Variable to pull in a score from a freeform question?
Hello,
(1) What variable can I create to pull in a score from a freeform question?
(2) Could I put the variable into another slide (customized results slide) to pull the score from each separat...
This might work for you:
- For each question, create a T/F variable to track whether the question was answered correctly or not. Have the default value be False (for "incorrect").
- On each question slide, adjust the variable based on how the user answered.
- If you're using the built-in Feedback, add a trigger to the Correct layer that adjusts the corresponding variable to True.
- If you're not giving Feedback, add a trigger that adjusts the corresponding variable to True with the condition that the correct item(s) = Selected. The trigger should be attached to whatever the user clicks to submit their answer.
- Note: Such a trigger must come before any trigger that jumps to another slide.
For showing results, change the states of objects using triggers with conditions that check the values of the variables.
- Note: If you want to submit results to an LMS, you do need to use a Graded Results Slide. However, you can customize it to show the results in whatever way you want.
If you don't already know how to use trigger conditions and variables, it's worth it to learn. They provide the real power in Storyline. Here are some User Guide articles to get you started:
