Using freeform questions
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 10:02 am
Another important thing to decide is whether your assessment is going to be scored or not. This will help you to pick the right format for your slide in Articulate Storyline. If it won’t be scored, you can just use standard content slides. This can give you more flexibility in the kind of interactivity you build. However, if you need to capture data about learners (e.g. pass/fail marks), then you’ll need to score your assessment. In this situation, it’s best to use freeform question slides. Let’s go through both these options.
For this example, we’ll look at the first task saudi arabia mobile number list the learner has to do as part of our assessment in Articulate Storyline. They need to decide whether a chemical mixture is a hazardous substance.
The first thing you need to do is add a new slide. You can choose a basic layout or freeform question. For now, let’s choose a basic layout: it’s possible to turn any slide into a freeform question even if you’ve picked a non-question layout at first! Once you have added your slide, lay out your assets on the slide. Go to the Insert tab to add your content.
On this slide we’ve laid out some text, images, and interactive check boxes. The check boxes can be added from the Input sub-menu on the Insert tab. Storyline’s check boxes are great because they are automatically interactive – you don’t have to add any special states or programming to them!
Now that you have everything laid out, you can convert your slide into a freeform question if you haven’t already chosen that slide type. Again, go to the Insert tab, then select Convert to Freeform. This will bring up a pop-up with different options. For this slide, we want a Pick One question as it the scenario gives a limited number of options for the learner to choose from. Select OK and the slide now shows a question form.
From here, you will indicate which objects on your slide you want the learner to be able to choose between. We’re going to choose the two check boxes. Select the space next to Choice A and then choose the object from the drop-down menu. The preview on the Question menu will highlight each object or group as you hover over it, making it easy to select the one you want. Repeat this for all the options the learner has to choose between. Then select the Correct choice using the radio buttons on the left of the form. For this example, the correct answer is ‘Yes’ which is Choice A.
