Questions & Answers

Q: How do you collect quiz score information using xAPI in Articulate Storyline?

To collect quiz score information, you need to add custom code in the xapi statement.javascript file. This code creates an object that holds quiz score information, including minimum and maximum scores, raw score, scaled score, and success.

Q: What variables need to be set up in Articulate Storyline to track the user's score?

Two variables need to be set up: "max score" and "user score". "Max score" is a number variable that represents the maximum score achievable in the quiz, and "user score" is a number variable that represents the user's current score.

Q: How do you capture the user's response to multiple-choice questions in Articulate Storyline?

Triggers are used to capture the user's response. For each possible answer choice, a trigger is created to set a specific variable (e.g., "question 1 response") to the value of that choice when the corresponding button is clicked.

Q: How do you determine whether the user passed or failed the quiz in Articulate Storyline?

JavaScript code is used to compare the user's score variable with the maximum score variable. If the user's score is equal to the maximum score, the user passed the quiz and a pass message is displayed. If the user's score is less than the maximum score, the user failed the quiz and a fail message is displayed.
