Storyline 360 - quiz questions - multiple attempts - points awarded

Hi,

I have many quizzes (prepared using Storyline360), each comprised of 20+ multi-choice and multiple response questions.

For various reasons, I don't want learners to attempt the entire quiz more than once.

I could allow the learner multiple attempts to obtain the correct answer for each question. However, I want the quiz result to accurately reflect the level of each learner's understanding.

My objective could be achieved if (for example), the learner was awarded:

5 points for obtaining the correct answer for their first attempt at answering a question; and

3 points for obtaining the correct answer for their second attempt at answering a question; and

1 point for obtaining the correct answer for their third attempt at answering a question; and

0 points for obtaining the correct answer for all subsequent attempts at answering a question.

It seems I cannot (on a single slide) award a different number of points to the correct answer, based on the number of attempts required by the learner to select the correct answer on that slide i.e., it seems I need to have several slides (with the same content) for each question - for example:

• Q.1 is repeated on Slides 1 to 4 (i.e., each slide holds Q.1) and Q.2 is repeated on Slides 5 to 8 (i.e., each slide holds Q.2) ... etc; and

• 5 points are allocated to the correct answer on Slide 1 (0 points for an incorrect answer), 3 points are allocated to the correct answer on Slide 2 (0 points for an incorrect answer) ... etc.; and

• if the learner's answer for their first attempt at answering Q.1 (on slide 1) is incorrect - the learner receives 0 points and moves (through branching) to Slide 2 and will attempt the question again ... etc.; and 

• if the learner's answer for their first attempt at answering Q.1 (on slide 1) is correct, the learner moves to Slide 5 (holding Q.2) and the process repeats.

At this stage, I think the process outlined above would achieve my objectives. However, it's very cumbersome i.e., instead of having 20 slides for a 20-question quiz, there will be 80 slides and every time I update a question, I will need to update the text on the next 3 slides.

I would appreciate any suggestions that would streamline the process. 

Thanks.
