Hotspot Interaction: either (not both) is correct
Nov 13, 2013
I am attempting to build a simulation of a meter which has 5 buttons using the Hot Spot interaction type. The correct answer for this question would be to click EITHER Hot Spot 1 or Hot Spot 5. Hot Spots 2, 3, and 4 would always be incorrect answers. Clicking Hot Spot 1 AND Hot Spot 5 would not happen in real life, so setting that as the correct response would be wrong.
"Pick One" allows for only a single correct answer, so that would not work. Similarly, "Pick Many," while allowing for multiple answers, insists that ALL of the correct answers be selected. What I need is a "Pick One" interaction that is flexible enough to allow for more than one correct answer, but only allows for one of the answers to be chosen.

HI Joseph,
Please see the attached. I think I've set it up in the way that meets your needs.
I can provide more details ... so please shout out with questions.
Briefly:
I used transparent ovals as the "hot spots" instead of actual hot spots, since the former allows a selected state. In the story, these are ovals 6-10 (oval 1-5 are the "buttons" on the meter.
This is a Pick One question with 2 shapes offstage. Triggers are set up so
This brings the Learner to the Correct layer when Learner clicks submit
This brings the Learner to the Incorrect layer when Learner clicks submit
I've set the transparent shapes up so the outline turns green when a Learner selects one of these.
Again, shout out with any questions.
Hi Joseph! Looks like Becky is taking care of you here
Thanks Becky!
Rebecca,
What you posted was really close. I made a few modifications to it, to address the issue of being able to select more than one button (since the real meter would only allow the selection of a single button as the response).
I added feedback text to ID the button selected when it is clicked. In the Correct feedback. I let the user know which button he/she had selected and the fact that the other (unselected but correct) button would also be a correct choice.
Hi Joseph,
Re: to address the issue of being able to select more than one button (since the real meter would only allow the selection of a single button as the response).
Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you COULD select more than one, but only one or the other, not both, would be considered a correct answer.
In any case, I'm glad this got you started. Good luck with your project!
Thanks for the update Joseph
