Reporting quiz score when spread across separate lessons? cp8

Hi,
I have 7 lessons in my course. The LMS does NOT support a mastery roll-up score like the originally indicated they did. They cannot be combined in to one lesson. They are large.
So each has a portion of the quiz (no, they cannot be all placed in one lesson, they have to be separate). What I'd like to do is gather the scores of all 7 parts and tally them in to one final score to report to the LMS. As I see it, Captivate does not support this. I spotted CPGuru's Save & Load data widget. This looks like it will really help out. I think using this I can save each partial score and then in the final lesson tally them all up. The problem now becomes how do I report that score to the LMS as THE final quiz score result? I don't see a way to modify the quiz variables.
Ideas? Another widget out there?
Thanks!
Lori

That is really a strange LMS you are using: no gradebook or something similar at all? What you are asking for is typical a functionality of (most) LMS's.
Quizzing system variables are read-only, you cannot change them at all. Although you could transfer the results of the different quizzes to the 'master' project, how will you transfer them to the quizzing system variables. Only those define what will be put in the SCORM reporting. For a different goal, reporting custom questions, I have been looking for ways to get results into the quizzing system variables, but for a use case like yours I only see Javascripting as a solution or the use of the Mastery widget by Infosemantics (SWF-output only). Summarizing the resulting scores into a user variable is pretty simple, but not transferring it to the quizzing system variable. Only scores attached to question slides, or to interactive objects are included in those system variables. Have a look at my workaround for a much simpler use case for one custom question, maybe you'll understand the problem better:

I have no blog post about the solution with JS, sorry.

Captivate 5 not Reporting Quiz scores correctly in LMS

Our organization is transitioning to Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. We are using SumTotal as our LMS. I took a CP4 project and converted to CP5, then uploaded it as a test. The results were dismaying.
Captivate 5 Scorm 1.2 apprears to send scores to the LMS instead of scaled scores. For example; If you have 20 questions the scaled score should always be 0 to 100.
In the example I converted from Captivate 4, I have 15 quiz questions. In my first try I scored 60% on the Quiz. Captivate reported to the LMS a percentage complete of 0 and a score of 90%. In my second attempt I scored 80% (which is required for passing from within the Quiz setup) and Captivate reported to the LMS 100% complete and a score of 100%.
I repeat, all worked fine with the same course published as Captivate 4.
I work for a very large multinational company. This is a killer for us if we want to go forward with Captive 5. In fact, I have just spent a lot of money upgrading everyone in my department - money wasted if we can't use the output with our LMS.
Does anyone have any ideas, and is there a way to get to someone at Adobe if this forum is unable to provide answers?
Sorry to sound panicked, but I guess I am.

Hi all
You're absolutely right. Adobe silence is extremely unsatisfactory and unprofessional. Below are the email correspondences. Does anyone know who are the President or the CEO and the email address? I think it’s about time to find out why from the top man himself.

Hello Flavian,
Looks like the interaction data for the question is not captured. Can you please check whether ‘Report Answer’ option is checked in ‘REPORTING’ accordion of Quiz PI for all question slides? If not, can please enable this option and check it out?

Hi Vish
The configuration is exactly as described in the Adobe help. Both the quiz and Wampserver is on the same machine. The rest is as per stated on the forum thread.
By looking at the results of the Cp5 Quiz Results Analyzer, does it make any sense? The statistics doesn't fit in at all.
Appreciate your interest in this issue. Hope we can work towards resolving this issue.

Reporting Quiz results when quiz resides on website.

I've gone through all the previous questions, and have spent countless days with the Adobe Live Help staff but cannot get an answer.
Please....is there any way to report- to any LMS, anywhere, alongside the quiz or on a local server, or any other configuration - quiz results, when the quiz is on a website alongside the elearning course.
Using Captivate 8, I've tried communicating test results to Adobe Captivate Quiz Analyzer but, according to the Adobe Live Help it is designed to only work on a local drive not across the internet.
Did ANYONE experience success with quiz reporting when the quiz is on a website???
ANY suggestions, recommendation, etc would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

The email option for communication is likely a thing from yesteryear, when web-mail was largely unknown, as each PC had its own dedicated email "client" (such as Lotus, Outlook, et ux) to which javascript could be passed to perform the mailto: function. Most users today (or the least, a near majority) use web-mail, and there is no mailto: functionality - thus, no use for Captivate's email option on the Success or Failure droplists. I'll leave it to others to correct my misunderstandings ...

