Fill in the blank question in Storyline

I am trying to create a fill in the blank question where the answer contains certain words. In other words, the user will type a free form answer and as long as the free form answer contains specific words, they'll get the answer correctly. Is that possible? 

  • Storyline doesn't have that functionality. 

    The standard fill-in-the-blank question lets you indicate more than 1 acceptable answer. But the user has to exactly enter one of those options for it to be scored as correct. 

    For manual scoring offline, you could use a short-answer or essay survey question. To have the response sent to the LMS, you'd also need to include a Survey Results slide. (But, obviously, manual scoring is a lot more work for someone. And it doesn't allow for giving immediate feedback to the learner.)

      Hello,
      We are publishing a course to xAPI and wondering if there is a way to prevent a user from taking the course multiple times

      Thanks,
      Mony B.

        Hi Mony,

        The setting to limit the number of times a course can be accessed can be found in your LMS. Try reaching out to your LMS provider to see if they have this option available in their environment. 

        You can also find some creative workarounds from the community on how they approached a similar design issue here:
