Surveys: Short Answer - more than 1 on Slide

Jan 10, 2014

I'm creating a survey (short answer) to capture participants email and the state in which they live (which will be used, if they choose to opt in, for periodic updates & newsletters.)

I want users to be able to enter their email and their state on the same page.  (Without having to add a new Survey slide to capture their state only.)

I'm fairly new to Storyline and have just spent a huge gap of time away from it.  Jumping in with both feet now and on deadlines!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kim,

Welcome to the community and welcome back to Storyline!

I THINK I know how to achieve this, so I thought I'd jump in to get the conversation started. I know staff will jump in also to confirm/correct when the weekend is over, and I'm sure other community members will contribute as well.

I'm basing the attached on this Storyline support page: How to send the value of a variable to an LMS

Since the instructions are there, I won't repeat them. But you'll see that there are 4 slides:

The "please tell us how you felt about the course" slide

The 2 extra (blank) short answer survey slides that are needed in order to report your email and state variables to an LMS. These are hidden to the Learner.

The results slide that actually does the reporting to the LMS

The "Real" Survey Slide 

I inserted two new text entries, one for email and one for state on the first survey slide (the please tell us how you felt)

Hidden Survey Slides

For the 2 extra (blank) short answer slides I followed the directions

Results Slide

For the Results Slide, I included references to the email and state variables so Learners can double-check their entries. The Review Quiz button brings them back to the survey slide where (I tested) they can change their responses if they made a mistake.

Per the directions, this Results slide is tied to all 3 short answer survey questions.

Please shout out with any questions.

I have a similar questionI think.

i've created 4 Survey questions which require users to input a written response. However I'm not able to assign a correct answer or find a way to review these results once uploaded to my LMS. The only things that seem to work are the straight forward graded questions, but we want to test the way our users write

Thanks for the reply!

I think I finally figured it all out about an hour after I posted my
comment. We're hoping to utilise mostly short answer types which I am now
aware cannot be auto graded.

And yes, I'm currently working with my LMS provider to try and get more
from the Articulate results in their platform. Always nice to hear from
another Ashley Thanks!
