Click based Quiz Results

Hi all!

Is there any way to include number of clicks in quiz results? I'm inserting a simulation into a course and say it should only take 8 clicks to get through it, but the user clicks 16 times to figure it out, is there a way to prompt a failed quiz result?

I've inserted a "failed" layer, triggered by my numeric variable, to appear at the end of the simulation if a user has clicked more than 10 times. But then my quiz layer will appear immediately after, giving me passing results.

Any ideas of what I could do to include these click results in the quiz?

Thanks!

Hi Ashley!

Knowing I had to build a software simulation here in the near future, I actually just built a test simulation .story  by following along with the tutorial on your community site.  I just took the tutorial a step further by continuing to play around by adding a quiz and my numeric variables to track clicks. Needless to say, I never saved the file because it was a practice (bummer), but decided I needed to figure out if there was a way to connect the two (variable & quiz results) since I think it'd be beneficial to utilize for this particular simulation!

I'm able to show the number of clicks a user took on the results slide simply by inserting a text box with the variable reference, but because I can't get the quiz to pass or fail someone based on the number of clicks they take, it does me no good! Not sure there is a solution for this or not....

I appreciate your help though!

Hi Carrie,

Is that the only requirement to passing? You could look at using the variable value to adjust the state of a one question quiz - and pass the results of that to your results slide. It would be the only item tracked, and therefore just a pass/fail type of result. 

What this would look like is:

  1. User needs to click 8 times, every click adds to the variable X 
  2. How ever they advance to the slide - on the dummy question slide set the state of an off stage object to "selected" if the Variable X is equal to 8 
  3. Ensure that slide above, the off stage item is the "correct" answer - and track that slide with a results slide
  4. If the user only clicked 8 times, the "correct" answer is selected and they should appear passed on the results slide. 

It's kind of based on this type of set up - just that you're setting the "selection" based on another variable.
