Question bank - Questions marked to always be included, are always positioned at start of question draw

For a project we created a question bank (150+ questions). We would like to have a random question draw of around 100 questions. We want to make sure that some of our questions are always included (in a random order), so we marked those questions to always be included in our question bank.

When we preview the question bank, the questions that are set to "always be included", are always the first couple of questions in the question draw. Even though the question bank is set to do a random draw. Is there any way to solve this issue? We are using Storyline 360.

Locking the question to another question doesn't seem to be an option, because the lock functionality doesn't work if one question is set to be included randomly and the other to always be included. If I change both to always be included, I get the same issue as before: the start of the question draw is always the same.

Because I can't share our project, I created a basic sample to show the issue. It's attached to this post.  In this example, I have 5 questions in a question bank. I made a draw of 3 random questions, where question 3 is always included. As you can see: the draw will always start with question 3. If I set questions 3 and 5 to always be included, the question bank will always start with 3, followed by 5. It seems like the question draw will first combine all questions that are set to always be included, and then make a random draw based on the number of questions that are left for that draw.

  • Happy New Year 2020 to you and your team.  Here is to another year of learning and doing great things.

    I seem to have a lot of problems with this particular course again. Please, could you check when you have a chance?  Thank you, so much.

     

    Here is the query from a learner.

    "  I am having trouble with taking this test.. Yesterday I tried to take the chemical safety and did not pass it on the first try.I re-took the test again. I didn’t pass it the second time because it only gave me half the questions to answer.I have not tried to take it again as it gives you only 3 tries to pass."

      Hi Indrani

      which LMS is hosting this course. 

      I just ran through it again (preview only) and all 13 slides were presented each time I did it (3 attempts). 

      If it is only one user that is experiencing this issue can you get them to clear their cache before trying the course again and check which browser they are using - perhaps they can try using another one.

      I would also be checking the LMS - and in particular this user to see if there is anything in their profile that could be amiss.

        Thank you, Wendy.

        I have a feeling that could be the LMS and their ability to interact with interactivity (the drag and drop). I got similar queries from other learners as well. Again, thank you for checking and all your help.

        Best Regards,
