Custom MRQ templates.
October 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Hello Everyone,
I was trying to build a custom MRQ(Multiple Response Question) template in Lectora.
The question has 4 options and 3 feedback texts(Correct, Incorrect and Partially correct).
I am finding it difficult to implement a logical condition for showing the partial feedback.
(Any combination of correct and incorrect option that is selected will lead to a partial feedback to pop-up)
I know the logic behind it is not that difficult, but I am not finding a way to reach it.
Can anyone help me with this difficulty??
Regards.

Wow, as simple as this sounds, creating this is not an easy task especially if one proficient with Lectora. Multiple Response Questions with custom feedback is chore to program.
Luckly with four choices (two correct and two incorrect) is manageable, anything more and it'll lead to a lot of mistakes. The first thing to thing about is how to display the feedback for the correct feedback, incorrect feedback and partially correct feedback as the 'standard feedback' from Lectora does not have a 'partially correct'. On top of that you'll need a custom "Submit Answer" button with special conditions, more on that later.
I created a quick sample just to see if the idea of this would work or not. Using a MRQ, I created a question for "What is bigger than a dog?". For the answers, I put in "a" for the first answer, "b" for the second, "c" for the third and "d" for the fourth (its just the letter, no quotes, just the letter). Next make all of these text boxes (answers) all to be "not visible". These will only serve as a way for us to setup the conditions for the Submit Answer button. Now create new text boxes with your actual answers and place them next to the selection boxes on the screen. I created "Elephant", "Ant", "Whale" and "Fly".
As for the feedback, I created three text boxes all set to be 'not visible', one for the correct, incorrect and partial with the messages you want to be displayed when a learner clicks on the Submit Answer button.
Heres the fun part, on the custom "Submit Answer" button, it'll need three actions to control the Correct, Incorrect and Partially Correct feedbacks to display it.
For my example, the Correct Action will be set to 'On Mouse Click' to 'Show' the 'Correct feedback text' with the Condition setup to be Variable (your question number, assigned by Lectora), Relationship 'Equal To' and Value of a,c.
For the Incorrect Action will be set to 'On Mouse Click' to 'Show' the 'Incorrect feedback text' with the Condition setup to be Variable (your question number, assigned by Lectora), Relationship 'Equal To' and Value of b,d. Then the next condition of Variable (your question number, assigned by Lectora), Relationship 'Equal To' and Value of b. Then the last condition of Variable(your question number, assigned by Lectora), Relationship 'Equal To' and Value of d. Also in the conditions, you'll need to select "Any condition can be true"
For the Partally Correct, similar to the process above but this action will have a least six conditions. I'm not going to type it all out so here it goes:
Equal To a,b
Equal To a,d
Equal To b,c
Equal To c,d
Equal To a
Equal To c
Again, for this condition, it needs to be set to "Any condition can be true".
Sorry, this is the first way that I came up with. There might be a better way of doing it. I guess I better get some coffee now :)
Once you start the process and kinda follow along, you'll get the point.
Cheers.

Hi,
Thank you Kelly for the help and the solution...Thanks a lot. Your efforts are surely appreciable.
Please do't take me wrong but I am not using the MRQ question template provided by Leactora.
I have to create the MRQ template all by myself. I have created the graphics for the checkboxs and the layout for the template. So here the problem is with the variables. We have to monitor the feedback through variables.
I would like you to assist me with this kind of template.

Oh okay. Send me a blank version of your template and I'll try to code it up for you this weekend.
