Quiz using questions from multiple topics
I want to construct a test over multiple topics that will give the user a breakdown at in the results of the overall score and a score for each of the topics in order to help direct them to training...
Ooof. You like giving yourself lots of work Bob! ;)
200 questions?!?!
So everything you describe is easy enough to set up.... until you say "I want to mix the questions from each bank randomly"... and then it gets really fun when you say "...give a total score, and a score for each topic"!
So, first things first - just set up all your 200 questions as normal.
Then set up your Question banks by copying in the relevant questions for each topic.
At the end of this you will have 200 questions (!) in 10 question banks.
If you want to "randomly" pull these at any time from any bank, I think you would be best to use some JS code to construct your entire question array. That way you can set up how many random questions from how many random question banks, and track each question.
Without JS, this is almost impossible I feel.
If you dont want to use JS, then abort the idea of the random draw to "mix the questions from each bank randomly". Instead, you could just set it up quite easily to do this:
Random draw from Bank 3
Random draw from Bank 1
Random draw from Bank 10
Random draw from Bank 6
Random draw from Bank 3
Random draw from Bank 8
... etc etc
It will still be random questions, but you are just giving it a bit of structure. Storyline can do that right out of the box.
Finally, you then need to track your REsults. A single results slide would be easy, but you will have to set up a Results slide for EACH QUESTION BANK.
Then at the end, you will show a COMBINED RESULTS SLIDE which is a special Storyline results slide that takes its scoring not from individual questions, but from other Results slides in your course.
And Im guessing you will need to set up a lot of different layers and output options in your Results slide to cater for all the possibilities that come with having such a huge quiz.
I hope that helps!
But my advice would be to go for the simple options first, get it working with those, and then see how far you want to push it. Im not sure I would believe that the small gains of the randomisation and extra results is worth the large amount of work it will take to get those... but thats just IMHO :)
Good luck!
