Question

Quiz Score not accurately reported to 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.

I say this because 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/calcualted 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!

More and more people are seeing this. CP3 is set to communicate with the
LMS every 8 seconds, I believe it is. If you're seeing this after each
question, that's not how I understood the communication to work in CP3.
Are you using CP2 by chance?

Either way, one way to hasten the communication is to record JUST the
scores and not the 'scores and interaction data'.

If you need the interaction data or that doesn't help, then there have
been posts from Andrew Chemey in the past where he details (I think) how
to change the JS code so as not to do it every 8 seconds but wait til
the end and send it all at once. Search the forum for posts from him and
see what you find...

I've been working with Captivate for about a year. I'm struggling with the LMS recording the student's score before they receive 100% accuracy. Then when the student reviews the course and retakes the course the past score is not updated on the LMS. Is there a way to get the quiz to only send a result if... ? or make the submit results button only activate when a 100% score is achieved?

This would be a great help to me. Thanks.
