The built in likert scale has no purpose except to make the participant feel like they are heard when actually nobody cares. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Hi there, Paris. Have you had any issues reporting Likert scale survey results to your learning management system?

    LMS
    How does the survey get reported in the LMS?

    My Uses
    I don't plan on using it for the learning management system. I wanted to use it internally to calculate advice for students. Based on their checking how well they can do something, I can calculate if testing out of a subject it appropriate. This would be delivered on a later slide. I don't need to capture this for an LMS. It is delivered back to the student.

    My Solution
    Create my own buttons that individual alter the variable. It's not perfect but it works pretty well.

    Thanks,
    Paris

      Oh, I see, Paris. Thanks for the explanation! To report those results to an LMS, you would need a results slide that tracks the survey slide. Publish to LMS, and Storyline would send the question data to your LMS.

      You are building your interaction the right way for your needs, however. To reference those survey results later, having button sets and custom variables will give you the most flexibility. Please let us know if you need a hand or an extra set of eyes! This community is great for helping with cool design ideas like yours.
