Survey results or text data entry fields collated on one slide

I am looking for a way to collate different text entry data fields (found on different slides) or different survey response questions on one slide. I thought I could do it with the results page but that only shows me numerical values or a review survey button that just goes back to the original questions. I want them all on the same slide so the learner can print them off as notes.

Is there any way to do this? I've read ways in which responses can be submitted to the LMS but I would like the learner to view them. 

  • Hi Karen, you would have to do this using variables, ensuring that the values are stored in individual variables. You can then display the contents of those variables in a text box by referencing them like this %variablename%

    Unfortunately, the survey response are not stored in a variable that can be later used, you would have to build your own survey response slide, and then assign each input box to it's own variable, e.g response1, response2 etc, then reference those in your text box using %response1% %response2%

  • Sam is right, You need to create your own text entry/survey questions and store the results in variables. I tend to use sliders for surveys. So I might have a set of survey questions on a screen where the learner selects their response using sliders. When they 'submit' their answers I just capture the values (e.g. Slider1, Slider 2, Slider3 etc) and then use them to provide feedback later in the course.

    This is not quite what you asked for, but here's a demo I created where the survey results are made available to the learner as a downloadable pdf:

    Lifestyle Survey (profilelearning.com)

    The output pdf looks like this:

     

     

  • Thanks, I knew I had done this before and couldn't remember how I had done it.

  • How did you get it to print to a pdf? I can only get it to print the slide at the moment. Thanks

  • Hi Karen, the PDF functionality is not native to Storyline and will be using a custom JavaScript library or server side script to generate the PDF. The only way you can save as PDF from Storyline, is if the user has a PDF reader installed as a printer, they can then "Print to PDF".
