Substituting a variation of 'select' quiz questions in a second attempt to pass a quiz.
Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find a similar question/scenario. And it may be how I am interpreting how quiz banks should work. Here is background:
I have my end ...
Thanks for confirming Judy. Bummer as I think there would be value in restating a question to provide that type of variation. But it would obviously have to be linked to the original question (as a substitute to that original question only) or you could end up with two variations of the same questions in one quiz (if drawing and relying on how current Q-banks work in SL).
Hi again, Scott,
It popped into my mind last night that you *could* show a different version of the question the second time around.
- Put the rewritten question into a custom state for the question's text box.
- The question should be rewritten so that the responses remain the same, and with the same response(s) being correct.
- Create a T/F variable to track whether that question was answered correctly the first time. Set the default to False. Adjust this variable True with a Trigger on the Correct layer.
- Create a T/F variable to track whether the user is retrying the quiz.
- On each question, add a trigger that changes the question text box to the custom state, with these conditions:
- the corresponding question-tracking variable is False (i.e., the person answered incorrectly the first time, so the variable wasn't changed)
- the attempt-tracking variable indicates it's the 2nd (or later) attempt
That's as simple an explanation as I can give. If you need help with variables and conditions, there's more info in the User Guide: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360. (It's worth the effort to get comfortable with them, because they provide the real power in Storyline.)
