Points for multiple text entry slide
Hi,
Is there a way to award multiple points for a text entry slide. The SME I am working with wants to give partial points even if the user gets the question wrong. I am wondering how to set/create this. I have up loaded my file below. The question has 7 text entry areas with the final entry triggering the correct/incorrect response. Is there away to award points this way?
I can't look at your file at the moment. However, I can share this: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-give-partial-credit-on-multiple-response-questions
That post has a file that demonstrates how to disguise a multiple-choice question, so the score is based on other input.
You could set up your slide in a similar way. Hide the actual response buttons for a multiple-choice question. Use triggers to select the appropriate response button based on conditions that check what the user entered in the fields (that is, the value of the associated variables).
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s the User Guide info:
I agree with Judy's suggestion. The most important aspect is how you intend to configure the scoring system. For seven text-entry fields, I've implemented a multiple-response question with seven choices. Each choice corresponds to a point value ranging from 0 to 30. If seven text-entry values are correct, set the state of the radio button 7 to selected when the user clicks the submit button, resulting in a total score of 30 points. If six text-entry values are correct, set the state of the radio button 6 to selected when the user clicks the submit button, resulting in a total score of 25 points. Following the same logic, you can grant points based on the correctness of text-entry values. When specific text-entry values are correct or incorrect, determine when to award or deduct points accordingly. Choose the scenario that best fits your requirements. To calculate the passing score based on the required number of points, apply the following logic: passing points divided by total points multiplied by 100. For instance, if the passing points are 25 and total points are 30, the passing score would be set to 71%. This approach helps to avoid confusion between scored points and scored percentage, as observed in some examples. Please find the attached .story file with your example updated on the second slide. Adjust as needed. Again, this is just a draft—a good starting point that can always be enhanced for improvement.
