Tracking Raw Game Scores in LMS – Is This an LMS Limitation or a Storyline Setting?
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a game-based interaction built in Storyline where I’m capturing a raw score (for example, total points earned in a quiz-style game).
I’m able to store the score successfully using JavaScript and Storyline variables, but when the course is published to the LMS, the reporting only shows the completion status or a percentage — not the actual numeric score.
The use case here is that higher scores are tied to incentives, so displaying the raw score would be important.
Before going too deep into workarounds, I wanted to ask:
• Is displaying a raw numeric score typically limited by the LMS?
• Has anyone managed to display raw scores using SCORM or xAPI?
• Are there known LMS platforms that support this better than others?
I’d appreciate any insight or real-world experience you can share.
Thanks in advance!

One way to report variable's value is to put it into a Survey question. Or use xAPI. Here's more info: https://www.articulatesupport.com/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Send-the-Value-of-a-Variable-to-an-LMS
Thanks for sharing this 👍
Using a Survey question or xAPI makes sense for capturing and reporting raw variable values. I’ll review the article you shared and see if xAPI gives us more flexibility compared to standard LMS tracking. Appreciate the guidance!
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
