slide views only to be reported, but grade is reporting to lms as 0 instead of n/a

Report · May 15, 2012

My client has a number of quiz questions throughout their course. They asked that the quiz be set up to allow infinite attempts until the learner gets the answer right, and that there are no points or grade associated with the quiz. I've set up each question as a quiz question, but set the grade to be 0. I did it as a quiz question as there are matching type questions, multiple choice, etc. and I found it valuable to have the structure in place to add in the content. The reporting preferences are set up as to report back slide views only, but when this file communicates with the LMS, it is reporting back a pass/complete but giving a grade of 0. I'd like it to show up as n/a under the grade rather than 0.

Also, this course isn't booking marking and learners aren't happy because when they go back in their answers aren't saving. As well, the client wanted backward movement to be allowed but when the learner clicks the back button to go back through the slides, it automatically resets the question slides and they have to re-answer them to continue. Is there a way to change a setting so that the answers will stay in place?

And my last question (promise, sorry for so many) under the quiz settings and then required there are 4 options. I'm just wondering if anyone can explain these 4 options and what each do, so that I can make sure I'm selecting the best one. Up until now it's been a trial/error type of thing, but it would be great if anyone can share some additional info.

Hello Roby,

This is in response to your first question only.

Instead on reporting a n/a score, there is a workaround suggested somewhere on the forums wherein you can choose not to report any score. Meaning no value will be submitted. You can check it from here. Just make sure that after you published your project, open and edit imsmanifest.xml and look for the following lines : <adlcp:masteryscore>0</adlcp:masteryscore> then simply remove the value(0) in between. Through this no value shall be reported in your LMS. I have successfully applied this on our projects, both from Captivate 4 and 5.5.

Goodluck.

-Miguel

Thanks so much! I'm the only one working in Captivate, and so I can't even tell you how helpful it is to have replies and people that understand what I'm asking.

I looked into the manifest file, but I couldn't seem to find the masteryscore text. Here's a copy and paste of my manifest file. Am I missing something?
