Retry INCORRECT questions only
Hi team
can anyone give me instructions on how to only include the INCORRECT questions when students retry the quiz. I know there is a video using storyline 1 but the interface and variables boxes are different when i use storyline 2. I have true/false , multiple response, multiple choice, drag and drop questions.
I have 100's of questions for each modules and there are several modules.
Here is what i need:
1.students get unlimited attempts
2.students to attempt INCORRECT answers only
(Note: is not necessary to review test only to RETRY incorrect questions)
This is quite urgent !
Thanks in advance team

No problem - however.....
Once I modified my actual project to match the sample the issue remained. Must be a latency issue. I delayed some of the triggers by 0.25s and it works fine now, albeit with a bit of a delay as the quiz skips through each question. I made this a little more bearable by hiding the "Continue" button on each "Correct" layer when it was being retried.
Not the prettiest solution, but a solution that didn't require coding. That's what I love about Storyline, you can do almost anything without coding!

Seems to be the solution that I need.
@Steven - I have tried your file. The only thing I miss is that when you finally has answered correct in your table, the result remain to show the "retry"-button.In my case the member do not need to answer correct, but to confirm like a tick-off each issue.
The result then just has to be 100%.
My challenge is that the member not necessarily can confirm all issues in one go. so if he confirms some of them and continue - then he has to able to go into then file later to confirm further issues. In the end he has confirmed all issues and has passed the course.Is there an updated version (I use 360)

Hi Everyone,
This has been extremely helpful since I don't use variables very much. My quizzes entail other types of questions. The triggers provided doesn't necessarily fit because "on the base layer, add a trigger(s) to change the state of the radio button(s) to selected when the timeline starts for the correct option(s). Add a condition to only do this if the appropriate variable is set to 1." It doesn't give me the option. I've been trying to figure out to make it work for the following:
Numeric Entry
Drag and Drop
Fill in the Blank
Can anyone help me?

Sorry for the late response Jennifer. Been totally under the hammer for the past two weeks. Have you found a solution to your issue yet or are you still looking for help?
- JenniferFeliciaCommunity Member
No, I haven't figured it out yet. Any information you can provide would be helpful.

Hi Jennifer
The fill in the blank and numeric entry can be done in a similar way to the multiple choice. I've attached an example where I've included these.
I'm not sure you'll be able to incorporate drag and drop. I've played around but so far can find no way of forcing the drag items into the drop areas automatically.

Oh ok, I was over thinking it with the numeric entry. I had a feeling the drag and drop was going to be more complex. Thank you so much for your help!!

This conversation is very close to where we are trying to go. We are needing a bank of 30 questions to only present 10 at a time randomly. If you get less that 100% you have to retake only your missed questions.
Thoughts?

On a purely instructional design level, what is the instructional value of having someone retake a test unlimited until they get all questions right, but letting them skip questions they took before? On the surface level it seems you are just encouraging retying/guessing. Doesn't really seem to assess the user in any effective way, and if the questions are meant as learning, why not just a bunch of practice questions they can keep trying?
- PaulStoverCommunity Member
Sure, I wouldn't choose this model, but this is for a client that is wanting a customer-facing assessment to be used to demonstrate familiarity with a certain functions of the software and this is just how they want it done. They don't want the lab workers taking it to spend time getting frustrated by redoing correct quiz questions but want to make sure they had the opportunity to try each task in the quiz.
- StevenMcAneneyCommunity Member
One could also argue that only giving the participant one chance to answer, then telling them the correct answer when they get it wrong, has less educational value than making them attempt the question again. If they attempt the question again, at least there's a 50% chance they'll actually think about WHY they got the question wrong the first time? It's another opportunity for learning, albeit at the risk of guessing, but it's better than just saying "That's incorrect" and expecting them to learn from that deflating experience.
- PaulSchneiderCommunity Member
Agreed - but then you could just leave it as a test, unlimited attempts, maybe even turn off review if you want - or leave review on - but they get random pooling again or all questions. If they got an answer right before, no reason they couldn't get it right again - and reinforce the learning - unless of course, they are just taking multiple times and guessing - which is what unlimited times, but eliminate what I got right (or guessed right) essentially does.

In my case, the customer required employees to score 100% on the assessment (job critical information and processes). When we initially set the quiz up so that they had to take all 50 questions over again if they didn't get them all right, with no feedback on what they had missed...students were understandably upset. One misread question and you were going back through the whole "experience" again, unsure of what you had missed. This was not a valuable learning experience, it just created a lot of work-around behavior. I guess people sharing answers keys is a sort of team building activity, but not really what we were after.
Reviewing only the questions they missed forced them to read those questions more carefully and focus in on what they didn't understand, rather than tediously re-doing the things that they did understand. Students believed that the number of tries were being tracked (in reality they were not, we just didn't disabuse them of the notion), so they worked towards as few tries as possible. From a business outcome perspective, the assessments were effective in solidifying people's understanding of the subject...which is what we needed.
- PaulSchneiderCommunity Member
Thanks for sharing. The fact that students believe the attempts were being
tracked (or if the attempts had been limited) does add value to this
situation. Though another solution would be to break the test into smaller
tests/chunks (maybe based on some overarching topics). Then it wouldn't be
so onerous to go through it al again and really accomplish the same goal,
and if you "guessed" right, well you have to learn that the guess was
correct, not just a guess. When there are not limit to attempts, it just
becomes a bit silly (IMO) as to not really accomplishing the learning goals
- just a way to check off a compliance requirement.
