Reporting Score in Solo Learning LMS

I have read through the message thread and see that there are
other folks having difficulty getting quiz scores to report on
various LMS platforms. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get
the score to report from a Captivate3 SCORM 1.2 course to the Solo
LMS?

Ravi,
For AICC communication, Captivate communicates directly from
the SWF file to
the AICC-compliant LMS. All of the score logic is determined
in the SWF and
then communicated directly from the SWF to the LMS. Unless
you override the
Captivate tracking mechanism, you won't be able to control
the data sent
normally from Captivate to an AICC-compliant LMS. That's why
I suggested
you capture the data from Captivate using the SCORM
mechanism, since all of
the data is sent through JavaScript; and then forward that
data to your
AICC-compliant LMS using your own mechanism.
There are other ways you can capture and override the data...
- Build a server-side script that you re-direct all
AICC-communication to.
Then override the data and forward to the AICC-compliant LMS
- Build a Flash-based wrapper for Captivate files
I am sure there are more options - but maybe I'd start with
the override
using your own server-side script (or using the SCORM
mechanism to capture
the data and re-direct to your AICC-compliant LMS).
The basic steps for using a server-side script would be:
- Build an ASP or other server-side script.
- The server-side script needs to be able to perform an
HTTP-POST to the LMS
- The server-side script needs to be able to parse and
override the data as
necessary for your needs
- Build your own HTM file that captures the AICC parameters
sent to the
content and changes the AICC_URL to the ASP file you built.
It also needs
to pass the real AICC_URL as a different parameter so that
Captivate sends
data to your ASP file but would somehow know what the real
AICC URL is that
is posted to
I don't have the time to help out with this, as I have other
responsibilities.

Andrew

CP8 reports score not percentage to LMS using SCORM 2004 3rd edition

Hi,
I have 24 questions and when I answer 2 questions correctly I get a score of 20, (each question being worth 10 points), but it is possible to send to the LMS a percentage and not a total score? This LMS does not calculate but just shows what is sent which is confusing to the learner. I'm using SCORM 2004 3rd edition.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for that tip, I've double checked that and it appears to be correct. I was under the impression that the reporting section would just be used for the criteria for completion and would still report the score/percentage.
This is what my screen looks like, pretty standard I think.
Any other areas that I should doublecheck? I was thinking of making each question worth 5 points but that would require manually adjusting each course, less preferred way to fix it.
I started thinking that under Quiz Result Message I only have Correct Question and Total Questions checked off, but don't know if that would cause the percentage to not output. Unlikely I think.

Reporting scores to SCORM LMS?

I've create some quizes in captivate made them scorm compliant by doing:
Edit->Preferences->Quiz->Reporting
Then checking Quiz: Enable reporting for this project
Under Learning Management System( LMS ):
chose Standard: Scorm, Manifest Template: Default
Report Status:
Complete/Incomplete
Report to LMS as:
Score
Choose Report Data:
Quiz Results Only
Reporting Level:
Report Score
I our LMS it sends the LMSInitialize Message, but never sends a LMSSetValue when the quiz if finished.
Is there something else I need to do to a quiz in order to report the score?

Test. Shows that there is a reply. I just can't see it yet.

Captivate 3 Not Reporting Scores to TEDS LMS

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for taking a moment to read through this.
I'm trying to build a course in Cap-3, using the TEDS LMS (SCORM 1.2).
The course runs fine, but is not sending the scores to our LMS. I'm not the *most* techincal of folks, but I want to exhaust my troubleshooting first.
Here's what I've tried.
First:
Screen shot of the repeated failures (quiz is a generic 2 question quiz):
It's a little hard to see, basically it shows my three quiz results with "Failed" after each.
Each time I took the quiz, I passed with 100%. I set the pass threshold to 80.
Here are the steps I've taken so far:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/122880#122880
Attempted steps in PDF, adjusting HTML to increase SCORM API load time
Adjusted HTML to comment out one line
Added a blank button slide
http://forums.adobe.com/message/751946#751946
Attempted to change quiz information to the following:
-Complete/Incomplete
-Quiz Results Only
-Score
-Report Score (And Report Score and Interactions)
Same Forum:
Added a button on a new slide that executed LMSFinish() javascript.
All tests result in a failed result.
I know there's a lot of other technical tests I can run, but basically my only options right now are to modify things in Captivate and upload new tests to TEDS FTP.
If you feel I've exhausted all my options, I understand!
Thanks for your assistance.

I've not lookede through the previous thread, but you've done variations on the settings?
You have tried Pass/Fail instead of Complete/Incomplete? Generally, if you want a score to show, you need to use Pass/Fail. That's not always true, but a score is generally not associated with Complete/Incomplete in SCORM 1.2 (in my understanding).
Have you tried the lesson through any test suite outside the LMS itself? That'd be my next step. The ADL Test Suite is the 'offical' tool for such testing but isn't very user friendly. Otherwise I'd suggest Rustici's Test Track
http://www.scorm.com/scorm-solved/test-track/
or the Reload Editor (which I've not used and am not 100% sure is for SCORM validation)
http://www.reload.ac.uk
Run the lesson through some SCORM tester and see if the values passed are what you expect. If not, change the settings, publish, and test again. A lot more efficient, hopefully, than going through the LMS itself and allows you to possibly determine an LMS issue over a lesson issue.

