adding letter (A,B,C,D) to the answers

Is it possible to add the letters to each answer for learner's ease of following?

Thanks,

Janean

  • Hi Janean,

    Great question! I understand you would like to add letters to the questions to improve readability for your learners. I'd be happy to work with you to help get that done!

    When you switch the view of your questions to Slide View, you can move the answers around the slide. This will give you some room to add textboxes so you can put those letters where you like. I created a Peek video to show you how I did that.

    I included the file I created for the video in the attachment below.

    I hope this helps you out!

      Thank you so much for your help. I can see that this will be labor intensive, but well worth my time.

      Thanks again,
      Janean

  • Do you want the letters to appear on any of your LMS reports? I'm not sure that John Morgan's solution will do that for you.

    What we do is add the information to the beginning of each answer option ("A. ") and turn off the shuffle answers. This allows our SMEs to maniputlate the data in Excel more easily.

      Yes, thank you, I did get that. But having to add the column then align each letter to the answer and the column is a painfully long, manual process. I am so surprised that Storyline doesn't allow that option for a global answer selection.

      Thanks,
      Janean

        You may have misunderstood what I meant.

        Instead of having an answer option = "This is the correct choice" make it "A. This is the correct choice"

        You're not adding text blocks that you need to line up when you do it this way.
