Forms in Storyline

Sep 26, 2017

Hi All,

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find a definite answer. My scenario is:

  • Students fill out form
  • LMS is notified that the form is complete

Sounds easy until I need the forms to be accessed by the trainer to ensure form as been filled out correctly. 

Another issue is there are multiple institutions using the LMS. Creating multiple google docs forms isn't efficient.

In summary I'd like some way for students to enter information in to a form type template and the trainer be able to review their answers.

Any ideas would be great,

TIA

Thank you Matthew. Can I please confirm a couple of things. (I'm new to this so please forgive me). Can the survey questions be text entry? In order for quiz data to be sent to the LMS does it have to have a results page at the end? And could you specifically tell me which of your demo's guides me to multiple questions on one page which will talk to the LMS. Thanks

Hi Matthew, are you able to help me with another issue? The user has to select either yes or no for each question. There isn't a correct answer. Once yes or no has been selected for each question the complete button variable will be changed to selected, therefore, activating the correct answer (which is set in the form view in the pick one freeform). (story file is attached) Thanks in advance.

Hello Farai!

I took a look at your file to see if I could help you out :)

Here's what I did:

  • Set the yes/no buttons for each question as a button set so that you can only choose one or the other.
  • Add variables for each question that would be adjusted once a selection is made
  • Add a trigger to adjust the button for the correct entry to selected once all the variables were adjusted, meaning all the questions had been answered.

Hope that makes sense. Take a look at your updated file :)

Hi Leslie, I hope you don't mind me asking again but I've tried using your variables with a similar question here except this time there are correct answers and I cant seem to make both methods work together. I've attached the file and have the currently set it to a pick many however both true and false can be selected and I'd prefer if they couldn't be. The answers are as follows 1.F 2.F 3.T 4.T 5.T 6.F. Thank you ever so much for your help. Soo much still to learn and I appreciate it.

Hi Farai - 

No problem.

The first thing I noticed is that you did not set up the button sets so that you could only choose 1 per question. I then realized I didn't share any instructions, so check out this video here.

Then I noticed that one of the options was selected incorrectly:

When I updated those things, it seems to be working perfectly :)

Your updated file is attached as well. Hope that helps :)

I think you're doing great Farai, you just had a scenario a bit more out of the norm. One question per slide is a more typical set-up :) So, you're doing some advanced work.
