LMS replicating answers - Cp6

Question

This is my first ever post to any forum, so my apologies in advance if I'm not doing this correctly. My company has built its own LMS, which seems to work fine if a quiz is taken only once by a learner. However, when the learner takes the same quiz more than once, the reporting page keeps replicating the answers each time the quiz is taken, rather than overwriting results. Since the Interaction variables seem consistent, I think this is a problem with the LMS reporting structure my company has set up. But I was wondering if someone else has experienced this same issue or can see what might an obvious error. Please see the attached screenshot. There should be only 7 questions in this quiz. If you look at the Variable column, you can see there are 7 quetions. However, under Question Number, the figure keeps incrementing by 1.

Even if I can't get help on this, if someone could acknowledge whether I've posted correctly here, that would be really helpful for next time. Many thanks.

There's nothing wrong with the way you've posted your question. The problem may be that since we have no idea how your home-grown LMS was programmed we have no way of knowing whether or not the designers allowed for the fact that there might be more than one attempt on the same quiz question.

The number in the Variable column shown above looks like it might be the Interaction ID in Captivate that uniquely identifies each quiz question. It looks like the Question Results report output is recording each and every attempt on the question, but perhaps no coding has been done in the LMS report to make it show only the latest attempts on the same question.

I think you need to check with your LMS developers to find out how they had intended to handle multiple attempts on the same quiz question, as well as multiple attempts on the overall quiz.
