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!

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/
Hope this helps someone

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?

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?

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

How to send quiz results to a web page?

Okay, this should have taken 2 minutes, not 2 hours. Very frustrating. Here is the situation:
* Downloaded Captivate 5 Trial Version
* Created based quiz (which took forever to figure out how to set the correct answers -- HORRIBLE user interface for setup, but that is another issue)
* I want the results sent to a web page. I will code the web page & database calls, etc. to handle the information (I am a web developer). Just need the information sent somewhere!
Several big issues here:
1. When setting up a URL for the "Pass or Fail", nothing happens. User not taken anywhere. No "Post Results" button shown. The Captivate file just ends and that's it. ??
2. Finally figured out that I needed the "Internal Server" option chosen to have a Post Results button shown. Okay.
So when I click Post Results (after answering the 5 questions correctly), I am shown a login box. Why? What is this for? This is not needed. I am going to an INTERNAL SERVER. It is none of Adobe's business what this person's name/email is. What gives? Okay... anyways, I enter my own Adobe login information. It then says "Connecting..." then I get a Status Message that says "Unknown Error". Keep in mind this will be used by a general audience, of which approximately 99.9% will not have an Adobe ID, nor should they need one.
How I can easily have the Captivate file redirect the user to pages like this: Confirm.aspx?pass=yes or Confirm.aspx?pass=no.
I don't need anything fancy. But I do need something that works. This is terribly frustrating and I'm about to say it just doesn't work. Please tell me I am wrong.
Thank for your time and for reading this.

The Quiz Results slide's Continue button actions are set under Quiz Preferences > Pass or Fail > If Passing Grade etc. By default, the Continue button is set to just continue on to the next slide after the Quiz Results.
After the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide any Pass/Fail actions you've set up there will be evaluated and executed.
So if the user achieved a passing score, and you set up an action such as Go to URL in Current Window for that case, then the user should find themselves redirected to that URL. If there was a different action for Failure, and the user failed, then that should happen. But either of these will only happen after the Continue button is clicked.
I tested this by setting www.google.com as the go to URL and it worked. To see if the URL is the issue, try using another URL that you know everyone can get to. If that works, try to find out why the URL you want to use is not working. If no URL works, something else is interfering with the action.

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!

How do I only get certain questions appear in the quiz results?

I have created a course through Captivate 6, throughout the course there are questions to guage the learners attention. There is also a quiz at the end. However, captivate includes on the questions throughout the course on the quiz results which I do not want to happen.
Can anyone advise how I can only get certain questions appear on the quiz results please?

Branch aware turns off the playbar in 6 (not in 7 any more, at least not for me).
Could you explain more in detail what you want, because I don't understand it. You want the user to answer all questions, but the score should only show what? If you don't want some questions to have a score added to the Quiz total, you can indicate that in the Properties of that Question slide.
And please, tell the exact number (3 versions of 6), and also if you have to report to a LMS?

Can we remove the Continue button from Quiz Results?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page?
I have a captivate file in which there is a Thank you slide at the end after the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - The user is just finishing the quiz and closing the browser tab - which is not showing the completion status inside LMS. The user must need to view the Thank you slide - so that the LMS can respond as "Completed" status.
Now, I want to remove the Continue button on Quizzes result slide so that user doesnot need to go ahead to next slide to complete the course. And i will put the Thank You message here in Quizzes result slide only.
Can I remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page so that it can be the last slide?
Regards
Vikas Sharma

Removing the Continue button from the Quiz Results slide is NOT a good idea in my experience. Clicking the Continue button triggers functions in Captivate to terminate the quiz and commit the score to the LMS. If this button is not clicked, Captivate may not be sure the person has decided they're done with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that point. There are often other buttons on the Quiz Results slide to offer the user the option of Retaking or Reviewing the Quiz. Only the Continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz Result slide.
Like yourself, I have also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the Continue button and don't realise they need to do something extra (beyond reaching the Quiz Results slide) in order for their score to be captured. So what I usually do is rename the Continue button to something more meaningful such as: Register Your Score, or Record Quiz Results Now. Having a name like this (and making the button nice and large and bold so that it's not easy to miss) clearly tells people that they need to click this button if they want their score to be retained. It's just a simple change, but it practically eliminated all issues we had with people just closing down their browser when they saw the Quiz Results.

