Question bank and Quizzing Questions:

Apr 08, 2014

I am trying to accomplish a couple of things for my course quizzing and I am running into difficulty:

1. I have several knowledge check questions at the end of each lesson. How do I:

  • Have the user be able to go back to the applicable lesson to review the material and have the opportunity to re-try the knowlege checks before moving to the next segment. (I don't want them to be able to skip over a segment)
  • Once I have all those questions in place, I want to randomize about 15 - 20 of  them for use in a quiz final.  I am finding that when I do that, my scoring is all out of whack.
  • I want people to be able to retake the final until they pass, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to allow the user to revisit the segments they want to review, then have the test reset.

Hi Lisa and welcome to Heroes!

You could set up the Results slide to have a "Retry" button on the Failure layer of your Results slide, so that the user is directed back to the beginning of the quiz or your course content and needs to take the quiz again and pass to be able to continue. You would then include a button on the Success layer to advance to the next section of the course, and you may want to look at disabling the next/previous buttons for this slide alone so that the user is forced into one of the two conditions. 

I'd need to know more about what is happening with your scoring, but it sounds you're using the same questions and placing them in a question bank for a later draw? Are they all being tracked by the same results slide? Are you pulling from the question bank for the initial set and the final quiz, or just at the end? 

Similar to how you'd set up the Results slide for an individual quiz, you could do the same for the quiz final. If you'll have a bunch of sections throughout the course and only want them to see the ones they didn't pass you may want to show multiple scores on one results slide and include a Retry button for those that they don't pass.
