Using Layers in Quiz Questions
I am building an interactive computer literacy assessment in Storyline 360. I was able to create appropriate layers and triggers to open different menus, but the problem is the "correct answer" is not on the base layer. I have tried using Freeform Hotspot and Freeform Pick One slide templates, but both only allow you to select something on the base layer as any sort of answer selection.
Is there any way to allow users to choose their answer selection on a different layer and still record their response?
I am including a link to Review 360 so you can see what I have created so far. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/771053a3-152f-47a2-b146-a3655d776c86/review
Hi Vito,
Though there are different ways to achieve what you want. The fast way to add on from what you already have in Pick One is to:
On option objects layer
1. Add selected states to the three options, so the objects can be selected.
On base layer
1. Add two invisible objects and set one for correct, the other one for incorrect from the Form view.
2. Add trigger to change the invisible correct object to be selected when sumitting if the real correct one (Lock) in the layer is selected.
3. Add trigger to change the invisible incorrect object to be selected when sumitting if the real correct one (Lock) in the layer isn't selected.Hi Joanne,
Thank you for the help. I tried a version of what you suggested and it worked for the most part.
I added invisible objects for each selection type and set the Lock object as correct. I added triggers and added a True/False variable for each selection so each layer could communicate with the base layer.
My only problem now is if I have both the correct and incorrect response selected, it still marks the answer as correct. For example, if Lock is selected AND Switch User is selected, it will mark as correct.
Hi Vito, if it is a multiple choice, you can use "Button Set 1" function to make the selected objects only be chose one at a time. Please refer to the image below to learn the setting, users will only be allowed to select only one option then.
This is a brilliant solution, and I think you've saved me in the 11th hour. :)
Thank you for posting this!
