Multiple Text Entry Quiz

Hi Louise and Becky,

Although the text entry question type is designed to evaluate just one text field, here's a workaround for evaluating multiple blanks on one slide: 

Fast-forward 2 years... 

Thanks for this video - don't fall into the same trap I did. There should be NO triggers on the Correct and Incorrect buttons. If you include any, you will get an incorrect response everytime. Otherwise, works like a charm! 

Hi Fernanda

trigger order is very important.  Move the submit button to the bottom and it works as expected

Hi Louise,

I've been wondering about this also, and your question prompted me to do some searching. According to this Text Entry tutorial, you CAN insert more than 1 question, but only 1 will be graded.

I wonder if anyone knows how to tweak things so many entries can be graded. And, unless I missed something (entirely possible!) and it IS possible to do this w/out a tweak, perhaps this would make a good feature request.

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me get started. I'm just learning to use Storyline, and am creating a slide which involves correcting spelling mistakes on a menu board. The slide shows the menu board for the exercise, and then another one next to it with data entry text boxes for the menu items. These are labelled 'A', 'B' etc for the variable names.

I watched this tutorial as it seemed to lend perfectly to what I wanted to do. I have altered the response message for the 'correct' and 'incorrect' off slide buttons from the default wording, so expected to see these responses when I run it.

Instead however, I am continually getting an "Invalid Answer. You must complete this question before submitting." instead, no matter whether I put in incorrect or correct answers when trying it out.

My Triggers all look identical to the ones in the tutorial. Does anyone know why I might be getting this incomplete or invalid message or where it is coming from?

Hi Peter,

I took a look at your file, and I think you've stumbled upon a common problem. :)  In your set up, for the question to be marked "incorrect" your trigger is checking that ALL the elements are not equal to the expected setting - when in reality, all you need is one item to not match the expected value. So instead of using the "AND" condition you'll want to utilize the "OR" condition. 

Once you do that, if the user doesnt' answer one element correctly the "wrong" item off stage will still be "selected" and therefore the question counts as being answered. As you have it set right now - nothing is selected unless they match all those conditions.

Hope that helps! 

Hey Kandice - another thought occurred to me.  Have you checked the triggers that evaluate whether or not the text entries are correct to ensure they indicate AND and OR as needed?  

If all of the entries have to be correct to show the correct layer, each of the conditions (following the first) should begin with AND.  For the incorrect layer trigger, each of the conditions (following the first) should being with OR.  

I know I missed an "OR" on one of my slides and it drove me crazy until I found my mistake.  I added an image with the And/Or conditions along with the "ignore case" option.  

And when I was playing around with a sample file to grab screen shots, I used the copy/paste function to add additional text entry boxes...  When I checked my triggers, I noticed that the text entry box for one was updating the variable associated with the copied text entry.  Have you double-checked that all of the entry boxes trigger update the correct variables? 

Hope this helps!

Hi Kandice

I added a new quiz slide 'Pick One' for Q4 and it works - see attached if that's what you are after

Hi Tammy,

Thanks for sharing your set up here - and I can see that the items are being selected, but nothing is being "submitted" so the correct and try again layers are not showing. You could add an additional trigger to submit the interaction when the user clicks "check answer" and just ensure it's listed below the triggers to adjust the state of your incorrect and correct buttons. 

Hi Rebecca and Jeanette!

Thanks for your reply. (^_^)

Will see and check on the link & screenr video above and work on how to develop the multiple text entry quiz..

Thanks so much for your help!
