Another question for the day: in ActivePresenter, is there a place where I can get a report of all of where things are (similar to an Advanced Interaction report in Adobe Captivate for anyone familiar)? I ask because I have a big project with lots of questions with different point values, etc., and I want to get an overview of everything without manually counting up question slides and points, etc. Even just something that summarizes the total points available and number of questions would be good. I have had a look but didn’t see anything obvious. Am I missing it? Do I have to create a Report Slide to get it? This information is for me rather than for the learners…
The Report Slide in ActivePresenter is where learners review their results. The author needs to export the project to SCORM/xAPI packages and then upload them to the LMS or implement the HTTP report if they want to see the learners’ results. When using SCORM/xAPI, the author can see the total score, status completion (complete/incomplete/pass/fail), points, and the answers to each question. How this report information is displayed depends on each LMS, not on ActivePresenter.
Ok, I understand. Let me just clarify what information I need and what I need it for though, just to be sure I have all the information.
I am not looking for learner results from the LMS. For example, I have created a project here that I will upload for learners in an LMS. When I upload to the LMS, I want to write a description on the item, for example: “There are 40 questions worth a total of 65 points; you need to achieve a total grade of 80% to unlock the next item”.
Is there a way for me to look at my project and know how many questions I have and what the point total is so I can provide the learner with that information? I’m looking for something like this, which is like a general report I can find for a project in Captivate:
Is there something like this in ActivePresenter, or do I have to go through my project slide by slide and count the questions and points to collect this information to share?
Unfortunately, ActivePresenter doesn’t have this specific type of report table. However, you can use variables to achieve what you need. For example:
There are %apQuizTotalInteractions% questions worth a total of %apQuizMaxScore% points; you need to achieve a total grade of 80% to unlock the next item.
Sorry, @Hang - a little more please…sorry! Where do I put this? I just tried it on a quick blank slide at the beginning of the project and it returned 0 and 0. Is there something else I need to do to make it work? I just copied and pasted what you had there…perhaps that’s not the right approach…?
Don’t worry
These variables can be placed at the beginning of the course as a notification, as long as your course has interactions and points set up. In this case, it seems that you created a blank project, so the result returns 0.
To reference these variables, go to the Home tab, then Reference, and select your desired variable under System.
Hi @Hang - ok thanks, I will try! I didn’t put that in a blank project, though, when I tried it. I put it in a project that has about 40 interactions in it. I just put a blank slide at the beginning and copied and pasted your text in it. Let me try again and see…thanks!
