Hi there, I am working on the following project. I guess the only way would be with JS but I am open to suggestions. I checked a few discussions but cannot fix the right way.

1. I create a survey with 10 questions in Captivate

2. I would like to send all the 10 answers given in the LMS.

Would that be possible?

Thanks in advance for your ideas

Interactions are part of SCORM and get reported. I would imagine that survey questions get handled the same way as quiz questions. It's up to your LMS to implement an administrative way of seeing the information.

You should just be able to turn on Reporting and the answers will be sent.

Does the LMS not support SCORM?

    Hi and thanks for your reply,

    The LMS is SharePoint based LMS 365. It does support SCORM but not Tin Can.

    The idea is to have the following questions Survey mode. Lets say two multiple choice questions only.

    1. What do you like best? (Interaction id 8705)

    a. Cats

    b. Dogs

    c. Lions

    2. What is the colour of your car? (Interaction id 8948)

    a. Red

    b. Green

    c. Blue

    What the LMS would record is if the user has completed the survey or not. It will bring back a Completed or Not Completed value.

    I am aware that there is work to be done on the LMS side. I need to check how I can display any custom values in the LMS interface.

    But to prepare myself from the SCORM side, what is the first step I need to take?

    Thanks again

      HI,

      That is an interesting question, can you tell us what version of Captivate and computer OS you are using?

      Some screenshots might help.

      Captivate records each answer with a unique ID. I guess you want to be able to get a report indicating what questions were answered correctly or not by which user.

      The answer is in two folds:

      1- you will need to export your project in a format that support this level of detail
           look at xAPI https://www.ispringsolutions.com/articles/tin-can-api-statements-descriptions.html

          

      2- you will need to make sure your LMS can work with that file and generate the reports that you want.

      Hi Eric

      Thanks for that. I am afraid that the LMS we use does not support Tin Can. Is there another way to get that going?

      Thanks again
