When building a quiz (in a SL2 scene, insert new slide, select graded question - not in quiz maker and not freeform) is there a way to change the question type without having to rebuild the slide? For example. I created a graded, multiple choice question and need to change it to a graded, multiple response question.
highlight the mc radio buttons right click and turn off button set. If this doesn't work this method won't work - if it does
add two buttons offstage : correct and incorrect - use these in form view to make the selection.
Add triggers to change state of offstage correct button to selected when user clicks submit button on condition (add in the correct responses) and then add another trigger to change state of incorrect button to selected when user clicks submit on condition the correct button is not = selected
Could this fix be done the reverse way? I have a multiple response quiz question that I want to revise to a multiple choice question. But would rather not have to rebuild the whole slide.
Select all of the checkboxes, then right-click the selection, and click Button Set. This will prevent the learner from selecting more than one right answer.
Are multiple response questions no longer an option in Storyline 360? I have followed the video above, but when I get to the point where you should click on graded questions, to add the type of question that I need (0:45 sec) I do not see the "Built In Graded Questions" options at the very top. I only show a very limited number of templates based on my template style.
A search of the internet in general, you tube or Articulate has not yet shown me anything that matches what I have to work with. Thanks!
Video at :36 - "That template and all its formatting is now part of my slide master sets" - Incorrect. It is nowhere to be found. Vigor Multiple choice is not a part of the slide master.
That is hardly the same template, but it's more workable. MC 3 includes copying over a band of color, changing text, adding icons... now that you've pointed it out, I've been able to make it work, but it is not recognizable as the same layout.
That is Vigor template I'm not sure what you mean? If you are expecting to see the images and radio buttons etc that's not going to happen, the master has placeholders and text styles.
If it helps, what I do is download the template into the file, use one of the slides as it appears in the story file then duplicate it and change the contents.
Thank you so much! Walking through it with you allowed me to figure out where I went wrong. My problem had been that I was not getting (seeing) the "Build in Graded Questions". I could only see slides for the themes in use by my project. I did not realize I could (and should) unhighlight them so that I could see EVERYTHING. Yes, this is my very first project and I am still trying to figure it all out.
Am I missing something here? Coming from both the Lectora and Camtasia worlds, I might* be really disappointed to learn just how tedious it seems to change from one question format to another.
For my example, I have a question that is Multiple Response, and I wish to change it to Multiple Choice. This should be a very trivial change, but I still don't know how it's done.
With respect to Alyssa Gomez' gif tutorial, I don't understand. Multiple Choice bullets should/must be circles, not squares. Your demonstration may restrict other selections but it's potentially confusing to the learner who expect to see a different bullet.
In another thread, I was told that I can convert a Multiple x question to True/False by removing all but two selections, unfortunately, that doesn't work.
:(
* "might" meaning that I might not know enough. I am still at a beginner level with Storyline 3. Forgive me for my stupidity. :)
radio buttons indicate to a user one selection from multiple options
checkboxes indicate to a user more than one selection from multiple options
Button sets are applied to True False and Multiple Choice question types to restrict the user to select only one option.
Yes you can change the MR to TF question type but you would need to select both options >right click and select button set to restrict the selection to one...but again the checkboxes are a visual indicator of more than one response is accepted - Alyssa was pointing out the industry standard and by changing it may confuse a user.
> radio buttons indicate to a user one selection from multiple options
> checkboxes indicate to a user more than one selection from multiple options
Sorry about my inarticulate post. I'm not sure where my brain was when I wrote, "should/must be circles, not squares."
But your response was exactly what I meant.
Alyssa Gomez' gif tutorial seems to demonstrate converting a Multiple Response question into a Multiple Choice question, but the checkboxes remain, rather than changing over to the correct radio buttons, as expected with a Multiple choice question ("one selection from multiple options").
I just received a request to modify a few Multiple Choice questions to a Multiple Response questions. The only change was the addition of one more question option.
Sure, it's easy enough to set Button Set to none - to allow more than one selection, but the selection buttons remain incorrectly and confusingly as Radio buttons. Is there an easy way to change the buttons to checkboxes?
I realize that Storyline 3 is probably an end of life product, but I surprised that this hasn't been a bigger issue with eLearning authors. It really should be trivial to convert the question format.
WHOA. And also seems like the any way you try to Insert Slides does give you the visual screen and text underneath of "Built-In Graded Questions" and Built-in Survey questions ? I can't just add a MULTIPLE RESPONSE question type, and then add a layout template? Heck I don't care if I can't do a layout template, at this point I'm just trying to make a multiple RESPONSE question !
Oh. So I think because I had previously used the Content Library, and had the Theme set to LIGHT, the next time I SLIDES --> Graded Question it kept the "Light" theme and the "Built In Graded Questions" did not show up.
SO if you are finding yourself here wondering up changing Multiple Choices to Multiple Responses, I don't think you can that.
BUT, what you can do is Slides (tab) --> "Graded Question" AND make sure your template filters (down along the shaded left side) are all DEselected. Then the Built In Graded Questions (True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, Fill-in-the-blank, etc etc) will be at the very top !
I hope this saves someone some time down the road.
I've built 5 multiple response questions - each one on new slide. What I need to do is make sure that each response is checked on every slide before the 'Correct' pop appears when a student submits. Currently it works individually for each slide. Is there a way of doing this?

