novel ways to provide feedback/hints to each possible answer in a multi response question

Sep 09, 2015

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create hint text for each possible answer of a multiple response question in Storyline.   I am currently trying to use a marker for this... the problem is I need to associate a marker with each possible answer, the answers are randomised location.   I am hoping to have a marker beside each possible answer, so when the user want a hint about the possible answer, they get a hint for just that possible answer.   The problem is lets say I have 3 responses, I create 3 markers with hints... but when I preview the question, the markers are now beside the wrong answer, there appears to be no way to associate for example marker3 with the correct response checkbox3.   I tried to group them but it is not permitted.   I tried to create a trigger that starts with the timeline, then moves the marker to the correct response checkbox, but the motion path destination is static, and cannot be tied to the random location of each specific response checkbox.

If anyone has any ideas on how i can achieve my objective, I would be really happy.  Could there be a way with javascript?  Thanks

 

Neal

Hi, Neal -- Welcome to the community! We're glad you're here. :)

Thanks for your question, and with respects to using JavaScript, I just wanted to mention that we do not provide support for JS coding (but you may find this article on JavaScript Best Practices to be helpful).

Hopefully, some of our JS experts in the community will be able to share their tips and tricks to help you with your course, as well!
