Multiple tests on one slide?

Hello Heroes

 

I'm trying to make a slide that has multiple tests. A Multiple Choice and a Multiple Response. The Multiple Choice is on the base layer and that links to the Multiple Response which is on a second layer. True and False links the second layer with the additional question. Unknown just gives a person a submit button.

 

I've created a submit button for the second layer and removed the tests built in 'submit' button,

 

I thought I attached the submit interaction trigger onto one button with both tests, but when you preview the slide, it's only grabbing the correct or incorrect answer from the Multiple Choice test on the base layer.

 

Is there something I'm missing that allows the program to link multiple tests onto one slide? Or is this not a feature that Storyline supports?

 

Thanks for your help,

Jesse Spinella.

Hi Jesse,

 

That's a really interesting question. The default functionality doesn't support multiple quizzes the way you set up your slide. But we can achieve the desired effect using convert to freeform and hidden states.

Hi David, if you used that method would both answers be recorded onto the results slide and passed to an LMS? I'd like to do something similar. Thanks, louise

Hi Louise - Great question and the answer is yes, they would. Here's a screenshot of how it tracked in Articulate Online:

Hi Jesse - Glad that worked for you. I hadn't tried this in a while so it was fun to revisit this technique.

 

Here's a quick Screenr that shows how this example was put together:

Rather elegant solution, thank you. I was going about this all backwards.

 

Love the idea of using states on a shape to reveal a new portion of the screen.

 

Great idea.

 

Thanks!

Great video! Thank you! I have a related question though..

 

In presenter, a quizmaker quiz with multiple slides was registering as a single slide - 

It's not causing MAJOR problems, but it seems like storyline is expanding all slides from the quiz -  

It's simply a pagination issue but could save me some headache if theres a way to recombine these slides as one unit?

 

Thanks heroes!

I have a similar situation where I want the learner to complete a PickMany quiz, and then provide a short essay to justify their reasoning.  The essay portion is intended to be relatively short and will fit fine on the same slide, and also allow them to easily change their answer as they investigate their reasoning.  I want their choices and the essay to be reported to our LMS.

 

I have created a Freeform PickMany quiz and added the TextEntry as one of the choices.  However, when I complete the question and use the Print Answers feature on the results slide (to simulate sending to LMS) it does show what entries I picked, including the TextEntry, but only the name of the TextEntry is recorded, not its contents.

 

So I created a Freeform TextEntry quiz and copied the checkbox entries over.  The print view records the contents of the TextEntry but not which checkboxes they have selected.  I'm thinking that I'll need to use a trigger to write the names of all checkboxes they have selected to the contents of the TextEntry when they submit.

 

I know I could simply have separate slides for each of these but I think they'll work better together.  I'll keep working on it and let you know what I find.

You'll probably have to create a trigger and a true false variable to get the same check boxes to show selected.

 

Basically, if you create a test, each answer will have a correct or incorrect variable attached. Then, on the results slide, you'll need to trigger those states that show incorrect or correct by calling up the variables.