How do I include the quiz taker's name in the Quiz Results email?

I'm using Adobe Captivate 4. I want to include the quiz taker's name in the Quiz Results email. Is there to do this?

My experience with Captivate is minimal. Once again, the version that I am using is Captivate 4. I am not using an LMS. When someone takes a quiz and submits it, the email that I receive only contains the quiz ID and the test results themselves. I would like to be able to have the results include the user's name or at least his/her email address. Is their something that I can do with a variable to accomplish this? Or, is their some sort of third party widget available?
Thanks Gene

Quiz result not showing up in Edge

Hi there Edgers
Really hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I've used Redesigns code(Seen Below) to design a quiz in Animate.
I have two problems, when the first question is answered, it skips to the 3rd question instead of the 2nd. I am not sure why this is as I have have checked for overlapping buttons, there are none and it does not occur on any other questions, only the first. Second problem is the quiz reult is not showing up at the end, I have the "grade" and "result" divs in my timeline but when they are reached they do not change to display the quiz results.
Help would be much appeciated

                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("fail");
As a side note, this quiz appears at the end of a 8 section mulitmedia learning environment. The code obove is the only code present in the "creationcomplete" window, the rest is done in the timeline.
George

In you if statement you need to change the if statement from i=7 to i==7; when you compare you need the double equal sign.
var FinalScoreHolder = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 +q6 +q7;
          if (i==7){
                    //var FinalScoreHolder = q1 + q2 + q3;
                    sym.$("grade").html("You scored "+FinalScoreHolder+"%");
                    if (FinalScoreHolder >= 90) {
                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("pass");
                    } else {
                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("fail");

Quiz results not appearing in email body

Using Captivate 2, I set up a quiz that is supposed to send
its results to e-mail. In the Quiz Manager, on the Reporting tab, I
have the following settings:
Enable resporting for this project (checked)
LMS: email
Report Pass or Fail: report status as defined by report data
Choose report data: report quiz results and slide views
Report score to LMS as: score
Reporting Level: report interactions and the score
Then I publish my project. When I run the .htm, no e-mail is
generated. The only way I can get an email to generate at all, is
if I click on the Pass/Fail Options tab in the Quiz Manager, and
set "If passing grade:" action: send email to: (the email address).
This does generate an e-mail, but the body is blank, with no
results reported within (even though I specifiying that I want the
data in the above settings).

I'm trying to do the same thing... having set up a small
quiz, a pass mark, and asking for an email to show the score only,
nothing is generated running it locally. But after uploading to my
server and running it from there I do in fact get an email. The
data is in an attachment POSTDATA.ATT which Windows doesn't know
how to open. But if you change the extension to csv then XL opens
it fine and reports as requested. The user is identified by the
sender of the email.

Submit quiz results to one single .csv file

How can I submit quiz results (over 200 people will be taking
my captivate quiz) to a single .csv file?
Right now, the quizes are submitted to my email address and
attached to the email as a POSTDATA.ATT file. I have to manually go
into my Outlook and save attachment as "FnameLname.csv”. So
each quiz taker will have an individual .csv file! So I will have
over 100 emails and over 100 .csv files!!!!!
How can I make the quiz results submit to a single
Quiz_Results.csv file on my web server instead?

The way I would do this is to submit the scores into a
database. In between Captivate and the database you'll need
middleware (.asp, asp.net, ColdFusion, etc.). This middleware
receives your data from Captivate and processes it - submitting it
into the database. You can then write another middleware page that
produces a report (web page table, or exports .csv file) with the
data stored the database.
Another possibility is to use Captivate's built-in SCORM
functionality and submit user scores into an LMS, then run reports
and export .csv files from your LMS.
Sorry - I don't think this functionality is built into
Captivate to join multiple records into one .csv file.

Quiz Results Screen

Is there a way to modify what fields appear in the quiz result screen? I have a project built from 4 other projects. At the end of each project I have review questions. I marked these as survey because I didn't want the results reported to an LMS. I'll have questions in the end project that I'll want to count as graded. For the reviews in the individual projects I don't want the first two items since they are reporting zero. I do want them as part of the end projects quiz.Thank you,
Susan

Hello,
In the Quiz Preferences you can indicate which fields you want to show in the results slide. Here is a screenshot (for CP5 - couldn't detect which version you use).
