FORCING QUIZ RETAKE

Hello all,

I'm a newbie so please be gentle!

I have customised a jeopardy style mini game (in Storyline360) and want to add a trigger to my final score slide, that forces learners to retake the quiz should they have submitted too many incorrect questions. The idea is that learners must achieve a minimum number of points to then exit the course. I want the "Exit Course" button disabled unless learners achieve the required number of points.

I've experimented with variable triggers, to no avail. 

All help and support is most welcome.

    Hi, Adie,

    Someone can always exit a course just by closing the browser window. There's no way to prevent that.

    What typically matters is if they met the requirements for successful completion. 

    Storyline provides multiple options for tracking completion:

    • User must view a certain number of slides
    • User must pass a quiz
    • User must reach a slide that has a Completion trigger. 

    Note: Tracking can only be done when a course is on a Learning Management System (LMS) or Learning Record Store (LRS). (See Wikipedia if you don't know what those are.)

    As for your question: Yes, you can control what the user can click based on the score they got in your game.  To do this, you create triggers with conditions based on the the user's score. (I assume the game is tracking the score in a variable.) For example: 

    • One trigger would disable the exit button (or a button that indicates the course is successfully completed) with the condition that the score variable is less than the passing score.  For example, this trigger might look something like this:

    • Another trigger would show a button for retaking the quiz with the condition that the score variable is less than the passing score. 
    • Another trigger would enable the exit button with the condition that the score variable is greater than or equal to the passing score.

    Note: For tracking success, the exit button should have a Completion trigger. That would look something like this: 

    Here's more info about conditions and variables: 

    By the way, I highly recommend bookmarking the User Guide. It's very handy for newbies and even old-timers:

    Good luck!
