I am wanting to create a pick one situation where the learner needs to decide if a statement is a "yes" or a "no". I would like their choice to be shown for approx 2 seconds, before having a trigger to automatically submit the pick one interaction, where after the learner gets feedback on their choice.
I currently have a count variable that I am using to trigger the automatic submit, but I cannot seem to get the time/pause of 2 seconds before the count trigger submits.
If I understand correctly, you want the learner to only have two seconds to make a choice (Yes/No), and it will automatically get submitted. What do you want to happen if they don't choose within that time?
Since for the Pick One, an answer has to be chosen, you will need to set the slide to automatically select one of the options (or a third, hidden one - more about that below) so an invalid pop-up is not received.
Here's what I suggest:
Create three options for the Pick one - Yes / No / Shape not on the slide
Adjust the timeline, so the question stays on the screen for a few seconds before the answers appear, and the timeline will end two seconds after they show up.
Create a trigger to select the hidden shape when the timeline starts (this will avoid the "Invalid answer" pop-up if the learner doesn't choose anything.
Create a trigger to submit the interaction when the timeline ends.
I am actually wanting the two options to show immediately. the learner must pick one. Once they have picked one of the options I would like to highlight the choice for 2-3 seconds before it automatically submits the choice. The intention is to let the learner see their choice (and ingrain the knowledge) before they are told if it is correct or incorrect.
Does this make sense?
I know the other way around is to let the learner pick an option and then have them press a "Submit" button to check their answer, but this makes the lesson more cumbersome (with more clicks for functionality than for learning).
Here's a slight variation to the first slide in Walt's example. I changed the displays on the feedback master to begin at 2 seconds. I removed the default background semi-transparent fill, replacing it with a semi-transparent rectangle to fill the screen at 2 seconds along with the other feedback objects.
Thank you for the solution to my challenge. It works perfectly, and such a simple solution. My brain didnt even think to manipulate the feedback timeline. I will remember this for the future.

Hi Maria

Here a couple of ways to do that. One slide uses a built-in quiz, and can feed into a result slide, the other one doesn't.

Thank you both Walt and Steve.
I appreciate the effort and fast replies.
Will investigate and get back to you.
