Question

Captivate communication with LMS

My quiz scores are not being passed accurately to the LMS. It seems that the quiz score data is being sent after each question is answered. It takes approx 5 seconds for this process to finish, and if the student does not wait then an inaccurate score is reported. Here are details..............

After each question, the webpage says that it is communicating with the LMS, and the LMS and webpage pass data back and forth for about 5 seconds. If the user does not wait to move onto the next screen until this data transaction is complete, then it seems that the quiz data for that question is lost, resulting in an inaccurate score being reported in the LMS. The score on the results page of the Captivate quiz displays correctly, but does not match what is displayed/reported/calculated in the LMS.

Is there a setting that tells Captivate to hold all of the data until the end of the quiz and then send to LMS?

I have been fighting this issue for months so if anyone can help it would tremendously appreciated!

    Why don't you put a stop button on your pages that say, "Please wait while this score is being saved." Or whatever you want to say.

    If you have a button at the bottom of the screen (not in navigation) allowing them to move forward, have it appear after 5 seconds so that they don't have the option to continue until you know the LMS is ready.

    tsk tsk - posting the same question in two forums won't get it answered
    any quicker - it just makes respondents annoyed ;-)
    See the reply in the elearning forum.
