Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

[DarrenFMc]

Hi,

None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.

I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.

Is this possible?

If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?

I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?

cheers

Hi there

Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)

Cheers... Rick

I have requested this feature.

It would also tie into my feature request of being able to hyperlink a word of text in a sentence to go to a slide or a random slide from a Slide Group.

I think this would open up a whole new area of options for Educational/Corporate Courses etc....where answering quiz questions is not the requirement, but simply the challenge of progressing through a course.

Kid's don't like doing Tests/Quizzes, but give them challenges where they need to progress through levels and learn without relaising it, they will excel.

This, in my opinion is why the likes of the Mario games are so popular, as getting through the levels is the challenge. Ask them what their score is and they cannot tell you!

I was curious about this, as I listened to my kids one day asking their friends what level they were at on Mario Brothers Wii. They could all say what level they were on, and got animated about the challenges and difficult sections to get through.

I asked them what scores they had, they all shrugged their shoulders and went on again about the levels........

I never hold my breathe though.
