Graded Question Change Theme
I have searched and searched for this. When a graded question is added, if you want to select one of the themes below the built in graded questions, it only works for multiple choice. If I want a True/False or other question, I cannot get the new theme.
When I select the True/False and then select say Serenity, the system only shows me a Multiple Choice Question. Am I missing something? I may not always want a Multiple Choice Question so how do I get other question types in the same theme?
This is too much work, I have to rebuild the slide so all the questions have the same look and feel.

Hi Jeffrey!
Serenity is one of my favorite templates to use, so I'm happy to hear you use it too!
You're right, there is not a True/False quiz option using Serenity. I'll show you my workaround in this quick tutorial!
Hi,
What was the work around? The link no longer works and I am interested in the same solution.

Lauren,
Thank you for the reply. I was doing a similar process but was not sure if there was a better way. I probably need to make a request because there are several question types and in my opinion they should all be able to use any of the themes available. I am sure I don't know the programming issues to accomplish this.
In the mean time, I will continue to do a work around and see if I can come up with an easier method. The Multiple Answer is more difficult so I took standard question and then applied the Serenity format to the slide. At lease the Feedback Master allows changing those layers pretty simply.
I do know one approach would be to create a project for the theme I want and then create a slide for each question type I want to use. After that, I can import those slides as long as I only want that theme. I would only do a few themes as this is time consuming.
What seems to be working when I want a different question type but I want one of the themes, I first insert the type of question say for example Drag n Drop Sequence.
Since I have already setup one multiple choice question with the Serenity theme, that Layout is in the Slide Master list and the Feedback Master is there.
I open the Drag n Drop Sequence slide and change the Layout to the Serenity question type. Then I add the question and the answers. For the project I am on I set the question to 2 attempts. I then go to the Correct layer and change the Layout to the Serenity Correct response and that replaces the classic information.
I go to the Incorrect Layer and replace the layout for the Serenity Incorrect.
This changes the appearance of the entire slide and now I can make any other changes I want for the question slide to fit the style I have selected.
Once I have a group of slides created, I just copy them from scene to scene and change the questions and answers for the new topic.
This is still more work than I want it to be but it does work and seems simple.
Melissa,
I need to go back in my records and find the example and then make it available to you. I will reply here again as soon as I have it.
I have a short video that demonstrates what I have typed in the answer above.
Many thanks Jeffrey!
