Captivate 2016 Score Question

[lindak64148167]

Can Captivate 2106 just report a quiz score not determine if the score is a pass or fail?

[RodWard]

Can you be a bit more specific about your use case here?

The SCORM standard requires that Captivate report a 'Raw Score', which is basically just the number of points scored.  Whether that constitutes a Pass or Fail depends on whatever is set as the required passing score (Mastery Score) or the percentage of the maximum possible score.

So, you will find that Captivate is reporting lots of score-related data to the LMS and that is because otherwise the LMS would not know what to do.

Based on your clarification, what I want is for Captivate just report the Raw Score to our LMS Healthstream not determine if it's a pass or fail.  Is there a way to do that?

[RodWard]

I think you misunderstand how SCORM reporting work and JavaScript APIs work.  Captivate doesn't 'send' the variable values to the LMS as if they were email messages.  It just makes the values available via the JavaScript SCORM API.  The LMS is supposed to be 'listening' to the JS calls and looking for the values it wants.

Captivate already advertises the Raw Score.  It's just one of many SCORM variables that are made available to the LMS.  Whether or not the LMS is looking for that data and knows what to do with it is a different issue.

Please see attached screen shots.

So if I set the ...

1. Quiz Reporting to Slide Views 100% & the Points as the data to report &
2. Do not define the Pass/Fail Options

Should (in theory) the LMS report only the Raw Score?

[RodWard]

You cannot prevent Captivate from reporting the Raw Score.  That variable value is just one of many that Captivate's SCORM package makes available to the LMS via its JavaScript API.

If you LMS is NOT seeing the Raw Score then it would seem that the issue could be with the LMS.

I suggest you get in touch with the LMS vendor and ask to have their technical people look into this issue.
