Solution: Storyline block for text input and save to cmi.interactions (SCORM 1.2)

And for anybody interested, here'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 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? 

If the RIse developers are watching - yes the community would like updates in this area.
But , It should be done in rise as blocks and  functions, not via storyline insert.

But thank you Sam for sharing and showing it can be done.

I had hoped when starting to use Rise that all the interactions possible in storyline, including likert,  would be made possible very soon for Rise as well. Turned out not to be the case. Why, i dont know.
Rise is due for a major update in that regard. I would even suggest that they offer an advanced section of blocks that can be expanded on frequent basis. based on user needs. 

Its not like it takes years to create these blocks, test and implement. So hoping to see a major update with relevant functionality blocks this year. At the very least to be on par with storyline.

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, for issue #1, did you ensure that each input is on it's own Storyline block, and has a unique ID set where {ID} is a unique ID:

When the timeline starts on this slide
- Set id to value "text-input-01"

#2 - This sounds related to #1, just ensure you have unique IDs defined for each of the SL blocks. This will mean, publishing each unique SL block to review 360. Ensure you publish the block to review 360 using the unique ID as the name too, to make it easy to identify when inserting into Rise.

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.
