Text Entry with Keyword Feedback

Nov 29, 2016

I am looking to convert a course from an outside authoring platform to Storyline 360. One question in the course requires students to type in a response; if the response contains certain key words or phrases, they will receive specific feedback.

For some context, I'm working on a medical course that takes students through simulated cases. In one case, the student must ask the "virtual patient" a question. The question must contain one of the following words: appetite, hunger, hungry, eat. If their question contains one of those words, they will receive the following "feedback" from the patient: "I am not hungry at all. I don't even think I could eat my favorite food if you put it in front of me."

Does Storyline 360 have this capability? It looks like the Text Entry option from Quizzing only functions if the student's response matches the answers exactly.

Hi there Rachel! You're correct, answers must exactly match one of the options that you list in the 'Acceptable Answers' window. But I certainly think a keyword-match feature like you describe would be something that lots of Storyline users could benefit from. Would you mind sharing your perspective here as a feature request?