Hi Lynn
try this
highlight the mc radio buttons right click and turn off button set. If this doesn't work this method won't work - if it does
add two buttons offstage : correct and incorrect - use these in form view to make the selection.
Add triggers to change state of offstage correct button to selected when user clicks submit button on condition (add in the correct responses) and then add another trigger to change state of incorrect button to selected when user clicks submit on condition the correct button is not = selected

You bet, Niomi!
Select all of the checkboxes, then right-click the selection, and click Button Set. This will prevent the learner from selecting more than one right answer.
Very cool.
Thank you
Hey, I am trying to add a Multiple Response question using Storyline 360, but I see template options only for Multiple Choice questions.
How can I apply a desired template to a Multiple Response question slide?
Hi Shruti,
Check out this helpful video tutorial from my teammate, Crystal! In that video, she covers exactly what you're looking to do.
Let me know if that helps!

Hi Evelyn!
I'm happy to help! I wonder if you are in a different tab. I'll walk you through the process here!
You'll want to make sure that you're in Slide View when making those changes.

Hi Aiden
I've just downloaded the three MC Template slides from the Content Library and all three slide masters are available...see Peek video
Is this not what you are seeing in your Slide Master?
That is hardly the same template, but it's more workable. MC 3 includes copying over a band of color, changing text, adding icons... now that you've pointed it out, I've been able to make it work, but it is not recognizable as the same layout.
For those with the same problem:
1) choose the question format that you want
2) in a new slide, choose the question type that you want
3) apply the layout (see the helpful video above to find the corresponding one, it is not intuitive)
4) adjust the layout so that it looks similar to the original question format
5) copy this slide for future multiple response questions for which your theme has no set format.
This is not a simple workaround.
That is Vigor template I'm not sure what you mean? If you are expecting to see the images and radio buttons etc that's not going to happen, the master has placeholders and text styles.
If it helps, what I do is download the template into the file, use one of the slides as it appears in the story file then duplicate it and change the contents.

Hi Shawn
industry standard
radio buttons indicate to a user one selection from multiple options
checkboxes indicate to a user more than one selection from multiple options
Button sets are applied to True False and Multiple Choice question types to restrict the user to select only one option.
Yes you can change the MR to TF question type but you would need to select both options >right click and select button set to restrict the selection to one...but again the checkboxes are a visual indicator of more than one response is accepted - Alyssa was pointing out the industry standard and by changing it may confuse a user.

Hi Kate
if you can share the .story file so we can take a look at the setup someone may be able to help you with a solution.
Hi Wendy
I hope this is what you meant by sharing.
Kind regards
