Capturing learner responses
Sep 12, 2013
Hi. I was not quite sure how to search for this before posting a question so if this covered elsewhere on a forum, apologies for the re-post.
Situation: I have a slide that sort of looks like a questionnaire, where the learner is asked to check off items that pertain to them. I used the check box button and next to each check box is text. So if the question was what are your favorite colors and there are 10 options, a learner could check red, green, yellow.
What I want to do: I would like to capture the information that they have checked and give it back to them on a slide later on in the course. That slide will also have other information. So that later slide would have red, green, yellow already on the screen plus a new list of things to check off.
The ultimate goal will be that the learner can print a document with all of their selections.
I have a programmer colleague who can help with java script which would certainly be part of the answer but I think I am most interested in finding out how I could capture the red, green, yellow on a later slide.
Thanks for any ideas (or letting me know it cannot be done.) I am still navigating my way around variables so I am not quite sure how to tap into that to find the answer.

One option is to use variables, that are set based on which option (color) is selected. You can then use the variables any which way you want/need to and display specific information or which choices have previously been made. Based on your color selection scenario, I created this simple example that hopefully gets you started.
Hi Adena! Looks like Michael is helping you out here
Hi Michael. Yes! Thank you, I believe that is it. So very grateful for your reply.

Awesome! Glad Michael was able to assist you here and thanks for providing an update!
Great timing - I had a similar question today. In my case, however, I'm looking to capture free text responses as the learner walks through an exercise, and then plug these responses into a final document for the learner to print or email to themselves. Sort of like a mad libs set up.
Is this possible?
Hi Jodi,
Welcome to the community.
Attached is a pretty bare bones example:
3 slides, 1 question on each slide, 1 "text entry" on each slide for Learners to respond.
4th slide: compiles the 3 answers.
Done with text entry variables. Here's a link to an Articulate tutorial: Adding Data Entry Fields

Hi Jodi and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Looks like Becky is helping you out here! She is so great and provides excellent Screenrs and examples for our community, so you are in good hands
Just let us know how that solution works for you and if you need anything further.
Well, Leslie, you've made my W/E!
This might be a good Screenr topic - it comes up a fair amount of the time. Will add it to my queue. Does anyone know a secret for adding more hours to the day?
Great weekend, all
