Thanks Leslie, Understood...

As I mentioned we developed it as a separate proprietary web application, which we call a Free-text assessment, so we can use a slide developed in articulate with a link to our web app. On clicking it the student is directed to an environment where questions, answers and comments can be processed in a workflow between student and assessor using rich html editor web controls with the ability to attach documents, images and videos, The assessment has a draft and release mode enabling the student to work on the assignment until ready. Then the pre-assigned assessor is notified and can use any number of grading systems to mark the assignment and provide comments. The grades are combined with any articulate quiz to give an integrated set of results. Students can be granted multiple attempts within limited timeframes. Attachments are linked, enabling the assessor and the student to share additional content. Student and Assessor can work back and forth until the assessor determines a result (pass / fail) has been established. It would be nice if our solution could be integrated into a results page more holistically, enabling our clients to select it as a Quiz type within the Storyline development environment. At the moment they have to switch out of Articulate, into our solution, set up the two environments separately, then used a clumsy link to swtch to the Free Text option. It does work, but it could be a lot better.
