Quiz review next button not jumping to next scene ending
Hello Jay,
Thanks for sharing a copy of your project file. Here is what's happening as learners navigate through your course:
- When learners reach Slide 1.2 and answer the question correctly or incorrectly, they'll be shown a feedback layer which contains a trigger that jump the user to Slide 2.1.
- In Slide 2.1, when the learner clicks on the Previous button, they'll be taken back to the base layer of Slide 1.2. You'll notice that in the base layer of Slide 1.2, there are no jump to slide triggers present, which means that if your learners click on the Next button, it is expected that nothing will happen.
One way to get around this is to place a conditional next button trigger in the slide that will only work when the end of scene question has been answered.
Attached is a file for your reference so you can see how the changes above affect the navigation of your course.
While I appreciate you explaining to me what I explained to you in my complaint, your workaround doesn't actually fix the issue.
It also requires that the next button be turned on in slide properties which is not an option as learners are most often required to answer the question. Or for clairity we could add a dialog telling them to answer the question before clicking next (more work for us, recreating functionality that already exists on the submit button).
So, removal of the next button in the slide options makes the trigger flip to 'undefined' as I mentioned initially. We could further add another trigger & var to show/hide the next button if that var is true/false based on the question being answered (but again, that adds more work and complexity for us). With that in mind, it appears that the dummy slide solution is more elegant - and transparent. Either way though, we, the users of Storyline have to work around the lack of movement from the team on a real issue. It's dissappointing.
From a back end development standpoint the fix for this flaw would be as simple as a "if next slide is 'null' goto next scene" in whatever flavour language you're using - yes it would go unnoticed in the release notes, but that's because it should already just work.
For anyone seeing this thread in the sea of others like it, I highly reccommend the dummy slide method. Just remember to remove it from the menu :)
Although I haven't yet tested it myself, another suggestion to address this issue can be found here: Next Button Inoperative When Revisiting a Quiz Slide | Articulate - Community
