Users can keep retrying each quiz question by closing the browser after submitting the question, and relaunching course
One of my clients has expressed the same concern a while ago. I did not have time, so I improvised. I enforced "Resume saved state" on the question base layer and inserted the button with the initial hidden state that would take me to the next question when it's "Normal". I attached the trigger "Change state of button to Normal when the timeline starts on this slide if the state of any radio button is Selected". Now, when a user attempts a quiz question, selects the wrong answer, and hits the submit button, the incorrect layer will show. If a user closes the browser and relaunches the course, a quiz question cannot be changed but a user is still able to navigate to the next question by pressing the button that was initially hidden. However, I totally agree with you. Articulate should address this issue and prevent it from happening.
I appeciate your response. I did try enforcing "Resume saved state" (revised version attached) but this doesn't seem to work. If you select an incorrect response and click Submit, you get the incorrect layer. But if you immediately close the browser before clicking the continue button and relaunch the quiz, SL does *not* resume the saved state but reopens with none of the quiz buttons selected, allowing a reattempt. It seems that SL does not send the page status to the LMS until you move to the next page. I get the idea of the hidden button, but I'm not sure that fixes the fundamental problem.
It shouldn't really be necessary for users to figure out workarounds - the easy fix is for SL to update the LMS with the page status immediately after the submit button is pressed.
