I would like to create a task where students can type in multiple answers (in Storyline 3). These are not to be marked i.e. with feedback of correct or incorrect, but a list of all the possible answers showing besides theirs when they click submit. I can see how the text extry task will work for a question with one correct answer, but is there a way for multiple correct answers?
Hi there Kerry! This is definitely possible--I put together a quick sample file to demonstrate how you can set it up.
Since you aren't worried about marking the learner's answer correct or incorrect, I would use a Survey Short Answer slide. Then, add a layer that lists all of the correct answers. Finally, add a trigger to show the correct answer when the user clicks the Submit button. You can also add a "Continue" button on that layer to allow learners to move on to the next slide.
Thank you for your reply (apologies for my late response). Do you know if it's possible to enter more than one choice? Or set a number of entries before clicking submit and seeing the list of responses?
Are you looking to delay the additional feedback shown to the user? Would you want to delay it until they get it correct or for another reason? If you can share a bit more about what you'd like to see - we can point you in the right direction!
I am trying to create something similar to what Kerry did. I also want the user to enter more than one choice. In my instance, the student will have to enter words that were seen on a screen prior. The answers they enter will not be graded, but I do want the user to be able to see the answers they submitted after clicking the submit button...hope that makes sense.
No problem and thank you for reaching out to me. The sample that you provided is exactly what I was trying to do. I sometimes forget the different ways to do things.
Absolutely, Michael. I'm glad that will help you get headed in the right direction. There are so many ways to do things in Storyline, so thanks for sharing such a good description :)
I have an additional question to a similar issue. I would like to have a list of data entry boxes (just like your favorite color example). I will be asking my learner to type what their favorite exercises they have tried (walking, biking, aerobics classes, etc.); then I would like to reference each one and ask them why they liked it.
So far, I have been able to do this all on one page. However, the additional feature I would like to add is create a "results" slide where they can print out what they have typed like I have seen for a "quiz results" slide. I can figure out how to do this if I were to make multiple slides (one for each favorite Exercise), but I would prefer to have just maybe one slide for the list of exercises and one slide for the "why"s. Is this possible?
Happy to help! It sounds like you'd like to compile all the text-entry responses into one slide at the end and be able to print them, is that correct?
You can create a blank results slide and insert variable references to all the text-entries that were in previous slides. You can then add a Print button for the learner to print their results. Take a look at the example I attached and let me know if it works for you!
This doesn't work for me. I tested it out, and the results page is blank. I typed in a test word in each of 6 text boxes. They showed up in the results slide, but clicking print gives a blank results page with just the title of the project and a table with only the column titles ("#"; "Question"; and "Student Answer". My actual text box responses were not there.

Here's a peek at what that could look like!

Hi Michael and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create as well.
Using data entry fields and variable references could work as well.
I've attached a short sample to give you an idea.

Hi Delia!
What about adding JavaScript to print the slide with the variables?
I've used Ren's story file and replaced the "Print Results" trigger with "Execute JavaScript". I'm attaching the updated file to this response.
