Choose 1 of 2 correct hotspots graded question

Jun 08, 2021

Hi

I have several hotspot questions where the candidate is required to identify an object. There are more than one of these objects in the image. As long as candidate picks one that will be accepted as correct.

eg please identify one pump. (There are four pumps in the image)

any ideas how I can have all four as correct but only one is required?

Hi, Sylvia,

You can do this with a Freeform Question. The trick is to have the scored correct and incorrect radio buttons off the slide. Use transparent shapes over the image to make some parts of the image selectable. Add triggers to those shapes to select the off-screen Correct or Incorrect button, based on whether the clickable shape is over a right or wrong area of the image.

The attached file has a demo.

  • I used shapes with a Selected state, because I think it's nice for the user to be able to verify what's selected before they click Submit. 
  • The last slide in the demo explains how it works.
  • The demo only allows the learner to pick one item. In other words, they can't select all of the correct items. You could allow multiple selections (by not using a button set for the transparent shapes). However, the triggers get more complicated, because you'd have to program to prevent Correct being selected when any of the wrong items is selected.  (Doable, but it'd take conditions.)
