How would you get an answer/choice chosen within a quiz after submission to appear on separate slide within Storyline?
Hi,
I have a number of quiz functions set up within an elearning module - Multiple choice for example.
I want to attempt to display the answer 'chosen' on any quiz format to appear on a separate slide and introduce a confidence scale (likert).
The approach being 'Certainty Based Marking'.
i.e. how 'certain'were you the the answer you selected is; on a scale of 1 to 3.
If the learner has chose '2' for example but the answer to the quiz question they chose is incorrect I want to then build a competency matrix based on their quiz choice and their CBM choice.
I have provided mock-up screens of my initial thought process.
My initial thoughts to create this are variables but if there is a simpler more effective way like using the inbuilt (storyline) variables.
Any advice/support would be fantastic.
If there is a better way to render this information, it would be great to hear from you.

Your initial thoughts are right: use custom variables. It's really quite simple:
- For each question, create a custom variable.
- I'd use a Text variable, which would allow you to indicate answers as A, B, C, or D; 1, 2, 3, or 4; or anything else you want.
- Add a trigger to each response that adjusts that question's variable so it indicates the answer. For example, clicking response "A" adjusts the variable to "A."
- On the follow-up slide, use triggers with conditions to hilite the user's answer based on the value of the variable.
- You could hilite the chosen answer with a separate outlining object, or just create a custom "Chosen" state.
- For example, a trigger could change choice A to the Chosen state when the timeline starts with the condition that the associated variable = A. Separate triggers would do the same for the other choices.
FYI: If you use the built-in Likert Survey questions, you'll need a Survey Results slide to have the responses sent to the LMS.
If you just want to use the results within the course, this post provides some guidance: TIP: Track Responses to Custom Questions or Surveys - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
Thank you Judy, that clears the fog somewhat.
Ill give it a go and update if i am successful.
I was half hoping that the outcomes (result) would appear within the LMS, which will most likely help in accessing some useful metrics.
- For each question, create a custom variable.