Is that possible to report score from a selected set of questions in a quiz?

Hi I am new to Captivate and SCORM. I've been reading the forum discussions and Lilybirl's blog, and learned a lot in the past few days. I wish someone could help me with this too:
We hope to design a course within a single captivate project which allows the following functions:
There are several pre-tests and one post-test. The scores from each pre-tests will be used for branching purpose. See, if one takes pre-test 1 and passes, then she will go to lecture 2; otherwise goes back to lecture 1; if one takes pre-test 2 and then passes, then she will go to lecture 3; otherwise go back to lecture 2; same for pre-test 3, 4, 5, .... Now I know that I can use a customized variable to realize this part. I can create a user varaible as pretest_score, and set it as 0 at the beginning of each pre-test; let it do the math everything the learner answers a question slide. Then at the end of each pre-test, jump based on the value of the pretest_score. Then for the post-test, the pretest_score will be set as 0 again, and the culculation will start from 0. It will also generate a customized report page to report scores on each pre-test and also on the post-test.
However, we wish to be able to pass only the final score on the post-test to the LMS. Since I read that most of quiz variables are read only. Is there any way I can get around this? Is there something in the SCORM package that I can change to the variable that I created so that I can pass this variable's value to the LMS?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I do not describe it in the blog posts, but you could also set the scores of the pretest question slides to 0, and track those scores only with a user variable and advanced actions. That way the total score will have only the scores of the final test, where you attach score to those question slides. Only one annoying thing: the total number of questions will have all the questions included, same with the number used in the progress indicator. You'll have to avoid showing those numbers to the user, but if you can live with that, could be easier than to create custom question slides.

Active Learner LMS issue

Hi
Has anyone used Captivate 4 with the Active Learner LMS
(provided by RDC)?
When AICC is chosen as the LMS within Captivate and the
training module is brought into Active Learner (via the 4 course
structure files), this page keeps appearing
'https://hosted2.activelearner.com/ActiveLearner/ASP/LOAICCCommunicator.asp'
when I try to move through the module? Every slide brings up the
dialog box - I have since determined that the content of the dialog
box is fine - it just shouldn't be appearing?
This is the content:
error=0
error_text=
version=3.5
aicc_data=[Core]
Student_ID=GB88888
Student_Name=Leggett, John
Output_File=
Lesson_Location=
Credit=Credit
Lesson_Status=N
Path=
Score=
Time=00:00:04
[Core_Lesson]
[Core_Vendor]
[Student_Data]
Mastery_Score=80
Max_Time_Allowed=
Time_Limit_Action=C,N
If 'Enable Reporting for this project' is deselected in
Captivate 4 and the learning module brought back into Active
Learner. the
'https://hosted2.activelearner.com/ActiveLearner/ASP/LOAICCCommunicator.asp'
page does not appear? Mind you, I would expect this.
Has anyone come across this 'LOAICCCommunicator.asp' in other
LMS platforms before? I have tried all settings within Captivate 4.
How do I find out a list of LMS's that Captivate is
'compabible' with?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this dialog box
issue as I am pulling my hair out!!
Kind Regards
John

I had this problem if the client and the servers time were not within about a minute of each other. Do you have the mbp and the xp machine using ntp from your server?...

Captivate 4 Scores and Solo LMS

My initial attemps at publishing a Captivate 4 test module to the Solo LMS using SCORM 1.2 have been unsuccessful. Specifically, the score does NOT update when the module is complete. (In the Solo LMS the module status shows as complete but the score does not update.)
Has anyone else run into this problem? Thoughts / suggestions?

We're using Solo as well and after speaking with Solo support, at least in our case, the scores are not there because we are not using Solo's site to gernerate the quizzes and tests.
We use Capitivate and all I can get to show on Solo's site is either "Completed" "Incomplete" or "100% Completed" depending on how I set it up in Captivate, but Solo never reports the actual score (i.e. 70%, 80%, etc.). My settings in Captivate are nearly the same as in your post.

Reporting score to LMS Manually

Hello Everyone
I am working on a project where I am creating slides with variables to track
the score, attempts, correct answers, percentage score, etc instead of inbuild quiz functionality.
I didn't use quiz functionality provided by captivate as different questions are of different type with
different scores attached to them.
All is working fine but now I want to report final scores to LMS and want to know how can that
be done on the final slide. How can I post all the variable values like scores achieved, total score,
percentage score, competency status, etc to LMS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
JagVWS

By default Captivate does not provide any way to report user variable values as SCORM scores. Only interactive objects or quiz question slides can be assigned to report a score or result to the quiz. Since user variables are not interactive, you cannot assign them to report to the quiz.
There is a widget that allows you to set up user variables as slave objects and basically treat them as interactive, but it's the widget that actually reports the score to the quiz ON BEHALF of the variable.
You can find out more about it here:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/interactivemaster/help

Please note that this widget is NOT HTML5 compliant. Only HTM/SWF output is supported.

