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: Text-Entry Questions
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.

Storyline 360: Using the Feedback Window
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.

Storyline 3: Using Feedback Masters
Feedback masters in Storyline 3 let you control the default colors, fonts, text, and objects for question feedback layers. Save time by using feedback masters to give your feedback layers a consistent look and feel throughout your course. Switching to Feedback Master View Adding Feedback Masters and Layouts Managing Feedback Masters and Layouts Designing Feedback Masters and Layouts Closing Feedback Master View Changing Layouts for Existing Feedback Layers Switching to Feedback Master View To switch to the feedback master, go to the View tab on the ribbon and click Feedback Master. A Storyline course can have as many feedback masters as you want, and every course has at least one. Thumbnail images of your feedback masters appear in the left panel. If you haven't created any yet, you'll see the default feedback master. Each feedback master is a collection of layouts for various types of feedback, including Correct, Incorrect, Try Again, Review, and Thank You. The feedback master thumbnail in the left panel is slightly larger than the thumbnails of its layouts below. Each layout inherits all the properties of its parent feedback master, but you can customize each layout to display content in a specific way. For example, you might design your correct feedback layout with affirmative text and images, while your incorrect feedback layout might have placeholders for corrective content. Adding Feedback Masters and Layouts To create a new feedback master, switch to Feedback Master view, then do either of the following: Go to the Feedback Master tab on the ribbon and click Insert Slide Master. Right-click anywhere in the left panel and select Insert Slide Master. You can also add more layouts to each feedback master. Here’s how: In the left panel, select the feedback master where you want to add a new layout. Go to the Feedback Master tab on the ribbon and click Insert Layout, or right-click the feedback master thumbnail and select Insert Layout. The new layout will inherit the properties of its parent feedback master, and it'll have a Title text box (which can be deleted or turned off—see below). Managing Feedback Masters and Layouts You can delete, rename, preserve, and duplicate feedback masters and layouts. Delete To delete a feedback master and all its layouts, select the feedback master in the left panel and press the Delete key on your keyboard (or click Delete on the ribbon). If you only want to delete a layout (but not its parent feedback master), select the layout in the left panel and press the Delete key on your keyboard (or click Delete on the ribbon). Tip: You can't delete a feedback master or layout that's currently being used by slides in your course. Rename It's a good idea to give your feedback masters and layouts recognizable names. This makes it easier to identify and apply them to slides throughout your course. To rename a feedback master or a layout, select it in the left panel, go to the Feedback Master tab on the ribbon, and click Rename. Another way to rename is to right-click a feedback master or layout, then select Rename Master or Rename Layout. Preserve If a feedback master isn't currently being used by any layers in your course but you want to keep it for later use, you can preserve it. Select the feedback master in the left panel, go to the Feedback Master tab on the ribbon, and click Preserve. You can also right-click the feedback master and select Preserve Master. Duplicate If you want to create new feedback masters or layouts similar to existing ones, just duplicate them. Right-click the feedback master or layout in the left panel, then select Duplicate Slide Master or Duplicate Layout. Designing Feedback Masters and Layouts To design your feedback masters and layouts, use the Home, Insert, Transitions, and Animations tabs on the ribbon as well as the following features found on the Feedback Master tab. Insert Placeholder The Insert Placeholder drop-down has several optional placeholders for layouts: content, text, picture, character, video, and web object. After adding a placeholder to a layout, you can resize it and position it where you want it on the slide. This option isn't available for feedback masters. It only applies to layouts. Title The Title box adds a title placeholder to a layout when it's checked. Uncheck the box to remove the title placeholder. This option isn't available for feedback masters. It only applies to layouts. Theme Preview Feedback masters don't have themes of their own. They inherit colors and fonts from the slides to which they're applied. This means you can use the same feedback layout on multiple slides in your course, and it could have different colors and fonts on each slide if your project has multiple design themes. When you first open feedback master view, your layouts default to the colors and fonts of the last slide you viewed. This gives you an idea of how your layouts would look if they were applied to that slide. And if you have more than one design theme in your course, you can quickly switch between them to get a preview of how your feedback layouts look in each one. Just click the thumbnail images in the Theme Preview gallery to see how each theme affects your feedback layouts. There's a thumbnail image for each design theme in your course. Note that theme previews don't change the colors and fonts on your feedback layers. They just give you a glimpse of how your feedback layers look without having to close feedback master view. To actually change the colors and fonts on your feedback master layouts, use the Home and Format tabs on the ribbon. Tip: Theme previews are available in Storyline 3 builds 3.7.20003.0 and later. Background Styles The Background Styles drop-down lets you apply a consistent background design to your feedback masters and layouts. Hover over a background style to preview how it would look if applied to your feedback master. Click a background style to apply it to the current feedback master. If you only want to apply it to a specific layout, right-click the desired background style and choose Apply Only to This Slide. To customize the background style, click Format Background at the bottom of the drop-down, then use the Fill and Picture tabs to design your background style. To learn more about background styles, see this user guide. Hide Background Graphics When the Hide Background Graphics box is marked, objects on the current layout that have been inherited from its parent feedback master will be hidden. Hidden background graphics won't appear in your published course for any feedback layers that are based on that layout. This option isn't available for feedback masters. It only applies to layouts. Closing Feedback Master View To exit Feedback Master view, go to the Feedback Master tab on the ribbon and click Close Master View. Any changes you made to existing feedback masters and layouts will automatically be applied to slides in your course. Changing Layouts for Existing Feedback Layers To change the layout for an existing feedback layer in your course, switch to Slide View and select the feedback layer you want to edit in the Feedback Layers panel. Then do any of the following: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click Apply Layout, and choose a layout. Right-click the slide workspace, scroll to Apply Layout, and choose a layout. Right-click the slide thumbnail in the Scenes panel, scroll to Apply Layout, and choose a layout.

