Flagging Skipped Questions in a Final Assessment

Hi ShellyWilliams​ I'm not sure if this exactly meets your needs, but may I suggest two options?

 
It's easy to set up a True/False variable that indicates whether the answer has been answered or not. On the correct AND incorrect layers for each question, use a trigger that sets the QuestionNumberx_Answered variable to TRUE when the layer timeline begins. On the base layer, use an icon (hidden state, indicating that this question has already been answered) that changes to normal (visible) at the start of the timeline if the variable is true. When you return to it using the PREVIOUS button, you can “see” whether the question has already been answered thanks to the icon. Be careful with the slide setting: "On a new visit:.. ." to adjust the desired behavior.     Of course, you can reverse this logic: icon present/screen appearance style “awaiting your response!” if the variable is false; other more neutral appearance if the variable is “true”).

If you want to “skip” the answered question without seing it when you use the Back button, it is possible, but it requires more triggers and more viariable (especially to detect if you are going back: in this case, you want to “go back” one question automatically, and then another... until you reach an unanswered question; or if you are going forward...). Possible. But with 20 questions, for example, you quickly lose track of which questions have been answered, left for later, or not yet answered.

You can also create a small menu of questions in the form of buttons, always visible in the corner of the screen, which you can use to navigate to each screen/question, with a small “Done” icon next to each question (which appears when the QuestionNumberx_Answered variable changes to TRUE). Be careful to set the trigger correctly: there is a difference in behavior between “when the variable changes” = immediate effect and "when the timeline starts, if the variable is TRUE = effect visible on the next screen (whatever it may be). Depending on your needs, but it would be OK in the case of this small menu. This way, you can also “block” the ability to return to a question by setting the button (with “Done” / variable = TRUE) to disabled state.
A final trigger works “when all buttons are disabled” and takes you to the results screen.

You can mix the two. 😁

This visible menu allows learners to see everything about your knowledge assessment exercise: number of questions, their progress, questions “done” and “to do.” They are in control of their exercise. In my opinion.

Please let me know yours.
