Create a multiple choice graded question

“

- [Instructor] Whether you're testing simple facts or you're diving into scenarios, multiple choice questions are easily one of the most flexible tools you have in your e-learning toolkit. Let's take a look here at how they work in storyline. So we're continuing with our classroom activity questions, a little impromptu mini reviews. We're reworking these into e-learning interactions. This time we're looking at the distance, recommended distance to camp from a water source. So I've already copied the speaker notes here to a little text doc, so I can easily copy and paste those into our question. And let's jump back into story view and we'll just choose our example. And this time we'll add the multiple choice question. What I like about the multiple choice question is there are some differences. There are some things we can do with this question type that we can't do with others. So I'll take a look at that here. So multiple choice and insert. Now again, we're taken to story view. So it's all just here about copying and pasting the questions in. There certainly is a lot of copy and paste in e-learning, isn't there? I can, you know, I'd probably type this faster. So 50 feet. What I like here is that we can use the Tab key. So if you are comfortable navigating with the keyboard, then this is a lot faster I think, than I'm jumping back and forth and copying and pasting each time for those. But for the feedback, I certainly want to do some copy and paste. The correct answer is C, so I'm just going to click that option. Now here's what's really neat about multiple choice questions. So right now it looks a lot like what we saw with the true false because you can see that we have the question level feedback. I can give you feedback that says, "Hey, you got it right," or "Hey, you got it wrong," or I can actually give specific feedback for each choice, which means I can address each choice that learner makes, and then address why or why not, why their choice was correct or why their choice wasn't correct. It's a far better way to give more meaningful feedback to our learners. So to do that, we need to come up top, and we're going to choose here for feedback. You can see we have the by question, but if I choose by choice, watch how these fields change. And then we get an extra column over here. So I'll say by choice, and look at that. Now I have feedback boxes here, feedback fields for each of the four choices. Alright, so let's do this. I'm going to copy and just drop this in real quick, pretty fast copy and paster. And then we put more. So a lot nicer way. Now we can't do this with all of the choices, all the question types, especially multiple select because there'd just be too many variables involved in terms of the combination. But for a multiple choice, we can provide that kind of feedback. We could also do it with a scoring too, for multiple choice. So head up top here for scoring up here on the ribbon. You see where by question. And right now we're giving specific scoring for either correct or incorrect. Either get 10 points if you get it correct, or you get zero points if you get it incorrect. But we could also award points for each of these answers. So choose by choice. And then we're going to get a separate column here for points. So we could maybe some choices, maybe they're all right in some sense. Maybe it's an ethics type question where we have the preferred answer, but you'd still legally be correct, you know, something like that where there's good choices, but better choices, right? So maybe some points could be awarded. I don't think we need to do that here for camping. I'm just going to go back to question to keep it simple. But that option is also there for multiple choice. Now, jump over here to slide view real quick. I want to show you something about the slide layers. So look at this. Instead of seeing the correct and incorrect, we now see slide layers that are set up for each of the specific choice feedback. So that makes it really easy for you as the storyline designer to jump in here and identify which layer, which feedback is associated with each choice the learner makes. And that's how easy it is to create multiple choice questions in storyline while providing more specific and meaningful feedback for each choice the learner makes.
