Pop graded question
Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a quiz question that will pop-up over the existing slide, it can be a layer or a light box (or whatever 😉) but I haven't been able to figure out how to get a graded question over the top of an existing slide. I can obviously create a layer with the question but if I do that it isn't graded.
I could put the question on the base layer but then it is always visible, I don't want the question to show until they click NEXT, then I want it to pop-up to show on the existing screen but on top (like a layer).
Any suggestions? Is it even possible?
Thanks!
Wendy
As you discovered, the question and responses for a graded question have to be on the slide's base (not a layer).
The answer is in your question: use a lightbox.
By default, a lightbox doesn't include navigation controls. To allow the user to submit the answer, you'll either need to enable those, or add your own button with the Submit trigger.
If immediate feedback is provided, edit the Continue buttons on the Correct and Incorrect layers so they close the lightbox (instead of the default "Hide this layer" and "Jump to next slide").
If you don't want to provide immediate feedback, it gets trickier, because the Submit trigger's programming includes jumping to the next slide if there's no feedback. One workaround for that would be to do this:
- Keep the question set up to give immediate feedback.
- Delete everything from both the Correct and Incorrect layers.
- On those layers, add triggers to "Close lightbox when the timeline of this layer starts."
