Storing QuizMaker results in a database

I am an ICT teacher at a school, and have created a solution to save all results to a database automatically after the quiz. I am using a MS SQL Server database, but it could easily be adapted to a MS Access or other database.

We have already taken hundreds of tests, and all results are stored, up to individual answers. The web interface enables you to download results per quiz, per student or per class in CSV format.

All source code is open sourced, and downloadable on http://code.google.com/p/quizbaker/

I am hoping for collaboration from many of you to improve the software. Email me if you like to cooperate on the project.

I have looked at joep's original solution in .NET and have created my own in classic ASP. See http://www.articulate.com/forums/articulate-quizmaker/4317-quiz-database-instructions-code.html

I plan on supporting MS Access, MySQL and port the version to PHP. One of the hardest problems was capturing the user name of the student, which is now done by forcing the student to use Internet Explorer, the only browser that sends the domain user automatically.

      Martin, let me know what you are looking for, you can pm me.

  • Hi Martin,

    This thread is a bit older, and as such I'm not certain that folks are still subscribed. What element were you looking for a video around? You may want to message that user directly using the "contact me" button on their profile to see if they're able to weigh in and offer you some assistance. 

  • Hi Martin!

    This thread is a bit dated and the user you are reaching out to may no longer be subscribed. I would advise to utilize the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile to contact them directly if needed.

    Storing results in a database is not something supported by Articulate.

  • Thanks so much for sharing, B, and hopefully that will be helpful for what Martin has in mind! :)

  • Thanks for these great suggestions for solutions! I am also looking for a way to automatically send the result slide of my Articulate Storyline course to a database. Due to the stricter data protection laws in Germany I am not allowed to use Google Sheets for this, even if this would be the easiest solution. Mr. van der Blonk wrote in his post that you could also have the result slide sent to MS Access. However, I have no programming skills and little idea about this software. Could you help me here? :)
