I have a colleague who has just built a course with question split throughout the project. they report to an individual results slide, with the option to review at the end.
When you press review the course jumps to the first question slide, but htting the next button moves through all the individual slides not just the question slides. Is this the expected behaviour?
I would have thought it would have only reviewed the quiz questions and cannot find any settings to change this.
Yup that is how it works. I got around this in a course I did by creating a slide that had links to each set of quiz questions and then had this open in a light box when they clicked a retry button. You might be able to do something like this for the review as well. It was a little clunky but at least the users did not have to step thru the entire course again.
I am not sure why it works that way either because you have the option to select the slides for the results screen. Logically if these are the activities that will be judged for the results screen, if you review the results, only those slides should be included in the review. The action is a 'review results'. Are you filing a change request Phil?
This seems really counter intuitive - for the developer and the learner.
I messed around with this for an hour or so before I checked this forum. A results slide should be a results slide, or a series of results slides. A user doesn't want to have to go through the whole course or scene to see the results quiz slide by quiz slide.
It's interesting, because if you publish to Articulate Online and run a report for a specific user you can see how they answered every question. So the information is available (of course : - )
Something like the following should work: Create a true/false variable named something like "Review" with a default value of "false". Set the value to "true" when the user clicks the review button on the quiz results slide
on the next button on the last slide of each group of questions, send the user to the next question if the variable "review" = true
if the condition is not met, send the user to the next slide. Sure it is a little extra work, but it shouldn't be that difficult or clunky.
I recently upgraded to SL2 and needed to update a course I built in SL1 that used the now obsolete way of moving through quiz slides strewn within the content. After 2 days of adding and deleting triggers and moving the quiz slides to a new/separate scene I finally through up my hands and headed to the community.
Because of you, I can now have a weekend. You really are an eLearning Hero.

Thanks Nancy, not the answer i wanted, thanks for a workaround as well. Might have to do a little backtracking on what i promised
I'd say it should work the way you thought it would! feature request/bug report.....

This should clearly be fixed.
Disagree?

I am dealing with this very issue right now...it's rather frustrating.
Does anyone know if this functionality was ever "fixed" by Articulate?
I think this is expected behaviour o is not broken, you need to build the branching in using variables it is a pain though.
Something like the following should work:
Create a true/false variable named something like "Review" with a default value of "false".
Set the value to "true" when the user clicks the review button on the quiz results slide
on the next button on the last slide of each group of questions, send the user to the next question if the variable "review" = true
if the condition is not met, send the user to the next slide.
Sure it is a little extra work, but it shouldn't be that difficult or clunky.
Thanks Phil and Owen for chiming in - Frank, let us know if you need anything else!
HI All,
Not much to add, except that I created a screencast tutorial here that explains how to do this...in case it helps!
Thanks Becky! You always have great screenrs!
Owen/Rebecca...THANK YOU!!!!
I was thinking that variables would be the answer, but I"m still a newbie at that aspect of Storyline.
I'll give this a try today...looks like it should do the trick! Thanks again for your creativity and knowledge sharing!
Hey, Frank,
Hoping it went well. Please shout out with any questions.
Thanks so much for this tip, Rebecca!

Thanks x10!
Glad this thread helped you out Michael and enjoy your weekend!

Hi Craig,
This conversation is a bit dated and it looks like you are using Storyline 360.
If you use the built-in review option in your course, only those slides should be displayed to your learner.
I've attached a super short example to demonstrate using a couple of randomized question banks.
