Text entry boxes and/or quiz questions across multiple sessions and editable

Hi, Rene -- Thanks for your question! May I ask if you would possibly be able to share the name of the LMS provider you utilize, as there may be others in the community who use the same service and can share some ideas or experiences? 

Also, if you would like learners to be able to access the course and pick up where they left off, you might want to take a look at this information on Changing the Resume Behavior. And to set up the questions themselves, perhaps this info on using a Freeform Text Entry style will do the trick and to make it ungraded, do the following:

If your question doesn't have correct and incorrect responses (i.e., it's a survey question), go to the Question tab on the ribbon and select None from the Score drop-down to make it ungraded. (The answer grid will disappear.)

Hope that helps for what you have in mind! :)

Hi Christie, thanks for your reply and apologies for late reply to you :-)

Maybe I have not described my case/scenario so well. I have tried playing around some more, but are still stuck and maybe there is no solution to it in Storyline today. But let me ellaborate a bit more:

My customer wants their students to write text answers on several slides throughout the course. These answers they want the student to be able to review at a later stage by re-entering the course. The student might want to edit one or several of his replies when re-entering the course, but he should be able to see his replies from last time be able to edit just some of the answers.

So I have tried testing the scenario by using survey > essay slides. In order to maintain the answers from the users, I have set the slides to "Resume saved state", so the users can see their answers when revisiting the essay slide.

Our LMS (which is Docebo by the way) do indeed remember the answers, so that is no problem. But I have no way of letting the users edit their replies in a single essay only. I have seen elsewhere in the community that of course having a result slide and a retake quiz button can do the trick, BUT that will reset ALL their replies. That is not the case I want. I would like to make them able to change just one of a few of their replies, without resetting all the others. 

So I am actually missing a trigger to reset an interaction or letting the slide set to it's original state if clicking a button. 

Hope you understand my problem :-) And by the way, the customer doesn't need to see the answers, and they are not scored. So it is just a matter of giving the user the opportunity to write notes/answers, that they can then view/edit along the way.

Thanks for all your help so far.

Hi Rene!

Data Entry Boxes may be the better way. I've actually not seen a scenario like you've described here, but it sounds like you don't really need to 'submit', but you need more placeholders. 

Hopefully some others will chime in, as Christie mentioned, if they have suggestions as well.

Thanks for the suggestion Leslie. I've tried that and tried to pass variables to the LMS usign the ideas from this post https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/setting-and-getting-multiple-variables-to-from-an-lms-using-articulate-storyline but I can only get it to send the first answers users type in. When I go in the second time and re-types some answers, then exit and go in a third time, then the first answers are still shown because the course is considered completed.

I am going to look into doing it with Google spreadsheets perhaps.

But thanks for your input on the matter. Should anyone come up with a brilliant idea I would be happy to know :-)

Ah, thanks for the clarification Rene. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist you here.
