Help needed with scoring

Hi Daisha,

Did you mean to attach a file to this post?

Yes, my apologies; I've attached it below and also on the original post.

Thanks!

Hi Daisha,

Great! 

So, when you say "report learner's results without them having to go back manually" you mean you would like the results to self-calculate and be shown to the learner? Is that right? 

If so, I'm not sure it'll work using the Likert questions, I think you'll need to build the questions, and then add variables to do the calculating. 

If you could please describe a bit more what your intention is, I may be able to help out :) 

Hi Veronica,

Yes, I'd like for the results to self-calculate and be shown to the learner. 

I'm open to other ways of building the questions; this was just the only way I knew that would allow for multiple questions to be asked on the same screen.

Thanks in advance,

Daisha

Just curious if you've had a chance to look at any possible solutions?

Thanks,

Daisha

Hi Daisha, 

So sorry, I have this on to-do list, just haven't got to it yet. I have some time later today, so I'll have a look and post back. 

Hi Daisha,

I've put together two slides very quickly. On the first one I added 3 questions (text boxes), and 3 button sets made up of 5 radio buttons each. I created a variable named "calculation" and added triggers to add to that variable depending on which radio button the user selects for each question (I just assigned a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to the buttons, but obviously you can change those values to what you need).

The calculation happens when the user clicks NEXT and is shown on the next slide.

Could you take a look and see if that works how you want it?

Thank you so much! I should have time to look at it tomorrow and I’ll let you know if I run into any issues.

Thank you Veronica, we're getting closer.  I was able to change the triggers to include which questions the learner will need to score high on in order for them to be categorized as resisting, observing, accommodating, or embracing.  However, when I preview the slides, I'm not allowed to select more than one radio button on specific questions?  In this assessment, the learner will need to select an answer for each question.  Also, I attempted to change trigger 4 to show if the learner scores high (4s or 5s) on questions 4,5,8,11,&16 then instead of a calculation, they will see the words Embracing.  This did not work the way I intended.  I would like the result slide to show whether they are resisting, observing, accommodating, or embracing based if they rated themselves high (4s or 5s) on the questions associated with each category (I've included those questions on slide 1.  I truly appreciate all your help and I think we've almost there.  Let me know if you have any ideas.  Thanks, Daisha

Hi Daisha,

The first issue is an easy fix, sorry I should have clarified. Each set of radio buttons needs to be made into a Button Set, by right-clicking and creating a new button set. See the images attached, which show the first set of buttons is Button Set 1. the second Button Set 2 and so on. 

To do this for each set, simply Select all the buttons that form part of the set, right-click and choose New Set, and call it Button Set 3, then 4, 5 etc.

The second thing I need more time to look at, so I'll get back to you later!

Sorry, the forum only lets me add one attachment per post, here is the other

Thank you so much for help with the buttons after creating sets for each row, I was able to select a button on each row!  We're getting closer and almost there!  Thank you

Hey Daisha,

Sorry for the delay. Check out the attached file and see if that works how you want it to.

Let me know if you need any more help!

Hi Veronica,

I thought we had created a solution, but I'm still having trouble with the quiz. I'm lost and not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I tried to show a layer depending on how the learner answers the change quiz and it doesn't seem to working this way.  Can you please help?

Thanks,

Daisha

Hi Daisha,

I'll take a look later today.

Hi Daisha,

So, there's a few things to check:

1. In your variables window, check that the starting value for your T/F variables is correct. I can see that some start as True and some as False. On the question layers, you have some triggers to adjust the variable to True if certain radio buttons are selected, but some of those variables are already True, e.g. Q02 (and others). I suspect you want them all to be False at the start.

2. On the results layer, I see you first started with hidden objects, and then you changed to layers. Layers is great, but remove the objects from that base layer.

Could you check these two things and see if fixing those up makes it works the way you want? 

Get back if they don't, or they do but you still need assistance!
