Hi there, I have a quiz which contains multiple response questions. How can I award 1 point for each correct selection? Currently if the user selects one correct answer but not the other they are awarded no points. I have seen in a previous post that you can select 'to score by choice' but this option doesn't appear in the drop down.I also have a drag and drop question where I would also like to award one point for each correct drop. Any ideas would be great!

Hi Alex, I'm sorry, I don't have the new version of Storyline yet, so I can't open your project. So let's go back the the example that I created for you, and I'll explain the process in better detail. The multiple choice question has three possible correct selection patterns. If both correct answers are selected, the slide recognized the answer as correct, and awards 2 points. If only one of the correct answers are correctly selected, the slide is incorrect. Because we want to award a point for the correct selection anyway, we add a point to the variable, with the incorrect feedback layer, and move to the next slide. The next slide is a hidden slide. This is a true false slide, which is only set up to add one point if needed for the first slide. The triggers on the main layer checks the variable. If the variable is set to zero, the selection is false, which is incorrect, submits the answer, and the slide moves to the next slide. But if the variable is set to 1, we need to add a point. The triggers select true, and submits the correct answer, which adds 1 point to the total score. The second multiple choice question has three correct selections. This adds up to seven possible correct combination that we must account for, and 3 possible scores. To handle this with only one hidden slide, I approached this one a little different. First, we must zero out the variable when the timeline for this slide starts. Next, if all three correct selections are made, the slide is correct, and awards 3 points. No additional points are added to the variable, because we don't need to add any additional points. If any other combination of correct answers are selected, then we must determine the correct number of points to add. This is accomplished with the triggers on the Incorrect layer. We check each correct selection, and add 1 point for each correct check box selected. There are 3 correct check boxes, so we must check each one, so there are three triggers. Each trigger add a point to the variable. When we are done checking, we move to the next hidden slide. This slide selects answers 0, 1 or two based on the answers. Since this is multiple select, we can use score by choice to select the correct number of points to award, and it really doesn't matter if the slide is answered correct or not. The choice selected matches the number of points to award, so if there is one point in the variable, choice one is selected, and one point is added to the score. Same for two points. We don't need to add three points, as we already added those because the previous slide was answered correctly. The correct number of points are submitted and added to the score and we move to the next slide. The next slide, is the results slide, and should now display the number of points that you earned by the previous interactions. You can set it to look for the passing score based on your requirements. I left it at 80%. I hope this helps.

To hide a slide in a project, you simply don't show anything. Keep your background the same as the previous our next slide, set any timeline objects to start at least 1/4 second after the beginning, and set a trigger to jump to the next slide when the timeline starts. The triggers will run, but nothing on this slide will display, effectively hiding the slide.

In the example I posted for you, I added a results slide. That slide will send the results to the LMS. The hidden slides are where you add the points as needed to the results. Those hidden slides are actually question slides that are answered by the triggers as needed to add the extra points. So by the time you get to that last results slide, the points are already added into the value sent to the LMS. Take a look at the score that displays on the results slide, and you can see where they were added.

Hi Alex, Multiple select does not support score by choice. That's why you don't see the drop down. I guess Storyline expects multiple select to only be used for partial credit scoring of incorrect answers. Take a look at this page to see how it works. Still, I think that you can do what you are trying to do. I'll submit an example for you after a bit.

Hi Alex, I think this example will do what you want.

It sounds like you've submitted the slide without selecting an answer. One of the steps above describe how you can select an answer when the slide starts using a trigger. You must complete that step before you submit this slide. If you do have that trigger set up, make sure that is is set in the stack to activate before the trigger that submits the slide. Triggers are executed in the order of top down in the trigger list.

When I wrote the procedure above, I was using Storyline 2. I haven't tested it to see if it will work in Storyline 360, but I suspect it should work just fine.

  Hi Dave,
  
  It's super helpful. However there's one part I can't get it to work. I have 5 options and 4 correct answers. I need to give 1 point to each correct answer the student selected. So I used your 2nd example.
  
  When I preview, after the 2nd question slide, it says "You must complete the question before submitting". Do you have an idea why it happened?

When you see that message display, that is telling you that submit was seleted with no answer provided on the slide. If you are selecting your answers using a trigger, make sure that the trigger selects an answer before the trigger that activates the submit action.

First try disabling the submit action, and run the project to see if an answer is actually selected when the slide runs. If that is successful, check you trigger order to make sure that the answer is selected before the trigger that actives the submit action. The selection triggers should be higher in the stack than the submit trigger.

  Hi Dave,
  
  thanks a lot for your helpful workaround to count single answers in multiple response questions.
  
  Does this also work in a question bank where for example 5 questions out of 10 are chosen? As far as I understand you'll have to make sure that the hidden slide follows directly after the corresponding question slide. But in a question bank the chosen slides have no given order. And it can happen that the respective question slide is the last one pulled out of the bank and the hidden file wouldn't follow after that.
  
  Do you have a proposal to make this work?
  
  Cheers and thanks in advance, Michael

Not sure i understand fully Storyline and my LMS at the moment, but i have everything working, my multiple choice question has A (5pts), B (10pts), C (15pts) and D (20pts) but when i convert to SCORM 1.2 or Tin Can, i cant seem to get an easy way to view the points in my Absorb LMS reports. Am i converting to the correct format?

Hi, Karl.

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!✨

Working with an LMS can be very specific, so we recommend first testing your course with SCORM Cloud. Check out this step-by-step article!

If your course works as expected in SCORM Cloud, then I would advise you to reach out to Absorb for more information on reporting/tracking from their end.

If you still see the same behavior in SCORM Cloud, my recommendation would be to open a support case here, so we can take a closer look at your settings.

Let me know if this works!

  Hi,
  
  Thanks for this, it appears it is the LMS system we are using, I can get what I want in Storyline 360 but it falls over in AbsorbLMS.
  
  Thanks for your help...
