Storyline Fill in the Blank Questions

Hi Elizabeth,

When setting up your results slide, you can deselect show the "correct/incorrect responses when viewing". They'll still be able to go through and see which ones they got wrong, just not the correct answers. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much Ashley.  Yes, that helped!  Have a great day.

Glad that helped Elizabeth! Hope you have a great day too!

That really isn't a good solution. I've run into the same thing and I have maybe one or two fill in the blank questions among a throng of other type. I want the learner to be able to learn from this. Denying them the opportunity for immediate feedback slows that process down. I"m really surprised that this is the best answer you have.

Hi Carmen,

We're aware of a issue that it looks like you've run up against where the fill in the blank answers are displayed at varying larger sizes, and as such we've reported that to our QA Team for review and I'll include this thread in the report filed with them.

In the meantime, the other option would be to create a customized review layer for just those slides and you can use the article here to help walk you through how to set that up. 

Hi Ashley,

I have a similar problem last year and it's cropped up again in a fill-in-the-blank question. I set up a custom feedback layer, and tried a review layer too. However, another feedback also appears (please see image attached). I wish I could do one of two things: (1) delete this feedback (2) change the font to the smallest possible so that it can just be covered up with another shape in the custom feedback layer. I don't know where this is coming from. I have deleted all objects in all the feedback masters, tried custom masters, etc. There is only one feedback layer, no correct/incorrect layer. I could uncheck show correct answers as an option, but this would not be ideal for my purpose. I also want to retain the shuffling of answers and the green tick marks in the other question types. This seems to be a problem only with fill-in-the-blank questions.

Thanks for any information. Merry Christmas!

Hi Celito

can you upload the story file - it will be easier for someone to help you if they can see how your file is set-up.

Hi Celito,

The "Correct" large text on your slide does seem to match the issue I described above and that we have reported to our QA team for additional review. You can stop it from appearing if you remove the show correct/incorrect feedback as a part of the review functionality from the results slide options. 

Hi Celito,

It looks like you responded via email, and that does include your email signature or previous information in the post, so you're welcome to edit the post and remove that information if necessary. 

Yes, if you remove that functionality it'll change for all your questions slides review feedback. If you're creating a custom review layer, you may need to apply it separately to the slides depending on how the questions are set up. You're welcome to share your working example here so that the community could weigh in and offer alternatives. 

We'll keep you posted here once we have additional information to share from our QA team, but in the meantime, please look at using one of those workarounds. 

Hi Ashley, I did deselect that option in the results slide, but it meant not showing the correct answers for the other question types too. A custom feedback layer is an alternative. However the correct choice had to be anchored for multiple choice questions to show the green check mark in the right spot. In the meantime, I will use other question types as an alternative to fill-in-the-blank where this issue seems to be isolated. Glad to know your QA is on this. Thanks.

Hi Ashley,

I think I may have isolated this a little further. The large font size for the correct response in the fill-in-the-blank question type occurred when I resized the size to 1365x768 (16:9). I don't know what to tweak to adjust this font size accordingly. Anyway it is not as bothersome as I originally thought. Here are two files with different screen sizes. Except for the large font, everything works (display correct answers, shuffle) for the other types.

Thanks Celito for sharing that additional piece of information. So you're not seeing it when setting the story sizeto a 4:3 ratio regardless of size? I see that our team narrowed it down in general to working as expected for screens set to have a lower than 760x570 for 4:3 aspect ratio and lower than 970x546 for 16:9 aspect ratio. You may want to look at changing those settings in the meantime as well.

Hi Ashley,

I notice it's not so much the aspect ratio as the size (width in particular) that increases the font size. I notice a marked increase in size starting at 900 x 675 at 4:3 aspect ratio. Thanks for the update. I'll work around this in the meantime as you suggested.

Thanks Celito - that's a bit bigger than our team found, but if you're able to work up to that size it's likely safe to continue using it as such.
