Project with selectable quiz or no quiz

Gentlefolk,

I am creating a training project with a goal of having the content viewable with a quiz for those users who need credit for the course, and the same content viewable without a quiz for those who don't need credit. The user would self-select to take the quiz or not take the quiz and see only the content.

 

Playing with cpQuizInfoAttempts will be useful for those who want to take the quiz again upon first-attempt failure.

 

But I don't know the system variable that would control the ability to turn off the reporting function. I assume there is one.... can a project default to report to the LMS but have a variable that will turn OFF that function for those who just want to take the test? I don't want people who opt to just view the content be dinged in the LMS record for a failure in training  because the user never intended to answer  questions.

 

The workflow would be:

Intro

User selects: Quiz and record or no quiz and content only

Quiz path - content displays and quiz displays and records

Content only - no quiz displays, no success or failure is recorded in the LMS but there is a record of having viewed the course.

 

Is the best way to handle this by setting up a branch? Or can a series of advanced actions take care of this quiz/content only option?

 

Many thanks!

 

Don

    You will not find a system variable which will take on/off reporting. It is a better idea to solve this with LMS features. How this needs to be done depends on the LMS.  Create two versions of the project, and link the correct version to the user's gradebook (another name is possible) depending on their status when they log in.

    You could set up a choice in the project, but that will give control to the learner: those who need the credit could choose to skip the quiz and vice versa

    <<You could set up a choice in the project, but that will give control to the learner: those who need the credit could choose to skip the quiz and vice versa>>

     

    I am developing this structure as we are discussing it. so please forgive the fractured logic at times.

     

    Ideally, my course, "Underwater Basketweaving" would have reporting on two levels:

     - Attended, complete, incomplete - course for the Underwater Basketweaving curious

     - Scored pass/fail - course for the Underwater Basketweaving professionals

     

    It appears that I can't meet these goals in one course but would need to develop two courses:

    - Underwater Basketweaving Introduction (non-professional, completion status tracked)

    - Underwater Basketweaving for Professonals (scored)

     

    I am asking too much for these two options to be available in one course: "Underwater Basketweaving". Correct?

     

    I guess there is virtue in simpicity.

     

    Thx!

    I think this is best controlled by the LMS, not within the course module.  SCORM Reporting is either ON or OFF when you publish the module from Captivate and there is no system variable to turn off reporting.  The module is published with a lot of extra files to accommodate the LMS reporting when it is turned on.

     

    Check with your LMS Administrator to see whether there is an option or setting that allows the learner to choose whether or not they are launching the module for credit or just to review the content.  Some LMSs have this feature, but not all.
