Resume Saved State after Lightbox

Hi Josh,

Move your change state of triggers in front of your lightbox triggers. Then it will work.

Always Happy to Help.

Adrian,

Perhaps you can help with another issue I'm having with this file. I am pretty sure I am overlooking something (like I did with the triggers above).

In general, I'm creating the Jeopardy game for individual practice (on the honor system) or classroom facilitation. Once the learner clicks an "answer" they click the right ">" icon to jump to the correct "question" slide which is a freeform slide. If they got it correct, they click the green check which is set as the "correct response" and awards the number of points/$ the question was worth. They should click the x to close the lightbox and choose another "answer" from the "board." Each category is treated as a separate quiz with its own hidden/unaccessible Results Slide. I've confirmed that they work correctly.

HOWEVER -here's the problem: I've created a "Total Winnings" slide that should combine the results from all Results Slides and display the total points they were awarded. It seems that the formula/variables (%Results5.ScorePoints%) isn't configured correctly so the total "winnings" keep coming up as 0. 

I've considered pooling the results from each individual question into the "Total Winnings" results configuration but it didnt seem to work either.

What am I missing???

Thanks!

Josh

Hi Josh,

It looks like it's another case of a trigger being out of order. Try moving the submit results trigger to the top. Let me know if that works for you.

Adrian.

Thanks, Adrian. I'm starting to get to the bottom of this. The (embarassing) realization I came to was that, because I was lightboxing the interaction (Pick One), the submit button wasn't there for the learner to click, therefore, they would X out of the lightbox without being forced to submit their answer.

In consideration of your point, I enabled the "Submit" navigation control on the lightboxed slide but it would not close the lightbox, it moved on to the next slide. I also tried manually adding a button to do submit the interaction and THEN close the lightbox - that did the same thing. I reversed that order and it closes the lightbox but doesn't submit the results.

I want to avoid creating 25 separate layers and I like the lightbox feature for these purposes but it seems like it may not be conducive to self-paced/selected assessment like I'm hoping.

Any suggestions?

Hi Josh,

I meant that you move the submit results trigger on the Total Winnings slide above the other triggers. Sorry for the confusion.

Adrian

That worked for the slides that I enabled submitting of the response and, as expected, not for the ones that do not allow them to submit their response. Thanks!

Are we able to allow submission of responses without going to the next question?

Hi Josh,

Take a look at this tutorial. It deals with custom lightbox slides using layers and triggers. That might solve some of your submission issues.

Adrian

Adrian,

I'm familiar with this technique but layers do not allow me to build interactions/submit the interaction/submit results. :(

The problem comes down to wanting to close the lightboxed interaction, submit the interaction, AND ensure the results are submitted for aggregation in the final Results/"Total Winnings" slide.

I'm beginning to think I've hit a dead end :(

I appreciate your diligence and help with this!

Josh
