Some questions about question banks and the menu

Nov 29, 2012

Hello, 

For my course, I must show the title of the questions in the menu, and the questions must be in random. So I use Question Banks, but in the menu I don't see the title of the questions but the 'Draw from...'. Do you know how to do it?

And I have another questions, I have to show the questions' title only after the user click on a button. Do you know how to modify the menu with a trigger ?

Hi Sebastien,

You can include your question bank slide titles in the menu if you want. On the Home tab, click Player, and then click Menu. Find your question bank slide in the list, and you'll see a little gear icon to its right. Click that, and you'll have an opportunity to "Show Slide Draw Contents." If you've randomized questions in your question bank, the titles in the menu will appear in whatever order the slides are displayed to your learner.

Regarding your other question about displaying the titles only under certain circumstances, there isn't currently a way to do that, but it would be a great feature request. In the meantime, here's one thing that might help: if you don't want to show the contents of the question bank until learners reach that portion of the course, you could arrange your menu such that the question bank is within its own section (i.e., indented) and then use the technique shown here to keep the section condensed till learners get to it. (Learners could still, however, click on the triangle in the menu to expand the section at will.)

I hope that helps!

Yes, it's exactly what I needed! But, I have a problem since I use it: the menu seems to bug. If I have the menu on the left, it doesn't appears at all, I see the box where it should have been : 

And, if I put the menu in the top of the player, it can't stop l oading it : 

and it never stop loading.

Have you any idea ?
