Storyline 360: Adding Result Slides
Result slides give learners dynamic feedback at the end of quizzes and surveys. They also send reporting and tracking information to learning management systems, including learners' responses and scores. You can use multiple result slides in a Storyline 360 course and even combine them for a composite score. In this tutorial, we'll look at adding result slides to a project and configuring their properties. Add a Result Slide Choose a Quiz Type Identify the Questions to Be Tracked Enable the Quiz Timer (Optional) Name Your Quiz Define the Passing Score (for Graded Results) Score Only Viewed Questions (Optional) Choose Result Slide Features Format Result Slide Buttons Step 1: Add a Result Slide First, do any of the following: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Results. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon and click Results. In Story View, right-click anywhere in the workspace, scroll to New Slide, and choose Results. In Slide View or Form View, right-click anywhere in the Scenes panel, scroll to New Slide, and choose Results. When the Insert Slide window appears, choose the type of result slide you want to add. Use the filters on the left side of the window to narrow your choices. There are four result-slide types: Graded: Choose a graded result slide when you want to track the score for the quiz. You'll have options to show the learner's score, the passing score, and passed/failed feedback. Survey: Choose a survey result slide for non-graded questions. Blank: Choose a blank result slide when you need to send completion data to an LMS/LRS but want to design the slide from scratch. For example, you might want to disguise it as a summary, thank you, or standard content slide. Combined: Choose a combined result slide when you want to combine multiple quiz results into one final result slide where learners must pass all quizzes to pass the course. Tip: As of June 2022, accessible-by-default templates are available in the gallery of result slide templates in addition to legacy and Content Library 360 templates. Click Insert Slide to add the result slide to your course. The Quiz Settings window appears, as shown below, where you can name your quiz, identify the questions you want to track, define the passing score, enable the quiz timer, and more. Step 2: Choose a Quiz Type Use the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the Quiz Settings window to choose one of these quiz types: Final Assessment: Creates a standard “submit results” trigger on the result slide. This is the default quiz type. A final assessment can be scored and tracked by your LMS/LRS, and it’s automatically added to your LMS/LRS tracking options. Pre-Check: Creates a conditional “submit results” trigger, which depends on the learner passing the quiz. A pre-check quiz can be scored and tracked by your LMS/LRS only if the learner passes. If they fail, the quiz won’t get reported to your LMS/LRS, and the learner has an opportunity to pass another quiz later in the course. Pre-checks are automatically added to your LMS/LRS tracking options. (Even though a failed pre-check doesn’t get reported, the question data still gets submitted to the LMS/LRS. Depending on your LMS/LRS, you might be able to see how a learner responded to a failed pre-check.) Knowledge Check: This quiz type isn’t scored or tracked by your LMS/LRS. Therefore, a “submit results” trigger isn’t created. A knowledge check simply gives the learner an opportunity to test their knowledge and reinforce what they learned. Step 3: Identify the Questions to Be Tracked A result slide can track question slides or other result slides. Use the Calculate results for drop-down list to select one of the following, then mark the boxes for the question slides or result slides you want to track. Questions Use this option to track individual question slides and question draws. Result Slides Use this option to combine other result slides into a final result slide. Then decide how you want to score the combined quizzes, using the scoring options that appear: User must pass each quiz: Require learners to pass each child quiz. If they fail any quiz, then they fail the entire course. Combine points from each quiz: Add the points from all child quizzes together as the final score for the course. Then enter a percentage in the Combined Passing Score field at the bottom of the window. In this scenario, a learner could fail one or more quizzes and still pass the overall course. When combining multiple quizzes into a final result slide, learners will need to visit each of the child result slides in order to complete the course. Otherwise, the course status will be marked incomplete. Step 4: Enable the Quiz Timer (Optional) You can set a time limit for your quiz, using the options in the upper right corner of the Quiz Settings window. Mark the Quiz Timer box, then enter the number of minutes you want to allow for the quiz. Click the stopwatch icon to choose when the timer should start counting down and how you want it to display. (Note: The responsive mobile player always uses the time remaining format.) Learners will see the quiz timer in the upper right corner of the player frame. In the modern player, you can hide the quiz timer by turning off the menus and controls. However, there’s no option to hide the quiz timer in the classic player. Step 5: Name Your Quiz As of August 2022, you can assign unique names to quiz result slides, making it easy to identify the corresponding built-in variables for each quiz. For example, a quiz named Time_Management generates variables such as Time_Management.PassPercent and Time_Management.ScorePoints . Use letters, numbers, and underscores to name your quizzes. Spaces, hyphens, and special characters aren't allowed. Quiz names won't show in your published course. They're only visible in your project file. Step 6: Define the Passing Score (for Graded Quizzes) If you're tracking graded questions, enter a percentage in the Passing Score field at the bottom of the Quiz Settings window. Step 7: Score Only Viewed Questions (Optional) As of September 2020, you can allow learners to skip quiz questions without negatively affecting their score by grading only the questions they view. Simply check the box to Only score viewed questions. For example, you might branch learners to different questions based on their answers to previous questions, which means they could skip some questions along the way. Unviewed Questions vs. Unanswered Questions Unviewed questions and unanswered questions are treated differently. When you score only the questions learners view, they won’t be penalized for questions they don’t see. However, if learners visit questions and then skip them without answering, those questions will count against their quiz score. Step 8: Choose Result Slide Features Finally, choose the features you want to display on your result slide. If the Quiz Settings window is open, click OK to