Storyline Quiz - points for answering

In Storyline Quizzing, can you create a question that receives points simply for answering? The answers will vary for each learner entry. It's more about the fact they entered something and not the specific response. The answers will be different for each person. I want to give points for responding, not for the response.

Is this possible?

    Create a Freeform Question, and give the same points and the same feedback for right and wrong answers. See the screencap.

  • Is the user supposed to enter a response in a text field? 

    If so, you could use a disguised Multiple-Choice (MC) question instead.

    Set up an MC question slide. If you use a standard one, you'll have to cover the responses. If you build a freeform Pick One, you can move the response buttons off the slide. In either case, be sure to remove the responses from the Focus Order. 

    Insert a text-entry field on the slide.

    Have a trigger change the hidden "correct" MC response to Selected with the condition that the text-entry field variable ≠ [blank].

    • That could happen when the variable changes.
    • Or it could happen when the user clicks the Submit button. If so, be sure the trigger comes before the Submit__ trigger.
