Branching not working in Quizmaker '13

Hello Kendra,

It may be easier to troubleshoot if you can share your quiz file here. you can use the add attachment button.

Suggestion: Clear out all old version of your quizzes and then re-publish
it under a new name. Re-publishing over an existing version of the quiz
could be causing your problems with branching.

Thank you, I will try that, although I just created the quiz this morning and it hasn't worked from the get-go.

I also just realized (as I was typing this), that I wasn't publishing to my local drive, but rather to a network drive. Could that be causing the problem? I will take your suggestion as well as publish locally and post a follow-up tomorrow.

Hi Kendra,

It is possible that publishing to a network drive could be causing the issue, however it sounds like there may be something else going on. I am a bit confused about how you have created your branching, because it seems like you have created hyperlinks AND edited the branching options on the feedback layers. Are you able to share your file? That would be the easiest way for us to help you find a solution.

Here is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do (attached). My final will have five images with corresponding text boxes and will look prettier, but this is the concept.

I initially wanted to do this using rollovers in Articulate Presenter, but I couldn't get that to work properly. Then I watched the Quizmaker course on lynda.com, this approach seemed easier.

Hello Kendra,

I did test your file, and it does seem to be working properly. When you select text box 1 and hit submit, the A slide appears. If you Select text box 2, the B slide appears. Is there something different that you wanted to happen with this?

Kendra,

In the issue that you want to achieve this result without having to click on the Submit button?

Emily and Allison, Thanks for testing that for me. The way I want it to work is to seamlessly hyperlink to the positive statement slide when the negative statement (or image) is clicked, WITHOUT hitting the Submit button. (In fact, I don't want a Submit button at all, so Quizmaker is probably not the way to go.) I'd like the transition to be seamless, without any action from the learner other than clicking the negative statement. Ultimately, when this works the way I envision, the learner can click on either the image or the text to get to the positive statement.

I'm still confused about how the instructor made this set-up seam so easy when I watched the Lynda video course. In the video, clicking on an image automatically and seamlessly jumped to another slide, without having to click a button or perform any other action. 

Can you send us a link to the video that you watched? That way we can take a look.

Sure: http://www.lynda.com/Education-training-tutorials/1792-0.html?category=quizmaker_2118

Specifically, part 5: Quizmaker: Building a branching scenario.

Kendra,

I think that might be the wrong course.  Are you referencing the Advanced Studio Techniques course? http://www.lynda.com/Articulate-Studio-tutorials/Inserting-content-branching/173886/191421-4.html?autoplay=true

If so, the author does click the submit button.

Mike, That is the course I was referencing (Part 5, but the 3rd part of that [inserting content and branching]). I took another look ... and I must have blinked the first five times at the point he clicks the Submit button. My apologies to everyone for ranting on about this.

I really don't want them to click a button, but it's moot now anyway, because I figured it out in PowerPoint and it's working tolerably.

The moral of the story for me is: Beware of what seems so simple! 

Thanks for the update Kendra,

Glad you got this to work in Powerpoint! I had to watch the end a few times too, because the submit is clicked right before it ends, but yes the submit button is needed for Quizmaker slides.
