Interactive Printable or Save-able Student Worksheet
Apr 02, 2013
Hi, all! I haven't had to post in quite a while! So... Here's the situation:
I currently create student worksheets to accompany the elearning courses I create. These worksheets contain fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, multiple selection, True or false, and matching questions. The whole purpose of the worksheet is for the student to walk away from the lesson with a comprehensive study-guide for the lesson that they completed. Currently, these worksheets are attachments in SL and must be printed, filled out, and reviewed for the correct answers in order for the intended use to be effective. As the student goes through the lesson, a symbol appears on those slides that have a question or two that correlate to that material. The question number(s) are given. The concern with the current format is that printing costs will prevent teachers from using this important tool.
Now, here's the question...
Can a digital worksheet be created in SL (or elsewhere) that can either be saved to the location of the users choice or printed right from SL once it has been completed digitally? The ideal scenario would be for the worksheet to function like a lightbox slide (or similar). The symbol could call up the worksheet. The student can answer the question. At the end of the lesson, the completed worksheet is revealed and the student can save and/or print. Any ideas on how to make this happen?

Celestial,
I'd have to test it out, but what about a Google Doc, or a Sky Drive doc inserted as a web object?
Mike
Hmmm. I thought about a Google Doc. I wasn't sure if the learner could fill it out right there.
Celestial,
I just ran a test, and they certainly can fill it out. Kinda cool.
Mike
Same thought here. Did a project recently where we set up a Google Doc and brought it in through Storyline as a WebObject. Kinda neat...not matter who's taking the course they can all collaborate on the same document dynamically.
Kevin,
Do you have any tips for displaying the document (say, a spreadsheet) optimally inside a web object, or do you just have it launch externally?
Mike
The eLearning courses that are used are used individually. I don't want them all to work on the same document. It should be for each individual student... Any additional ideas?
Great idea! I have the same thing going in my eLearning project... yes individually would be better for me as well, but what a neat component... to have a google doc where ALL members can communicate.
I don't think Google Docs will work for this... Still looking for suggestions...
Hi Celestial,
I'm having this same issue where I need students to fill in multiple fields (including tables) for their own individual data collection. Have you found any workarounds for this?
I tried a Google Form, but I can't insert a table and students won't be able to review their answers.
Any help is appreciated!!
Hi Christie! I'm not sure if Celestial is subscribed to this thread, so you may want to send her a PM
I too am looking for a seamless way for the student to complete a essay type question within Storyline. We currently use an interactive PDF where the student will download and fill out the blanks, this then gets emailed to the lecturer to be assessed when the student has completed.
Any answers to this?
Hello Candace!
Do you have a particular question that you are looking for an answer to? Looks like Mike addressed the original question here.
This thread is quite dated and I'm not sure that the users here would still be subscribed.
I don't think I can use google docs because I don't want it to be a collaborative file. Is it possible to create one google document that people can edit but not see each others edits?
Not that I'm aware of Candace. Would you just want them to do a save as to their local computer at that point?
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and help.
