Submit button dissapearing
Jul 27, 2016
Hey all,
I recently built a course for in house HIPAA training, and it has some quiz functions in it. On the last page of the "scene" (Scene A) , the "correct" layer takes the student to the first slide of a new scene (Scene B) for a different activity.
So far the quiz functions worked great and as designed. But there is always that one student who breaks the system. :)
In this case, the student completed the quiz scene (scene A) . He correctly answered the question and advanced to the new scene (scene B) . In the new "scene", he accidentally hit the "previous button" which took him back to the last question in the previous scene (scene A) .
The problem is this. In this last slide, where there would normally be a "submit button", there are now "previous" and "next" buttons. Normally these are disabled, but for somereason they are now visible, but the "next" button goes...nowhere. The progress in the course stops.
How do we resolve this? How can the student advance without starting the course all over again?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Robert? Steve?
once the user leaves the quiz question and then goes back to it SL views this as a 'review' and then displays the built in Prev / Next buttons so the user can navigate through the quiz. Are you using custom navigation or player nav?
First name Robert, I go by Steve. :)
This happened to a student who was in the published story on his work computer, so player nav?

Can you upload the story file? Hard to say which way to go without seeing your setup.
I'd take the previous button off the first slide in the next scene. If the only way to get there is through the quiz, and this is what happens to anybody who clicks it, it seems to me to serve no useful purpose.
Walt, that is what i have done now. But that doesn't help the student who was going through the course.
Wendy,
We use a seperate LMS/RMS to distribute our .scorm courses. I am not sure how to upload the course so you can look at it.

Hi Steve
I meant your source SL file - you can use the grey Add Attachment button here at the bottom of the forum...it is a public forum so if the project is proprietary or confidential that may not work for you.

Hi Steve
What have you uploaded here then if it's proprietary?
Opps. Deleted. That was operator error. I had attached ti, thought better of it, and thought I unattached it.
Hey Steve,
If you need to share privately you can always reach out to our Support Engineers here.
Steve,
I think this is a known issue with Storyline where the next button breaks if the last quiz question is at the end of a scene. I've had issues with it in the past. Here is a pretty old thread that talks about a work around, but I haven't tried it: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/end-of-scene-quiz-question-next-button-action
The work around that I use involves creating a true/false variable for each question slide that is at the end of a scene. I add a previous and next button to that slide, then set them to hide (so the user doesn't see Submit, Previous, Next all at once) if the variable is false. I use a trigger to set the variable to true on the feedback layers. Then, I set a trigger to show the buttons when the variable changes. That way, when the user returns, they get the fully functional buttons. You only have to do it for the last quiz question in a scene.
