Using triggers to prompt learner

Oct 16, 2013

Hi all!  I have a storyline course that i have written that involves a multiple choice quiz drawn from a question bank. A couple of the questions have tripped learners up as they have more than one answer. I would like to create a trigger so that a layer appears when the learner only enters one response prompting them that they need to choose more than one response.  What is the best way to do this?

Hi Kirsty,

Whilst I agree that it is a good idea to provide a prompt advising the user that there are more than one correct options, I would personally avoid the use of triggers on an MRQ as I feel this creates unnecessary work.

The simplest way I have found to provide a prompt is to include it on screen after the question text. For example: "Select two options from the list below and then click on submit."

If you really want to have this prompt on a layer, I'm sure it can be achieved and I'm sure myself or someone else will be able to provide an example.
