Multiple Correct Hotspots
I have read the forums - and it sounds like you cannot have more than one correct graded hotspot. I read the forum that say you can simulate that with a 'pick many' instead. However, I think I created a slide that two correct hotspots. It is definitely appears to be a hotspot question, not a pick many. Can anyone tell me if this is just a glitch, or how I was able to do this? I have spent the past hour trying to replicate these settings on another image to get the same results (two correct hotspots). However, each time, it only allows me to create one 'correct' hotspot.
Story is attached - first image has the two correct hotspots.
I can help with the calculation timing. Do the calculations “When timeline on this layer starts”. Then “Show [next] layer when variable [last variable] changes” Set the Next layer to hide other layers. You won’t believe how fast it runs through the layers, but if your triggers are correct, the answers will be fast and accurate.
Thank you for that, I was investigating that as well. I wasn't sure which variable the total points available was and if I could use that (and whether it calculates after submit or before submit). My variable won't change if it evaluates as false (I assume adding 0 isn't recorded as a change?), but you just gave me the idea of creating a fake variable where it adds 1 on all of the fake slides at the same time it evaluates the if then else expression. Thanks!
Edit: here is what worked for me (in preview mode, haven't gotten any farther):
1. Created variable BlankSlideCount with numeric value.
2. On each blank question slide, I have the following triggers:
a. Set state of Radio Button 1 - "True" to Selected when the timeline starts on this slide IF NumCorrect >= <number> ELSE: set state of Radio Button 2 - "False" to Selected
b. Add value 1 to BlankSlideCount when the state of at least one of Radio Button 1 and Radio Button 2 is Selected
c. Submit True/False when BlankSlideCount changes
d. Jump to next slide when BlankSlideCount changes
Oddly enough, both c and d were necessary because it would auto advance to the next slide with c only sometimes but not always. I wasn't able to determine what setting was different to make the blank slides behave differently.
I did these on individual questions, not layers as suggested, since I wanted partial credit for each correct item selected and the only way I could figure out how to do that was with individual True/False questions. The timelines are now set short and the faux spinning progress wheel looks moderately convincing (the questions are randomized) :D.
Choose the Freeform Hotspot question and add your image. Select the first hotspot (correct answer), then in slide view > Insert, and REMOVE FREEFORM SLIDE. Then, Copy the rectangle for your first correct answer and paste, placing as many correct answers as you want them to be. Then, go back to Insert and convert the slide back to a freeform slide.
