We are building our Captivate Classic files in Storyline 360, and our unique-but-not-overly-complicated Quiz setup is causing some confusion due to the differences in Storyline's Quiz scoring options being different from Captivate. I'll take the issue chronologically in the attached project file, which is an in-progress .story file that will serve as our template for these builds: Throughout the Chapter we have "Knowledge Check questions", which I put in quotes because in order to include them in the SCORM Interaction Data being sent to our LMS, they had to be created as "Graded Question" slides with a correct answer point value of 0. Examples are 1.4 KC_01 and 1.6 KC_02. For our Quiz (Scene 2), we have 10 unique questions, but 20 slides, since Storyline does not offer a "Penalty" or "Point Reduction" for getting a question wrong the first time (New Feature Request already submitted). If the student gets 2.2 Q1 correct on the first attempt, it's worth 10 points and they're jumped to 2.6 Q2. If the student gets 2.2 Q1 wrong on the first attempt, they're jumped to an identical version of the question on a separate slide (2.3 Q1_Redo), and the correct answer on that slide is worth 5 points. For clarity, we're not toggling on theOnly score viewed questionssetting. In our Captivate files, the minimum passing score is 80 points. But Storyline only offers aPassing Scoreparameter (Quiz Results slide > Quiz Settings) in a percentage format. I didn't think this would be a problem, as 80/150 = ~54%. But having to check off the boxes to include 1.4 KC_01 and1.6 KC_02 in the Quiz Results slide > Quiz Settings window got me thinking that my previewing of the file would not indicate completion status, so I reached out to Articulate Support. I cannot seem to get a straightforward answer to the following question: Is thePassing Score percentage calculated as a percentage of the total available points for all Graded Question slides? Or, since a percentage implies that there's no weighting to the Graded Question slides via points, is the Passing Scorepercentage calculated simply as a percentage of all of the Graded Question slides? This confusion is rooted in the fact that Storyline allows us to assign a number of points to a correct answer, and then does not allow us to base the Passing Score off of a set number of points, which is pretty odd. If the answer is the latter, we don't have any interest in calculating this percentage for each of our hundreds of individual Chapters with varying numbers of "Knowledge Check questions," and I'd likely set up a Variable to track the points scored on the Quiz and use theComplete Course Trigger at the end of the project. However, I can't seem to get Articulate Support to confirm two aspects of this change, should it be necessary: That the SCORM Interaction Data would be sent to our LMS if that Trigger was used by a button on one of the slides after the Quiz Results Slide, as it seems if we don't base the positive completion status off the built-in Quiz score, it's not clear that the SCORM Interaction Data will be sent; How the positive completion status is sent to our LMS when we use the Complete Course Trigger (Ie. in the SCORM Interaction Data, or some other way we're currently unfamiliar with). This is important after reading through the bulk of Storyline users asking for help when their LMS doesn't recognize the positive completion status when sent using thatTrigger. Any guidance or ideas is much appreciated from a new-to-Storyline company. Thank you in advance for your time!Very confused about creating a quiz
Hi, i must have watched every tutorial video on how to create a quiz, but i am so confused. I have understand how to insert the 'graded question' slide and fill in the question/answers in form view. Then all i want to do is add 4 more questions to the quiz which is where i'm confused. I've created questions in the question bank and followed the guide on how to 'draw' from it... but that's as far as i go before i'm confused.

A big part of being an e-learning developer is creating quizzes. Choosing question types, writing plausible choices, crafting meaningful feedback—these all go into building a great quiz. When putting together your quizzes, you might have encountered a situation where you’ve wanted or needed to randomize the questions in your quizzes. Why randomize questions? Perhaps your subject matter expert (SME) has provided you with more questions than you actually need to test learners on, or you might want to ensure that the order of the questions is different every time learners take the quiz, to minimize cheating and keep it interesting. Whatever your reason for randomizing quiz questions, one simple and straightforward way to do so in Storyline 360 is to use question banks. Here are the steps you can follow to randomize questions in a bank: Create a Question Bank Your first step is to create the question bank. To do so, you’ll head to the slides tab on the Storyline 360 ribbon. There you’ll notice the Question Banks button with a small arrow pointing down, indicating there is a dropdown menu. The Question Banks button is located under theslides tab on the ribbon. Click the Question Banks dropdown and select Create Question Bank. Once you’re in the Question Bank view, you can either import existing questions you already have in your .STORY project, or you can create new questions from inside the question bank. Once you’ve got all your questions inside the bank,you can also easily set all of your attempts and points in one fell swoop. A question bank that has been populated with question slides. Keep in mind you can have multiple question banks within one Storyline 360 project. You might create one bank of easy questions and one bank with more advanced questions. Or you might have one bank of questions for customer service reps and a different set of questions banked for sales reps. You can have as many question banks in your project as you need. Insert a Slide Draw Once you’ve set up your question bank, the next step is to insert a slide draw into your project. The slide draw is the slide in your project that displays the question bank to the learner. To insert a slide draw, head to the Question Bank dropdown button once more and click New Draw from Question Bank. The slide draw is inserted into your project and has a question mark on it, as indicated in the image below: Slide draw appears as a slide. Adjust Slide Draw Properties You can now double-click on the slide draw slide you’ve just inserted to open up the Draw Questions from Bank window. From here, you can control all the settings for how the question bank will appear for learners. Question Bank dropdown. If you have multiple question banks, use the Question Bank dropdown field to select the question bank you want to pull from on this slide draw. Edit Question Bank. Click this to open the selected question bank and make changes to the questions and slides contained within it. Draw Questions Randomly. Ding! Ding! Ding! This is the option you will select if you want to randomize the order of your questions. Include X Questions dropdown. From this dropdown you can select “All” or specify the number of questions you want included in the draw. Include in Shuffle dropdown. This can be set to “Randomly,” “Never,” or “Always,” depending on how often you want a question to appear. Here’s an example of how I can customize my question bank settings: I want to create a question bank that randomly draws five of the seven questions included in my bank, but I always want Question A to be included. I would simply set the Include X Questions dropdown at “5” instead of “All,” and I would change the Include in Shuffle option for Question A to “Always.” These settings will randomly draw five questions from the bank.Question A will always be included in the shuffle. Test Your Slide Draw Once you’ve set up your slide draw with all the right options, you’ll want to preview the scene that your question bank is in to test it out and see how it all comes together. Run through your question bank a few times to ensure that the correct number of questions are drawn, and in a random, different order each time. Hopefully these simple steps will help you create your own randomized quizzes.
