Quiz Results slide 'Review area' - I want to bypass built in text box and create my own?

[katiew3]

Thank you in advance for your help. 

I'm creating a course for my employer, short quiz is at the end of the course. 

I've noticed the 'review area' that states if they have passed or not, is really plain, boring and can't be overly customised. 

I was wondering if there was a way I can create two texts boxes and/or buttons that will show on the slide when they have either failed or passed. An advanced action? Java Script? 

At the moment I have a 'retake quiz' button that takes the user back to the begining of the quiz slides to retry. I tried using a similar advanced action to that but that hasn't worked. I'm not very good with the coding of it all, just want I've found works by researching. 

Ideally; when the user passes the quiz, the 'congrats you passed, please click continue' will pop up on the quiz results slide...and vise versa for the fail popup. 

I've attached a couple of photos of what it's running on at the moment, which obviously isn't working becasuse I've done it wrong. 

(I do have a slide after the quiz results slide).

You are definitely on the right track.  Here are a few suggestions:

• If you are not going to use the current Review Area box, make it as small as you can and move it down into one of the corners of the slide.  Don't remove it completely because that sometimes causes issues with functionality and reporting.
• If you make the Retake Quiz button on the Quiz Results slide large enough to cover the Continue button, this will prevent the student from continuing past the Quiz Results slide by accident and then having to relaunch the lesson just to make another attempt on the quiz.
• The way I prefer to show the Pass/Fail feedback on the Quiz Results slide is to have a single Smart Shape placed there just below the Retake Quiz button.  I have four states on that Shape.  One that is blank, one for Pass, one for Failed but still have more attempts allowed, and one for when the user has failed with no more attempts. 
• I use a Conditional Action to change to one of these states depending on the situation at the time the student reaches the Quiz Results slide.  In my case the Conditional Action is fairly complex because I am also tracking variables that count the number of attempts the user still has left.  But you can cut your teeth on Conditional Actions with a much simpler setup that just consists of maybe two states for the Smart Shape and swap between them according to the Pass Fail result.

Thank you so much RodWard for all you tips and advice! 

I implemented all those changes that you have suggested, I'm just a little stuck on the Advanced Action coding and what to write in there. It has to be in button form is that right? 

I've set this AA up so far, but when I test it, it won't show up unless I click on the button (even though it can't be seen as it's in the Normal (Default mode) which is just white), only then will it show the correct message. 

Is there something I'm missing ? 

Just an FYI:

The continue button will only work if the user passes the course.

Sorry, not sure if those previous photos uploaded so I re-uploaded them.

Sorry again.... 

I've just realised what my mistake was. I added the AA to the button, not to the slide. 

I've now removed it as a button, and used it as an action on enter of the slide. That works perfectly! 

Thank you again for your help, words don't express how happy I am to have finally got to where I needed to be 🙂

You are very welcome.
