Allow learners to revisit and re-attempt questions in quiz
Nov 15, 2016
I have a quiz with 8 questions and a result slide. I want the learners to be able to navigate back to the questions (from the menu) after finishing the quiz so that they can re-attempt specific questions.
However, after getting to the result slide, when the menu is used to navigate back to a question, the question is locked and cannot be re-attempted (even though the slide is set to 'reset to initial state' upon re-visiting).
I've discovered the only way to 'unlock' the questions in a quiz after getting to the result slide is to use a 'reset results' trigger - e.g. on a 'retry quiz' button. However this is not ideal - we want the learner to be able to revisit and re-attempt questions using the menu. Is this even possible in storyline?

Hi Karen,
Did you set the questions up to submit after each question? You could set it to submit them all at once as detailed here. If you use that, they'll all be submitted on the results slide so I'd look at adding a slide just prior asking them if they want to check any of their answers prior to submitting.
Thanks for the suggestion Ashley! Unfortunately it does't suit our purposes as we require that the questions are submitted after each question (we have correct/incorrect feedback in each). Would I be right in thinking what I am trying to achieve (using the menu to re-attempt a specific quiz question) is just not possible?
Hi Karen,
It may not be, as you'd need a way to tell the slides to reset and that would allow the user to reattempt the question.
Dear Team,
I set to Passed/Failed score option with course completion.
I want to user re- open course and it navigate to question slide attempting question without reading entire course when user failed .
It is possible .
kindly help us!!
Hello Anu,
Thanks for reaching out to let us know what you would like to add to your course.
You can enable a Retry button on your Result Slide. Check out this tutorial.
This thread seems to be 2 years old but as it has come up again in first pages, I would like to add that the answer to Karen's query is yes, it is possible to let user reattempt the questions if he navigates through the menu, by adding variable and a few triggers.
Thank You Leslie Maa'm
But couldn't resolved my query with this solution .
I want to user re-attempting Quiz on second session rather then first session of course.
Means user logged in again and attempting quiz only without learn entire course.
Regards
Anu you can achieve this by keeping the functionality to always resume and setting a trigger to adjust a variable at result slide to be true and if the variable is true then jump to a specific slide i.e. the first question of the quiz when timeline starts.
Hi Rehan, could you expand on your solution? I have run into the same issue and want a user to retry only certain questions they choose without resetting all questions. Thanks.
Hi there.
I'm trying something similar - I need users to be able to submit their answers, save them, and then be able to revisit them at any time and amend them. I need each iteration of their answers to be passed to the LMS.
It doesn't seem possible, as you have to visit the results slide in order for anything to be passed to the LMS, but as soon as you do visit the results slide, any further answers that are submitted, or any amendments to existing answers, aren't passed to the LMS. Once the results slide is visited, the quiz is essentially over and no more information can be passed to the LMS. Resetting the quiz isn't an option for me, as that resets all the answers, which is no good.
Can anyone think of another way to achieve what I'm trying? I can't think of any other method, as using a results slide is the only way I'm aware of that will get answers passed to an LMS.
Hi,
I have the same problem. When an user reaches the Result slide (last page of the course) and jump to a question page using the menu, it's impossible to answer the question again even if the option "When revisiting" is set to "Reset to initial" state.
Thanks
Hi Mat,
How many attempts are you giving your users? You can either give your users multiple attempts or set a variable where a user can return to questions if they are blank.
Let us know what you decide to do!
Hi Lauren,
I use the questions to make the learners think about a subject. I use a result page to send the answers to the LMS, but I hide the score. That's why learners need to be able to retry questions as they want.
Thanks
