Issue with randomly draw questions from the question bank.
Hi,
I have tried a few other forum threads on community.articulate.com around this subject or similar issues with question banks and randomisation issues. However, after lots of experimentation, re-engineering and even purchasing SL3 because on first appearance it seemed to fix the issue (later on we found it didn't) I think its come down to the same issue as Benny.
So this has been tested In storyline preview, on a server, in an LMS and on ScormCloud. Both the Flash version and the HTML version. I have tried it in SL2, SL360 and now SL3.
A question bank of 10 questions, set to randomise and only show 5 questions will ALWAYS show those same 5 questions but in a different order when you come back to the question bank. I have set it so when you return to the question bank there is a hidden 'forwarding' slide which resets the question bank's linked results slide.
This obviously is not how I want the question bank to function when a user returns to retake the quiz, I want them to possibly get different questions from the 10 in the question bank. It seems that when a user enters the course (starts a session) the question bank decides what 5 out of 10 questions they will be getting until they reset their session data (restart the course and choose don't continue from where they left off).
Surely there is a missing setting here, surely there should be an option to 're-draw' from the bank instead of just representing the same questions. If there isn't a missing setting I would suggest Storyline reconsiders how people are using these randomised question banks in courses, this default behaviour is very restrictive and from what I have seen in various posts on this community its causing issues for lots of storyline developers.
Thanks in advance for any help, or information.
