Text Entries

Hi Donna

see this previous post - particularly the tutorial by Jeannette Brooks where she shows how to use the freeform pick one to evaluate multiple  text entry fields.

Thanks Wendy - We have seen this and used this principle - would it be better for us to attach a file?? This Issue is that the user is asked to list 2 of 4 things -  so they could type the same answer in both and still be correct?? We are looking for a solution to stop them from being able to do this?? :)

Hi Donna, 

Yes, it would be helpful if you could share your file here, or even just the one slide as an example. You can use the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the reply window.

Hey Donna

see if this rough example will help you. I've used a combination of TE variables and T/F variables in the triggers. The Pick One correct/incorrect buttons on stage just for testing.

Correct response returned if:

1. TB1 = apple and TB2 = orange
2. TB1 = orange and TB2 = apple

Incorrect response returned if:

• TB1 = apple and TB2 = apple
• TB1 = orange and TB2 = orange
• TB1 and TB2 have any other entries but points 1 and 2 above

Hope this helps or gives you an idea for your project

Okay, Here is an example of the Quiz working - it involves partial scoring -  but in this example you can type in the same word in both boxes and get two points....

Here is the attempt to get it working - we had tried something similar to your example Wendy - but it doesn't work - not sure what we have done wrong - could you have a look??

The answers in both files are - Time, Effort, Money, cost, Inconvenience

Hi Donna

so you requirement is

MC quiz type not the pick one because of scoring?

What are the two correct answers?

Thanks Wendy!! - to confuse things further - there are four correct answers - They have to list two of the four factors....

Time, Effort, Money, Cost, Inconvenience

 All of these have two options one with a capital letter one without - does that make sense??

And yes MC so we can do partial scoring..... :( I wish clients knew that sometimes their seemingly simple requests really aren't!!! 

Hi Donna

Sorry I misunderstood i thought there was a list of four and only two were correct but now you're saying there are four correct answers - you have five in your list so which one is incorrect?

Sorry I am being unclear and confusing!!! full of a head cold!! - All of them are correct - I can't count today - five answers....

Hi Donna

are you displaying a list of possible answers on the slide that the learner has to select from to type in or do they just need to know these are the five possible answers?

Do you have any distractor words you are using?

Nope, the question simply states - List two of the four considerations when reducing risk so far as is reasonably practicable:

So they need to know it... This is the question from the examining body unfortunately :( I can make multiple response questions, and drag and drop questions with the partial scoring that they are insistent on, but this text entry has me stumped - in so far as preventing the user from scoring two points by entering the same answer twice.

So just the question, and two boxes to type into - The MC will be hidden underneath...

Money and cost  are just two ways of saying  the same answer really - that is why it states four and got me so confused!!

HOORAY!! - I think I have fixed my own problem..... see attached file - it now subtracts a point if the two text entries equal each other!!

However.... is there a way to get it to reset if a users changes their mind and deletes the entered text??

Thanks for your Help Wendy!!

Great news Donna - sorry I missed your reply post above. Glad you got it sorted and good luck with your project!
