Essay Questions

I should add that I have tested my lessons on Scorm with the content publihsed using option 2 above and manage to get a status of completed  generated with a quiz reult + the student's response under the 'answered' verb.  

Hi Aaron,

It sounds like LearnDash may only allow one of those completion tracking methods - as if it works in SCORM Cloud, that's the industry standard. I'll defer to any community members who may use LearnDash to weigh in here and hopefully offer some assistance. 

Hi Ashley,

For the benefit of community knowledge I'd just like to share my findings. 

Since Articulate Storyline released V2 the Tin Can content publishes via V 1.0, not the 0.95 that it used to.

If I upload Storyline 1 content via xAPI to LearnDash and track completion based on number of slides viewed everything works fine. If I upload exactly the same content but publish it from Storyline 2, LearnDash will not allow me to 'mark lesson as complete' with the button provided in the LMS.

So far my problem is still unresolved. :( 

Hi Aaron,

Yes, Storyline 2 updated to the Tin Can 1.0 which was the newer standard at the time. Have you checked with LearnDash about their support for Tin Can 1.0 and if it'll be included in a future release? 

It seems Aaron and I have a similar requirement and I'm not seeing a clear answer to his question. We have 2 types of assessments that need to be considered: (1) Multi Choice or computer-assessed questions which articulate handles brilliantly, or (2) essay-style or free-text questions that are marked by a human assessor reading the learners responses. It's not clear that articulate quizzes. And then even if essay style questions are handled, they would be treated as an interaction in an XML file and therefore, I don't think students would be able to use rich text attributes such as fonts, bold, bullets, indentation or even line breaks. What if the student needed to attach a photo or video to prove participation in a practical task? How would the assessor be assigned and notified. We can do all of this, but had to develop it outside of SCORM or Tin Can. It would e nice if those types of assessments could be included somehow into quizzes. Is it possible now? 

Hi Bruno! You are correct, this would not be possible and you are welcome to share your thought/idea with our product development team here.

If someone needed to attach a photo or video, perhaps they could upload the content and share a link in their response. I know that is not ideally what you are looking for.

Hopefully others in the community have some ideas or suggestions to share with you as well.

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.

Yes, that does sound great Bruno. I appreciate you sharing.

Hello everyone, I need help with exporting essay type questions for annual tests into wordpress. Currently using WPCourseware which doesnt seem to work. Anybody have an idea how I can do this? The test results will be reviewed and marked which is why I need themexported once the user clicks to finish in the storyline quiz through the browser.

Hi, Ubong -- 

Thanks so much for reaching out with your question! If there is anyone in particular in the thread you would like to reach specifically, please use the 'Contact Me' link on their profile page (as they may no longer be subscribed to the thread). 

Also, you may find the information in this thread on using Wordpress plugins for Storyline to be of some assistance, particularly Brian Batt's response that shares:

Just a quick heads up that the plugin now supports Wordpress Multi-site:

Please let us know if that helps or if you still need assistance. :)
