Is there way to create a quiz question on a layer?

What I am trying to create/capture is a confidence base question for a quiz questions. So after a learner answers a question, then another question shows up and ask questions about how confident are they when answering the previous question. (e.g. Very Confident, Somewhat Confident, Not Sure). I was thinking of creating another quiz question/slide after the quiz question, but I want to be able to still view the previous question? Is there away to create it in Storyline? Any solutions or samples would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    This sounds like an interesting proposal.

    It sounds like what you want to do is to create an unscored Likert-scale response that basically branches off each question. So instead of a sequential Q&A quiz approach (a typical set of questions), you want to create an additional question slide that appears after each question - thus, the branch off each question.

    Because you don't want to track these "confident" answers, I would suggest that you create this slide manually - perhaps using the Likert-score slide as a guide/template/example. That way you can retain the ability to view the previous question.

    An alternate way to do this (as you identified already) would be to use a layer on each question. The difficulty with that method is that you may need to create the layer (and the underlying questions) in such a way that the questions and selected answers can be easily seen - so the "confidence" question functions as an overlay. And this type of overlay would probably be difficult to manage unless all you have are T/F questions (I'm thinking of the slide space required for the questions and answer options).

    Keep us posted on your solution! (-:

    I think I might have 2 samples in the story file I have attached. In the first scene I created a layer with the Confidence questions.

    Scene 1, slide 1.1 with CBL Layer

    The 2nd Scene has the same set of questions, then goes to a 2 Scene with Likert-scale question for each previous question and then has a results and survey slide at the end.

    The only problem I have now is how to capture the results for scene 1 slides on the CBL layer. 

    But that's what I got so far.

    You just added what I would say is the deal-breaker: how to capture the results for scene 1 slides on the CBL layer. 

    The built-in results capabilities are not intended to capture and present multiple results (scores) from different branches. There is a feature that was added a while back that creates a "knowledge check" score that is not reported to your LMS, but in my (limited) usage of that feature, that score is best used as a "go/no-go" value.

    In our case, we used that knowledge check as a pre-test; if the score was less than 80% (I think we had a bank of 12 questions and they had to answer 10 correctly - don't judge me on the math, please), the learners had to take the entire course. Otherwise they were advanced to a completion screen that recorded the "complete the course" button as the completion record.

    However, your desire to capture results layer-by-layer is definitely a challenge. You may want to open a case with Articulate to see if they have any ideas on how to efficiently accomplish this.

      Thanks for the feedback and insight. Let me open up a case and see what solution they come up with.