close it, then go to the Result Tools—Design tab on the ribbon. Choose from the following features, and click the slide where you want them to appear. You can add features to the base layer of the result slide or to the success/failure layers. For example, you might add a review button to the base layer so learners can review the quiz whether they pass or fail. And you might add a print button to the success layer so learners who pass the quiz can print their results. You could also add a retry button to the failure layer so they can retake the quiz if they fail. Passing Percent Add a placeholder that displays the percentage required to pass. Format the text box any way you like. User Percent Add a placeholder to your slide that displays the percentage the learner achieved. Format the text box any way you like. Passing Points Add a placeholder that displays the number of points required to pass. Format the text box any way you like. User Points Add a placeholder to your slide that displays the number of points the learner earned. Format the text box any way you like. Review Button Add a Review Quiz button to your result slide, which lets learners go back and review the answers they submitted (but they can't change their answers). To give learners visual feedback on their performance, double-click the Review results trigger in the Triggers panel and mark the box to Show correct/incorrect responses when reviewing. To let learners review only the questions they got wrong, mark the box to Review only incorrect questions. Note: The review button is disabled for combined result slides. Print Button Add a Print Results button to your result slide, which lets learners print out a summary of their results. To include the learner's name on the printed report, double-click the Print results trigger in the Triggers panel and mark the box to Prompt the user for their name. Pro Tip: Learners can choose Save as PDF from the print dialog's Destination drop-down list to make the text searchable. Retry Button Add a Retry Quiz button to your result slide, which gives learners an unlimited number of attempts to retake the quiz. (To limit the number of quiz attempts, review this user guide.) If the quiz drew a subset of questions from a question bank, learners will see a different subset of questions each time they retake the quiz. To let learners retry only the questions they got wrong, double-click the Reset results trigger in the Triggers panel and mark the box to Reset only incorrect questions. Note: The retry button is disabled for combined result slides. Tip: You can adjust the passing score and timer settings on the ribbon or in the Quiz Settings window, as described above Step 9: Format Result Slide Buttons You can format buttons on your result slide to match the rest of your course design. Select a button on your slide, go to the Button Tools—Format tab on the ribbon, and make your design selections. You can add icons, change the button style, adjust the colors, and add effects. To learn more about working with buttons, review this user guide. Can I Edit My Result Slide Later? Absolutely! Open your result slide in Slide View. Then go to the Result Tools—Design tab on the ribbon and click Quiz Settings.Storyline 360: Adding Form-Based Questions

See these user guides for details: Working with Check Boxes Working with Radio ButtonsHow to Randomize Quiz Questions in Storyline 360
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 the slides 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.

Question banks are one of the really useful, but seldom utilized, quizzing features in Storyline 360. The main reason to use a question bank is to randomize the order of questions in a quiz. Instructional designers do this so learners are less likely to encounter the same quiz twice, which can help avoid cheating. Another reason to use question banks: you can manage and organize related questions in one easy place. With that in mind, here are five things you should know about working with the question bank feature in Storyline 360. Insert Question Banks From The Slides Tab To create and manage existing question banks, you can head on over to the Slides tab on the Storyline ribbon. There you'll see the Questions Banks button, with a small dropdown arrow. From the dropdown, you can create a new question bank or make changes to an existing question bank. Create Questions from Inside a Bank When you create a new question bank, Storyline 360 opens a new tab for that bank. You then have the option of creating new question slides from within the question bank, or importing existing question slides that already exist in your .STORY project. It's important to note that if you create a new question slide from inside the question bank, the question slide won’t exist as an individual slide in your .STORY file. The question slide will only exist within the question bank. In the future if you want to make edits to the slide, you’ll first need to navigate to the question bank and open it in order to access the question slide you want to edit. Copying vs. Moving Questions into a Bank If you created your question slides outside of the bank, you can import existing slides into a question bank. When the Import Questions window opens, a drop-down menu at the top provides the option to either copy or move selected slides into the bank. If you choose to copy, the slides will remain in their original location in the .STORY file, and Storyline 360 will create a duplicate copy of it in the question bank. This means if you copy, you will have two versions of the same slide. If you need to update your slide, you’ll need to do so in both places. If you don’t want duplicate slides, use the Move option to move the slide from its original location into the question bank. Slide Draws Are Used to Display the Bank Questions Once you’ve got a great question bank, the next step is to give learners access. This is done using a slide draw to extract question slides from a bank. To create a slide draw, head to the Slides tab on the Storyline ribbon and click the Question Banks dropdown button. From here you can click New Draw From Question Bank. This will insert a new slide into your project. You can double-click on this slide and then select your question bank, as well as the specific number of questions you want in this quiz, and the order in which you want them displayed. Slide Draws Can Be Fixed or Random Question banks make it really easy to randomize questions. Simply select the Draw questions randomly option in the slide draw window. You can even choose whether each individual question is “Always,” “Never,” or “Randomly” included in your slide draw. If you want the questions to appear in a fixed order, rather than randomly, simply deselect the Draw questions randomly option. These five important points will help you set up and manage your next randomized quiz in a jiffy. Do you have any experience using banks of questions in your own projects?

