Multiple Text Entry Quiz

This is a great tutorial, thank you!  However I'm struggling with how to have more than one attempt during the interaction.  For example, say the user taking this quiz got all but one of the fill in the blanks correct.  It would be great to give them another chance to correct their mistake and have them submit the interaction again.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Kate and Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 

Is this what you are looking for:

Step 6: Choose the number of attempts (graded questions only)

By default, Storyline gives learners one attempt at your question. But if they answer incorrectly, you can give them the opportunity to retry. Use the Attempts selector to choose the number of attempts, or set it to Unlimited if you want learners to keep trying the question till they get it right. (The Attempts selector doesn’t appear on unscored questions, since those don’t have a right or wrong answer.)

This is within our tutorial found here.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Thanks, Leslie.  This was close to what I was looking for!  I ended up using a variable to control the number of allowed attempts since I used Convert to Freeform for the many questions on my quiz.  I set the default value of the variable to 4 and then if the answer was not correct, I deducted 1 from the variable each time the user clicked continue on the try again feedback layer.  When the variable ran down to 0, I triggered the incorrect layer to appear and then the user is forced to move on to the next question. 

After posting this reply, I kept digging within E-Learning and found this as a viable solution. 

Thanks again for your reply!

Glad to hear that you got things working for you Kate and thank you for sharing your solution with the community! Have a great day!

Hi,

With regads to Jeanette's post, how is it possible to accept 2 possible entries for each of the text field? Using AND, OR throws the invalid answer error message. Is this tutorial limited to a single answer per text entry field?

Thanks,

Sid

Hi Sid,

Towards the end of Jeanette's tutorial she shows how to determine which layer to show (correct or incorrect) based on changing the state of an off screen button with the conditions for the fill in the blanks using the AND set up, and since it's not a traditional fill in the blank (which would allow for up to 10 possible answers) this one is limited to a single answer per text field. 

Thanks for confirming Ashley

No problem Sid, and please let us know if you need anything else. 

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 Wendy and welcome to Heroes! 

You'll need to ensure that the buttons on the off slide are what is being checked for the pick one question based on the triggers you've set up. The "selected" button will then trigger the appropriate layer. The "invalid answer" message happens when a quiz answer has not been selected, so you may also want to check the trigger order, as it'll fire from top to bottom.
