Hi all! I'm curious what others use in place of "Correct" and "Incorrect" for the feedback slide header. I'd like to use a friendly tone, so went with a simple "That's right!" for the correct layer but can't seem to come up with anything appropriate for the incorrect.
I've considered just providing the feedback without a header on the incorrect slide, but am not satisfied with the inconsistency of correct having a header and incorrect not.
This is a great question Bethany glad you followed my suggestion to post it here in the community!
I sometimes keep it simple and leave the term Incorrect.
Also, like Allison, I often use "That's not quite right!" or something along those lines.
Sometimes I don't even use a specific keyword and instead use indicators other than text to let the learner know if they are right or wrong.
For example...
Using red accent color for incorrect and green accent color for Correct (although it's recommended to not do ONLY this, for color-blind learners)
Using a check-mark for correct and an X for incorrect is also a good way to provide feedback that immediately lets learner know if they are right or wrong, without using text.
Another thing I do use characters and let their facial expressions show if the answer is right or wrong.
Finally, often when I write feedback for scenarios I start more with a sentence that describes the outcome of that choice. For example: "The client is upset." or "You lost the sale!"
Anyways, those are a few tips from me. I'm also interested to see what others in the community have to say!
I like to use the Wingdings 2 capital P and capital O, which are an "X" and a checkmark for wrong and right to give correct/incorrect feedback without text sometimes. When I use text, I do often use phrases like "That's not quite right" for the incorrect feedback header.
In addition to the above suggestions, I also include an audio feedback tone ... "bing" for correct and "burr" for incorrect. This lets them know immediately if they got the correct answer or not. Our users seem to like it. The idea comes from game shows on TV.
