Multiple Choice Incorrects don't reset base layer

Mar 05, 2018

OK, I'm stuck.  I'm using the canned Multiple Choice question form, but when the Incorrect branches back to the base layer to let the student try again, the base layer won't reset to original.  I have chosen "Reset... and everything else looks OK.  What the heck am I missing?

Well now I’ve really messed up. With the newest version of Storyline, I accidentally Published my course to Articulate online. Never meant to put THAT out there! Sorry, it’s frustrating to be dumb. How do I take that down off the Articulate site???

I just don’t know how to save or publish a slide or… maybe anything to a file like I used to, to send to someone. (And here I thought I knew how to use this SW, having successfully created and published to my LMS for a while now.)

HELP?!?!

Hi Nora

I assume if you've published to Articulate Online it's only because you have an account and unless you share the link then no-one else will see it.

To share the .story file (the source Storyline file not the published file) here on the forum - click the Add Attachment button and navigate on your PC to where you have the file stored and attach it.

Hope that helps.

OK, here is my Storyline file. I've tried to create (multiple) multiple choice questions as you'll see. The Corrects branch correctly. But the Incorrects go back to the Base Layer, and the base Layer doesn't reset to original so the student can try again. I can't think of anything else to fix that I haven't already tried. Unfortunately this isn't my first try - I've used canned question templates a lot before!

Thanks for any help. I have to run get my car at the dealership so will be back at it tomorrow am.

Hi Nora

No I can't see anything - where are you uploading the file to? Can you click this link on your PC - it is the link to the post on the forum.  When it open in the browser on your PC, scroll to the last post and reply to my post and click the grey 'add attachment' button that I've highligted in the image below.

I have several multiple choice questions in there and clearly am doing something wrong as they all do the same thing: The Correct layer branches correctly to the next slide. The Incorrect layer hides, but the base layer, the question, doesn't reset so the student can try again. Obviously I have some setting fighting with another... or something?

Oh crap, is that it? I’ll go try it. Somehow I missed that setting and what it meant. I really appreciate your patience. Have done a lot of questions and somehow didn’t do this before…

Q: If I chose to create NON-graded questions, maybe I would never have seen this setting before? Since I generally force people to get the right answer before they go on, I have not tried the cumulative grading process… maybe ever.

THANKS!!
