Hello - i've seen similar threads, but didn't find what i was looking for.
i have a slide for learners to choose between 'review answers before submitting' or 'submit for results'. the ask from our customer is whether we can include on the slide just before submission which questions or how many were skipped - or even just the ability to note you've left at least one question unanswered.
Is there a variable that tells me which questions do/don't have an answer selected?
Also - it may be relevant that the questions are being drawn from a set of question banks using random draw for each bank (one bank per module of the course), so there are a bunch of draw slides, and then the 'are you sure you are ready slide'.
this is intended to be a file that other developers will use to create quizzes for courses, so as much as possible, i want to build something that limits how much 'redo' work there is when you build it for a new set of question banks.
I am looking forward to what others in the community will suggest for your scenario, hoping for an easier solution!
One way I can see this being done, which will depend on the types of questions included in your quiz, is to use a variable that counts if the question has been answered or not.
If it's a multiple-choice or True/False, you can set the variable to a value of 1 if none of the radio boxes are selected when the user clicks next:
On the last slide, before the user can submit, you can add all the variables to a total (in the example below, it's called number):
If you're using a random question draw, you will need to do this for every question on the question bank, and at the end, you will still need to add all the questions since you don't know which ones will be used.
For example: if the question bank has ten questions, but you're only drawing five, your slide needs to add "Question1, Question2,...Question10".
Here's an example of what it would look like in Preview:
Thanks yes! this aligns with what i was thinking. Holding off for now because of the amount of individual work. The act of doing the check on each radio button or check box on each question seems like it might be a challenge to make sure every question is set properly and test - high chance of human error :). I don't see anyway to incorporate this into the slide master layout.
If our customer feels strongly enough about having it i think i will use this approach. Thanks!
