How do I add comprehension check questions to content slides?

Hi Jim

are you working with SL1 or SL2?  Do you want the comprehension check to be graded so there is a score that goes somewhere or are you just asking a question and giving feedback?

Hello Jim!

One option would be is to  add content to a quiz slide. 

You can have it visible from the start, or you can have the question text appear later in the timeline if needed, or when the timeline ends.

i am sure there are plenty of other options, and I am sure other will join in with suggestions. You could also insert a quiz slide after a content slide.

Hi Wendy! SL2 and I don't need to track grades. I just need students to know whether they were correct or not. Ideally, the student will read the question, read the content, answer the question, then move on.

Hi Emily! I like the idea of adding content to a quiz slide. I did try to create a T/F slide with content but I am not yet up to the challenge.

I do want the question visible from the start, probably at the top of the page with the content beneath.

Hello Jim!

When you add a quiz slide, you can move and re size the text boxes of the question text as well as the answers, then you can add your content as needed in the remaining space. This will be done under Slide  View within the slide itself.

Hi Jim

Emily beat me to it...yell out if you need any more help

I need more help!

But I feel I have at least gotten started. Beginning with Emily's file above, I was able to put my comprehension check question and content in the text box and have the answer choices off to the side there.

I want to do a little bit more. I want to have the question and the answer choices together - I was unable to move the answer choices into the text box.

Another option would be to have more than one text box - one right next to the answer choices where I put the question and then another, larger one. I could not figure out how to insert another text box, however.

Also, I was unable to resize the text box. I could drag it around but I could not drag just one wall to actually change the size.

Basically, I went through some video things on lynda.com but it seems that training failed. Google helped me find this: https://community.articulate.com/series/5/articles/text-box - but that doesn't show how to resize a box, put answer choices in a box, or add a text box. So I appreciate the tutoring!

Hi Jim

is this what you mean?  I know the options are out of order just did a quickie to show you

That's what I mean! How did you resize the boxes for the content and for the question? Also, is it easy enough to add a title now? And how do I insert a little instruction box under the T/F (so I can explain that to move through the class, they need to answer the T/F to get to the next slide)?

Hey Jim...do you use Team Viewer or Skype where we could share screens - I could show you how to do it.

My skypename is wendy.farmer2111 or you can email me wfarmer@iinet.net.au

Probably easier to show you.

If not, I will recreate and do a screen recording of what I do...let me know what suits

Hey Jim

quick screen recording - bit dodgy am on my way out...let me know if this makes sense

Thank you kindly for the offer. I prefer the screen recording but since you are the helper and I am the helpee, I will do whatever you like best!

I have never used Team Viewer. I have a Skype account but I have only used it for typing chat messages. Just let me know if I need to expand my horizons.

Edit - Now I see the screen recording is there. I will have a look. Thanks again!

Hey Jim

the file I posted above is a screen recording...just preview the file in SL and it should work for you

Hello Jim!

Hopefully Wendy's screen record was able to help.

Hi Jim

just checking in - were you able to work out what you needed for your slides?

If not - just shout...

Hi thank you for checking on me Wendy. I am doing fairly well. I do have one slide giving me issues because my content doesn't fit in its box. I can't figure out how make a scroll bar or something so that the content does not get all messed up (like it is now).

Any chance someone can take the template I'm using (the one from earlier in this thread) and make the content box a scrolly box? Or point me toward a tutorial on how to use the "scrolling panel" function (assuming that's the ticket for getting a scroll bar in my content box).

I would upload my slide to show the problem but I am still trying to figure out how to save just one slide!

Hey jim not in my office at the moment but if you search the forum with 'Adding Scrolling Panels' you should get a number of responses to help you.

search icon is in the top right near your profile pic.

Hello Jim!

Here is a tutorial about using scrolling panels.

The scrolling panel button is under the Insert tab:

Hope this helps!

Thanks. I actually found a friend who made me my first scroll box and I just use that slide as a template now. Eventually I will have to learn but I'll put it off a while longer!

Thanks for the update Jim.