Using Pre-Test Quizzes in E-Learning #382: Challenge | Recap As course designers, we should always look for ways to design better and more meaningful learning experiences. Unfortunately, using a one-size-fits-all approach in e-learning rarely meets the individual needs of the learners. Even in compliance and regulatory courses, there's an opportunity to sprinkle in personalized content and resources that address the individual needs of learners. That's where pre-tests can help. Using Pre-Test Activities Using pre-test activities at the beginning of the course or module, you can personalize the learning by: Identifying areas where learners need more (or less) support Giving learners customized recommendations Letting learners skip ahead to only those topics where they need the most help Pre-tests are like dress rehearsals for a play. They're designed to help the cast and crew figure out what works and what doesn't before the show actually happens. For course designers, figuring out what learners know and don't know can help improve the learning experience. And that's what this week's challenge is all about. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share a pre-test example to show how they can be used to personalize the learning experience.

Have you ever needed to create a self-assessment, a personality test, or another quiz type that requires custom feedback depending on the score (e.g., What type of manager are you?)? If so, this Storyline 360 Flexible Quiz Scoring template is the perfect starting point. In this article, I’ll walk you through how to customize this template to fit your needs. I’ll show you how to: Add questions Edit the point values of each choice Add more feedback options Display a score or percentage on the results screen What’s the fastest way to add questions? The template includes a total of five questions. To add more questions, simply: Right-click a question slide Select Duplicate That’s it! I also included the question number along with the total number of questions in the quiz. I personally like adding this detail so learners can see their progress. And because I used the built-in slide number variables, there’s no need to update the numbers manually. When you duplicate a slide, you’ll see both the question number and the total number of questions in the quiz update on all slides—automatically. Pro tip: If you want to customize the look and feel of the quiz slides, making these changes before you duplicate them will save you time. Can I change how many points each choice is worth? Absolutely! By default, Storyline 360 lets you assign a point value for getting the question right and another point value for getting it wrong. But did you know you can also assign a different score to each answer choice? That’s exactly what I did for this template. For each question, I assigned a different point value to each choice—one choice is worth one point, one is worth three points, and the other choice is worth five points. If you want to edit the point value for each choice, simply: Select a question slide Click Form View In the Points column, edit the number value for each choice You’ll notice I included the point values for each choice in Slide View. This can be helpful for development or review purposes. Just remember to delete the point values before publishing your course so the learner is focused on their options rather than on how much each option is worth. Pro tip: If you edit the point values and want to keep the same scoring for all quiz questions, delete the other question slides in the template, and duplicate the one you customized. How do I add more feedback options? For this template, I decided to use a blank results slide so I could design the slide from scratch. I created three custom feedback layers: low score, medium score, and high score. If that works for your project as well, then simply edit the feedback text as needed and you’re all set! But what if you want to include more than three possible outcomes? No problem! Just follow the steps below. 1. Duplicate layers Start by duplicating the existing layers as many times as needed and editing the text. It’s always a good idea to rename the layers so they’re easy to identify. For template purposes, I included the text—high/medium/low score—in the results to indicate which layer is showing. You can customize it or delete it altogether so it’s not visible to learners. 2. Add/edit triggers on the base layer Once you have your layers in place, you’ll need to add/edit the triggers on the results slide (base layer). Since my template has three possible outcomes, I created three triggers to show the appropriate layer depending on the score. If you have four possible outcomes, then you’ll need to add one more trigger so that you have a total of four triggers. For five outcomes, you’ll need five triggers, and so on. Once you’ve added your additional triggers, make sure you edit each trigger to show the correct layer. You’ll also want to edit the point values that display each layer to match your own scoring rubric. What if I want to display a score or percentage on the results screen? If you’re creating a quiz that requires you to display a score or percentage at the end, you’ll want to add variable references or the following text to the results slide (base layer): Display Type Add the Text Score %Results.ScorePoints% Percentage %Results.ScorePercent%% Pro tip: Since the feedback text is on the layers, make sure you place the score/percentage text where it will be visible. One idea would be to replace the icon at the top with your chosen scoring method.
