Use Storyline 360's freeform text-entry question to create your own fill-in-the-blank assessments. Tip: You can add multiple text-entry fields to a single slide, but only one can be evaluated in an assessment. If you need to evaluate more than one text-entry field on the same slide, consider this method instead. Insert a Freeform Text-Entry Question Define Acceptable Answers Choose How the Question Will Be Submitted Customize the Question Properties Step 1: Insert a Freeform Text-Entry Question There are two ways to create a text-entry question. If you've already added a data-entry field to an existing slide, you can convert it to a freeform question. If you'd prefer to start from scratch, do this: First, do any of the following: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Freeform Question. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon and click Freeform Question. In Story View, right-click anywhere in the workspace, scroll to New Slide, and choose Freeform Question. In Slide View or Form View, right-click anywhere in the Scenes panel, scroll to New Slide, and choose Freeform Question. When the Insert Slide window appears, use the search field at the top and the filters along the left edge to locate the type of question you want to add. The slide browser includes built-in templates as well as professionally-designed Content Library 360 templates. When you click a thumbnail image for a slide, the right side of the window shows a description of that question type. Click Insert Slide to add it to your project. A new text-entry question will open in Slide View and a text-entry field will automatically be added for you. Switch to Form View and proceed to the next step to define acceptable answers. Step 2: Define Acceptable Answers By default, text-entry questions are graded assessments. To define acceptable answers, switch to Form View and type the answers in the answer grid. If the answers are case-sensitive, mark the Answers are case sensitive box above the grid. If your question doesn't have correct and incorrect responses (i.e., it's a survey question), go to the Question tab on the ribbon and select None from the Score drop-down to make it ungraded. (The answer grid will disappear.) Tips: One way to guide learners toward focused responses is to set character limits on text-entry fields. If you convert an existing slide with data-entry fields into a freeform text-entry question, use the Field to evaluate drop-down to identify the field you want to evaluate. Only one field per slide can be evaluated. Step 3: Choose How the Question Will Be Submitted Learners can click the built-in Submit button on your course player to submit their text-entry responses for evaluation. However, if you're not using the built-in Submit button or you want to provide another way to submit responses, do one or both of the following: Use your own custom submit button If you've added your own custom button or hotspot to the slide that you'd like to use as the submission method, select it from the Submit Button drop-down. Assign submit keys You can assign a keystroke or combination of keystrokes to submit the learner's answer for evaluation. Just click in the Submit Keys field and press the key or combination of keys you want to use. If you change your mind, you can either press the correct key(s), which will update the Submit Keys field, or click the X button to clear the field altogether. Tip: The Enter key always submits a text-entry field for evaluation, so you don't need to define it here. Step 4: Customize the Question Properties After creating a freeform text-entry question, you can customize several of its attributes, including feedback, branching, score, number of attempts, and whether learners are required to answer it or allowed to skip it. To learn how, see Working with the Question Editor. Can I Convert a Freeform Question into a Non-Question Slide? Yes. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click Remove Freeform. When you remove freeform functionality from a question, it becomes a standard content slide. Text and other objects remain intact. Only question-related properties, such as score and feedback, are removed.3.3KViews1like0CommentsStoryline: Gamified Quiz Template With Timer

Do’s and don’ts knowledge checks are fast, low-stakes tools for helping learners assess their understanding. While you’ll often see them shared as true/false and multiple choice questions, those aren’t your only options. In this example, learners use a slider to choose whether behaviors are smart habits or best avoided. Since this is a different interaction than people might expect for the content, it adds a dash of novelty. Plus, sliding builds in a brief pause for learners to question whether their initial choice is the right one. In Storyline 360, you can add prebuilt sliders to a slide with just a click. Then all you have to do is customize the design around your interaction and use the Trigger Wizard to quickly set up feedback. So with just a few steps, you can craft a custom interaction that grabs learners’ attention.

Storyline 360's form-based Feedback window makes it easy to add text, audio, and branching to your feedback. (For more control over your feedback design, review Working with Feedback Layers.) Accessing the Feedback Window Adding and Formatting Feedback Text Adding and Editing Audio Branching to Other Slides Accessing the Feedback Window To access the Feedback window from a question slide, switch to Form View and click the More button beside any feedback field. (If you don't see any More buttons, you'll need to enable feedback first.) Adding and Formatting Feedback Text Enter text for the feedback prompt in the field at the top of the window, or copy and paste it from another source. Use the buttons in the upper left corner to add formatting and hyperlinks to your text. Tip: You'll need to install a right-to-left keyboard input language in Windows to see the Right-to-Left Text Direction button. Adding and Editing Audio Use the buttons in the lower left corner of the Feedback window to add and edit audio. Record Click the red button to record narration for the feedback prompt. Click it again to stop recording. Rewind Click the rewind button to start over when you're previewing your audio. Play/Pause Click the play button to preview your audio. Click it again to pause playback. Delete Click the X button to delete your audio for the feedback prompt. Edit Click the waveform icon to open the built-in audio editor. (Learn more about editing audio.) Import Click the speaker icon to add audio for the feedback prompt. You can insert an audio file, audio from the media library, text-to-speech clips, or sound effects. Branching to Other Slides By default, all slides branch to the next slide in the course, 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. Use the branching drop-down to choose what will happen when learners advance past the current slide. Next Slide This jumps to the next slide in the course. Previous Slide This jumps back to the last slide viewed. (It might not be sequentially before the current slide.) Specific Scene Select any scene in your course to jump directly to it. Specific Slide Select any slide in your course to jump directly to it. Result Slide Select any result slide in your course. This ends the quiz and takes the learner to the result slide.5.4KViews0likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Adding Form-Based Questions

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 the Only score viewed questions setting. In our Captivate files, the minimum passing score is 80 points. But Storyline only offers a Passing Score parameter (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 and 1.6 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 the Passing 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 Score percentage 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 the Complete 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 that Trigger. Any guidance or ideas is much appreciated from a new-to-Storyline company. Thank you in advance for your time!357Views0likes2CommentsVery confused about creating a quiz
