Add/Subtract Quiz Totals on Results Slide
I'm stumped and I need your help! I have created a "Counter" variable to add when a learner clicks on the "Normal" state (which is set up to show an answer hint). Each question is valued at 10 for a ...
CareyG521: As Michael noted, you can't change the built-in quiz variables with triggers. But there is a workaround for your questions.
Multiple-choice questions can be scored by choice. Here's an example of how that looks in Form View:
- For your situation, use a multiple-choice (MC) question with the responses removed from the Focus order and hidden from view. (If you use a standard graded MC, you'll have to cover the response buttons. If you set up a Freeform MC, you can move the buttons off the slide.)
- Each question would have 3 responses: the correct option worth 10 points, another option worth 9 points, plus an option worth 0 points.
- Put your custom responses on the slide.
- Before the "Submit multiple choice" trigger, use triggers to change the appropriate MC option to Selected, based on whatever method you're using to evaluate the user's response and possible use of a hint..
That will allow the Results slide to properly score the quiz using the built-in variables.
To get a clearer picture of what I'm talking about, refer to this demo of how to assign partial credit on a multiple-response question.
