Question

Need to show a 'why the correct answer is correct' text ONLY in "Review"

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here at the most basic level, but after a couple hours of searching I can't seem to find an answer.
We're making a lot of simple four-question, MC quizzes that are interspersed within other content in our learning modules.  I -don't- want to give the students the correct/incorrect/rationale text during the quiz, only after if they choose to go back and Review upon completion.

Is this possible?  I can't sort it out, I'm only able to make the 'why the correct answer is correct' text appear in-quiz, not in-review.


Thanks!

    By default in Review mode the given answer(s) and the Correct answers are indicated using checkmarks. Is that not sufficient? If you want to add another textual message you'll need to use advanced/shared actions. You can use a condition based on the system variable cpInReviewMode, create a conditional action to be triggered On Enter for the quiz slide, and show a previously hidden text message:

       If cpInReviewMode is equal to 1

          Show message

       ELSE

          Hide message

     

    If you convert this action to a shared action, it will have only one parameter: the message, which is probably different for each quiz slide.

    Thanks, I'll play around with that and see if it's worth the effort.  We've got close to 70 of these little quizzes, all around how to use our SaaS platform, and there are quite a few questions that could use a little more explanation if they get them wrong, we just don't want to interrupt the flow while they're actively taking each quiz.

    Sure, but go for the Shared action, please. Of course, you need to create the text messages for each quiz slide, but adding the shared action is a breeze. You can easily transfer any shared action to any project, contrary to advanced actions. Have a look at:
