Score by answer not an option for multiple response?

Hi Articulate,

I too feel it's "natural" to expect Storyline 2 would have this functionality.  Do we have any word back from the development team as to whether this feature will be implemented?

Hi Simon,

I don't have any updates to share at this time, but once there is additional information we'll be certain to update the forums. 

I too would love this functionality, we just ran a week long course with quizzes each day and the main complaint was that when a multiple response question was answer partially correct they didn't get any marks.

Hi Michelle,

This discussion is a bit older, but we don't yet have partial scoring in Storyline. I know it's been talked about here for a bit in ELH but it's always a good idea to also send in your thoughts on this as a feature request, and here's some insight into how we manage those and determine which features may make the next version.

Why isn't this functionality available yet? It's on Multiple Choice so the coding is already done, just apply it to the other question types.

Restricting it this why isn't helpful.

You keep saying this is a popular feature request, so why hasn't this been done FOR 6 YEARS.

I see that after 7 years this very obvious and much needed functionality still has not been added. I have just put in a feature request, but appearances would indicate that it won't do any good.

This is such an obvious and important feature, I'm surprised that it even had to be requested. Really not clear as to how something like this is still sub-par after this long...good to know it's not just me though.

Hi all,

I am just starting to get to know Articulate but I have already encountered this limitation on my 4th day using the software.

To be honest I am very surprised this feature (points by choice in multiple response questions) is not a given option in Articulate. Many MC exams at universities work with this approach and I wanted to use it in my company to test training knowledge of employees.

Is there any development plan on this?

Best regards,

Hi Michael!

I've answered your post over here. Let me know if you have any questions!

The trick is pretty simple. 

In the base layer - Create a blank slide and include your question text (in a text box). Next, add the answer options. For each answer option, provide a check box or a radio button. Declare a variable with a name and its default value set as 0. Enable triggers for each check box. For each correct answer that the user selects, add a trigger that increments the appropriate marks to the variable. For incorrect answers, increment the variable by 0.

Next, add a button (on the base layer) to reveal three layers - correct, partially correct, and incorrect. In the 'correct' layer, add suitable text for all correct answers. Include the following (without the double quotes) - "Your score is %variable name declared by you%". This configuration enables SL to reveal you total score. 

Add suitable text and reveal the score for partially correct and incorrect layers. Finally, add triggers for the button on the base layer to show the suitable layers with conditioning. (If variable = 0, if variable = 1 etc.). 

If you would like to use the default 'Submit' button, you need to enable the same and configure suitable triggers. In this case, the 'Submit' button requires a validation of the variable and we need to 'show' the corresponding layer.

Hope this helps!
