Include in Shuffle settings

May 08, 2023

What is the difference between "Include in Shuffle - Randomly" and "Include in Shuffle - Always"? I have a test with 46 questions in a bank, Draw questions randomly is checked, and it is set to Include All questions. 

If Storyline is pulling all bank questions in a random order, is "Always" versus "Randomly" the same in this instance?

If you draw all the questions from the bank, then there's no difference in outcome between "Include in Shuffle - Randomly" and "Include in Shuffle - Always." 

If you draw only a designated number of the questions for a given quiz, then it makes it difference.

  • Include in Shuffle - Randomly: the question might be used for that quiz
  • Include in Shuffle - Always: the question will always be used for that quiz
  • Include in Shuffle - Never: the question will never be used for that quiz
