Storyline blocks in Rise...can you report on them using SCORM or XAPI?

Hi Stuart

According to this article using storyline blocks to track completion in Rise 360 will do 1 of 2 things:

If the user passes the storyline block quiz and close the browser, the course is marked as complete and the quiz completion and quiz score is reported to the LMS (Yay!). The score is important as many compliance driven organizations have an 80% pass-mark. This value needs to be present in LMS reports if an auditor arrives.

If the user fails the storyline block quiz and (being annoyed) close the browser, the user is STILL marked as complete(!) but no score is reported.

This is a HUGE issue for organizations focusing on compliance as you have to show the quiz score. However, with current functionality it is actually possible for a user to pass a Rise course while failing the Storyline block quiz - I kid you not!

If compliance is not important and you don't need a score reported to your LMS, just use the method described in step 1 of this article.

If compliance IS important use the simplest workaround all together: Don't use storyline blocks to track completion... (And Articulate, please add some kind of warning to your documentation).

Another (and much better) workaround (course file attached):

1. In your storyline quiz create a blank slide following the last quiz-question - it MUST be before the result slide. You can name it "Storyline has a bug" that's what I did.
2. Add a "Failed" layer to the slide.
3. Create a trigger that shows the "Failed layer" if your Results.ScorePercent is less than Results.PassPercent (built-in quiz variables)
4. Create a trigger instructing Storyline to jump to the result-slide if Results.ScorePercent is greater than or equal to Results.PassPercent
5. Publish your storyline course to Review 360 - Track the result slide ONLY
6. Add the course to Rise as a storyline block using the storyline quiz block to track completion.
7. Publish the Rise course using SCORM 2004 2nd edition or later 

do NOT add a Submit Results trigger before the results slide. This is what causes the course to marked as complete.

This method ONLY reports the course as complete if the user passes the quiz AND (more importantly) it ALSO reports the quiz score (this is huge for compliance organizations where showing that score is required).

The only downside is that the number of quiz attempts aren't caught using this method. This is currently not possible as that requires submitting the results - which completes the course.

I'm missing an explanation as to WHY this behavior is happening.

Tested in SCORM cloud and cornerstone - works.

I've attached my testing course for use.
