Storyline 2 Quiz Feedback "Slider"

Jun 26, 2017

Hi all,

I have been tasked turning a classroom course/game into an e-learning quiz. The game provides students with scenario-questions that have 3 options to choose from. Based on their choice of they get feedback that will affect their running score, which will show in the form of 3 sliders. 

In the live game you have a slider on your table for the 3 categories you are tracking: Value, Engagement, and Culture. When you start, the arrows on the slider are all at zero. When you make your choice the feedback will advise you whether you made the best choice and it will say something like: "Value +2, Engagement +1, Culture -2" and you move your arrows to keep track. At the end you see where you end up; some players might be 3 or 4 points in the positive for one category and minus points in another.

I've been asked to create this in SL2 (or potentially Quizmaker 09). Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? In a perfect world I would even be able to show an image of the slider with an arrow that has moved, depending on the score. This sounds like something that will call for variables but I am not super strong with using them in SL2 yet.

I appreciate any advice!

Hi Daniel,

It sounds like you'll want to create 3 numeric variables: 

  • Value
  • Engagement
  • Culture

Then insert your sliders onto your master slide so they appear on every slide. Add a trigger for each variable to so the slider value is equal to the associated variable when that variable changes.

Once you have your question slides set up, add triggers on the correct and incorrect feedback layers that add or subtract values from the different variables.

I mocked up an example quickly, so hopefully that will help. Note that I only put triggers to add/subtract on the correct layer, but you can add them to the incorrect layers as well.

Let me know if you have any questions! :)
