Hi Everyone, I'm hoping for some help with a simulation I have developed. I have opted to have 3 different scenarios for students to navigate, choosing only 1 of the 3 options. However, I have found that even though the student can navigate through the single option when they get to the Summary Results slide they can only achieve a maximum of 50% when they answer all questions correctly. Can anyone offer advice on where I might have gone wrong?
There are 4 multiple choice questions common to all students, followed by a slide which allows students to self select an experimental scenario (based on a photosynthesis experiment they can chose to manipulate light intensity, chloroplast concentration or the wavelength of light). Each of these scenarios has a further 4 questions which are specific to each scenario. Students only see 1 scenario at a time but the simulation is able to be viewed multiple times so they have the option to view all if they choose to. I have set the pass mark at 25%.
won't the results be skewed if you have one student who does only one scenario and one who does all three? Are the results being sent to an LMS?
You may be better off having a result slide after each set of 4 questions and then combining the score of the result slides instead of selecting individual questions. You might need to fudge the result slides with 100% if the learner doesn't attempt them so that the combined score works. Depends on your reporting requirements how this will work.
See this tutorial for more information specifically:
Combine points from each quiz: Select this option if you want the scores from all tracked result slides to be added together as the final score for the course, then enter a percentage in the Passing Score field. In this scenario, a learner could fail one or more of the individual quizzes and still pass the overall course.
Tip: When combining multiple result slides into a master result slide, learners will need to visit each of the tracked result slides to complete the course. Otherwise, the course status will be marked incomplete.
That's very helpful, thank you! I'll give it a try.
In this instance the students have unlimited goes at the simulation with the idea being they get 100% before attending a lab in person. It would be great if they try all the different options before attending a lab but I know they are pressed for time just like the rest of us :)

Hi Narelle
can you upload your .story file might be easier for someone to help if they can see the setup.
Perhaps give us a little more information.
Hi Wendy,
Yes, of course!
