TIP: Give Partial Credit on Multiple Response Questions

Multiple Choice questions can give partial credit for wrong answers.

Multiple Response questions can’t.

So what can you do if you want to give partial credit for Multiple Response answers?

Use a disguised Multiple Choice slide!

The attached Storyline file demonstrates how to do this. It also explains the programming. 

And here it is in Review: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/7be00b02-ca53-4068-a95d-a590efd8a933/review 

 

*** note ***

For those who want a partial-score-for-multiple-response feature added to Storyline: most likely, the Articulate staff is not following this discussion. 

Anyone can submit a feature request directly here: https://access.articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request

    Thanks Judy.  There always seems to be a workaround for a missing feature.  Here's a follow-up question...  At the end of the quiz, can the points results be reported to the LMS for tracking a user's score?  I have the challenge to report points scores for 5 topic areas separately (ie. 1 semi-long quiz with 5 separate point scores recorded in LMS).  I'm not quite entering crazy town yet, but on my way.

      This article has details of what Storyline submits to an LMS, based on how it is published: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/quiz-data-sent-to-an-lms-in-articulate-storyline 

      You might be able to get the info you need if you create 5 separate quizzes, each with its own Results slide. Then track course completion with a Results slide that "scores" the other Results slide.

      However, I can't say for sure that would do what you want. A lot depends on the publishing standard (e.g., SCORM 2004, xAPI) and the LMS.

      And how any of that data is pulled into a report also depends on the LMS. 

      I suggest you create a quickie prototype, and then test it in the SCORM Cloud. (Or in your LMS, if you can.) 

      I also suggest that if you have additional questions about this, you start a new discussion. That will make it more likely to be seen by any others who have experience with this type of tracking.
