Resetting a quiz slide after going to a remediation slide
Jan 24, 2013

I am redesigning an annual training module to allow a student to test out if they know the material. What I am trying to do is create a quiz, and if the student answers a question correctly, they go to the next question. However, if they get the question wrong, instead of going to the next question, they are sent to a slide or series of slides with the content to review the material. When they click on the next button after the review, they are sent back to the quiz question to attempt it again.
How would I reset the question slide so they can reattempt to get the question correct so then they can move onto the next question in the quiz? I have the quiz in one scene and the remedial material in another scene.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Are you using a button or other object to return the user to the slide with the quiz? If so, you could attach the triggers that a normal "Retry" quiz button would provide.
It would look something like this:
Let me know if this works for you!
Also wanted to mention you may be able to tie this to the "Next" button, as well. Sorry I forgot to mention that
Thanks Christine. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

Hi Christine,
I got it to work, thanks so much.
Here is another question, and probably more complicated. As shown below, if the student gets the question wrong, they go to the remedial content, then after review they go back to the quiz (like before), but if they get it wrong, it takes them to the next question, and the process goes on until the end when they get a score of the questions they get correct.
So basically, they get one shot for remediation and one retake. So in this scenario, I can't really reset the results slide, I just need to reset the each quiz question for another try if needed.
Is this possible?

Good morning Kevin!
Just curious, have you tried just leaving out the reset for the results slide and providing the "Jump to" for the quiz? It obviously won't reset the results, but I'm wondering if this would work for you.
I haven't tested this yet, but just a thought I had while looking over your last post.
I hope you had a great weekend!
Christine
I did try that - jumping back to the question, but it is locked with the previous answer that I put in and I can't change it - bummer.
Weekends go way too fast!
Hi Kevin,
I totally agree! I think weekends are far too short
Any chance you can share your project here, or maybe a mock-up? I'm not sure how large your current project is, but if it's not too large it may post here. Maybe I can take a look and see if we can get it to behave the way you'd like.
Hey, Kevin -
You can do this but you'll need to put each question (or set of questions you want to reset) into its own bank. This allows you to reset the results.
See the example attached here:

This isn't doing exactly what you're looking for but the logic to send to remediation is similar.
Thanks Steve, I will take a look at it.
Christine, I tried uploading the file here. I paired it down to 2 questions and took out the audio, but at 4megs, it just won't load.
Kevin
Sorry, I guess it did load.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the file! Steve is right, actually. Have you had a chance to try that out? Looks like it would be perfect for you.
Let me know how it goes! I'd love to see the finished product.
Christine
I will try it as soon as I can. Had a couple LMPs (last minute projects) dropped in my lap. I will keep you posted.
Thanks so much.

Hi Christine,
Using Steve's information, I created a small quiz like the one I sent previously with the following functions:
If a student gets a question wrong, they are sent to the associated content slide. When they click on the next button, they go back to the quiz question to retake it. If the get it wrong again, the results slide appears saying they got it wrong, then it goes to the next question automatically. If they get it right, it takes them directly to the next question. The final results slide calculates the total from the two questions.
It seems to work fine for the two questions I have, but is there an easier (read faster) way to do this - especially if there is a quiz with a lot of questions?
Thanks Christine and Steve for all of your help.

Kevin
Hey, Kevin -
There isn't a built in remediation function. I think it would be a popular feature and is worth a feature request
Steve
Hi Steve and Kevin,
First, I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I'm very happy to see that Steve was able to give you some awesome information (he usually does!) that helped you out.
I totally agree with Steve, that would be a fantastic feature request!
Thanks and I hope you both have a great day!
Christine
A good post, Just need it!
I submitted the feature request.
Thanks to all.

Hi Kevin, I'm a beginner Quizmaker'13 user. I'm really interested in understanding how you achieved resetting a quiz slide after going to a remediation slide. This is exactly what I want to do. Unfortunately due to my lack of knowledge I didn't understand the explanations given by Christine about using a trigger even after I made a lot of searching on triggers. I do not use a button nor any objects, just regular question slides and a blank slide that I use as the remediation slide. My problem is that I cannot re-submit an answer when I'm revisiting a question slide that I had previously visited and given a wrong answer. I understand this is normal because the number of attempt for that question is set to 1. But I need to keep it set to 1 and be able to retake that question after I went to the remediation slide. Could please explain to me how you achieved it with as much detail as possible or screen captures if you can, whatever help would me very much appreciated. Thank you Kevin and everybody.

Hi Jone,
Unfortunately, you can't do what you want in Quizmaker - that I know of anyway. The triggers and resetting the quiz slide was done in Storyline.
Sorry,
Kevin
Thanks Kevin. I was able to do it in Storyline. Thanks to all
