Hi William,
If you are launching from an LMS, I'd think the LMS would be the best bet for triggering an email. As that other discussion notes, the method of having Javascript create an email message could be fraught, unless you are certain that the learner has a valid email account and they are logged in on a machine where they use their email.
Have you considered just having them click a link to launch the survey immediately after having completed the test?
Hi David, thanks for your response.
I thought about using the LMS to trigger an announcement or message to trigger the survey, but it's not really doable (no inbuilt functionality). The trigger would be either when the classroom course offering is closed (which is done in the LMS), or when the student completes the classroom course test (which is done online, in Storyline). Prerequisites for attending the classroom course is a laptop, and having done all of the course prerequisites in the LMS, so there is no question that the student will have a computer with a working email client.
Having the survey done immediately after the test is, of course, a possibility. However, the reality is that the test is the last thing that is done before everyone packs up their belongings to go back home. Most people are more interested in getting out of the room than anything else, let alone a survey... It would also be good to give them a rest so they can reflect a little on the experience of the week-long course, before asking for their feedback. At least that's my opinion...
