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.

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?

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?

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,

Tracking quiz results in SAP

Has anyone had success in tracking quiz progress/results in
the SAP Learning Solution? We are implementing that LMS now, but
once I import a Captivate course, SAP does not seem to
capture/track the quiz results when the user goes through the
course.

dwrobertson,
There are at least two issues you should know about
integration with SAP:
- Captivate requires a change to a variable in the HTM file
after you
publish (though you could make the same change to the
SCORM.htm template
file so you make the change once and everytime you publish it
uses the
updated template).
-SAP doesn't use the score from Captivate. Scoring in SAP is
based on the
completion of all of the SCO's in a course. Since Captivate
creates a
course with a single SCO, when a learner completes your SCO
(your Captivate
file) they probably see a score of 100.
The change to the HTM file needs to be to the variable
"g_intAPIOrder".
Change it from a 0 to a 1.
More specific information can be found here (though there
isn't any
reference to SAP):

Let me know if this works/helps.

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.

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!

Hi,
You can try out this solution -

LMS not tracking quiz completion or interaction data

I have created two identical assessments (apart from the questions). When users exit the POST assessment on the Quiz Reporting slide, the LMS tracks their completion and interaction data. However, when users exit the PRE assessment on the Quic Reporting slide, the LMS does NOT track their completion nor interaction data. I've configured all Quiz Preferences identically. Is there something else I'm missing?

I'm not sure of this and defer to any contrary/additional replies that may follow...but...
Past versions of CP have required some sort of scored interaction in order for the lesson to properly report via SCORM to the LMS.
If you have a CP lesson without any scored interactions (no 'reporting'), that may be why completion is being recorded to the LMS.
SO try setting up one scored interaction as you suggest.
For CP lessons that do have quizzes, you won't need that separate scored interaction.
You'll also likely want to change you settings to just 'Slide Views Only' if you just want completion reported based on them viewing the whole project, and I suspect Slide View Completion should be 100, not 10...
Let us know how that goes...

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.
Cheers... Rick

Outputting quiz results to E-mail / Excel

Hi everyone,
I am a multimedia computing student currently on placement at
an organisation. I am designing an e-learning package at the moment
and am fairly new to Captivate. I have designed a package which
consists of 6 question slides. I have set the project to send the
results of the quiz to my work's e-mail address. I'm trying to find
out if there is a way of getting Captivate to directly output the
results to an Excel document. I have read numerous articles on this
site regarding outputting the results to an Access database and
would use this method, although my workplace unfortunately does not
have ColdFusion. I have also read the article regarding manually
importing the results from the e-mail into Excel, but have been
asked by my supervisor to see if there is way for Captivate to
automate this process. If you guys can help in any way, it would be
greatly appreciated.
The organisation does not currently have a LMS either, so I
can't even output the results to that. On top of that, they want me
to find a way of identifying when somebody has been through the
appication, but without a LMS I guess Captivate is unable to do
that. If you can let me know whether this is true too, that would
be brilliant!
Many thanks in advance for your help guys.

Would your office, department, and/or township be willing to
look at an
LMS? There are a few free and low-cost LMS products out
there...
Gaftop's solution is decent but shouldn't be limited to ASP.
Since Captivate can run javascript functions that are present
in the
parent HTML page, just make calls to that JS, which then
posts to
whatever backend page you have setup to receive that POST
(ASP, PHP,
etc). Then have the backend page update the database.
This does, of course, require some sort of web server.

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.

Is there a debug mode for Presenter SWF published to a custom LMS?

I've implemented a simple LMS interface (API_1484_11) in JavaScript on the page that loads the SWF generated by Presenter. The SWF is playing fine, and it appears to call the API_1484_11.Initialize() method, but then doesn't call any of my Commit(), GetValue(), or SetValue() methods. Weird thing is that is used to work fine, and I can't figure out what I changed that would break it.
In my Presenter presentation, the Quiz Manager settings have these reporting options:
- LMS set to SCORM (Manifest set to 2004 type)
- Report data set to quiz results and slide views
- Pass or fail set to report complete/incomplete
- Score set to report as percent
- Level set to report interactions and the score
Is there any way to tell the SWF to run in a debug mode so it will provide some sort of information or feedback about what it is doing regarding the LMS interface?

Ugh. So I quit out of my browser and restarted, and now the Presenter Flash is communicating with my mini-LMS interface properly. After Initialize() it calls getValue() and asks for cmi.location, cmi.score._children, etc. values. I think I've seen this happen before, where if I accidentally have two windows with a Presenter Flash object in them, they both stop working with the LMS API until I quit and restart my browser. (I'm on a Mac with Firefox but have seen this on Windows with IE, too, I think.)
But still, I'm wondering if there are any debugging tricks with the Presenter Flash object... or any API documentation for it?

Captivate 5.5 Quiz results change after review

I've looked through the questions here and can't seem to find an answer/explanation for what I'm experiencing.
I've created a quiz (test) where the attempts per question are 1 failure levels set to "none" (this is acting as a final exam for a course so I want them to answer the question and move on).
When the quiz is completed I get the score and after clicking "review quiz" and going through the answers, the score changes. It always drops.
So if I complete the quiz the first time and get a score of 96%, click "review quiz" and go through each question, when I get back to the score page the score has changed to 92% or 90% and that's what's being reported back to my LMS (Inquisiq) when the quiz is closed. It seems to be reporting the correct item answers to the LMS but the overall score is being reported incorrectly.
Reporting settings are:
SCORM 2004
Send tracking data at end
Pass/Fail
Report as a percent
Quiz results only
Interactions and score
No backward movement allowed
No skip button
Only a submit button
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Rod,
I don't have any custom widgets or playbars or swfs, it's all stock. Just changed the quiz settings.
I tried Liliybiri's suggestion to remove the playbar controls. (Thank Lilybiri!) I also allowed backward movement but required answers to all questions. This gave me the back and skip buttons I needed for the review. I deleted all non-question slides so that the review is only navigating to/from question slides and this seems to be working. I've tried it myself several times and have been unable to make it happen again. I've got a couple other users testing as well.
Rod, I was also thinking that maybe this particular project had become corrupted and I should try a new one from scratch. I may test that tomorrow anyway to see if it's my quiz settings or a corrupted project. I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks to you both for your help with this today!
