi.interactions.id and can be used to identify the question/response in the LMS report
charactercount: How many characters the user should enter before the Submit button is enabled.
Unfortunately with it being a Storyline block, we cannot overcome the "Play button" requirement for mobile devices.
We made the decision to make the activity large, so that when it is scaled it is still legible on mobile devices.
Demonstration in the attached video.
And for anybody interested, there's a notes one too (for SCORM 1.2 LMS). Allows you to Save notes, and view all notes that have been saved throughout a module.
Thanks for this, Sam. Now we're just trying to get the cmi data out of our LMS (Canvas.)
If anyone has successfully done this with Canvas already, please let me know.
Sam, thank you!
This is a wonderful solution, Sam! We've even been able to store user responses for two separate questions in our LMS.
We'd like to do the same with Likert style questions (4-5 questions in a Storyline block). Have you been able to use a similar solution? Do you have an example *.story file? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for sharing your files, Sam! These will be very helpful to the community for sure!
Thanks so much, Sam! This is a fantastic solution to capture learners' input in our LMS. I'm very grateful for your willingness to share your expertise and blocks with the community. Thanks!
Hi,
So, I downloaded and used the input block which worked with our LMS (Litmos). Now, I am trying to add multiple open ended questions in one block to create a quiz and the integration is not working past the first question. I've played around with the javascript (I'm not an expert) but I'm not making any headway. Has anyone else created multiple open ended blocks that upload completion to an LMS?
Our team did get multiple input blocks working and storing to our LMS (Moodle through SCRM 1.2). However, we just ran into two issues:
1) If there is more than one input block on a lesson, then the response in the last block in the lesson replaces the response in the input block right before it -- when the user moves onto a different lesson and comes back. For instance, with 3 input blocks, block 1 remains unchanged, but block 2 gets overridden with block 3's response. We have "resume saved state" set but that doesn't seem to make a difference. However, in our LMS, all 3 distinct answers are saved (the user just can't go back and review their answers).
2) The input blocks in the subsequent lessons gets filled in with the response from the last input block in the earliest lesson -- and then the user cannot enter any other responses.
When we were doing our testing a month ago, we didn't notice this issue at all! I'm not sure if we weren't paying attention or if something has changed in our LMS?!? We're just about ready to roll our module out to pilot users.
Hi Janelle,
Please could you let me know how you stored the answers to Moodle?
Best wishes,
Kate
Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for this :)
Did the video have sound? I cant seem to hear anything.
Could you say how to collect the data to an LMS like Moodle?
Many thanks
Is there a way for the learner to save their responses? I'm working on a writing activity where the learner is planning for their own project and would likely want to remember the content they entered.
This is great info! Thanks so much! I'm learning so much here.
