Partial credit for multiple option question
Is there a way to give partial credit for multiple option, drag and drap and other types of multiple answer questions? In order to do this, you would need to assign a value to each response, but I w...
I have created a solution that will give partial credit for partial correct answers. This method will send the correct scoring to the LMS.
The concept is that we are in fact doing multiple quiz questions, all with a single slide.
The original slide is the visual for the user. It collects the correct/incorrect status for each item being questioned and stores them as variables. In my sample, there are 3 questions, each with multiple choices.
In addition to storing the variables, it uses the first slide to submit the results for the first question only. I use a correct object and an incorrect object and use a standard Pick 1 to indicate which 1 is correct. The variable is used to determine which one needs to be selected prior to submitting. Note: Pick 1 does not care if the user selected the object or if we did it through triggers, it only looks at the current status.
After submitting, it will display the feedback screen appropriate to the Question 1 result only.
The next slide immediately converts the variable for the 2nd question into selecting the correct or incorrect object and immediately submits the Pick 1 quiz. So, the user does not see this evaluation process and will not even be aware that they're on a different slide, rather than just moving to the next piece of the feedback.
Again, after reviewing the feedback on slide 2, it moves to the next slide which repeats the process for the 3rd question (repeat as many times as needed).
And finally, the results page thinks you've done a quiz with 3 questions and will calculate based on each of those questions separately.
During actual use, you would move the correct/incorrect objects off screen. Remember, these objects are only reflecting the status of the single question being evaluated on this slide.
If you want to "see" the evaluation process on the 2nd/3rd slides (for dev purposes), then just move the Submit trigger further down the timeline.
It should be possible to convert this for other visual styles such as a basic multiple response, drag and drop, drop down, hotspot, etc. Just be careful during design that you don't give them the ability to select all answers as a way to accidentally get the correct ones.
It should also be possible to compile the feedback into a single feedback form, simply by adding a "When timeline starts" trigger to the unwanted feedback layers, forcing the move to the next slide.
