Storyline scales score by half when reporting to the LMS
Hi Eric,
Thank you! I think I have a better understanding of how score is calculated now - I wasn't sure about the math behind it.
1. What I'd like to see in the LMS is the score in numbers rather than the percentage. I replicated your test and here's a screenshot of how results show in our LMS:
The number on the right is the max possible score, which I need to define manually. This is for the benefit of the users, so they know how many points they can earn. Here I set it to 170, since it's the perfect score while using all the bets.
The number on the left is the score as it's sent from the SCORM. It shows the score percentage. Here it shows 92 as 120/130 = ~92%, but I would like it to show 120.
Following the same logic, if user A got 100/100 and user B got 170/170, both would get 100 in the LMS, but I would like user B to get 170 since they took risks and succeeded in their bets. I am wondering if it's at all possible...
2. To replicate my 77% test, I used all bets except the last one and got 3 wrong answers that cost me 30 points, so the score is 100/130.
Hopefully I managed to explain myself better.
Thanks again for your detailed reply!

Hi Nilli,
Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change how Storyline 360 reports scores to an LMS. You'll need to reach out to your LMS administrator to make any customizations to your LMS, including how scoring is graded. Here's a reference article which explains all of the data that is sent to an LMS by default:
As for the 77%, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this be correct since the learner scored a score of 100/130 which calculates to 76.9%? Seeing a score of 77 in your LMS would be the expected value in this case.
