Track a learners response to one button

Can anyone help? I need to track (report to LMS) users that answer a final question and submit 'no'. It is the only question in the deck. Do I need to do it as a quiz or will interactive buttons work? What do I need to add so it reports back to LMS? 
thanks

    Thanks again, this is so helpful.

    I have made the amendments in the reporting preferences and notice that it will report as 'complete' when all slides have been viewed. Do you know if there is a way that the course can be marked as 'in progress' if they click the 'No' button and 'complete' if they click the 'Yes' button, or does it need to be quantitative with scoring as the identifier? 


    That changes the situation of course. You should have to invert the scores for the buttons in that case:

    • Give a score to the Yes button
    • Do not give a score to the No button

     

    Change the Quiz Preferences, Complete criterion and choose Quiz is Passed. Set the pass score to 100%. In that case completion will only be marked when the Yes button is clicked.

    Interactive objects like buttons can be scored. That will probably be the easiest solution. Give a different score to the two buttons (Yes, No) and set Quiz Reporting up. You'll see from the score which answer has been chosen. Of course you can also add a T/F question if you prefer.

    Thank you for this, really helpful. Quick q - does it mean that I have to create the page as a quiz page, it can't be a normal page. Quite new to Captivate so a bit of a novice. I need the buttons to look like the rest of the preceding pages so there is continuity. So it basically looks like this...

    A course that is In Progress is not yet Completed.  There aren't that many different status results for a SCORM module.  

     

    Is this module set up for SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004?  That might prove significant.

     

    In SCORM 1.2 the designers where a little short-sighted as to how Instructional Designers would want their reporting to work.  So they only had one variable that could track the result as to whether it was passed or failed or complete or incomplete.  They soon realised that there were certain situations where you would want to get pass/fail results separately reported to complete/incomplete.  

     

    When they released SCORM 2004 one of the enhancements was to use two different variables to track pass/fail and completion.  This allowed for situations where a learner reached the end of a course and had completed it, but had not successfully passed.  Alternatively, it allowed for situations where the learner had not yet reached the end of the module but had already achieved a passing score. So they had passed but not completed the course.

     

    So which of the standards is your LMS using here? 

     

    Each LMS tends to interpret the SCORM standard somewhat differently and I have encountered situations where it is simply not possible for a specific LMS to allow a course to be completed unless it was marked either passed or failed.  It may only be able to regard a module as In Progress if it believes the learner is still in the middle of making the attempt.  As I said before, in such situations, the only way to achieve a result of In Progress might simply be to deny the learner the option of reaching the very end of the module without achieving a passing score.

     


    Hi there. Once again thanks for your help, I really do appreciate it. I will just use this thread now. I have tried as you suggest (including publishing to SCORM 2004) and still it does not seem to be working. I cannot get the quiz element (only on the yes button, marked at 100 points) to report to progress, 'complete'. Here are my settings. I am sure it must be something minor I am ticking or not ticking but I have tried various options and it still does not alter the outcome. Where am I going wrong? Thanks again.
