Change shape of distractor box selection for Multiple Choice

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the box shape of the Multiple Choice distractor selection to the same circular selection for the Pick One.

I've already looked in Check Style, but this seems to be only for color selection.

Thanks,

Rob

  • Hi, Rob.

    Thank you for sharing the screenshot!

    Do you mean the checkboxes?

    In Instructional Design, by convention, when it comes to User Interface, your learners will expect that radio button choices are mutually exclusive (one or the other), while checkboxes allow them to select more than one option from a list of choices.

    However, if you want radio buttons instead of checkboxes, you can create a freeform Pick Many slide:

    I hope this helps!

  • Really not sure what you're looking at specifically, However, to edit the question slides you obviously can edit what you see at the slide level. To edit the layers, go into the layer itself or the master for that layer which you can find in View>Feedback Master.

    If that doesn't help, let us know and share a screen grab or something so we can see what you're referencing.

    Hi Tom,

    I screen shot what I mean, the square shape distractor. I can't just easily go into the States to change it to the circular shapes used in the Pick One excercises, which the client would prefer.

    I'm not sure where else I might be able to change the shape of the check off selection.

  • Ok. I see. Radio buttons are generally recognized as a single selection interaction so Storyline creates them with a button set. However, you can break that using a convert to freeform option.

    Here's a video.
