Quizzes

Hi Diana! You could do that with a couple variables which keep track of the number of questions answered and the number of correct responses. Use a few triggers on your slide masters to tell Storyline when to adjust the variable values, and insert a reference to the variables on your slides. Here's one way to do it, and the story file's attached in case you'd like to take a closer look: 

Thank You Jeanette! This was very helpful.

One last question, how can I add this to an existing quiz?

Best,

Diana 

Hi again Diana - yes, for an existing quiz, you could just follow the same steps that I used in the sample:

1. Create two number variables (one to track total questions and one to track correct questions)

2. On your correct feedback master, add triggers to increase the count by 1 for each variable when the timeline starts.

3. On the incorrect feedback master, add a trigger to increase the count by 1 for the question count variable only.

4. Go to the slide master layout that you use for your quiz slides, and insert a reference to the variables.

5. If your result slide has a Retry Quiz button, add triggers to it to change your variable values to zero if learners decide to retry the quiz.

Hope that helps!

It worked Perfectly! Thank you so much. 

Hi, I have have moved from 09 to Storyline how do you develop Quizzes in Storyline?

Hello Alec. One way is to import your existing quizzes from Quizmaker into Storyline. More about that here.

You can also create new quizzes from scratch right in Storyline - the quizzing features are easy and really powerful. I'd suggest taking a look at these tutorials:

• Create a simple form-based quiz question
• Convert any slide to a freeform question
• Quickly create a results slide to track & grade

You can also get more details about the quizzing features by checking out all of the quizzing tutorials .

Can I ask a question related to quizzes as well? I am attempting to embed a quiz in the middle of a presentation then at the end of the quiz go to the next slide (ex. slide 22>quiz>slide 23). Is this something that can be done? PLEASE HELP!

Hi Jorge - yes, definitely. Are you trying to add your quiz to an Articulate Storyline project? Or to an Articulate Presenter project?

articulate presenter. please help!

Jorge, here are the steps for inserting a Quizmaker quiz into an Articulate Presenter project:  http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/adding-a-quiz-or-survey-to-your-course.aspx 

When you follow the steps in that tutorial, you'll have an opportunity to specify how you want the "Finish" button at the end of your quiz to behave. You can choose a different behavior depending on whether the learner passes or fails. In your course, it sounds like you'd want to set both instances to "Goes to Next Slide," like this:

I've tried this, and i have been running into problems getting it to work properly. Any thoughts as to why?

Hi Jorge, we'd need a little more information about what behaviour you're seeing when you try to insert your quiz. Would you mind submitting a support case so that we can help you out with this? Thank you!

Jeanette, can you answer this question for me? Can you attach more than one quiz to a presentation and branch the slide to the quiz then back to a slide then to another quiz and exit the training?

You can definitely include multiple quizzes, but if you plan to report your results to an LMS, you need to choose one quiz that will be reported.

Regarding branching: yes, you can apply certain forms of branching. For example, you can branch from a presentation slide to a quiz. And within a quiz, you can apply branching among the quiz questions. You can also branch from the end  of a quiz to a specific presentation slide.

It's not possible, however, to branch from within a quiz (i.e., from a particular quiz question) to a particular presentation slide. 

I tested your theory and BINGO it worked!! I needed to change the tracking and reporting feature to grade 1 of the 2 quizzez instead of making it validate the training slides instead. It fixed the problem.

YOU ARE A GENIUS!

I love you...no seriously I do!

I recently upgraded from Quizmaker 2.3 to Quizmaker 09.  One of the features I loved is no longer available.  The navigational pane would allow the person taking the quiz to view all the questions in list form.  The unanswered questions would be in bold, so you could easily go back to questions skipped.  I am not seeing that in 09.  Is this feature no longer available?

@Jorge - cool, glad you're all set now!

@Theresa - there is a feature on the quiz player template called the question list navigation panel. It's in the upper-left of the quiz player. Learners can use that to jump among questions, and when they pull down the list, they can see which questions they've already answered (correctly answered questions will have a green checkmark, and incorrect ones will have a red X). Anything without a checkmark or an X hasn't been answered yet. Below is a picture where you can see that I've answered questions 1 & 3, but not questions 2 & 4. For info on how to configure your question list navigation panel, you can check out this tutorial.

Jeanette,

Thank you!!  One question.  Does this only work if you have answer submission set for submit one question at a time?  In Quizmaker 2.3, you could have answer submission on submit all at once.  The question s would be bold if not answered ans unbold if they were.

Hi Theresa, I'm sorry, if you choose the navigation method of "Submit all at once," there isn't a visual indicator for learners to see which questions are still unanswered. This would make a great feature request, though!
