Use the hot spot quiz template or build from scratch?

Good morning: 

Storyline 360. Working on an interactive quiz-type slide that contains an image and three short questions with options YES and No.

Here's the challenge:

 

  • Learner must answer each question by selecting YES or NO.
  • Feedback appears immediately.
  • No scoring.
  • No correct/incorrect.
  • NEXT button doesn't activate until the learner has made a selection for each of the three questions.

I've attached a PNG of the slide.

 

I started out with the Hot Spot quizzing template, then went to the Pick Many template. It seems to me that neither one allows me to meet all the requirements. So my question is: Should I forget the quiz templates entirely and just use triggers, layers, and a variable for the Submit button? Or is there some way to use one of the quiz templates? 

TIA!

Given your requirements, I wouldn't even consider a quiz template.

Given this:

you've already got most of the planning done. One thing I do if the feedback is really short is to put it on a layer with a short timeline, and set it to hide when the timeline finishes.

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. 

Now I'm struggling with the variable for activating the Next button. I have the Next button disabled as the timeline starts. I want its State to change to Normal after the learner has selected one or more answers to each of the three questions. It doesn't matter whether they selected YES or NO - just that each question got responded to. I created a variable called VariableProceed for that. So I'm thinking the trigger should start out something like "Change state of Next Button to Normal   When VariableProceed changes   If Variable Proceed = value True." 

But I'm unclear about how to set up the conditions. The condition would be that the user has clicked at least one response to each question.  So far, I'm thinking it should be: "and the state of Full YES = Visited OR the state of Full NO = Visited and the state of Align YES is visited OR the state of Align NO is Visited" and so on for each of the three questions. 

Am I on the right track? 

TIA -

I'd prefer  three variables, one each for full, available, and signed. Use whatever action hides the feedback layers for full to set fullVariable to True. If you don't wait until the layer hides, the third one won't be seen. Then on the base, put a trigger to change Next to Normal when fullVariable changes if availableVariable = true, and signedVariable = true. etc.

What did I leave out?

You need one of these triggers with appropriate changes for each of the three variables:

 

I included an X button on the feedback layers to hide them. But the X button isn't available when I try to set the FullVariable to True.

Use the two triggers (with appropriate changes) shown in AlignVar.png, one on each layer.