Exs problems. Audio files sound strange when spread across keyboard

I just bought a sample pack from the fantom g series and started to import the sounds. When I played them they sounded good in two octaves, but when i ventured farther than that on either side the sound became .. . . well , different. I guess the pitch was changing, but when i went low it sounded like there was a deep filter on it and coming from the depts of ****. On the high side, It sounded very xiolophony ( this is the acoustic grand piano 1 btw ) This would happen if fruity loops too. I set the range to max but it sounds way different if you were playing the fantom, or any instrument for that matter. Is this just " the way it goes " as far as sampling on the exs? or am i missing something.
Thank you,

I think you should ask this question to the manufacturer of that sample pack.
It is certainly NOT a limitation of the EXS24. For instance, any seriously sampled piano will cover the full eight octaves, each key sampled on multiple velocity levels, and EXS24 will not limit that in any way, in fact, its range is C-2 up to G8, 10 and-a-fifth octaves. So it is the manufacturer (Roland?) that built the instrument that has limited the range of 'm, for whatever reason.

How to get the Success Factors LMS to record the quiz score for an Adobe Captivate 7 module.

I have a few questions and one outstanding issue.
My Issue:
I can’t get the score to be recorded by the Success Factors LMS.
Question 1)
I notice that the quiz reporting section in Captivate 7’s Preferences menu has a “Data To Report” section.
However, for SCORM 2004 and Tin Can, there is no option to report Quiz Score like there is for SCORM 1.2 and AICC.
Is reporting the score impossible for those reporting standards?
Question 2)
My organization is using the Success Factors LMS and I’m trying to get the score to be recorded by the LMS.
I’ve set the Published Captivate module to report the Quiz Score as a percentage (Points is unavailable to me since there are more than 100 pts),
but the LMS is recording whether the module was Complete (passed) or incomplete (not passed or yet to be completed).
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Captivate’s side that I need to be setting for Success Factors to correctly record the score?
- Maybe Captivate (in SCORM 1.2) should be reporting the Score as points and not percentage?
- Maybe I should be using AICC?
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Success Factor’s side to interface correctly with Captivate?
I’ve checked the Adobe forums, but I don’t see any help there and
I’ve googled the issue to the point of exhaustion and frustration.
So, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time.
Provided below is a screenshot of my Quiz Reporting settings:

Last year I worked with a customer who has the SuccessFactors LMS and, after some issues and discussions, the SF folks suggested their LMS supports AICC better than SCORM.
That stunned me a bit...
SO, sure, barring anything else, it may not hurt to try AICC!
And I think SF is also limited in their SCORM 2004 support. If going with SCORM, definitely try to get SCORM 1.2 working first.
Your settings look good to me. Maybe can't hurt to try 'points' but I'm not so sure that would work.
So you're ONLY seeing 'Completed/Incomplete' not 'passed/failed' as you'd prefer?
You're not seeing a recorded percentage at all?

Cp6 Quiz score reporting error in LMS

Looking for any inputs - this one's a bit strange:
I've been tasked with developing a course that allows the learner to test-out by jumping directly to the quiz. I've set up a series of advanced actions that allow one shot at the quiz without reviewing the course content, and actions that steer the learner back into the course after failing the quiz. All of these actions work, and the quiz score reports correctly each time within the course - the problem is what happens after that:
I leave the course and go to the learner profile on the LMS - instead of 100%, the score is reporting as 75% (4 question prototype). I've set preferences to complete the course and report the score - the course reports complete, the only error is the incorrectly reported score. When I leave the transcript page and go back to the course, the course opens to the last question in the quiz, rather than the last page visited - and the question is not completed. Is this a setting I'm missing on the Cp6 side, or do I need to interface with the IT guys running the LMS? I'm running Cp6 with the most current patches on a Meridian LMS.

