Hi everyone, I was taking a few moments to view some sample e-learnings and ran a cross a very cool fill in the blank type question. I am uploading a screen capture of what this looks like. Basically, you click on the number or letter across the bottom to answer the question. As you do, the letters fall into place. This has awesome sound effects as well. I would love to know how this was created. Has anyone ever done anything like this?
Hi Pamela, sure, happy to help. Which Articulate product(s) do you have? And can you say a little more about what you want to do with the information the learner types in? Are you wanting to build something like a fill-in-the-blank quiz question? Or something else?
I am working in Storyline and wish to have an area where the student can enter non-graded information. On the previous slide, I am telling the student what to enter, then reinforcing by having the student do it as well. Does this make sense?
Yes, that totally makes sense, Pamela! I'd recommend taking a look at this tutorial, which explains how to add a Freeform Text Entry slide: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/text-entry.aspx When you set up your question, you can tell Storyline which answers are acceptable entries, and the feedback you want to provide for a correct or incorrect answer. If you don't want to score the question, you can just turn scoring off. Hope that helps!
You sure can. You can add whatever characters, images, etc. to your slide that you want. You could even have movies, shapes, animations, audio... pretty much the sky's the limit.
It sounds like you are on the feedback layer and not the base layer of the slide. In the slide layer pane, click on the base layer. If that doesn't help, would you mind attaching a screenshot of what you are seeing?
Yeah, I figured out how to add a text entry to a layer. It's called insert data entry. I feel so silly. Now if you can help me with the feed master that is on the slide that I uploaded, my presentation will be complete.
in the screenshot you posted, the slide is grayed out because you are currently viewing the "Incorrect" feedback layer. See how that layer is highlighted yellow in the layer pane? You need to click the base layer of the slide (where the arrow is pointing in the picture below) in order to view the base layer:

That is one of the learning games built into Articulate.
Can you tell me more? I know it is built into Articulate, but any ideas how they made this happen?
Nobody really uses them for some reason. But this is where you would find them.
I am trying to put an area in a slide that the student can type into. Can anyone help me with this?

Jeanette,
So once I have developed a quiz fill in the blank, do I build by slide around it using characters etc?
Pamela
You sure can. You can add whatever characters, images, etc. to your slide that you want. You could even have movies, shapes, animations, audio... pretty much the sky's the limit.
Jeanette,
Wonderful!! Thank you so much. Now how do I get a greyed out slide to show. My eyes are open on both my layers and timeline. I am stumped.

Janette,
One other thing, Where the edit slide usually is in the uphand right corner, It now says feedback master. Does this help?

Jeanette,
I hope the file uploaded. I don't see it here, but it appeared to work.

Jeanette,
One other question about the writing on a slide. Where I want to have the student write is in a layer not on a new slide. Can this be done?
