Maximum number of choices in quiz

Neils,

The standard Storyline Multiple Choice question also limits to 10 choices.  However, a cool way to get more than 10 choices is to create a slide with 11 (or 12) buttons (the check box variety) and then convert the slide to freeform.  It's a little more manual in nature, but will definitely serve your needs!

Great, that will do the trick...! Thank you, you are providing a top class support here on this forum...!

Glad we could help!

I just tried to create the slide but without success. Here is the scenario:

I want to create something like a survey. There is no right or wrong answer, people need to click one option out of 12. More like a survey. I created the buttons now as described, however when I create a freeform and choose "Pick One" I still only have 10 possible options to choose from. Can you give me some more detailed advice please?

Cheers, niels

Niels,

What is the desired outcome after the learner chooses a response? Are you branching them to a particular area of the course?

We just want to track the answers for statistical purposes. After the field is ticked, the user comes to the next slide. We then track all data in a quiz form.

NIels

So you wish for the data to be reported out to an LMS?

Correct. We use Accord at the moment.

Survey versus a multiple choice.  Hmmm. I'll have to ponder this for a bit...

How are you planning to collect the data?  A results slide of some sort?  

Any info you can give as to your approach to the collection of the data and subsequent

reporting to the LMS would be great!   The reason I ask is that a Multiple Choice or pick one, or pick many type of question is typically ends with a "correct" or "incorrect" output. But it sounds like you may be looking to acquire survey data which typically isn't correct or incorrect in nature.

Mike

we usually use a result slide or a quizmaker quiz to track the results. I publish the presentation for Scorm 2004 and track the result slide.

Niels,

Can you explain the dynamics of how you translate the survey responses into usable data?  So for example, if you are collecting correct/incorrect items, are you building an overall score that is reported?

Niels,

I just tried this again.  If you create a blank slide, then add, say, 13 buttons and then convert to freeform, pick one, it should create 13 choices.  

Mike

That is a good question. Ideally a survey format would be great, but the limitation to a maximum of 10 choices is in the way of that. I am trying this in Storyline for the first time, so I am not 100% sure either.

I used quizzes in another training before. It had a freetext field that I used to track as a quiz. We then could see what text was entered and were able to export that into an excel report via our LMS. What I am looking for is something like this:

1. Enter the customer name:

     -- free text field --

2. Which of these situations occurred?

    a. Situation 1

    b. Situation 2

    c. Situation 3

What I want is to track the text entered and the option chosen.

Great question Niels.  Let me see if I can pull in someone with more background on this.  I'm shaky when it comes to reporting data out to an LMS.

Niels,

Does this help?

That is very interesting stuff, but the problem is that here as well we have the "Pick One" option which doesn't allow me more than 10 options to choose from. Which is the whole problem.

Niels,

The freeform should work.

Add 15 buttons to your slide.

Convert to freeform pick one

Edit question

You'll see A-L listed in the choices 

Start adding your buttons into the choices area

When you get to the bottom, a scroll bar will appear showing the additional choices.

I am building a form and need for the user to select a month, day, and, year and have it report to the LMS. Problem is that free form slide and Java Script does not report to LMS. Survey nor Graded pick one quiz questions  do not allow for more than ten choices, I need 12 for the number of months, 31 for the number of days.  Any other ideas? 

Hello Gigi and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Sounds like you're needing a pretty custom set-up.

You may be able to set this up by reporting variables to the LMS as this article suggests.

I hope that others in the community are able to chime in to share their design ideas with you here.

If it's just the months and nothing else, you could assign a specific score to each month. Then you could see how much someone scored and deduct the month from that. January = 1point, Feb= 2points etc... 

Thank you for your speedy response. In the meantime I created a Free Form Pick Many slide and added 12 shapes - each shape has text entered for the month. In the form view I selected score by question and entered 0 for the score. I created a 2nd slide for the day (31 shapes for 31 days), and a 3rd slide for the year (3 shapes for 3 years). It worked! and now my LMS Custom Report pulls the exact month, day, and year.  The attached image shows Form View and Excel data. Thanks again!
