Is there a way to set a quiz requirement for # of choices selected

Jun 05, 2013

For multiple-response questions, is there a way to set a requirement for the number of choices that should be selected before submitting the answer? For instance, if the user picks only 2 choices but is required to select 3, can a pop-up be shown to remind the user of the requirement? This would be very helpful for some of my quiz questions.

Hi there Pete,

How many attempts are you allowing for your Multiple Response question? If you're allowing multiple attempts (and it sounds like you are) the easiest method would probably be to include some type of custom feedback on the "Try Again" prompt that users see when they answer incorrectly. 

For example, you could add something like this:

"Please try again. Remember that you'll need to select three choices that meet the requirements discussed in this course."

The hint would be general, wouldn't give away the answers and would remind the user that they need to select three options.

Or, you could go a little more in depth with states and/or variables and a hint layer. It really depends on how you want to set this up, how customized you want this and when you want this information to appear. 

I hope this helps get you started. If you have any trouble, or any questions, just let me know.

Thanks!
