Randomize answers in Multiple Choice question - Storyline 360
Hi community,
I´m creating a quiz for a work safety induction and I know how to randomize questions in a question bank. But I also want also to randomize the displayed answers in a multiple choice/multiple answer question.
For example you have 5 possible answers and the learner is always shown 3 random answers with at least one right answer.
I think about to fix this with variables but I don´t know how. Maybe there is another way.
Thank you for any ideas.
You can shuffle the answers by selecting "Answers" under the Shuffle option in the Question Tools. Then, create a few triggers that change the state of one correct answer and two additional answers to "Selected" when the timeline starts on this slide. Check the demo below:
EDITED:
You can also create a random value variable, like %randomCorrect%, that randomly generates either 1 or 2. If the value is 1, choice 1 will be pre-selected; if the value is 2, choice 2 will be pre-selected. This allows for different correct answers to be selected each time the question is loaded.You can apply the same logic and use different random variables/values to ensure that other answers are also randomly pre-selected when the question loads.
Hi Nedim,
thank you for your fast reply and for the effort you put in.
But unfortunately this isn´t for what I´m looking for. Maybe my question was not accurate enough. It is not about the answers which are pre-selected.
I rahter looking for a how to create an answer pool, similar like the random question function.
Basically I want to say 'always display 3 of 5 answers (=control fields) to the user'.
At the end every learner gets shown the same question with 3 random answer possibilities.
This is the question tool where I have 5 answers in my answer tool.This is the question for the user with 3 randomly chosen answers of the answer pool above.
I hope my explanation is understandable now.
