Quiz Questions - Formatting not correct
Apr 10, 2015
Hi, I've created quiz questions in a quiz bank but when I add them to my scene, the formatting of the questions is messed up; there is text over the top of text, the answers are spread far apart and require users to scroll down in an embedded scroll box to see all of them - and sometimes there are only 2 or 3 answers. I'm having to spend lots of time reformatting each of the questions which is taking forever since my Storyline already runs very slowly. I just recently had to reinstall Articulate 1 on a new laptop and am using Java 6.35. Not sure if that is relevant. Any ideas you have are most welcome! Thank you!!! Barbie

Hi Barbie!
Would you be able to share your .story file for someone to take a look at? If you cannot share here in the forums, please share here privately.
looks like you have them set to shuffle and because the responses are different sizes this is the result. As far as the scrolling you need to increase the size of the control to accommodate the size of the responses.
Phil,
Why would setting quiz questions to shuffle make a difference? We've been having this happen on certain people's machines. It's even gotten to the point where a user will log back in to find that they are getting an incorrect answer on a question that they answered previously.
Hi, Aaron -- I just wanted to mention in the event that Phil is no longer subscribed to this thread, you are welcome to reach out to him directly by using the Contact Me link on his profile page.
Hi Aaron,
The shuffling of answers was dependent on how they were displaying - but if sounds like if users are seeing them as scored incorrectly that's a much different issue. Can you tell us a bit more about your quiz set up, where you're hosting the course and how you've published, the slide property settings, etc.? If you'd like to share the .story file here we can always take a look too!
We just had a series of standard quiz questions (multiple choice, T/F), that were shuffled randomly to pull 5 out of a bank of 20. We are running on the Trivantis Coursemill LMS in Internet Explorer, and everything has been published to LMS format with HTML5 output checked. The slide properties were all set to "Automatically Decide" when revisiting.
We actually went back and resolved the issue by just republishing the course to the LMS with a previous revision of the file. Then we had the user clear his cache and start the course over again. I think the issue was the fact that he was running and older version of IE and happened to be on the course when I attempted to upload a new revision.
Thanks Aaron for the update and I'm happy to hear a simple clearing of the cache worked. I also just wanted to point out that IE is not one of the supported browsers for HTML5 content as detailed here.
