Save answers to display on another slide
Hello!
My slide is set up as a Pick One quiz and I would like to show what the learner picked on this slide in the Summary slide. I think this can be done with variables but I'm unsure how. I hope someone here can help! Appreciate it. Cheers. :)
Yes, that can be done with variables.
- Create a Text variable to hold the info about the answer for each question. For example, you could call the variables q1_answer, q2_answer, etc. (Use whatever names make sense for you.)
- On the question slide, create triggers that adjust the variable for each potential response.
- Have each trigger set the variable's value to whatever makes sense to show on the Summary.
- Have the triggers run when the user clicks the Submit button. Be sure those triggers come before the "Submit Pick One" trigger.
- For example: set q1_answer to value "response A" when the user clicks Submit if response-A-button = Selected.
On the Summary slide, insert references to the variables.
- Note: the Reference text will be highlighted in yellow when you're editing the slide. That's to indicate the text is a reference. The highlighting won't show when previewed or published.
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more information:
