I am trying to create an exam that provides no feedback but allows the user to go back and change answers before submitting. I am able to go back but not able to change my answers. Is there capability for this? Thanks. d
Thanks Peter! That's a definite solution but adds a level of comprehension complexity that could confuse some of my target users (we design for public consumption). Sites like Classmarker.com have more elegant solutions. I wonder about quizmaker. Would it help to use this software and import or is the capability the same as storyline? Thanks again for your help. d
The behavior would be the same for Quizmaker, I believe.
Can you tell me a little more about the elegant solutions that Classmaker.com offers? Maybe the creative members of the community can come up something similar...
Sure. They allow for a single submit button but provide a universal settings that gives the user certain permissions like the ability to go back and change answers before the end of the time limit/ last question submitted. As the user takes the quiz they can pull up an image of questions already answered. This is extremely helpful when the stakes are high as in a certification exam and mimics some of the benefits of pencil and paper. d
The tricky part would be showing a visual cue as to which questions were not answered, but if you were to break the test up into smaller sections, that might not be such a time concern.

Hey Deirdre!
You should be able to accomplish that by changing your slides to Submit all at once.
Here's how.

Thanks, D
We can get one step closer by confirming that users are ready to submit their answers, and including a trigger that would take them back to the beginning of the quiz.

I'll keep brainstorming :)
