Quiz Results Slide - DISABLING RETRY BUTTON

Nov 04, 2019

Hi there,

 

I have setup a quiz in Storyline and included a results slide that requires a minimum percentage in order to pass. I have setup a retry button to allow learners to go back and retry the questions they got wrong. I would like to setup a trigger to disable the retry button after their second attempt at these questions, but cannot find this setting under the trigger options.

 

I do not want them to be able to revisit the incorrect questions over and over again until they achieve the minimum percentage to pass. I simply wish to give them an opportunity try the incorrect questions 1 more time and then have the overall results from their second attempt pull through to the LMS for grading purposes.

 

Please see attached file and advise.

 

Warm regards

 

Nicole

You can create your functions like this with the use of variables under your control.

  1. Create a numeric variable called RETRIES with a default value of 1.
  2. On your results slide put a text box indicating to the user how many retries they have left:
       Retries Remaining:  %RETRIES%
  3. On the results slide add a slide trigger:
       Change the state of [ButtonRetries] to hidden when timeline starts Results on the condition that variable RETRIES = 0
      OR
    on the condition that Results.PercentageScore = 100     (perfect score)
  4. On the RETRY button, add a trigger that happens first:
       Adjust variable RETRIES subtract -1 when user clicks buttonretries

I think that will do it.   Each When they hit RETRY the counter will decrement, eventually the button is hidden because the retries=0.

Now that I think about it, you don't really need a variable.  You only want to allow ONE retry, right?

So you can accomplish this all with just a single trigger added to the RETRY button that occurs first:

Change the state of buttonRETRY to hidden when user click buttonRETRY.

So they only see that button the first time they get to the results.

I'd still recommend a second slide trigger to hide that button if the Results.PercentageScore = 100.

Hello Jerry

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have tried the solutions
advised in both your responses, however, neither seem to work? As per your
first suggestion the RETRIES button does not reduce in number, nor does it
disable as per the triggers set (please refer to SUMMIT - FS -
Summative.story.b). Similarly, the solution you recommended next to simply
include one trigger and not add the variable suggested in your first
solution, did not disable the RETRY button as per the trigger (please refer
to the attached SUMMIT -FS - Summative.story) Please will you kindly take a
look at the attached files and let me know where I am going wrong?* It is
probably easier and quicker to start with the SUMMIT -FS - Summative.story
as that does not have the variable added.*

Thank you kindly and much appreciated. I look forward to your further
guidance.

Warm regards

Nicole

Thanks Jerry, but that doesn't really help me resolve the matter. Did you
look at the attached files I sent through yesterday as it clearly shows
that this does not work for me?!

I shall send an email to support directly, perhaps they can help me
resolve it. Or perhaps look at some of the other practical suggestions on
eLearning Heroes forum.

Thanks for you advise though.
