Rise Quiz - Shuffle vs. Stationary Answer Choices

Hi Kristi!  You're asking a great question here.  The matching question type in Rise focuses the assessment on pairing up the right items, not necessarily in the right order.  You're right - the overall choice order gets shuffled.

I see the need you're describing, however, for having a sequence interaction.  For your project, in the meantime, can you include a sequence question from Storyline as an ungraded block?  That interaction wouldn't be part of the quiz, but would instead flow with the rest of the content.

I'll submit a feature request on your behalf for a sequence question type in Rise.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts here!

Hi there, Kristi!  We released an update to matching question types in Rise that changes the shuffle behavior.  The right column stays fixed and the left column shuffles.  This change will help with your need to evaluate sequence for your learners!

Let us know what you think.  ☺️

Sure, Nick!

From the Quiz main page, click Settings. Then scroll down and toggle on the Shuffle Answer Choices option. 

@Alyssa Gomez, Just to clarify - do you need to turn on Shuffle Answers for matching questions? Why would you use a matching question that doesn't shuffle?

It seems that the Shuffle Answers option would only apply to multiple choice and multiple response and that the left column of matching questions would shuffle regardless of how Shuffle Answers is set. 

Please confirm.

thanks,

Jeanette

Hi Jeannette,

Correct - Matching questions are shuffled automatically. The setting Alyssa demonstrated is overall for the quiz, so it'll shuffle those choices for questions that wouldn't automatically be shuffled. Matching questions were added recently, so we didn't change that setting as it was already set for Multiple choice. 

Thanks for confirming Ashley.

Is there the ability to shuffle in right hand column answers when using the matching feature in the knowledge check section in blocks?

Hi Erin!

In a Rise Matching knowledge check block, the answers on the left are shuffled. 

As our team worked together to create this interaction, we found that dragging left to right felt like it had a more natural feel than right to left. 

Hope that provides the insight you're looking for, and let me know if you need anything else! 

The matching knowledge check does not shuffle left or right columns, is there a way to fix this?

Hi Albus!

The options on the left should be shuffled in a Rise 360 matching knowledge check block. Do you notice that the left column is shuffled when you preview the lesson?
