LM-Light Standard : Creating Courses : Saving a Test Score
When a course has been completed, you have the option to pass back the score to the LMS. Note that this is not always necessary. For instance, if a course simply has an assertion question at the end (e.g. "Yes, I agree to follow this policy"), a percentage score is meaningless.
The test score can be transferred using this LM-Light call:
<?php LMsetTestScore(); ?>
The test score should be passed to the page containing the LMsetTestScore tag as a GET or POST variable.
Examples
Here is a a simple example that uses JavaScript for the test. First, here is the page that holds and grades the test:
<?php require "LM-Light.php"; ?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Mastery Test</h1>
<script language="javascript">
function getAnswer(question) {
var radio = document.forms['mtest'].elements[question];
for (var i=0; i < radio.length; i++) {
if (radio[i].checked) {
var answer = radio[i].value;
}
}
return answer;
}
function gradeTest() {
var score = 0;
if (getAnswer('answer1') == 'A') { score = score + 50; }
if (getAnswer('answer2') == 'C') { score = score + 50; }
if (score == 100) {
document.location.href = 'passed.html?LMtestScore='+score;
}
else {
document.location.href = 'failed.html?LMtestScore='+score;
}
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="gradeTest();" name="mtest">
<p>Question 1: What is the capital of France?
<blockquote>
<br><input type="radio" name="answer1" value="A"> A: Paris
<br><input type="radio" name="answer1" value="B"> B: London
<br><input type="radio" name="answer1" value="C"> C: Moscow
</blockquote>
<p>Question 2: What is the State Capital of Washington?
<blockquote>
<br><input type="radio" name="answer2" value="A"> A: Seattle
<br><input type="radio" name="answer2" value="B"> B: Spokane
<br><input type="radio" name="answer2" value="C"> C: Olympia
</blockquote>
<p><input type="submit" value="Grade Test">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now we add two pages - one for the test having been passed (passed.html) and the other for the test having been failed (failed.html). Here's 'failed.html':
<?php require "LM-Light.php"; ?>
<?php LMsetTestScore(); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Results</h1>
<p>Sorry ... you failed. Please try again.
</body>
</html>
And here's 'passed.html':
<?php require "LM-Light.php"; ?>
<?php LMsetTestScore(); ?>
<?php LMsetCourseComplete(); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Results</h1>
<p>Well done ... you passed!
</body>
</html>
