Exporting quiz results without an LMS

We are able to administer Captivate quizzes directly through our database system without an LMS. We need the results to be posted back to the database upon completion of each quiz.
Is this a PENS function? If so, how do we implement reporting results to the database? Our database developers can import the data in just about any format.

Nope. PENS is for automatically uploading the SCORM-compliant .zip file to your LMS repository, if your LMS so allows.
There's no way to do what you want *natively*. You have to hack the code to do this. If you've got smart JS programmers there, then you can likely do...
When you publish a SCORM compliant file, it outputs an HTML and JS file. The functions in that JS file, as I recall, look for the LMS API and send various datasets to that API as the lesson calls other JS functions.
Theory is you can edit that JS code to NOT look for and send to an API but send to a custom webpage/service instead... That webpage/service takes the data and sorts/stores it however you prefer.
Search around a bit and you may find more detail. I think Andrew Chemey wrote a how-to for this process on Adobe's website somewhere, likely in the CP resources section?

Presenter 7 tracking quiz results without a LMS

Is there a way to track quiz results from quizzes recorded in Presenter 7, without having a LMS? Thanks.

Same exact question I have. I would like to place the presenter file on our GoDaddy server (ugh, I know, not my choice) and have a way for the course taker and us to be able to view the scores of quizzes as well as the final score of the course. Any help with this would be highly appreciated.

Sending flash quiz results to an LMS

Hey Guys,
Using Flash CS3, having issues getting flash to send quiz results to a LMS. Using the Flash quiz templates, exporting with SCORM 1.2 compliance. The LMS is able to track times attempted and if the lesson was complete or not, however the quiz results don't reach the LMS.
I think this can be resolved in the actionscript or the javascript that gets exported with the HTML file
Apparently you can control the javascript functions with FScommands from actionscript
Something like fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw" + "," + integer);
I don't know where in the actionscript this should be triggered from
I can't find documentation from adobe about this function
Has anyone else come across this issue?

In case anyone was interested in an answer to this
Apparently fscommands are an older way of getting data to an LMS
The current way of doing it is using an external class to handle calls to and from the LMS
Philip Hutchison's site http://pipwerks.com/ has alot of helpful information on this topic
A good starting point is here http://pipwerks.com/2008/04/27/how-to-add-basic-scorm-code-to-a-flash-movie/

Quiz Results without LMS

Is there a way in Captivate 3 without an LMS to report to
that will capture quiz questions answered correctly, skipped,
answered in correctly, etc.? The e-mail function only sends
pass/fail. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Hi ClydeMJ,

Adobe Presenter 9 quiz results reporting to LMS

We have over 50 users of AP9, and currently use a Success Factors LMS. Our AP9 quiz results are currently reporting only the cut/mastery score to the LMS student transcript, not the actual score the student gets. Any ideas? I've read all the help and tutorial material and it does not address the actual score reporting anywhere. What are the correct quiz and Reporting options settings to get actual scores reported for a final quiz? We SCORM wrap v1.2. Our LMS suppport says it is pulling what AP9 sends- which is the cut score. When we test as a learner, we can get 100% but if the mastery score is set at 80% we see as a learner we acheived 100% but only 80% score goes to our transcript. Does AP 10 function differently in this aspect than AP 9?
Thanks, Elizabeth

Hello,
I am experiencing a similar issue. Was a resolution ever found?

Is it possible to email quiz results without the notification that an email is being sent?

I have created a captivate for use as a tutorial. There are quiz slides spread throughout the captivate. we are going to receive the results via email. is it possible to set it so once they hit the button to send email that it automatically sends without the notification that an email is being sent? currently the warning message pops up giving the option to allow or deny the content from being sent. is there something in the settings that can be changed to just send it...possilbly like the HTML version? any info would be helpful,.
Thanks

Hi there
Yes, it's possible to do. Perhaps the article linked below will help you figure out a method.

Exporting Quiz Results to Excel or .csv file

I have a captivate file that I need to be able to export the
data to a .csv file or a excel spreadsheet. I need to be able to do
this as this is for a research project and will not be run with any
network connectivity to an LMS. The data would then be imported
into a database from that format. I would appreciate any help that
someone could give me on this.

Verifying quiz results in non-LMS situation

OK, I am looking at using Captivate for online training
tutorials, using quizzes to confirm that users have watched the
tutorial and gained a basic understanding of the material. A key
requirement is the ability to verify results for each user.
I see that there is an e-mail option, which supposedly allows
the user to send an e-mail upon completion of the tutorial, but
from what I've read in past posts, it appears that this is a flawed
feature.
Does anyone have a sound solution to the issue of verifiable
results when not using LMS?
Thanks very much!

Export of results into other than LMS

Hi there,
As a Captivate newbie, I'm having difficulty in getting
results experted seamlessly into a system other than a LMS.
I've seen some articles on using Cold Fusion and Excel
spreadsheets to export the data, but there is too much interaction.
What I'd like to do (if it is indeed possible) is to export
quiz results to a comma delimited file seamlessly on a remote
network drive, where the Company ERP system can then pick them up
and import using a perl script (or similar). The last part is
relatively easy, but the export from Captivate2 is what is
perplexing me.
Does anyone have any ideas that they could lend me on how the
setup of this could happen?
Thanks for being patient with this newbie.....
Gunnadothat.

Hello Gunnadothat.
There are a couple posts near to yours that give possible
solutions, such as access databases to sql databases. In your case
you specify a results.txt. If you choose either, getting commo
delimited files is easy.
Look at them and try it. All you would have to do, is instead
of pointing the results to a database, you specify the commo
delimited file.
Here is code and an example to do that.