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.

Button not Reporting Score

Hi, I have an acknowledgement button in my Captivate file that is supposed to report 100 points and a passing score to the LMS, but it is not doing so. I have checked Advanced Properties under the Project tab, and this button is the only thing that is set up for reporting. My publishing settings call for data to be reported at the end of the course and points required to pass are 100 (the value of the button). Can someone take a look at the button properties and tell me if I'm missing something? Thanks for your help!

Try setting the Quiz Score to Percentage instead of Score, and set your Pass/Fail option to Percentage as well.
Then set the value of your scored button to 10 points instead of 100.
Republish to the LMS and test.
Some LMSs are a bit picky and I find Percentage is safer than trying to use Score. If your button IS the only scored object, the actual number of points doesn't have to be high.
If this still does not work, the only other thing I can think of to try is just include one quiz question (e.g. True False) and test whether your LMS requires that you must have one quiz question, not just a scored button.

Reporting user variables to an LMS

Hi All
I was wondering if Captivate 7 supports reporting custom user variables to an LMS?
I have created some interactions without using the Quiz wizard Captivate provides. The scores related to these interactions are stored in varaibles. Is there anyway to report these to an LMS? The functionality I have created would probably not be possible to do using Quizzes, so converting them them is not really and option (unless there is a hack where I can piggyback my user variables onto the Quiz reporting).
Cheers
Lewis Carey

If you are not using HTML5 you could use the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/interactive-master
On of its features is that it allows you to set up user variables as slave objects so that you can report a value to the quiz from a variable.
Trial version of the widget is available here if you want to try it out first:

Reporting Scores without Using the Built-in Quiz

Is it possible to set up a 'quiz' in captivate, without using the built-in quiz slides?
The quiz slides are quite restrictive and clumsy and I'd rather build them myself.
So, say if I had a slide that had a question on it and two answer buttons, 'true' and 'false'. Is it possible to use these buttons to execute an advanced action that assigned a score that could then be reported to the LMS?
Sorry if this is a silly question.
Best

Maybe you never found my blog? Have several articles about custom questions and reporting of those questions.
Report Custom Questions - part 1 - Captivate blog
Report Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog
You can search more, using tags. There are some limitations with custom questions: no question pools, reporting partial scores and penalties are difficult/impossible if you do not use JS. Drag&Drop is a hybrid question type that allows more customisation as well. Here are the latest articles about custom questions:

Reporting on buttons in the LMS, when there are multiple buttons on the page

I have a project, it is 2 slides in multiple languages adding up to 38 slides. The first slide appears in English . The user can click the language of their choice or click I agree (reported action to the LMS for completion). If they click I agree, no problem. They score 10 points and the requirement for completion is to score 5.
If the user clicks their language, they have the option to click I agree (reported action to the LMS) or they can go Back to English (Jump to first slide). When I add the reporting on the I Agree in the language slides. The Back to English button will only advance to next slide even though it isn't set up that way. The functionality works fine if I'm not trying to set up reporting. Any suggestions?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Not sure if I understand well, but think you are bumping into the Quiz scope... I have been trying to explain this in a blog post, with other functionalities of Question and Score slide:

How NOT to report scores

Project: Must get over 80% of quiz questions right to pass (and be marked as complete).
I'd like to NOT pass along the actual score to my LMS (I just want complete/incomplete).
Is there a fairly simple way to do this (without writing scripts etc)? Or is this a small developer project?

Hello...I'm using INquisiq and they said their fields are fixed but I could possibly get my project to just not send the scores (so it would appear as a dash).
In this project, once a user gets 80% of the quiz slides correct, they have passed (and completed...they land on a slide with no chance to go back and redo it). A surprising number get hung up on the score since its on their permanenet transcript (i.e. they pass/complete but still want to try it again for a higher score...but cant).
Additionally (a side issue), the words PASS and FAIL can get people going (esp when they bookmark during the project and they show as failed). If given the option, I'd pick complete, incomplete, not attempted as my only feedback to the user. I've set Report Status to complete/incomplete but still get pass/fail. Its SCORM 2004.

A report about reachable devices in LMS report tools

Hi all,
is possible to display a report about reachable devices in DCR database? The report about unreachable devices is only in the reports menu in LMS 4.2.4 (Reports > Inventory > Management Status >Unreachable Devices).
I tried to use the report designer, but there is no possibility to create a rule for this report.:-( Similarly I tried to create group devices, but I didn't find some criteria for this type of group. Thanks.
Roman

Hi Roman,
As per my knowledge , there is no such report available in LMS, however I would suggest you to create a POLLER for DEVICE AVAILBLITY to achive your goal.
Go to Monitor > Performance Settings > Setup > Pollers >> click Create Poller.
check the below link for more information:
