Looking for a fun way to quiz learners? This Storyline 360* template is just the thing. Here’s how it works: Each of the five levels of this gamified quiz has a question bank with 20 questions that appear in random order. When the learner starts a level, the clock begins counting down: they have one minute to answer as many questions as possible. Every correct answer buys five more seconds to answer other questions. To move on to the next level, your learners must answer 10 out of 20 questions correctly. Ten correct answers will earn them one star, 15 will earn them two, and if they get all the answers right, they’ll get three stars. This system of stars will have your learners trying again and again to beat their own score!
