Quiz always available in Storyline

Apr 18, 2013

Hi, Is there a way to have a quiz always available on the topright toolbar? In Articulate 09, I would add a quiz to the player tab, so the learner could work through the quiz while also going through the content. The answers were saved and the learner could close and resume as often as required. Thanks!

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

You should be able to set this up pretty easily in Storyline by creating a player tab assigned to that quiz. The only issue I can see would be that the user may see their previous responses (though they will remain scored as correct) and need to move forward to the next question when they revisit the quiz. 

Take a look:

Example for Debi

You'll be able to view any slide and access the quiz from the tab along the top of the player. You can customize where this appears, I just wanted to place it in a spot that was easily noticed.

Would something like this work for you?

Let me know!

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Naahsraa!

Can you give a little more information about what you'd like to do please?

If you're just starting out with Storyline and you want information on working with quizzes and question banks, please take a look at the following tutorials:

  • Graded questions and survey questions: Choose from 20 different predefined question types for fast and easy quiz-building
  • Freeform questions: These allow you to build your own questions or interactions out of just about any object you've added to your quiz slides—the ultimate in flexible authoring! Choose from five different question types, including drag and drop, hotspot, and more.
  • Questions from a question bank: Question banks provide a simple way to create sets of questions and randomize the order in which they display. You can even choose to display just a subset of the questions if you like.
  • Result slides: Storyline's result slide options allow you to compile results from any quiz questions you choose, and then display performance data to your learners. You can even opt to show an aggregate score from multiple quizzes if you like.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Christine

Hope you don't mind if I jump in 

I like this design and use. I have a couple questions ....

1. How do I create the Player Tab? Is there a tutorial for this?

2. In this scenario-design you have 1-Quiz for 1 group of Content-Slides. What if you had 2 Groups of content sides and 2 quizzes.

3. Where do I find information about the "Question Bank"?

Thanks for your help!!

Hi there Ray! :)

Besides the four ready-made tabs that come with Storyline, you can also add tabs of your own. These tabs can contain any additional slide content that you want, or you can assign any other trigger action to them. Here's how to add a tab:

Click the Add button (the icon that looks like a blank piece of paper) below the list of player tabs.

  1. The Trigger Wizard window appears. Type a name for the tab in the Name field.
  2. Use the Align field to choose where to place the tab. You can choose Topbar Left or Topbar Right.
  3. Use the Action field, along with the fields that follow it, to tell Storyline how to respond when learners click the tab. This is called a Trigger. (For example, if you want a certain slide to appear in a lightbox when the learner clicks the tab, you would choose Lightbox slide as the trigger action, and then choose the slide you want to lightbox.) You can also include Conditions that determine the circumstances under which the trigger occurs. To learn more about triggers and conditions, check out this tutorial.
  4. When you're finished entering the Trigger information for your new tab, click OK.

If you have more than one question bank you'd like to pull from the player, you could add a new tab for the second quiz. 

Here's some tutorials that will help with setting up your question banks:

Hope this helps! :)
