Interactive Questions and Answers #392: Challenge | Recap
If you're looking for a way to liven up your next lesson, try out some interactive question-and-answer activities. These activities are a great way to engage learners and get them to think critically about the content. And they're also a great way to practice working with variables.

How do Q&A interactions work?
The key is to use Storyline's text-entry fields to capture learner input and variable references to display the learner's answers. And with the new print slide trigger, learners can easily print their responses.
Comparing Learner's Answer with an Expert's Recommendation
This week's challenge is similar to the comparison challenge we hosted 100 challenges ago. In the comparison challenge, learners typed their answers in a text-entry field and could compare what they typed to an expert's recommendation. You can check out the challenge recap post to view the examples. And below is a quick tutorial on how it works.
