Random and questions bank always the same ???

Oct 04, 2017

Hello

I created a question bank with 22 questions.

I chosed to ask only one 3 questions randomized, but the most of time it's always the same. Could you explain me the problem.

If a go back to an another slide with the same question bank I got always the same questions too. I don't understand.

I put the option to RESUME for all question at new visit and it seems doesn't work

Thanks for your answer

Hi Stephane, 

A quick update for you here - the issue we've previously discussed where a Question draw always show the same set of questions on quiz retry during fourth and succeeding attempts is something our team has earmarked for the next update of Storyline 360 which is due soon. Once that update is available, we'll post here to let folks know.

That also means the next update of Storyline 3 scheduled for later this quarter will include this fix.

Thanks!

As chiefy . mentions earlier in this thread, untill Articulate fix this problem, (Who knows when, as they have not replied to my question asking that) the best/safest approach is probabaly to create your own random question bank. At least now that 360 has a random number variable you do not need to use JS.

You can then also track which numbers have been selected and remove them from the random number choice.

As I mentioned earlier you don't need JS, you can do it all with variables.

I must use Javascript since I do not want to show again and again the questions that have been already answered by the learner. As reported in this thread I have to use JS to assure that random numbers already drawn are not re-picked. Do you have any other solution to solve this issue?

You can achieve the same using variables, once a question number has been selected using the random number varaible, the question's id variable changes from false to true. When the random number variable selects another question number, if that question's id variable is true, add 1 to the random number, etc.

Yes it requires quite a few variables, but does not require JS.
