Show quiz status on menu page in course

Aug 01, 2014

Hi,

I'm looking for a nudge in the right direction on my scenario, which I've nearly got working how I want but not quite.

It's a simple course with 3 topics in it, which each have a test and I've built a menu page showing all the topics and an indicator for each which is to change if they've not started test / failed / passed the test.

What I'd like is that once the user fails/passes topic 1 the icon/text changes on the menu page to reflect where they are in the course and shows the correct status before they move onto other topics.

e.g. I've attempted this by a change state trigger which have a variable that if the score is < 80% the status of the icon/text changes to failed. This works fine but what I've noticed is when I first play the menu page even though the test has not been started it knows the test score is < 80% and immediately shows the failed text/icon.

What else am I missing for it not to recognise the test has not been attempted?

As I say I think I'm close to solving it but could do with some expert advice.

Thanks

How about this:

  • Variable quizFail t/f set as false
  • Trigger in Fail section of Quiz Results Slide to adjust variable quizFail to True when the timeline starts
  • Trigger on menu to change the image for the section if quizFail is True

Then if you want it to change the image in a different way when you pass a section, do the same with the Pass section of the quiz results slide.

Thank you both for your quick responses. Both approaches work fine and I've gone with Chris's approach so I can change the menu item for both pass & fail pages.

Where I was going wrong was I'd done this approach with the true or false variable but used the timeline starts variable on the question layer rather than the correct/incorrect layers.

Appreciate your ideas. Thanks and have a great weekend!
