I'm trying to create pop-up quiz questions at random spots in a video for an e-learning platform my company is building. However, other than trying to trigger Graded Quizzes, I'm not sure how to do this. Even when I can get a question to pop up, it takes many steps and the video doesn't continue playing after the correct answer is submitted. Any ideas on how to make this process easier?
Just to clarify, are you looking for the questions to pop up randomly (No specific time) ? Or, are you looking for questions to pop up at specific points. Say 00:15, 00:35 ... and so on.
If you are looking to show questions at specific points: One way to complete this would be to set cue points along your timeline where you want the questions to pop up. Then add triggers which pause the timeline at those points and show a layer containing your question. You can use the tools in Storyline to create most question types (In one form or another) on that layer. Then use triggers again to check answers.
Im sure there are many other ways to approach this. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need more specifics or discuss further if want to move in another direction.
Thanks so much for the help! To clarify, I want them at specific time points but sometimes I have them at 1 min and other times at 3:30, etc. The cue point is very helpful. I'll test this stuff out and let you know if I have other questions which I'm sure I will. Thanks again!
Hi, Beau: Just a note that you can't insert a Storyline built-in question on a layer. (Someone please set me straight if I'm wrong.) Those go on the base layer of a slide. You could build your own simple question on a layer, though: text, button that provides feedback, and helps them navigate on.
How can a viewer use the interaction and navigation created in articulate storyline? What publishing option is best for this? My viewers will just be the general public, not LMS users.

Hope this is helpful to get ideas going.
note: you could also build questions on the main timeline when you pause the movie instead of layers.

Hi Kalyani,
Welcome to the community :) Here's an article that talks about how to get your course online using a web server. It sounds like that's what you're trying to do.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
