Question

Negative Points on Click Box interaction.

Is there a way to assign negative points to a click box interaction?  I know that you can do it in Multiple Choice questions, etc, by entering a value in the "Penalty" field.  But on stand-alone click box interactions, there is no Penalty field.

What I am trying to do:  On a slide, a soft-skills video plays of two people having a conversation.  The user is to identify certain negative and positive behaviors that the people in the video are displaying, as it plays.  The user only gets points when they click a click box interaction at the correct time.  (Points are awarded.)  During "dead time" when the user shouldn't click, I want to deduct points if they click mistakenly or hap-haphazardly. I have a "dead time" click box displayed during those times, but don't know how to set it to negative points.

Looking into it, I'm guessing that I should just create a "Total Score" variable, and have my clicks add and subtract from the variable.  Are variables able to be tracked by a SCORM system?

The SCORM standard provides some latitude for storing of custom variable values, but they don't get treated as a score in the same way that quiz scores do.  And just because SCORM allows for storing of custom variables doesn't mean your particular LMS will support that feature.

Thanks, Rod.  Do you know if it's possible to add negative points to a click box?
