Articulate Storyline: LMS Tracking and Reporting

by Kal Hadi View our profile on LinkedIn
 
When publishing to LMS from Storyline, you will need to pay close attention to the "REPORTING AND TRACKING" options available to you as part of the "Publish" settings. These options could impact whether or not your LMS can successfully and completely track the published output and report relevant data. 
 
In the Output Options area of the LMS, select the SCORM version compatible with your LMS. It's likely that your LMS supports more than one specification standard. For example, your LMS may support SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. If you have the choice between SCORM 1.2, and SCORM 2004 I recommend using SCORM 2004. If you are not sure what your LMS is capable of supporting, check with your LMS support team before publishing.

Reporting and Tracking 
 
Click the Reporting and Tracking button and you will find additional LMS settings. Storyline supports SCORM 2004 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Edition (the 4th Edition has greater support for tracking and reporting than previous editions).
 
SCORM Edition 
 
From the LMS Reporting: Report Status to LMS as area there are four choices (shown below).
 
LMS Report Status 
 
The choice you need to select here varies from one LMS to another. I suggest you run some tests to see which ones work best for your LMS.
 
Finally, it's in the Tracking area where Storyline determines what constitutes course completion and where Storyline knows where to report results. 
 
Tracking 
 
If you have a knowledge check/quiz as part of your lesson, it's likely that you want to select Track using quiz result. If you happen to have multiple result slides (perhaps pre-test, survey, and post-test result slides) it's critical that you choose the Result slide that is the aggregated results slide of other results. 
 
Don't forget to talk to your LMS support team and run some tests before publishing and sharing with your learners.
