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 wasn't able to figure out how to do that if it is indeed possible. Let me know. Thanks.

I can't believed this was raised 8 years ago and has still not been implemented. If a course uses lots of multiple response question types and the learners select most of the correct answers every time, it will be very demoralising to always be told they got it wrong when actually they got a large percentage right.

Hi Miriam, I think the attached achieves what you are trying to do. Although this example uses a multiple response question, the mechanics should be same when applied to other question types. Basically, I have built my own feedback layers (correct, partially correct and incorrect) and have used trggers to display the relevant layer based on the value of a number variable that assigns a score (10 points if 2 AND 4 = 'selected' when the user clicks on submit or 5 points if 2 OR 4 equal 'selected' when the user clicks on submit). The key is to have the triggers that assign the score above the trigger to submit the interaction - SL processes triggers from top to bottom so you want the score to be assigned before the the relevant feedback layer is displayed.

Hi Miraim, I can see no reason why the principle wouldn't work for a D&D - though you will need to use the 'drop correct' and 'drop incorrect' states to control how many points are assigned. For example: If item A and item B are correct, you will need to add a trigger to adjust the number variable to 10 if the states of item A AND item B are equal to 'drop correct' and a further trigger that adjusts it to 5 if the states of item A OR item B are equal to 'drop correct'. To tally the results, you will need to have a seperate number variable for each question (i.e. Q1, Q2 etc.) as well as a further number variable called 'Total' (or something similar). On the results slide, you will need to add triggers that add the question variables to the 'Total' variable and then on screen, add a reference to display the value of the 'Total' variable i.e. %Total%. I hope that makes sense, but post back if you need any further clarification. Antony

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.

Hi there Miriam! Welcome to the community Currently Storyline doesn’t support partial credit for individual answers, but by all means, please feel free to Submit a Feature Request. Thanks! =)

It looks like SL is submitting zero, even though the partial score is five, to the results slide.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi Elizabeth,

Storyline doesn't support partial scoring using the built in score elements of questions and the results slide variables are not accessible and therefore you won't be able to adjust them using triggers as shown here. Likely it may be something you could do with Javascript but that's not something we can offer support for so hopefully someone in the community can weigh in.

Now, in more recent versions we have system variables available, is this possible?

Hi Adam!

I appreciate you sharing that there is still a need for a partial scoring feature in Storyline!

Since we don't already have this feature in Storyline 360, we are continuing to track customer impact and update our report! I've added your comments so that we updated information. I'll report back to this discussion when I have an update.

  Hello Lauren,
  
  Any idea when can we expect a partial scoring built-in feature in storyline? It'd be a greatly useful feature to have.

I'd love to see partial credit on quizzes as well. It would be a game changer :)

Hi, just wondering if there is any update on this? Would love to be able to give partial credit.

Partial scoring would be an extremely helpful built-in feature. Definitely need it as a feature after 8 years without.

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone could guide me about giving partial credits for multiple option questions in storyline, but it seems that after 8 years, we don't have a partial scoring built-in feature in storyline yet. Any idea why not?

Hi there,

First time using Articulate and was trying Quizmaker but unfortunately have stopped before I could get started due to this seemingly long-standing issue of no partial credits for multiple options. Perplexing to say the least as it seems pretty basic.

I don't have the time to sit down and work out if any of these 'workarounds' and fudges may/may not work, so oh well, it's off to find another 3rd party option!