In answer to Rod's suggestion to set the score to percentage:
Done - the client prefers that report anyway. Still seeing the stuff as described below.
In answer to Erik's questions above:
after the quiz, you have a quiz results screen that shows all the information you'd expect, right?
Right - the quiz results screen in the course shows the score achieved
If they passed, how do they close the lesson?
The "Continue" button on the results screen is set up to take them to a completion page. that page has an "exit" button that takes them out of the lesson and back to the LMS.
Does the LMS report the same result as the summary page?
Yes if the quiz is set up to "submit all" answers at once in Quiz:Settings. (However, this is not my client's preferred set-up - so I'm still searching for the answers below)
No if you have the quiz submit each answer individually - see below:
The scores reported on the results screens for the quizzes in the red box above were 100, 90, 80 and 80, respectively.
If they fail the lesson, how are they redirected back to the content?
The "Continue" button on the quiz results page is set up to jump to the first page of content if the score is below passing.
Then they go through the content?
Yes - its required at that point.
how do they retake the quiz?
the "next" button on the last content slide takes them directly to the quiz.
If they retake it, does the summary slide show the correct information?
In the "submit all" mode - this all works perfectly.
If set up to submit after each answer, if you fail the quiz and exit the course before retaking it, the score is reported correctly in the transcript - it seems as if it defaults to the minimum passing score in when you submit each answer individually.
again, how do they then proceed to close the lesson?
They exit the lesson using the "Exit" button, which closes it and takes them back to the LMS.
I'd suggest adding a 'continue' button to that summary slide (if there's not one already) and instruct the user to click, take them to a 'congratulations' page and instructions to now close the lesson.
Done - see above.
Do you have the lesson reporting 'after every slide' or 'send data at end'? If none of the above options help, try changing it from one to the other (in the 'template' options).
I've set it using the submit all checkbox in Quiz:Settings - not sure how to access template options - is this a menu I'm unable to find?
Thanks again for your time on this -

How to get Adobe Quiz Analyzer to report the scores

Currently I have a quiz that reports to an internal server, the quiz was created with adobe captivate 6. The xml files are being created on the server for each person that takes the quiz. When I use adobe quiz analyzer, I get all the reports for everyone that has take the quiz and I can see what they got wrong but i dont get their actual score. The score shows up as a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this? in the xml their score is listed so i know that the quiz is setup correctly.
Below is a screen shot, for safety I had to blur out some information.

Quiz score not reporting to the LMS

Initially the quizzes 'held' the previous answers so the user could not retake them. (Infinite attempts is selected.) I checked off Never Send Resume Data and now the quiz scores aren't reporting to the LMS. Any other suggestions of setting changes I should have done or could now try?

So you want the user to be able to take the quiz as many times as they want? I'm not exactly sure how you want it to act.
Do you have "allow backward movement selected in Quiz Settings? That should allow the user to repeat quiz questions and I think you should NOT have a check in the Never Send Resume data.
I'm no expert, that is for sure, just figure things out as I go. I would try those things and see how it works.

Integrating CP5 Quiz questions with My Own and Reporting ONE SCORE

I've learnt how to use variables and Advanced Actions to create several true/false questions on a single slide and report their scores.
Is it possible to have MYscore variables change the PROJECT score variable?
eg EXPRESSION: "PROJECTSCORE" = v_MyQuestionScores + "PROJECTSCORES"
Am I allowed to mess with the project variables?
Regards

Normally you cannot change the score via any other method than using a quiz slide or an interactive object.
But now you can use the Interactive Master widget from Infosemantics to take data from user variables and use these as slave objects to override the score assigned to the Master widget, which then gets reported to the quiz.
If you want to try this out, download a free trial widget from here and give it a go.

How do I mark complete based on slide views only and not report a score

I am having a problem with the e-learning modules that I am producing in Captivate 4 (and previously 3). The modules do not contain any quiz and I am only interested in having them report a complete/incomplete based on if the user have viewed 80% of the slide. I am not really interested in reporting any score since I am not using a quiz.
Currently the courses gets marked as complete but with a score of 0%, which obiously some users find strange..
Since I only have the option to change the score reporting to be based on score or percenatge I am trying to find where I can change the imsmanifest to send the score - BLANK or NULL instead of 0. I have been looking through the imsmanifest it self and the files in the scorm support folder - but cannot figure where I would do this change.
Any suggestions?

