Quiz Answer, Question ID, and User ID to server
How do I obtain the survey answers that were submitted by the user (NOT the total points, or total right, I do not need aggregate information) and store them to a database on a server?
Searching through the blog answers I don’t see that Adobe Captivate is exposing the question details. Does Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer show the detail user’s answer along with the Question ID and User ID? Can I get this information using xAPI or SCORM? If so, how? What affordable LMS or LRS does this is I have to use xAPI or SCORM?
How am I to get the user’s survey answer into a server database entry?
I talked to Adobe Support yesterday. They told me Javascript is an unreliable way to do this and that using the correct LMS is the way to go. Not sure if this is accurate or if they are just trying to sell me Captivate Prime. Anyone use Javascript for this use, reliably? Anyone know the least expensive LMS that will work properly for this use?
It is a lot easier with a LMS of course. However I know several JS experts who achieved the same with JS. Not sure they wanted to sell Prime, there are also free LMS’s.
Hello Pamela,
I know it’s been a couple of months since you posted this, but I just want to add this comment in case you have not yet found a free LMS. I recommend Moodle. It is free and widely used.
Moodle accepts courses in SCORM format –although Captivate does have a Moodle option in the LMS menu at the top of the Quiz section of the Project Preferences.
I’ve installed Moodle on my server, but there is a cloud option available now, I believe. There is also a test version installed at Moodle.net which users can self-register to use. More information at Moodle.org.
I think you should take a look at GrassBlade LRS. It’s way more cheaper than any other LMS or LRS, also efficient for you need.
I have been blogging a couple of times about using a scored quiz slide to simulate a survey slide, in order to be able to use the results for decisions. But that is probably not what you want?
I need fill in the blank answers also
I decided to do some of this on Microsoft Azure in ASP.NET Core instead of using an LMS or LRS. It should be super secure, fast, flexible, and is automatically movable to another geographic area if any problems crop up in my area. I just took a break to do the analysis (done), and now I’m taking a break to catch up on the programming, database, and security technologies. Just seemed like an LMS / LRS wasn’t flexible / easy and in many cases low cost enough to be worth the hassle. I also tried looking at Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, and Kartra as course platforms and none have all the capabilities that I am requiring (able to handle branching between lessons, personalization, and integrates well), although they come close. Other alternatives were too expensive (>$130/month). Seems like Azure/ASP.NET Core is the right choice as the base for my Captivate courses. Hope I’m right, we’ll see.
So you’re going to hand code a solution from scratch in C#?
