I am looking for some kind of document that provides a brief description of the various quiz question types available in Storyline to provide a SME who is new to writing assessment questions for elearning. Does such a thing exist? I've been all over this site and Googled my fingers off and can't seem to find anything like it.
Thanks, Christie. I did see all those tutorials, but they're not quite what I'm looking for because my SME won't be using Storyline to actually build the quiz and I don't want to overload him with unnecessary information. I was hoping for a document that provides a brief description of each question type in one place. When you click a question type on the Insert Slides screen, you get a description to the right explaining it. Having all those brief descriptions in one document would be helpful as a resource to my SME who doesn't have access to Storyline and is new to creating quiz questions. I'm trying to help him move past multiple choice and true/false. I can explain the different types to him or just create the cheat sheet myself, but was hoping it was something that already existed.
Hi, Heather -- I reached out to our in-house documentation specialist, and was informed that unfortunately, the type of question style cheat sheet you are looking for does not currently exist. Hopefully you are able to compile what you need based on the descriptions within Storyline.
I'd also love to see a "cheat sheet" for assessment types to pass onto SME's - especially one that is kept up to date with new and fun things that Storyline offers. Noting that this thread is about a year old - I don't suppose anything like this has been published?
Sure - you can add media elements to a quiz slide! Can you share a little more about what you're looking to set up and then we can help track down examples?

Hi Allison,
Nothing new like this has been published, but we also haven't added any new question types within Storyline since the last answer here.
Hello,
Can audio or video files be included in quizzes as part of an assessment?
Thank you,
Leah
Hi Leah,

I found a 2-part article from CommLab India that describes the Graded question types.
In the absence of official documentation from Articulate, it meets the need that users have identified.
Part 1: https://blog.commlabindia.com/elearning-development/built-in-question-types-in-articulate-storyline
Part 2: https://blog.commlabindia.com/elearning-development/built-in-question-types-in-articulate-storyline-part2
This may also work for you.
