Use PreCheck scores to set Final score variables
Hello,
I have simple course with a menu, three modules, and an exit.
Each module has a three-question pre-check, the module content, and a three question post test using the same question pools. I would like successful completion of the Precheck to count as successful completion of the module AND of the Post test for the module, without having to take the post test.
My thinking is that if the Precheck results slide uses "Quiz1" and the Post test results slide uses "Quiz2" for score variables...that I could use the Success layer of the Precheck to manually set the "Quiz2.ScorePoints" variable equal to "Quiz1.ScorePoints." The trigger dialog lets me do this.
I have a final results slide to aggregate into a Quiz7 variable which draws only from the three Post Test variables -- Quiz2, Quiz4, and Quiz6. Quiz 7 is what I submit to the LMS for scoring.
The net result appears that the assignment of quiz1 value into quiz2 either does not work, or is reset to zero if I do not actually visit the post test (quiz2).
I am attaching the *.story file for closer inspection if anyone is willing.
I am continuing to read up on this. A statement from one of the postings is: "There isn't a way to modify the built-in quiz variables generated by Storyline 360." So, it looks like the premise of SETTING a built-in Quiz variable is incorrect--it just stays at zero unless the post test is taken. I will likely have to do some fancy aggregation and comparison of Precheck results and Posttest results to compute a final score.
You don't need to reset built-in variables.
Use a different Results slide for the pre-check and the final assessment.
Indicate the type of quiz in the Quiz Settings.
When you publish for the LMS, indicate that both the Pre-Check and the Final Assessment should be used for tracking.
When you do that, Storyline will submit the Pre-Check and mark the course as complete only if the user passes the Pre-Check.
If they don't pass the Pre-Check, Storyline will track completion based on the Final Assessment.
