Hi all. I have built an interaction which does everything I want. Before I start adding scoring and feedback variables/layers, I'd like to know if there's any way I can just change it to a freeform or a quiz and let Storyline do the scoring for me?
A sample of the .story file is attached, and a link to the interaction below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
these tutorials here and here may help you or if you want to upload your .story file - easier for someone to assist you if they can see the current setup
Thanks Wendy. I had already ready the tutorials and didn't see anything that did what I wanted, hence my variables version. Now I want the scoring to be done by storyline, if possible. I've attached a story file (the upload failed the first time).
Re-uploaded. There must have been archival data (deleted content) still in the file. I saved as a new file and it's much more manageable now. They should get all four questions correct. Thanks.
I haven't decided as I'm still playing with it. Let's say 1 & 2 should be TRUE and 3 & 4 false. In the final version I'll have 6 to 8 choices, so this needs to be scalable. Thanks again.
see sample file I duplicated your first slide and made it a freeform - it may work for you or may give you an idea.
It is setup as a pick one which means I have two buttons offstage (correct and incorrect) which are what drives the quiz slide.
I have created True False buttons x4 and overlaid them on top of each other so as each statement is presented and then answered those T/F buttons hide and the next set appears (seamless to the user).
Then I created triggers:
1. that selects the offstage correct button if True Button1 = selected AND True Button 2 = selected AND False Button 3 = selected AND False Button 4 = selected. This returns the correct layer when they click submit button.
2. that selects the offstage incorrect button if True Button1 not equal to selected OR True Button 2 not equal to selected OR False Button 3 not equal to selected OR False Button 4 not equal to selected. This returns the incorrect layer when they click submit button.
Thanks Wendy, sounds creative. Storyline is great for people who can adapt what is already there. I'm a bit closed minded for that unfortunately. I'll have a look and get back to you.
That should work Wendy. Thanks! I should have asked the community before spending an entire day on my attempt. I had seen the tutorials for this method, but couldn't figure out how to apply it. Thanks again!
OK, I've got this working how I want it, and now I want to give the user multiple attempts. I've tried adding triggers to the "TRY AGAIN" button to hide everything on the base layer again, but I can't get it to work properly. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I've also tried automatically navigating away from the main slide then back again on pressing the "TRY AGAIN" button, which works perfectly when the original slide is set to "Reset to initial state", but I lose the number of attempts in the "AttemptCount" built in variable.
Try creating a custom number variable (attempts) that is triggered to add +1 when the user clicks Try again button - you would set it to show the 'incorrect' layer when the variable = xx attempts and use the jump back to slide with the reset to initial state selected.
Thanks Wendy. I got it working except that with that last 'incorrect layer' trigger, I get the incorrect layer even if the response was correct! (I added the attempt count variable to the 'Submit' button).
It works! I added conditions to the incomplete layer trigger to look at both the state of the INCORRECT button (the main criteria for this pick one quiz), AND number of attempts. Once this more specific INCORRECT criteria was set, it didn't interfere with the rest of the inbuilt variables (namely, what happens when the quiz is answered correctly).

Wow - huge file Steve, can you just upload the slide you are referring to?
Do you mean you want the four T/F questions to be one score - so they have to get all four correct or are they four individual questions?

Can you tell me which answers are correct - I am trying to do as a Pick One freeform.

Glad to help Steve, shout out if you need any other help.

Try re-ordering the triggers that display the layers
It works! I added conditions to the incomplete layer trigger to look at both the state of the INCORRECT button (the main criteria for this pick one quiz), AND number of attempts. Once this more specific INCORRECT criteria was set, it didn't interfere with the rest of the inbuilt variables (namely, what happens when the quiz is answered correctly).
2-days spent on that one. Thanks though!
Go Steve - great job getting that sorted!
