Single Text Entry Interaction & Hotspot

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Tara!

Not quite sure how you'd be able to do this on the same slide. You could try triggering a freeform hotspot question, though. Maybe when the user clicks on a custom button or the "Submit" button? 

Excellent question, though. I may have to try this out. Would love to see some input and suggestions from the community on this!

Welcome again, Tara! :)

Thank you!   My current attempt is to have the text field entry interaction 'submit' when a user clicks a hotspot over the desired button.  So this works great for evaluating the field....but this fails to provide any interaction feedback for the target click.   

Good morning Tara! I hope you had a great weekend :)

Correct, if you remove the link from the default "Submit" button and use a hotspot, you'll need to manually trigger the "Correct" and "Incorrect" feedback layers, or create custom feedback. 

I hope that makes sense :)

Hope you're having a great day!

Thank you!  I played around with it some more today and came up with the following. 

Slide 1.1 is assessing a text entry free form question upon the click of a hotspot (appearing over the ideal"search" button).  If the learner enters the correct text AND clicks the correct hotspot/search button, the story goes to the appropriate results slide (1.3).  I did this by setting a trigger on the correct slide layer to automatically jump to slide 1.3 when the timeline on that correct feedback layer begins. 

If the learner misses the text entry, the incorrect feedback layer will deviate the learner to click through to an alternate slide (1.2), which tests the learner on clicking the correct search button (a hotspot freeform question).  After this one-click sim,the results slide (1.3) would be next.

Using the correct layer on slide1.1 was possible for this solution because we do not normally use the correct feedback layer.  We normally just advance the learner upon correct click/entries.

Good morning Tara,

That looks great! Very nice job. 

I really like branching a user when they've failed a question. It's a great opportunity to ensure they understand the course material and may even improve their success with the questions that follow. 

Good luck with the project and have a great day, Tara :)

I understand this is an old thread, but I had test mode quiz with a similar instance and I thought I should share. One option with a pull-down, another with a text input, both eventually ending up in the same place. Though, the text input option in this case in a more direct option for the simulation that allows for a couple steps to be skipped. 

Since, in this case, the text entry box and the pull down menu are separate, my solution was to place a box shape over the text entry field, that would trigger to a text entry slide to branch in its separate path.