Sorry, but you can't get away from the interaction. :)

Export Quiz/Tutorial Data (LMS?)

Hi,
I have purchaed a copy of breeze presenter (no access to the
breeze server) and would like to incorporate the breeze content
into a e-learning section of a web application that is running on
ASP.Net/SQL Server 2000.
I have read that Breeze presenter exports/ communicates
results & stats (not sure how) in SCORM or AICC format. I
understand that these are existing standards used by Learning
Management Systems (LMS's) so that any courseware that makes its
results available in a specific format can be plugged into a
conforming LMS.
I would like to get these results and stats (ie. whose done
which tutorials) and manage access using my existing database,
users and groups structures. I would like to go past just storing
which users have accessed which presentation to get the more
powerful information such as how far they got through it, what were
their quiz scores etc...
How should I go about this?
a. do I need to build a small LMS? Does this just mean
developing code that will read XML in SCORM/AICC format?
b. is there existing open source / free LMS I should look to
integrate into my system
c. Is there another way to get this data out of a breeze
presentation (.swf) (javascript/actionscript??)
Any help would be appreciated . I'm not quite sure how to
articulate what I'm after but I hope you get the idea.
Many thanks,
dan.

Hi LBViking and welcome to our community
For the most reliable collection of data, you will need to
install, configure and use Captivate with something called a
Learning Management System (LMS). Many folks immediately pounce on
the E-Mail ability and end up here because it, ummm, shall we say,
works "less than stellar". Essentially it is fraught with issues.

Exporting the result of output of adobe captivate to moodle LMS

Please i am new to adobe captivate,
I'm working on a project and we are using Moodle as LMS, i have developed some learning material for student using adobe captivate. The learning material has some quiz in it (tutor marked quiz).
My major challenge is that i want to be able to put the scores from the quiz for each student into moodle as the student is taking the learnig material.
I published the adobe captivate file to flash.
Thanks

For Moodle, I would suggest you use Report to LMS as Percent, not Score, and use Quiz Results Only. Unless there is some compelling reason why you need to report Interactions and Score, I would just use Report Score. The less information you throw at an LMS, the more likely it is to work for you in many cases.
In your Manifest settings, set the Duration to a number of minutes tha corresponds to the duration of the course or module but make sure it is in the format shown (e.g. 00:30:00 for 30 minutes). Some LMSs won't work properly without this setting. If you will be setting up a number of courses or course modules in the same Moodle server, you need to alter the default Identifiers that Captivate inserts so as to differentiate between all the various courses and course modules you may need to track. If they all have the same identifiers, Moodle will think they're all the same course and your results will be faulty.
When you add a course to Moodle you can specify if it's a SCORM course, which will mean that you can ONLY use a SCORM module as the content for that course. But you can also insert a SCORM module as an activity in a normal Moodle course. You just need to select that as the Activity type.
If you will be working a lot with Moodle, I suggest you go to www.moodle.org and start reading their forum posts about setting up e-learning courses.

Send quiz results for users without Internet access

We have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. I have created an eLearning course in C4 with a quiz at the end. For most users, they take the course through our LMS and we can report results without a problem. However, we have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. Is there a way to capture name and quiz results and send them via email? Alternatively, we can open up a port to access Connect, but I still need to report name and quiz results.
Thank you,
FG

Hello,
Are those users connected in a network? If yes, with the version of Captivate 5 (will be available shortly) it will be possible to have the results send and stored on a server.

Sending Quiz Results to LMS

I've created a quiz. Now how do I set it up to send the
results to an LMS? And in what format are the results sent? Is it
an xml file that will have to be parsed.

Hi there
Normally you click Quiz > Quiz Settings (might be Quiz
Preferences) and look at the Reporting node. You enable it and
configure the options for your specific LMS. Each LMS is likely to
be different and will require different settings here.
To my knowledge it is not a XML file that is used. I believe
most of it is done with JavaScript.

Can I generate a report from my Quiz results....

and Print them out after someone completes a quiz? Without
using a LMS or the email function?
I would like a participant to complete a simple pre
assessment activity and then have Captivate send the results to the
printer.
Anyone doing this?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Tide88 and welcome to our community
Captivate doesn't offer a built in way to do it, but you can
visit fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's site
Raising
Aimee and grab a small widget that you drop on the Captivate
slide that allows the user to print.
I believe that Paul asks for donations in order to help keep
development going. And I can't underscore enough how useful his
widgets can be! So if we all continue to contribute, we will all
benefit.

How do I see email address (LearnerID) in Quiz Results Analyzer

Useing Captivate 5.5
Reporting Quiz results to a local server.
Q: How can I see the "LearnerID" (students email address) in the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer?
When the student clicks on "Post Results" and enters their name and email address in the pop-up window the email address is collected. You can see the email address (LearnerID) in the resulting XML file that's saved in the CaptivateResults folder.
Problem is I can't see the email address in the Analyzer, and don't see an option to include it. How can I see the "LearnerID" or the students email address in the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer? From here I want to export a CSV file.

Thanks for your response. The quiz results analyzer is awesome, but without the display of email addresses it is not a total solution.
I'm using an internal server and what I found out is that the .xml file that Captivate creates in the CaptivateResults folder (that Captivate also creates) contains the email addresses.
So, rather than use the analyzer, I will have to figure out the best way to view email addresses from the xml file. If anyone has a solution that you are happy with, please let me know.
