Branching in Quizmaker - going back
Jan 29, 2012

Hi guys,
I have been able to branch forward in Quizmaker, however there is no option (that I can see) that'll allow me to branch backwards. I need to be able to go from a question (survey) back to the previous page, for users who may want to re-read the story before the actual question.
I have created a 'back' button, however I not yet coded this to go to the previous page, as it'll take quite a lot more work, and I thought i'd post up here first, in case there's a quicker way to do this!!
Thanks very much!

Hi Kirsty - you're right about Quizmaker not going backwards. You can simulate branching backwards by duplicating questions and using blank slides, but there isn't a built-in way to jump to a previous slide or quiz.
Another idea that might work for you is to include the "story" as a document (pdf, word) in the attachments tab of the player. That way the file would always be available and you wouldn't have to hand code a back button. Just an idea.
Thanks David, I've already got duplications to allow users to retry questions, which is the way my employer wants to go.
I doubt they'll want to use attachments, so i'll try the 'back' button hyperlink idea, and fingers crossed it'll work!
Cheers
