Question

Is there a way to send a score on slide exit without using button? Is there a javascipt for it?

Hi, I'm currently on a project on which the LMS needed a score to be sent to have a bookmark on the slide (so that the user can progress on the last slide that they have accessed). the content of the e-learning module is a slide video distributed across slides. Is there a way to send the score to a LMS on slide exit using javascript? thx b4

    Why would you need a score for bookmarking? Bookmarking is set on by default for most LMSs when you have activated Reporting under Quiz Preferences. But the criterion doesn't need a score at all. Resume data will be sent to the LMS and they'll take care of the bookmarking.

    Moreover how would you create a score since you just have a passive video? Is there no possibility to have the LMS take care of accepting a video, setting up a rule that this video needs to be viewed? It is not at all a good idea to use a cptx project with a sequence of passive video slides, that is not the goal of an eLearning course.

    yes that's right, when I tested in scorm cloud it does like it should (automatically bookmarks) but somehow in the LMS that I'm currently engaging with (my client moodle based-custom LMS) it needed a score submission to register the bookmark. And also currently the LMS requires video content to be packaged in SCORM. It would be great if there is a workaround, before I resort to making a button that sends the score at the end of every slide (requires the user to click every 2-3 minutes) and to continue the video

    OK so what might be happening here is that your LMS might have been customised to work a little differently to a normal SCORM LMS.  As Lieve states, an LMS does not normally require a scored interaction just to record that a user has visited a slide and then suspended the module.  (The fact that a "gold standard LMS" like SCORM Cloud can bookmark without scores on each slide proves this.) But if your custom-modified LMS needs a score to work then your proposal to add a scored button to each slide would be one easy way to give the LMS what it wants.

     

    If you are a wizz with JavaScript then you could certainly program a JS solution to send scoring on each slide.  Alternatively, if you do NOT know JavaScript then the CpExtra HTML5 widget also has a way to manipulate score values sent to the LMS and it could be triggered via the On Slide Enter event on each slide.

    If you decide to go down that path, would suggest you get in touch with Tristan Ward the creator of the widget by logging a question on his website here: https://www.infosemantics.com.au/custom-javascript-programming/
