custom Previous Next navigation on review slides

Placing the custom buttons on your quiz question slides will allow you to move forward and backward when reveiwing the quiz.  I assume you only want them to appear after the quiz has been scored?

Hello Josh,

Yes, I would not want the buttons visible while the student is taking the test.  Only after they have reached the Result Slide and click the Review Quiz button.. when they are going through the review slides I'd like a previous and next button for navigation.

Thanks,

John

Hi John!

You can certainly do this, but you'll need to use custom buttons. There currently isn't a way to toggle the visibility of the player navigational buttons using triggers, etc. Also, you may want to use a custom "Submit" button so that the default navigation buttons don't appear during the review. 

Here's a quick example:

Example for John

You can do this by using variables and custom shapes/buttons. In the example I created, I used a number variable and had the value of that variable increase when the user clicks on the "Continue" button on the correct feedback layer. I didn't set this up for the incorrect layer, but you can do this as well, if you want the buttons available when the user is reviewing questions they did not answer correctly. 

I used custom buttons that are set to an initial state of "Hidden". I called a trigger that will change the state of those buttons to "Normal" when the variable reaches a certain number, or a number higher than that value. 

I'm also attaching the example file, just in case you want to see how I have it set up. 

If I've missed anything, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Perfect, thanks a bunch Christine... Have a great rest of your day

I was able to accomplish this with the following:

1. Add a true false variable initially set to false
2. Add a trigger to the results slide to change the variable to true on timeline start
3. Add the custom buttons to each question slide and add a trigger to change the state to hidden on timeline start if the variable is equal to false.

When I did this, the buttons were hidden upon initially answering the questions, but became visible when reviewing.  It is worth mentioning, when I tried to add the 'adjust variable' trigger to the review button (on click), it didn't work.  I'm not sure why that is the case, but changing it to the review slide itself seems to do the trick.
