I am creating an evaluation (not assessment) where in learners will be asked to select options (radio buttons) for 10 odd questions. Now in the last page, I want to capture the responses and display it to the learner. There should be an option to send this result over mail. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Are you wanting to display the answers the learner selected on a single results slide or custom slide? You may be able to do this with variables. If you can give a little more information about how you'd like to set this up, or share what you have so far, maybe we can give you some suggestions on this
As for emailing results, this is currently not feature supported by Storyline. We want every feature in our software to work well. And, unfortunately, there’s no way to email results easily, accurately, and consistently. For example, if you use Gmail or your computer’s security settings are high, you can’t email results. Also, you run the risk of learners tampering with results since they can access the email before it’s sent. Given these limitations, we decided not to include the email results feature in our products anymore.
So, I am not creating an asessment using a quiz slide. In a basic slide, i am creating some questions with choices ( i am using the radio button sets). these are not assessment questions and hence the choices are neither correct nor wrong....so based on what learner's respond, at the last page of the slide I want to display all the responses they have selected. Is it possible to display this using varibales?
You'd need to create a variable for each option, I believe. Then you can call that variable on the slide if it was selected in the previous assessment.
Are you able to share the .STORY file for your current project? Or, if you'd like, you can create another course with a similar example assessment if you need to keep the content in your original course private. Also, if you'd like to have us look at your original file and share some suggestions, you're always welcome to submit the file in a support case. Any information sent to us in a case will be kept confidential.
I won't be able to go through and set this up for all of your selections, but I have set up the file so that the system information selected by the learner will carry through to the final slide.
I did this using two different types of variables, just to give you some additional options. For the selections "Desktop" and "Laptop" I used a number variable. When the state of the check box for either of these options are selected, it will adjust the number variable I created for the options to "1". On the results slide, I added text with no text showing for the "Normal" state. I added a custom state of that text box with active text. On the results slide, I added a trigger to change the state of that text to show, if the variable for the response is equal to "1".
I used a similar method for the "Mobile Device" option, but I used a True/False variable. In this case, when the "Mobile Device" option is selected, the variable will change to "True". When the timeline starts on the results slide and that variable equals "True", it will show the "Mobile Device" text using the same triggers and states as the other options.
I hope this makes sense :) I'm attaching the modified file, so you can take a look and see if this works for you.
Thanks much Christene. It is very helpful. Btw, is there a way we can let the users print the results of last page to PDF and send it his supervisor or the other option is to email the last page to someone.
Good morning Diwakar. I hope you had a great weekend!
I'm afraid those options aren't currently supported in Storyline. We want every feature in our software to work well.
