Quiz Setting for Storyline

Apr 04, 2024

Hello Heroes,

I hope someone can help me with setting up my triggers for a quiz.

I have a quiz created in storyline that has been set up so that the learner can attempt the quiz unlimited times.  See attachment.

My client has come back and asked to have three attempts in total. First attempt to try on their own. Second attempt to show any answer they got wrong and third attempt to pass the exam.

How do I set that up with my triggers? any guidance would be amazing. 

Note: This quiz will be used as a block in Rise 360.

To limit attempts for retrying the quiz, do this: 

  • Create a number variable with a default value of 0. 
  • On the Results slide, do this:
    • Put a trigger that adds 1 to the variable when the timeline starts.
    • After that, add a trigger that hides or disables the Retry Quiz button when the timeline starts with the condition that the variable = 3 (i.e., the maximum number of attempts). 
      • I also suggest you use a similar trigger to show a message about reaching the max attempts, as well as what the user should do. For example, contact their manager or the LMS team.

I'm not sure what you want for the feedback. There's no Review Quiz button in the image, so I'm guessing you're referring to the immediate feedback provided on the Incorrect layer of each question. You could use triggers to show different feedback with conditions based on the value of the variable.
