Question Setting
hi all,
I create a test paper including 7 questions. I want all people to answer first 5 questions. Person A answers 6th question, Person B answers 7th.
Is there any setting could help me to assign different questions to different people like this? thanks in advance
To do that, you need a variable to track which path a user will take.
- If there are only 2 possible paths (A or B), you could use a T/F variable. For example, the user could be sent down path A if the value is False or down path B if the value is True.
- Alternately, you could use a text variable, and assign it the value of "A" or "B" to indicate the corresponding path. (This option allows more flexibility if you end up with more than 2 paths.)
Somewhere before the quiz, you need to set the value of the variable.
- For example, if the path is based on the user's role, you could ask them to indicate their role by clicking a button. Each button would have a trigger that adjusts the value of the variable as needed.
When you get to the question before the user would be sent down a special path (question 5 if your example), you'll need 2 triggers on the button(s) that advance:
- A trigger to go to the question in path A, with the condition that the variable has the value associated with that path, and
- A trigger to go to the question in path B, with the condition that the variable has the value associated with that path.
Note: If your questions provide immediate feedback, both triggers would go on the Continue buttons on the Correct and Incorrect feedback layers.
Also note that you'd have to adjust the quiz settings on the Results slide so it won't include the skipped question in the score.
