Retake quiz - how to reset answers

Hi Ashley,

I'm having the same issue that Sauptik had, although I haven't been able to find a solution for retaking the course and simultaneously resetting the answers. I have a trigger to reset the answers on a button titled 'Retake Course', but it doesn't work, even in preview. Please advise.

Best,

A.

Hi!

Do you have a variable that resets the Results slide when the user clicks Retake and/or Restart? See the variable highlighted below.

Maybe you would have to have this variable for both buttons? The variable for “retry” might be automatically programmed by Storyline, but you may have to program the Restart button manually.

Let me know if this helps!

Hi Sauptik,

Thanks for your reply. Would you mind if I emailed you?

A.

Sure, no problem!

Hi A! Looks like Sauptik has jumped in to assist you. Just let us know if you need our assistance with anything. 

Thanks Sauptik for paying it forward by assisting here :)

Hi Leslie,

Actually, I'm still having the issue. Any advice?

Hi A

can you upload your story file here - easier for someone to help you if they can see your setup. Just use the Add attachment button at the bottom of the post.

HI A

that's the published file - can you upload the SL source file so we can see how it's setup

Hi A

I just ran through your published course. I passed Quiz 1 and intentionally failed Quiz 2.  I clicked the 'Retake Quiz' button and it allowed me to retake the quiz.  The quiz questions were reset.  What is the actual issue you are having and does it happen with both quizzes or just one.

Oops! I removed the 'retake course' buttons when I finalized the draft. Here is the version with the buttons re-inserted.

The issue is that the quiz results are not resetting if users click the 'Go back to course' button, even though there is a trigger for that action.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hey,

I think I found the issue with the course. 

In both the cases you have used a TEXT BOX' to build the trigger 'Go back to part _'. The reset of the quiz I guess doesn't happen until you use a 'BUTTON' to trigger it. Seems to be working after I replaced it with a button.

Let me know1

Thanks A, for sharing the file here with us. I think in regards to the "GoBack to Part" is that the trigger to reset the results is after the trigger to jump to that particular slide. Trigger order for those type of things is crucial, so you'll want to ensure that triggers to reset or adjust variables occur before triggers to jump to slides or layers. 

Hi Ashley-- correctly ordering the triggers resolved the issue! Thanks so much. And thank you Wendy, Leslie and Sauptik for your help as well.

Ah, so happy to hear it A! You'll see more information about trigger order here, and you'll always want to check the order in which you're looking at executing the triggers. 

Can you share how to set up a trigger to reset the responses to retake the quiz after restarting the course?  I'm not finding a trigger option to reset the responses

Hi Hannah,

Have you looked at using the built in "reset" button from a results slide? That will include a trigger to reset the results and allow a user to retake the questions and change their score (for better or worse). 

Hi Hannah!

There is a built in option via the result slide to allow the user to retry the quiz that will set this trigger up for you.

Here's what it looks like:

Hi all- Stumbled across this while trying to set up an option for users to retake quiz question if you don't have a results screen.  Tried allowing slide to be reset each time but then they get unlimited tries.  I want users to get two tries and then later be able to go back to the quiz and take it.  Any ideas?  I've attached the slide in question. 

Hi Joni,

I wanted to confirm what you're looking to see:

- while on the slide you'd like the user to answer it twice, and if incorrect after the second attempt they'll move on to the next slide
- the user should be able to return to the question slide and have it reset to allow for two more attempts? 

You'll need to track this using variables for the initial set up, and then based on them revisiting the slide, the slide properties will need to be "reset to initial state" to allow for the additional attempts. You may want to look at this forum discussion where it's shown (just using a drag and drop question) but the same principles will apply in terms of the variables. Also it looks like you added some additional triggers to prevent the user from changing their answer and also basing submission on a different state? That left me a bit confused as those states don't co-exist and would be in contrast with one another. I wasn't sure your intent there, but you may want to take a look at the defintions of the built in states and how they'll all behave here. 

Ashley-  THANK YOU!  It worked!  I also got rid of the wonky stuff you mentioned with the states.  Don't know what they were doing there in the first place. 

Thank you so much.  You a so great at your job and I really appreciate your help on all of this.  If you're even in Madison, WI, I owe you a beer! 

Thanks again-  Joni

Also, they should provide an avatar option where the person looks totally stressed out.  I'm never this calm looking while designing courses. 

Whew! That one threw me for a loop based on your other triggers, so I'm glad I got you in the right direction. I'll certainly let you know if I end up in Madison...I've never actually been to WI. :)

Haha! I'll also  tell our team about the need for change in avatars. Hopefully the smiling, carefree avatar is how you feel when you leave ELH for the day?