Hi Andrew,
I tried this with a slight change in the code (I think there where a / when commenting out the second line of the code):
} else if ( strFSCmd == "LMSSetValue" || strFSCmd=="SetValue") {
// AEC: OVERRIDE BEHAVIOR
if(strFSArg1.indexOf("raw") > -1)
strErr = "";
} else if (strFSArg1.indexOf("max") > -1) {
strErr = "";
} else if (strFSArg1.indexOf("min") > -1) {
strErr = "";
} else {
strErr = eval('g_objAPI.' + strFSCmd + '(\"' + strFSArg1 + '\",\"' + strFSArg2 + '\");');
// AEC: END OVERRIDE BEHAVIOR
CaptivateObj.SetVariable(strFSArg3, strErr);
However for some reason my LMS still report a score (this time 100% which is much better than 0...) on the course that I tested this on. I was expecting no score to be sent. Can this be due to how the LMS is interpreting what is being sent or is there something that I am missing?
One more question - in which folder do I find the SCORM.htm template file? I thought it was a great idea to create a custom on and was looking for it in the progam file on my compter - but couldn't find it...

Reporting Quiz/Variables

I am looking to find out if anyone has done a lot of research on reporting quiz/variables into PHP/mysql for Captivate 5 or 5.5. I know there was some work done with C4 but I can't find anything for C5. If it works the same I can figure it out.
What I am looking to do is come up with a common set of variables to use across all elearning modules in our corporation (example firstname, lastname, group). And then report both the quiz score with the common variables into a database that is ready for the variable names. If someone could get me started I don't mind publishing everything after I am done.
thanks
Dave

Captivate 5 introduced a publishing option called Internal Server Reporting:
This uses server-side PHP and XML to record user interaction with a course.
Check the online help files and Adobe Blog posts (Google it) for information about setting up Internal Server Reporting. You may find that the variables they've set up with this will prove useful for your own application.

Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching. I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process. I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products). How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5. I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables. I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

Quiz Score Slide - Review Questions

Hi all,
I have put a number of discussions now and still can't seem to get this to work.
Once a user has completed the quiz and got to the quiz score slide to find out if they have passed or failed - for both I would like them to be able to 'review answers'. I know there is a review quiz but this just tells them what they got wrong or right and not why.
I have searched on Captivate and online to figure out how to make this work. I would like the user to be able to go through each slide and when there is a question they got wrong, there is an explanation for them.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi there,
You can have a slide as an explanation slide next to your quiz slides. You can use a conditional advanced action under On Enter property of the explanation slide. With the help of a variable called cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored, you will check whether the last answer was correct or not and have the explanation slide show/hide accordingly. For example, if each question in your project has 10 points associated. The variable will check whether the last question slide scored points were equal to 10, if yes then jump to next question slide and if no then go to the explanation slide.
Here is how it will look in the advanced action window:
Where Slide 4 is the next question slide and Slide 3 is the explanation slide.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Quiz Score in Slide Presentation

Hi All,
I have prepared a short tutorial in slide presentation format
with 20 questions at the end, and I'm trying to get the quiz score
(using Flash with AICC tracking) displayed on the last slide but I
haven't been successful so far. I am using slide template in Flash
Professional 8, and I followed the instructions in Flash help menu
including copying all the required files onto my server, but I'm
still having problem with reporting the quiz score.. The only thing
I don't understand very well in the instruction found on the help
menu is "start the LMS system (or create the AICC Course Descriptor
Files) that references the frameset.htm file."
I would appreciate if anybody could provide me with
information on where to get help on this. Maybe there is a tutorial
somewhere I am not aware of.

Only Last Quiz Score Saved?

I am a new Captivate user but a very experienced Authorware
user. I have created a quiz in my Captivate course which is
launched through our Learn.com LMS. I notice that each time I take
the quiz, it overwrites my last quiz score. Is there a way in
Captivate to only allow users to take a quiz one time? Or is there
a way to find out the score for every Captivate session?
Interestingly, I notice that each time I take the quiz, the summary
page says I've only accessed it one time. Any comments or
suggestions to help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,
Hello! It's me, Carol Paquette (cjp717). I finally got my
Captivate to work correctly with my Learn.com LMS! As it turns out,
because we have SSL encryption on our LMS, they had to unsecure the
page that launched Captivate in our LMS registry settings. I am
packaging for SCORM 2004 - Flash 8. Yes, recording is now working
like a charm but only the last quiz score is saved.
I looked for the resume option in Captivate but can't locate
it. I can tell you this - the user always starts at the beginning
of the tutorial.
I also ran several reports from my LMS hoping that I could
generate records from all the session taken but the LMS must be
keeping just one user record and always rewriting the latest score
in the score field.
