Draw from Question Bank - Previous button?
Jul 26, 2013

Happy Friday!! I'm hoping someone can help me - and maybe it's a really obvious thing, but I can't figure it out.
I have a 'final exam' type story that is just a welcome slide, then a series of questions randomly drawn from a question bank, then a result slide. When I publish it, there is no 'previous' button on the question slides. I would like to give learners the option to go bank and change responses if they need to. (not just 'review' once they have finished all the questions)
Thanks in advance for any help!

HI Terry,
Do you mean you'd like to add a retry button to the results slide as well as the default review button?
If so, you can do this:
If that's not what you meant, or if these directions are a bit fuzzy and you'd like some screenshots to assist, please shout out.
Hi Rebecca,
I'm actually looking for a way to add a "Previous" button on each question slide. Thanks for the response, though!

Oh! Go to your question bank. Then click the gear icon on each slide and add a checkmark for the prev button. Also, you'll need to set those slides to their initial state so that SL will allow Learners to change their answers.
Is that what you were looking for?
Thanks Rebecca!
You can also find the option to turn that on within your Question bank, in the same area. Look to the slide properties box in the bottom right hand corner, and it should look like the below.
You'll see where I highlighted the check box for the "Previous" button. Hope that helps!
Good point and faster! Tx!
Thanks Ashley and Rebecca.. that seems to be doing the trick now. I had tried that earlier, but it seemed to work inconsistently. It was probably user error, because the previous button now shows up on all my question.
I figured out what I did wrong.. I tried to do this the way Ashley described, and I selected All my questions before modifying the configuration. I expected that would change the properties for all the selected questions, but it only changed it for one.
Very confusing, I will submit this as an issue - if you can't change the properties for all the selected questions, then those properties should be disabled.

Hi Terry,
My apologies for the confusion, you may have noticed on the screen shot I have above, it's only referencing that the properties are for "Q1.1 Test Question", so that it's specific to each one, not a whole bank. I think what you're suggesting would make a great feature request though!
I will make it as a feature request, but also - if you are not able to modify all the selected questions, they should deselect when you make the change. That's a very common UI behaviour, so I would consider that a bug or at the very least, a design flaw.
Thanks,
T
