Question Bank Resetting itself on return

Hi,
We are using question bank questions as our end assessment but when I come to SCORM the course as SCORM 1.2 (normal publishing option not using the advanced ones).
When i pass the end questions, close the course and then reenter, all my answers have been reset despite not resetting anything and my course still stays as passed.

Is there a setting that I should be using to avoid the answers being reset when a user returns back to the course?

Thanks

Hi, does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Would prefer it didn’t work like this also. If I remember correctly, I think that questions drawn from a question bank refresh every time the course is loaded.

If it works with the design of the course, you may want to use some logic to hide all the questions (e.g. when the assessment is completed) or navigate to a different page so it’s not so obvious this is happening when bookmarking takes someone back.

All much more tricky if the question bank questions are spread through the course.

Yeah i feel that it shouldnt work like this. As with SCORM the data is held in the suspend data which is recorded from the course itself so it should keep hold of any answers already given.

Only concern about using logic to hide anything is, as far as i was aware logic doesnt work correctly in SCORM 1.2 and it would need to be SCORM 2004 to hold the logic data.

Feel this is a bit of a downfall somewhere and I have tried every setting in the publish options in Evolve

That’s not quite the case. Logic only works fully between sessions in SCORM if you either:

  • Use the Local Storage extension
  • Enable Advanced Tracking

The reason we recommend using Advanced Tracking with SCORM 2004 is that it can greatly increase the amount of data that’s written to the SCORM suspend data - which is generally unlikely to exceed the amount of storage available in SCORM 2004 but might do so for the much smaller amount of storage that’s availabled in SCORM 1.2

So if your course isn’t huge you may well find it works fine in SCORM 1.2 with Advanced Tracking enabled. Best option is just to give it a try on SCORM Cloud and see.

I agree. But unfortunately any solution that could resolve this in SCORM courses would still require the use of either Advanced Tracking or Local Storage.

As @Ruppers points out the best solution is probably to get all the questions grouped in one or two articles then hide those using Logic once the assessment is completed.

If you enable the Local Storage extension I think that should handle it. As it stores the additional tracking data in the learner’s browser it only works if the learner is using the same computer/device & browser each time - but that generally is the case for most learners.
