Hello, my client wants us to produce quiz questions that have multiple feedback answers based on the various options selected on a quiz page. For example, when users select B and D, they will receive a Correct feedback response, when users select any option that includes B or D, they will receive a Partially Correct feedback response, and when users select options that do not include options B and D, they will receive an incorrect feedback response. I have attached a file where I attempted to set this up myself but it is not working properly. Can this actually be done, or am I missing something? Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
You're amazing Wendy! That work's great... thank you so much! This is a life save since our client wants these type of questions and feedback going forward. I do have one additional question. Our client just asked if there is a way to put a 3 attempt limit on the quiz question. I am thinking that since this question slide is custom programmed, and I am not using the default feedback options, adding the 3 attempt limit would interfere with the custom programming. Is that right?
Yes, that's right. Is this possible? I haven't done any customization before where you limit users on how many times they can perform an option. I know that the default quiz slides have an option for the number of attempts but we have bypassed the default quiz feedback options and used our own feedback options (the incorrect, correct, and partially correct).
check out the update to your file. I have duplicated slide 2 and made the following changes:
I initially had the triggers for selection of the checkboxes when the user clicked the submit button but I've changed it to a 'toggle' so now if the user clicks to select then decides to change their mind, we are validating correctly.
I've added in a count and used triggers on the partial and incorrect layers to show/hide a 'Try again button'.
You may need to change the text on your partial and incorrect layers as you are giving them the answer which defeats the purpose of 'trying again'...
I've tested a few combinations but not all so you'll need to do some testing to make sure it's returning the layer you want when you want.
Thank you so much...everything was working fine until i messed things up by adding a continue button. I am not sure how the Continue button has messed this up. After the three attempts on the Incorrect feedback and the partially correct feedback, I have a continue button that should display. the user will click the continue button and move on to the next page; however, now the feedback does not display at all. There is a flash and then the course auto jumps to the next page in the file. Nothing is set to automatically continue to the next page. I am not sure why it's acting this way. I have attached the file.
I have experienced this issue before I had feedback layers that had custom names and SL didn't like it - I was using SL2 though and the workaround was to go back to using the default feedback layers (in the feedback master move all the text boxes and buttons offstage) and then add your own objects but still retaining the Correct / Incorrect / Try Again naming convention - every time I veered away from that it bombed.
Sorry I didn't think about it when we were building this slide as there was no next slide so I was concentrating more on getting the right layers to display.
I would log a support ticket with Articulate and see if there is a better way - if not, let me know and we'll see what we can come up with.
Let me know how you go...I have some work to do for a client now but if I get a chance later I'll see if I can find a workaround for you. All the best Sherri.
Thank you so much! I submitted a case so hopefully they will come up with something. I also wondered about not using a quiz page template at all and just using a blank page and making it look like a quiz page. I'll see what Support comes back with first. Thanks again!
No for this course we are not grading them on the questions. So maybe I can set it up on a blank slide... it just won't be using the same Submit button that the normal quiz questions would have. That might be a possibility for the client.
Wendy, that works great! That seems to be the way to go until Articulate can come up with more options or a solution to their quiz templates. Thank you so much!!!
Wendy, after working with Articulate Support, they have come up with a way to use a quiz template slide and customize it to have Multiple Feedback for Multiple Answers. I'm attaching the sample below if you or anyone else can use it. Thank you again for helping me! I can definitely use both your set up and Articulate's setup depending on our customer's specific needs!
I have the same question but there's no Submit button in this example. Do you have something like this but with a Submit button, please? My quiz questions and buttons are customised.
Hello Nayeli and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your question. Since it's been a while since the previous example was shared, I'd recommend sharing the .story file that you're working on so we can help you directly.
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
I have a similar situation as the previous examples and was hoping someone could help me with the triggers/variables to create a variety of incorrect response feedback?
I see that you’ve reached out to our Support Engineers in case. That was a great call! You should be hearing from our team soon via email to continue the conversation.

Hi Sherri
see if the attached works for you - I've tested a few combinations and I think its what you want.
I duplicated your slide, removed all the triggers and used variables to control when the layers displayed.
Shout out if you have any questions.

Hi Sherri
glad that helped you -
now for the added requirement of 3 attempts - you want them to get a try again layer when either the partial layer or incorrect layers are shown ?
Yes, that's right. Is this possible? I haven't done any customization before where you limit users on how many times they can perform an option. I know that the default quiz slides have an option for the number of attempts but we have bypassed the default quiz feedback options and used our own feedback options (the incorrect, correct, and partially correct).

Thank you for trying to help me through this. It seems crazy that it all crashes once we add another slide. I will log a support ticket. Thank you!

I was going to suggest that but wasn't sure if you needed it as a graded question for scoring in the LMS.
No for this course we are not grading them on the questions. So maybe I can set it up on a blank slide... it just won't be using the same Submit button that the normal quiz questions would have. That might be a possibility for the client.
Hi Sherri
ok - here is a very rough mockup of the content not in a quiz slide - hope this helps
