I have a two question survey in my course. When the user selects one answer, I want to branch them to the next slide, when they select the other answer, I want to branch them to a slide further down in the lesson. I don't want any feedback for the survey, just simply branch them to their respective slides. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks for the prompt response to my question. I had already read that tutorial, but for some reason when I try to branch according to answer it only gives me two choices.
1.Default
2.Finish Quiz
I have it set in properties so that it shows the slides I want to branch to, but when I publish the file, the branching only works for the answer that branches farther down in the lesson. Then if I retry the quiz, and select the second answer it also branches to the same slide further down in the lesson when it should go to the next slide in the lesson. This really has me frustrated since I know that there is something simple I’m not setting properly so it won’t work right.
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be very much welcome and appreciated.
Jimbo, I forgot! You don't create the new slides in PPT actually. You create new blank slides within the quiz itself. These are the slides which will display in the answer branching drop down. Try this tutorial:
This branching is still giving me fits. I have tried everything so far with no luck. I tried the blank questions in a quiz, but once they're on the blank questoin, I can only send them to the next slide. It seems like it should be simple. I'm using a one question survey with two possible responses. If they select one response, I want to branch them to the next slide which is not part of the quiz/survey. If they select the other response, I want to branch them further down in the lesson. I have the branch to selections set amd it will only branch me to the next slide no matter which answer I select. What am I doing wrong?
Jim, if you want to branch to a slide that is not part of a survey, I think you're best best is to fake it. Make the slide look exactly like the quesiton, but when they click on the answer, hyperlink directly to the slide you want.
