I've recently completed my first Articulate Storyline project, a series of mini-quizzes that are hosted in Blackboard. An issue has been found, in which the students are unable to switch answer choices on some questions prior to clicking submit. Instead, two choices become selected and the SCORM object marks the response wrong once submitted.
I have been fixing the problem by copying one of the slides that works well, and just changing the text. But it would be helpful to know what the issue is. And, out of curiosity, to know how to find out what version of SL I'm using!
here are the release notes for SL360 so you can decide if you are going to update to latest release
First thing I notice with this Multiple choice (one selection allowed) slide is that it is allowing more than one item to be selected
When I checked this slide there is no button set selected - which is where the issue lies
This is question 2 which has the correct option selected - see the tick next to multiple choice.
So what you need to do is highlight the four responses in the first question > right click > tick Multiple Choice. This means only one button can be selected at any time which is the meaning of a multiple choice question.
Thank for the detailed response, I really appreciate it. I have been making these changes throughout the document.
There is another slide with an issue- a Multiple Response slide, the first slide in this module.
Although I have three responses checked as correct, the "Correct" answer doesn't come up when they are selected. I've looked at the button set, but Multiple Response doesn't come up as an option. Additionally, when the slide publishes, the box shading around some of the questions goes away.
The button set doesn't apply to a Multiple Response question because you want the user to be able to select more than one option...so that is correct.
I see you have a custom submit button which is unassigned but the player (default) submit button is also active...which one did you want to use to submit the interaction?
thank you! Wendy's reply was very helpful, she got right to the problem!
I've encountered a similar problem in a Multiple Response slide, but can't change the button set b/c I'm not prompted for Multiple Response. See below if that is not clear. It is the first Quiz slide in M6.
Hmm- it seems that I'm not able to delete the Continue trigger in the Player. There's also an issue with the boxes that hold the answers- the fill area of 3 out of 5 disappears when the slide is published or previewed!
can you share the latest file that you are having issues with or is it the one posted above?
What continue trigger in the player - can you share a screenshot. There shouldn't be a player continue trigger it should be an object trigger on one of the feedback layers unless I misunderstand.

Hi Elizabeth
can you share the source SL file and let us know which version/update you are using.
Thanks for your quick response! Attached is one of the problem files. It is the first question that I identified as problematic.
I'm working in Storyline 360, not sure what version but I downloaded it from the website within the last few months.

Please let me know what you think.
Hi Elizabeth,
It looks like Wendy has you covered here with your slide.
You can check your Storyline version by going to:

thanks again! I'll check on these points!

I will make a new post about the issue in Module 6.
