Freeform feedback options > 4

Hi Kai

i can't see why this is different to Correct, incorrect or Try again.

the incorrect uh oh - is your try again layer

incorrect whether it's b c or d all get the same response

What am I missing?

Hey Kai!

In addition to Wendy's answer, I hope the attached file helps you to better understand what Wendy has explained.

Regards.

Wendy...I guess I should have explained that they don't have the same response. Hence the dilemma. And yes, It would be pretty straightforward if they were similar. Sorry, wrote this late last night.

Hey Ali, thanks. I  forgot to mention for each choice there is a different feedback. Mine is setup just like yours, but now I am stuck with the different feedback for the incorrect options.

Update: I've made progress. I discovered that you can provide feedback by choice. I added it for each choice, but now the "Try again" option isn't available, unless I score per choice. This is great because it allows me to add the # of attempts. Still doesn't solve my issue with when they make the wrong choice  the 1st time, I'd like the  "try again feedback" provided. When they choose again, the incorrect feedback is provided and they move on to the next question. This has to go for all of the incorrect choices. Does this make sense?

So the only way I can think to solve this is have variables controlling what shows on your incorrect feedback layer.

Firstly you need a trigger that adds 1 to a variable [ABC] each time the layer is viewed.

Then have 2-3 variants of the content hidden on the layer with sets of triggers to "show" them when ABC = 1 or ABC = 2 or ABC = 3.

This should solve your problem.

Tim out.

Thanks Tim. Nice said, but a little vague as to how I ma implement it myself. Could you mock something up of perhaps?

Still not clear Kai, anyhow, I hope the attached file helps. It gives different feedback for specific selection.

After trying this sound logic in Storyline itself for some reason it defaults to the standard feedback template even when its content has been replaced. So although I had it working for one attempt thereafter it just wont support this kind of conditional feedback. 

Unless a staff member can elaborate I dont know why my setup breaks the storyline custom feedback. Logically it should all work fine. Sorry Kai, if I get it working I will get in touch... might be a bug in SL2...

Hi Kai

see if this is what you mean

Hi Kai, 

So after a sleep I figured out why my design wasnt working but I also found a simpler way for you to execute this multiple feedback approach.

Essentially, what I missed is that SL uses the Try Again layer when you answer wrong, not the Incorrect layer so you could follow the previous logic on this layer and it would work.

However...

I have simplified it in the file I have attached. We start the same have a trigger to add 1 to a variable each time Try Again is viewed. Then create duplicate layers of Try Again with varying feedback messages.

Back to the Try again layer and create triggers that follow this logic: show layer 'Try Again2' on timeline start if Variable X = 2  ;  show layer 'Try Again3' on timeline start if Variable X = 3 .

This way the first time they will see the original try again then subsequent visits will show 2, 3, 4 etc depending on how many attempts you give them.

On the final Try again you could just move on to the next question however if you need to track the question you may want to redirect it to show Incorrect layer so it registers as wrong. 

@Wendy, @Tim, @Ali - Thanks a bunch! I I really appreciate the hands on. I will look through these solutions and  let you know how it goes!

Cheers,

Kai

Thanks for the update Kai! Good luck :)

An easy technique it to create unique "incorrect" layers; one for each choice.  On each incorrect layer, have a button that simply hides the layer.  Then put a trigger for each choice that goes to its matching layer.  See attachment for example. 

Thanks for sharing M! 

Thanks all! This workout great. 

Glad that this was able to assist you Kai and thanks for popping back in with an update :)
