Essay question with feedback
Jul 21, 2014

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to have learners complete an essay-style question, submit the essay, and then compare their answer with an annotated, model answer on the same slide? I’ve been playing around with slide layers to try and make this happen, but whenever I click on the ‘submit’ button it moves on to the next slide, instead of showing the layer with the annotated feedback.
Grateful
for any suggestions

Hi Ben,
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
You could certainly do something like this :) You'd want to use triggers to show the layer when the learner clicks on "Submit".
From there, you can use variables to display the learner's response and your model answer.
Now, you may already have something like this set up, but without a little more detail, I'm not sure. If you have triggers already assigned to the "Submit" button, you'll want to make sure that the trigger you want to fire first is on top. If you still have the trigger tied to jump to the next slide, in addition to a layer trigger, you'll want to either add a condition or instead, have a custom button trigger from the feedback layer.
If you have trouble with this, or any questions, please let us know!
