Hi,
I want to make an end of a lesson quiz, which asks the student to drag and drop given items into one of the 2 drop targets. So some items will belong to the drop target A and some belong to drop target BI. I don't really need to score my quiz and I set it to provide immediate feedback to the learner by have the object return to starting point if dropped outside the correct target. my question is how can I also add a sound to each of the actions - say when the user drops an object correctly, the "ding.mp3" will play, and when the user drops an object incorrectly, the "boi.mp3" will play.
I can't seem to find way to have the sound work the way I want. anyone could guide me to the right direction please? Thank you !

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, N.!
You could definitely do something like this, but suggestions may be limited by what type of quiz you're using.
It sounds like you're using Drag-and-Drop, but are you building the quiz using a freeform you built, or are you using the default Matching Drag-and-Drop template quiz?
Also, if you have a .STORY file with the sounds you'd like to use, you're welcome to post it here. I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can give some suggestions on getting this set up for you.
Thanks and welcome again!

Hi N.
Sounds (pardon the pun) like you want to do something like this. You simply insert the appropriate sound file into the Correct or Incorrect layer.

Russ, thank you. that's exactly what I need. I tried something with the correct and incorrect layer, but it didn't seem to show the effects.
- is it possible that you show me the trigger control panel, so I can learn from that please? Or maybe just a screenshot of the program so I have some idea. Sorry i'm rather new with this app and still try to familiarize myself with all the features.
- one more question, it seems you use the graded quiz form. Is it possible to do this with the "free form" quiz type?
thanks a million!

Glad to hear it, Nai :) Good luck with the project!
Thanks for sharing this example, Russ!
Nai,
Here is a little more sophisticated version that I did (with a lot of help from this community) about a year ago. Check out this thread for how it was done plus the source code. This version was a "free form" so it is possible.
Best of success with your project.

UPDATE
I just installed the StoryLIne 3 update. When I opened up the StoryLine Cancer Symptoms game mentioned above, the audio feedback to the drag and drop was no longer working correctly. The sound worked for the first correct and incorrect answer, but was silent after that. I had simply INSERTED the sounds from the files into the Correct and Incorrect layers. This method worked fine before, but not after Update 3.
After much trial and error, I discovered that now you need to add a trigger to the Correct and Incorrect slide layers. The trigger says something like - " Play Media 'Sound 1' when Timeline starts". Where it says "Sound 1" you either record the sound or import it from a file.
Not sure why the change, but hopefully this will save those wanting audio feedback to their drag and drop quizzes some time and aggravation.

Hi All,

Russ, out of curiosity, I just opened a D&D and inserted a sound into the Try Again and Correct layers without a trigger and the sound in both layer played automatically when Submit is pressed. Perhaps it's because it's a simple drag and drop and there's something more going on with your .story file, but thought I'd at least mention it.
