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:
Hello. I know yours was an old post (4 years ago) but I'm struggling with this issue now. This video was helpful to a point. It doesn't explain how to convey to Storyline which words, when typed into the text fields, are the correct words. It's no longer a text entry question, since the first step in the video is to convert it to a Freeform Pick-1 question.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks much,
Anita
I'm sorry but I have not used storyline for almost a year.

Hi Anita
you are using two offstage buttons correct/incorrect which are entered into the form view with the correct one selected. Then using triggers to say change state of correct button to selected if (example text entry 1=fog and text entry 2=mist)
Hi Anita - it's in Jeannette's video, but it's hard to see (or least it was for me... the video wouldn't go full screen).
You use conditions on the triggers to tell Storyline which words are correct.
For example - the trigger to select the correct button would look something like this:Change the State of [Correct Button Name] to Selected
When user clicks
The Submit button
IF
TextEntry1 is equal to Value [correct answer] AND
TextEntry2 is equal to Value [correct answer] AND
... repeat as many conditions as needed based upon the number of text entry fields ...The trigger to select the incorrect button would look similar:
Change the State of [Incorrect Button Name] to Selected
When user clicks
The Submit button
IF
TextEntry1 is not equal to Value [correct answer] OR
TextEntry2 is not equal to Value [correct answer] OR
.... repeat as many conditions as needed based upon the number of text entry fields ...Additonal Notes:
- If capitalization doesn't matter, you probably want to use the "is equal to (ignore case" and "is not equal to (ignore case)" options for the conditions.
- For the trigger to select the Incorrect button, be sure to change the conditions to OR statements.
- Make sure the two triggers to change the state of the Correct and Incorrect buttons are listed above the trigger to Submit interaction
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have other questions or get stuck!
Cheers !