Storyline 3: Drawing Slides from a Question Bank
After creating a question bank and populating it with question slides, you can draw one or more slides from the bank to create dynamic quizzes in your Storyline 3 course. You can even randomize question draws to keep quizzes from being predictable. Multiple question draws can be pulled from the same question bank, which means you can reuse the same questions in more than one quiz. For example, you might add a question draw to the middle of your course as an ungraded knowledge check, then add another question draw to the end of your course as a graded assessment. Adding a Question Draw Editing a Question Draw Adding a Question Draw Select the scene in your course where you want to add a question draw (or create a new scene), then do this: Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click Question Banks, and choose New Draw from Question Bank. If you have more than one question bank in your project, use the Question Bank drop-down to select the one you want. (If you need to edit the question bank, click the Edit question bank link beside the drop-down.) To display questions in a random order, mark the box to Draw questions randomly. Use the Include drop-down to choose how many questions you want to draw from the bank. (This option will be grayed-out if you didn't randomize your questions in the previous step.) Use the Include in Shuffle column in the question grid to decide whether each question will be Randomly displayed (which is the default option), Never displayed, or Always displayed in this particular question draw. Locking slides affects how they're randomized and drawn into your course. For example, you might lock a slide to the top of your question draw so it'll always appear first in your quiz, regardless of how the other slides are randomized. To lock a slide, click Lock Question at the bottom of the window and choose one of the locking options. You can lock a slide to the question immediately above/below it or to the top/bottom of the question draw. If you change your mind, you can remove the lock in the same manner. To reorder slides for your question draw, simply drag them to a new location in the grid, or click Move Question at the bottom of the window and select Up/Down. When you've finished making your selections, click Insert to complete the question draw. The placeholder slide for question draws looks like this in Slide View. The placeholder thumbnail for question draws looks like this in Story View. Editing a Question Draw If you need to change the parameters for an existing question draw, such as randomization or how many questions are included, switch to Slide View and click the top half of the placeholder slide where it says Click to view the slide draw. (If you’re in Story View, just double-click the placeholder thumbnail.) If you need to edit the question bank from which the questions will be drawn, click the bottom half of the placeholder slide where it says Click to view the question bank. (Learn more about editing question banks.)

Storyline 3: Understanding Question Banks
Question banks are special containers for question slides. You put questions into a bank, then draw them out when you need them in your course. Why would you put question slides into a bank when you could just add them directly to your course? Great question! Here are a few benefits of question banks: You can reuse question bank slides as many times as you’d like throughout your course without having to duplicate them. Just add a question draw where you want a quiz to occur. For example, you might use the same question bank to populate an ungraded pretest and also a final, graded assessment. You can shuffle slides from a question bank so learners don’t always see questions in the same order. It keeps them honest. Each question draw can display an entire question bank or, if you’d prefer, just a random subset of questions from the bank. This is especially helpful if you use the same bank for multiple quizzes. It keeps quizzes from being redundant and predictable. To learn more about question banks and question draws, see these user guides: Creating and Managing Question Banks Adding and Editing Slides in a Question Bank Drawing Slides from a Question Bank

Basic layouts are based on your design theme and slide masters as well as templates you’ve added to the current project. Import Maintain a consistent design and save time by importing slides from PowerPoint presentations, Quizmaker quizzes, Engage interactions, and other Storyline projects. You can even import quiz questions from Excel spreadsheets and text files. Questions Choose from dozens of question templates, both form-based and freeform. Import Questions Use this option when you want to import slides from other question banks or scenes in the same project. You can either copy (duplicate) those slides in the open question bank or move them out of the original banks/scenes into the open question bank. Record Screen Record your screen once, then insert the screencast as a video on a single slide or as step-by-step interactive simulations—or both! You can’t record screencasts directly into a question bank. However, you can record screencasts into a scene in your project, then copy/paste them into a question bank. Cutting, Copying, Pasting, Duplicating, and Deleting Slides Use the clipboard options on the Home tab to cut, copy, and paste slides in the open question bank. You can even use the clipboard options to copy slides from scenes in your project and paste them into a question bank (and vice versa). To duplicate a slide, right-click it and choose Duplicate Question, or just press Ctrl+D. To delete a slide, press the Delete key on your keyboard or click Delete Question on the Home tab. Editing Questions in Slide View To edit a question, just double-click it to open it in Slide View where you can change the slide design and adjust the question properties. See Working with the Question Editor for details. You can also open a question for editing in either of these ways: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Edit Question. Right-click the question and choose Edit Question. Rearranging Slides The easiest way to rearrange slides in a question bank is to simply drag them with your mouse to a new location. You can also reorder slides in either of these ways: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click Move Question, then choose Up or Down. Right-click a question, scroll to Move Question, then choose Up or Down. Locking Slides Locking slides affects how they're randomized and drawn into your course. For example, you might lock a slide to the top of your question bank so it'll always appear first in your quiz—even if you randomize your question draw. To lock a question, go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click Lock Question, and choose one of the locking options. You can lock a slide to the question immediately above/below it or to the top/bottom of the question bank. If you change your mind, you can remove the lock in the same fashion. Working with Triggers You can also manage your triggers and variables while working in a question bank. Just use the triggers panel on the right side of the screen. Adjusting Slide Properties Manage the properties of your question bank slides—such as how they advance and which navigation controls they have—using the slide properties panel in the lower right corner of the screen.
