Player Navigation Buttons unavailable when reviewing quiz
Here's how the default, built-in quizzing functionality works:
- When the user takes (or retakes) the quiz, the program automatically hides the Next and Prev buttons.
- If immediate feedback is provided, the Continue buttons on the feedback layers hide the layers and then jump to the next slide.
- If there's no immediate feedback, the Submit button jumps to the next slide.
- If the user reviews the quiz, the program automatically shows the Next and Prev buttons (even though they aren't selected in Slide Properties).
As you've discovered, when you select the Next button in the Slide Properties of a question slide, that allows you to control it with triggers.
Without seeing your .story file, it's hard to say why your trigger to show the Next button during a review isn't working. It might have the wrong "when." It might be in the wrong location. (Triggers run in order.) It might be some other issue.
Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
Hi Judy
Thank you for your anxwer. You state "When the user takes (or retakes) the quiz, the program automatically hides the Next and Prev buttons." It seems it does not. I just removed my trigger to set the state of the "Next button" to hidden when the timeline starts and now it shows both "Submit" (="Indienen") and " Next" (="Volgende") in the player. Only when I also disable the Previous and Next button on the slide properties of the base layer "Submit" becomes the only available option.
I was however able to to work around this by adding a condition to the trigger that changes the status of the Next button to hidden - the issue lay with the sequence of assigning a value to the the parameter that keeps track of whether the learner is reviewing or not. You need to assign that parameter before you call the Review function, not after. :-)
Kind regards
Gert
