We're trying to come up with a training program within Storyline that requires a good amount of personalized feedback. What is the best way to go about creating essay questions that allow the user to either print the results or save as PDF in Storyline?
Hi there, Robert! Thanks for using Storyline for your training programs. ☺️
If you track your essay questions with a results slide, you can include an option to print results. That will open a tab in your learner's browser with all of the tracked questions and their responses.
Thanks a lot for the video. Do you know if the design of the printed page can be changed?
And, I also wanted to know: if I'm the student and I write my answer in the "Essay", I click submit and I close the course because I'm tired. Will I see my answer in that Essay blank when I open the course again?
It is best to make a questionnaire so that everyone can have anonymity and options to choose an answer. I have been tested and it showed how other companies operate as an example at https://www.bestessaytips.com/review_essay.php. I don't know if they do exactly scripting and question design, but it's a handy thing for someone who is going to create questionnaires and surveys for the public. The same thing was done in college and it's handy. The usual pdf form was uploaded to the cloud to the server and a link could be accessed through the system to enter the answers.
You can check out the responses from my colleagues Crystal and Ren here and here for recommendations on how to answer essay questions as well as print the results. If you have any questions or clarifications regarding the provided solutions, let us know and we'll be glad to assist!

Let me know if you have something else in mind!
Hello,
Would anyone know if there is a video on how this is done, or an example of something like this already done that could be used as a template?
Hi Ann,
Sure thing! I've recorded a very basic example of how to print results from a results slide and attached the .story file in case you wanted to view it in Storyline. Hope this helps!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
