Another challenge with transparent QM slides

Dec 13, 2011

Is there anything you can do to either switch off or change the appearance of the "Invalid Answer" popup that appears if a learner incorrectly attempts a question?

My understanding is that the popup mimics the slides's outer skin, so it you make the latter 100% transparent, then the popup is going to appear like this.

Are there any workarounds to this? Have tried one of Brian's ideas but that doesn't apply here.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hey there Simon!

Did you have a chance to check out this thread?:

Looks like they're on the right track...

Hey Peter!

Unfortunately Jeanette's idea isn't quite going to work because, like she points out, the need to have the learner answer the question must be 'disabled' in order to replace the popup with a generic (right/wrong) feedback slide. It may look good, but it means the learner can literally skip every 'question'.

James might be onto something with his customisation, but his link seems to go to his blog and not specifically the post (or example) that illustrates what he did. Can't yet find it using Search either. Am I missing something blatantly obvious?

Thanks

EDIT: I also can't yet stop the 'Thank you' box from appearing in the survey version. Even putting a space in the text box and branching to a blank (feedback) slide doesn't prevent it appearing. Hmm.
