Separate quiz review slides for correct/incorrect?
I'm only about a week into using Storyline, so I'm Googling how to do something every few minutes. But I couldn't find an exact answer to my current issue.
The situation:
I've created a quiz and disabled feedback per question. I want learners to take the quiz, and receive feedback when they Review afterwards. They can retake the quiz if they don't get a passing score.
- I want separate feedback for correct and incorrect. Correct - full explanation on why their answer is correct. Incorrect - hint to help them when they retake the quiz.
Is this possible? I'm thinking I may have to dive into variables, but I don't know how. (Again, I've been using Storyline a few days.)
Any help or insight would be awesome. Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. And you don't need to use variables.
When a question slide has a layer called "Review," the program will automatically show that layer during a review.
- Storyline automatically creates that layer if you enter text in the Post-quiz review field in Form View.
- Or you can add a layer yourself, and name it "Review" (use that exact name).
On that layer, you'll need to provide both versions of the feedback. I think the easiest method is to use separate states (e.g., "correct" and "incorrect") of the same object. Here's how to show the appropriate message during review.
For a Multiple Choice question, add a trigger that changes the object to the "correct" state when the timeline of the layer starts with the condition that the correct response button = Selected. Add an Else statement that changes the object to the "incorrect" state.
For a Multiple Response question, the trigger needs a condition for each response. Note: for the wrong answers, use the condition "≠ Selected." (All built-in states are built on Normal, so "=Normal" doesn't work well in these situations.)
This is demonstrated in the attached file.
FYI: It is worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more information:

DanielleT : Yes, that look right. With text-entry questions, you do have to connect the conditions with "or" to allow for any acceptable variation.
- Congrats on avoiding the common mistake of not changing the default "and" to "or"!
It'd be good to test with an incorrect answer, and repeat the test with each variation of the correct answer. That'll ensure you entered everything correctly.
Best wishes for success with your project.
And/or almost got me.
Also, yes...I have some testing in my immediate future. Thankfully, the quiz isn't too long.
Thanks, again!
Thank you, Judy! This is great. Easy to understand along with the demo.
I was able to follow it and create a trigger for text entry questions. Seems to work but does this look right?
Set state of reviewFeedback to correct
When the timeline starts on this layer
If TextEntry = value [POSSIBLE ANSWER]
or TextEntry = value [POSSIBLE ANSWER]
or TextEntry = value [POSSIBLE ANSWER] ← repeat for how many answer variations you have
Else: Set state of reviewFeedback to incorrectYes, it is possible. And you don't need to use variables.
