Reporting text in shape button on custom question slide

I'm creating a quiz of sorts where the user will first see a video of someone asking a question.

The following slide will then display two shapes with the answers in. When a user selects one of the answers they'll move to a different slide and down a different branch. There won't be any success/fail messages that pop up.


If I set the shapes to buttons and check that they report to a quiz then i can keep track of which buttons the user selects. But the important information i want to be able to pull from the LMS is the text contained in the shape.

I tested the reporting and the only information you get is a 'correct' and then the interaction ID which is a 4 digit number.

Other than editing the interaction ID to contain the text that will be displayed within the shapes is there any other way for the LMS to report the text within the shape of the button the user clicks on?

I know I could always just use a bog standard multiple choice question, but doing with shapes as buttons allows me to trigger advanced/shared actions as well as allowing the user to progress to the next slide.

The main reporting is to be able to view which reponses the learner clicked on in the project as opposed to an overrall pass/fail or score.

It depends on the LMS as well: can it capture user variables? In that case you could store the text selected in a user variable, with another shared/advanced action.

I really don't know whether it can store user variables or not. I tested it by changing the interaction text to match was what contained in each shape. In the LMS it then reported which shapes had been clicked and under the 'interaction' column showed what was contained in the text.
