Thank you very much Judy!  Thank you for the detailed explanation, but also for the "For more info:" links. 

However, I am still not able to understand how I can: collect... view... save... the actual data that my users enter. 

This is a very simple example of what I mean. 

  1. I create a new Storyline project with only one slide. 
  2. On this slide, I insert two fields, Input > Data Entry > Text Entry Fields, for First Name and Last Name.
  3. I add a Button and label it "Submit." 
  4. I add a Trigger - Action: Complete Course when someone clicks the submit button.  

If I publish this project using SCORM 1.2, and upload it to my LMS... my users may be able to log in... fill in the fields... click submit... and finish the course. But... I do not know how to, collect, view, or save the data they entered in the fields. 

How can I retrieve the information my users enter into Text fields?

Storyline is set up to send specific data to the LMS. This is mostly data related to quizzes and survey questions. 

As noted above, only one text-entry field is "scored" on a quiz question. Thus, only one is submitted to the LMS. The same goes for text-entry survey questions.
