Within Canvas, can I track how many slides a learner has completed within a Storyline module?
Biggest issue in all this for sure ain't the Storyline part but the Canvas part of it. Using Scorm you can write to the Canvas gradebook or speedgrader. Whether the slidesViewed can be written to the gradebook has to be seen. I do think Canvas permits limited data to be written. Completed/not completed and a score i think. You can misuse the score as a percentage for the amount of slides visited. Offcourse you also can write any variable to Googlesheets or a database.
Furthermore only results that are feed into the gradebook or speedgrader are results from a resultpage. So you need to build your Storyline around a quiz. Or rather have a resultspage.
Canvas has been a big pain for sure, lots of limitations we are trying to work around - the Storyline file has around 65 quizzes out of 96 slides, and quite a few areas that link to Canvas upload locations. Since the storyline is using the SCORM_2004 format, do you think I could use the correct_response statement that is sent to Canvas to solve for this? And just use those answered questions as a way to track progress? Not ideal, but wondering if that's possible.
Also, do you have any suggestions about how to automatically write a variable to an online spreadsheet or database?
Thank you!
I use firebase/firestore for variables all the time. That works perfect. You probably can use the correct response, points or % to do what you want. If you have admin rights on your Canvas ( institution wide) you can use the canvas api and do a lot more.
Very cool, good tip!
The client uses Net Forum primarily to store variables, and while I could ask around in Net Forum discussions, I'm wondering: Similar to what Nedim was talking about, do you think it's viable to store the number of slides completed and then pass that to Net Forum, or since I already have quizzes for quite a few of the slides, is there some other more likely solution? Perhaps even use some sort of percentage-of-project-completed variable that you may have in mind?
I do not have institution-wide Canvas access unfortunately, and the client requested they largely have control over the Canvas space of the project.Actually i didnot know Net Forum untill now. So on that part i cannot help you.
