Multiple Choice Questions in Storyline

Hello everyone! I am new to articulate and working on my first project. I have created multiple choice questions throughout my project. I have uploaded the project in Review to test out and get feedback and in doing so found that only the first multiple choice question works. We are unable to select an answer choice for the remaining questions in the project. I have created new graded slides, rechecked the triggers and still no resolve. Any suggestions are helpful!

Thank you

  • Shani-johnson14​: Here are your triggers for the first question:

    The Else statement for one of those triggers will always run—which means the quiz results are submitted with the first question. That locks the questions. 

    Save yourself time and headaches by taking advantage of the built-in functionality of question slides. Your custom, on-slide Submit buttons should use the same trigger the built-in one would use: the Submit [interaction] trigger.

    When a question slide is set to provide feedback by question, that trigger will automatically show the Correct or Incorrect layer based on the user's response. 

    Note that the layers must use the default names: Correct and Incorrect. (You can, however, adjust the text on the layers as desired.) 

    Also, you need to tell Storyline which answer is correct. That can be done by selecting the correct on the slide (as shown in the image above), or by selecting it in Form View: 

     

    As for essay questions: The user's answers are submitted to the LMS/LRS when the Results slide submits the quiz. Talk to your LMS/LRS folks about how to pull that data.

  • Troubleshooting is just guessing without seeing all the programming. Someone might be able to solve the issue if you upload the .story file. Here are the best practices for doing that:

    • Only include slides that are related to the problem.
    • Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
    • If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
