TIP: Give Partial Credit on Multiple Response Questions

Nicely explained and well done.

Thanks, Owen.

I tried to anticipate the questions someone might have about the programming. Hence all the "Notes" slides. 

It's not pretty, but it works.  :-)

very interesting solution - so many tricks for something that should actually be included in storyline (without tricks)

I understand why Articulate doesn't include this functionality.

There are so many possible variations, especially related to the responses that shouldn't be selected. For example, I added points if the user didn't select a wrong answer. Some developers might want to subtract points if a user does select a wrong answer. Or not use the state of the wrong answer at all when figuring points. 

It could also get tricky if you want all questions to be worth a given number of points (for example, 10 points). Then how do you divvy up the points when there are 3 or 4 responses? 

Personally, I've never given partial credit for a Multiple Response question, and I doubt I ever will. I only created the demo because I've seen people ask about this a few times in the Forum.

And if someone wants to use this trick, it's up to them to figure out how they want the scoring to work.  :-)

Very cool, thank you for sharing!

I hope it's helpful. 😃

FYI: Disguised multiple-choice questions could also be used to track answers to types of questions that can't be graded by Storyline. For example, if a question needs to evaluation multiple text-entry answers. Or for situations where more than one answer is correct, but the user only needs to pick one (as described in this post: TIP: Create a "Pick One" Question with Multiple Correct Answers - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes).
