Drag and drop with multiple correct drop targets and one final feedback layer.

Hello!

I need help with the storyline file I have attached, please. I have created exercise where students read a paragraph with errors, i.e. with missing apostrophes, and then need to drop an apostrophe label over the mispelled word (or grammatically incorrect). Each exercise has a number of possible drop targets. The first four are only about apostrophes, the remaining three, have various letters to be dropped over the correct targets, i.e. an 'o' dropped over 'don't' produces 'do not'. The idea is to get a layer 'Well Done!' at the end of each slide provided all the drop targets have been answered correctly. If you look to slides 20 to 26, these are the exercises. Exercise 1 seem to work correctly, but on others the 'Well Done!' message seem to appear after each correct drop target. So far the bad exercises are n. 2, 3, 4, 6(the feedback layer not showing, otherwise the targets work fine (10 in total)) and 7.

Also, you might notice that the quizzes at the beginning, if you answer them and, say, after two or three you want to navigate back, the sequence gets disrupted displaying the incorrect slides.

Your help with some instructions of what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Joe

Hi Leslie

Thank you for replying and for the correction. :) All along during my work the variables kept shouting at me but kept ignoring them. I have corrected them and they were like wonder now. 

Navigation - Sorry, I should've been clearer. By that I mean, if you progress to the 2nd multiple choice quiz (the one about Professor Brown's lecture) and answer correctly, then you submit and move to the next slide (that should be the one 'That law book is not yours to take'), and say hypothetically you browse back because you want to reflect on your other answers, as soon as you resume the forward browsing the branching seems to jump to the quiz 'The seminar is a brief overview of the children's cognitive development'. The correct branching after the quiz about the law book should be:

  1. slide Plurals;
  2. quiz computers' keyboards;
  3. quiz ladies' restroom;
  4. q. children's cognitive development;
  5. slide ownership of proper noun;
  6. q. Phyllis's party;
  7. q. Dr Edwards's;
  8. slide indicate contractions; 
  9. q. The shuttle bus;
  10. q. able to commit;
  11. q. book/reading list;
  12. slide Its and It's;
  13. q. men's changing rooms; 
  14. q. students' union building;
  15. q. raining/dog'scoat. 

Then all followed by the exercises. 

I do realise that  my slides don't stick to the ordinal sequence that Storyline assigned when I created the slides. But surely that should not matter. Is there a way the flow can be fixed without having to move around the slides? I don't want to risk disrupting all the triggers and variables and creating more work.

Many thanks

Joe

Hi Joe!

Yes, I see the behavior you are reporting. This is because the quiz goes into 'review' mode when you re-visit a slide previously answered and the submit button is no longer there (which is how you had the branching determined), and you now have a FWD button.

I would recommend that you either remove the BKW button to prevent this behavior or choose to Submit all the answers at once as this tutorial demonstrates.
