Likert Scale and Overall Results

Hi Dawn,

I held off on responding here in case Mike had a reply for you (hi, Mike!).

I created a screencast tutorial a while back that I think may accomplish what you're attempting to achieve, but it doesn't use Storyline's Likert Survey, since there's apparently, at least currently, no way to pull out those results for the Learner to see....at least if I'm understanding correctly and that's what you're trying to do.

Apologies if I misunderstood.

Hi Dawn! One thing you could do is create a button set and an associated variable for each question. The variable could record their responses and then be used to either summarize their selections or calculate a "score".  I've attached a simple example. 

Hi Bruce! My experience with getting info out of an LMS sounds similar to yours. I would build things differently depending on what I'm doing with the reponses. i.e if I want to just use them to communicate with the learners, etc inside the course vs record and report on them for all learners.  Also like you I arrived in a similar place of using an online survey tool for those times when I want to aggregate and do calculations on the responses. The simplicity of just grabbing all the responses in an easy to work with spreadsheet is such a big time saver on the back end. Plus it makes it super easy to share with your stakeholder, etc.

Mike,

I tried doing this and for some reason when I create the button it will only let me click one button for the whole screen even though I have 5 questions that I want people to take.  What am I doing wrong here?

I copied the slide I am having issues with onto your example.  

The buttons for each question should be in a unique button set. For example, for question one, your 1st set of five buttons would be in "Button Set 1", then the five buttons for question two would be in "Button Set 2", etc etc.  You can name your button sets anything you want. - just so you know which set goes with each question. 

Thank you Mike!  That was very helpful.  The only other thing I am struggling with (since this is the first time I have done this) is add a results slide at the end.  I'm not even sure how to set one up for this.  Since this is a self assessment for learners,So for each question I want the results to look like this:

"Developmental Area" if mean score is 2, 3 or 4

"Neutral" if the mean score is 5, 6 or 7

"Strength" if mean score is 8, 9 or 10

With the radial buttons scoring like this:

never = 1 pt

rarely = 2 pts

sometimes = 3 pts

often = 4 pts 

always = 5 points

Hi Rebecca,

I know your screencast was posted a while back but it definitely helped me with what I am trying to do! I am wondering - is it possible to do "pick many" in the freeform instead of pick one. I have 20 questions that employees will need to get through and I don't think one question a slide will do. Is it possible to post a series of five questions on a slide and have storyline count the total as they answer? I tried to select pick many but there isn't an option for Score by choice. It only allows me to score by question. How would I go about creating that??

Thanks!

Hi Maia,

I'm so glad that Rebecca's post was able to get you headed in the right direction.

I know that she doesn't make it back to the forums often due to retirement, but we'd love to help you out.

Scoring by choice lets you assign a different score to each answer choice, but it's only available for Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions.

If you'd like to share a sample slide in a .story file of what you are looking to create, I'm sure someone could help you get started with your design.

I'm having the same issue. I want a likert scale with multiple questions per page and a results page that scores each selection. I've tried it using Rebecca's template, which is great except it requires a single question per page. I tried creating button sets, but with Freeform > Pick One, you only get to pick one on the page, not multiple, and with Freeform > Pick Many, it doesn't let you score. Can anyone help with this? 

Tally all responses into variables with "when clicked" triggers, and then display the result in a chart: https://cluelabs.com/single-chart-elearning-widget.html
