Poling multiple quiz answers for a single result
May 15, 2014
Hello e-Learning Heros,
I have a conundrum. I am building a quiz based on a client's specific list of questions. They require the number of correct answers to remain the same but one of the questions is quite complex and I would like to pose it in three stages. In the end, I would like to poll all three "questions" and, if all three were answered correctly, they get one point toward the final quiz total. If any one of the three stages were answered incorrectly, they would fail the overall question.
I considered creating a variable that would remain True, until one of the responses was made incorrect, and the resulting False would make the whole question a fail. But I seem to have hit a wall.
Are there any Avenger-level e-Learning Heros out there that can help me?

Hi Jay,
I'm definitely not Avenger-level! and I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for in terms of what the Learner will see, but thought I'd take a stab at what you've presented to get the conversation started.
In the attached there are 3 T/F questions that represent the 3 stages of your complex question. These were not created with graded quiz slides; rather they're blank slides with the "T/F question" and two option buttons where the Learner selects True or False. Learners click a next button to move to the next "stage" of the question.
I've created a T/F variable for each "stage", called Q1, Q2, Q3; default is false.
A trigger on each Question Stage slide changes the associated variable to True when the Learner clicks the next button IF the True option button = selected (all correct answers are True).
Slide 1.4 IS a graded Quiz Question which is cumulative for the 3 stages. Triggers:
jump to the correct layer when the timeline starts if the Q1, Q2, and Q3 variables all = True.
change the state of Button 1 to selected when the timeline starts if Q1, Q2, and Q3 variables all = True
Or,
jump to the incorrect layer if either Q1 or Q2 or Q3 variables are NOT= true.
change the state of Button 2 to selected when the timeline starts if either Q1 or Q2 or Q3 variables are NOT= true.
I added another question, multiple choice, just for the sake of having a "standard" (1-slide) question in the quiz.
This is VERY vanilla...just testing out your idea. And, it assumes Learners will be answering all 3 stages of the 3-part question before getting to the "cumulative" question slide.
Not sure that this provides you with what you need, but as I said, starting the conversation. Others may jump in with a better/more direct solution.
Please shout out with any questions.
