Enabling Default Feedback for New Questions

You can enable feedback by default for all new questions to save time. Here's how:

In Question List View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Quiz Properties.
Select the Question Defaults tab on the left side of the window.
Mark one or both of the feedback boxes to enable feedback for new graded and/or survey questions.
Click OK.

Tips:

Existing questions won't be affected when you change the default settings, so it's a good idea to set your question defaults before adding slides to your quiz.
You can override the default feedback for a specific slide by typing new text in the feedback fields for that slide (see below).
If you'd prefer to change the default feedback text for all slides at once, edit the text labels in your player.
To give feedback a consistent design throughout your quiz, edit the feedback master.

Setting Feedback in Form View

To enable feedback for an individual question slide in Form View, do this:

Determine how feedback will be triggered. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and choose an option from the Feedback drop-down.
- None: This option prevents any feedback from displaying for the question.
- By Question: This lets you show feedback for the overall question. For graded questions, you can provide correct and incorrect feedback. For survey questions, you can provide “thank you” feedback.
- By Choice: This lets you show different feedback for each answer choice. This option is only available for Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Pick One, Which Word, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions.
Enter the appropriate text into the feedback fields. If you're displaying feedback by question, the fields are at the bottom of the window. If you're displaying feedback by choice, they're to the right of each answer choice.

If you allow more than one attempt for a graded question and you're displaying feedback by question, you can customize the “try again” feedback.

If you've enabled the quiz review feature on your result slide, you can also include “post-quiz review” feedback.
To add hyperlinks, audio, or branching to your feedback, click the More button beside any feedback field. See Using the Feedback Window for details. (We'll talk more about branching later in this user guide.)
To change how your feedback looks, switch to Slide View and edit the feedback layers. To give all the feedback layers throughout your quiz a consistent design, edit the feedback master.

Setting Feedback in Slide View

To enable feedback for an individual question slide in Slide View, do this:

Determine how feedback will be triggered. Go to the Question panel on the right side of the screen and choose an option from the Feedback drop-down.
- None: This option prevents any feedback from displaying for the question.
- By Question: This lets you show feedback for the overall question. For graded questions, you can provide correct and incorrect feedback. For survey questions, you can provide “thank you” feedback.
- By Choice: This lets you show different feedback for each answer choice. This option is only available for Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Pick One, Which Word, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions.
Use the feedback layers in the lower right corner of the screen to customize the text, images, audio, video, and other resources you plan to use for feedback. To learn more about feedback layers, see this user guide.

If you're displaying feedback by choice, you'll need to switch to Form View to enter the feedback text for each answer choice, then return to Slide View to customize the feedback layers.
To give all the feedback layers throughout your quiz a consistent design, edit the feedback master.

Branching to Other Slides Based on Feedback

By default, all slides branch to the next slide in the quiz, but you can change this behavior. For example, you might want to branch learners to a certain slide if they get a particular question right and another slide if they get it wrong.

Enable feedback for the question as described above.
In Form View, click the More button beside any feedback field (except Post-Quiz Review).
When the Feedback window appears, use the branching drop-down to choose what should happen when learners advance past the current slide.
- Next Slide: This jumps to the next slide in the quiz.
- Previous Slide: This jumps back to the last slide viewed. (It might not be sequentially before the current slide.)
- Finish Quiz: This jumps to the result slide for your quiz.
- Specific Question Group: Select any question group in your quiz to jump directly to it.
- Specific Slide: Select any slide in your quiz to jump directly to it.
Click OK.
