revealing test feedback on question page

This is a little long but I've found it very helpful for showing per question feedback (right or wrong) for each questions. This has to be set up on each question page, but once you get the first set of buttons, actions and text boxes built you can copy and paste between pages. This works based on the question variable for each question. This technique requires the following:Submit buttonHide Instructions (Action)Show Next Button (Action)Show Correct Text (Action)Show Incorrect Text (Action)The Submit button may be created using the Button Wizard within Lectora. Required Text Fields:Instructions: this text instructs the user to select the correct answer(s) and click on the “Submit” button to continueCorrect this is the text that indicates the users answer is correctIncorrect: this is the text that indicates the users answer is incorrect. the Next button is hidden on each page. helps to ensure that the user responds to all questions. The test question is created in the normal manner, with the exception that the per-question feedback mechanism will not be used. Once the test question is created the feedback will be inserted in the following manner.Create the Correct and Incorrect Text Entries. Be sure to name the Text boxes accordingly. In the properties section of each of these text boxes ensure that the initially visible is not checked. This will cause these text boxes to be hidden until they are activated by the appropriate action. Create an “Instructions” text box to tell the students to click on the Submit button once they have answered the question. Example: “Select all the answers that apply, and then click the "Submit" button.” • Be sure to name the instructions text box. Create the Submit button utilizing the button wizard. Set the “On Click” options to:• Action: Hide• Target: Submit (button) Underneath the Submit button create the following actions, which will take place sequentially once the Submit button is clicked.Hide Instructions:• Action Name: Hide Instructions• On: Mouse Click• Action: Hide• Target: Instructions (Text box)Show Next (button)• Action Name: Show Next (button)• On: Mouse Click• Action: Show• Target: Next ButtonThe next two actions will be used to display either the Correct Text feedback or the Incorrect Text Remediation text boxes. Both of these actions utilize a Relationship statement comparing the test variable to the test response. Show Correct:Action Name: Show CorrectOn: Mouse ClickAction: ShowTarget: Correct (Text box)Condition:Perform Action ONLY if the following is TRUE – CheckedVariable – Set to the question variable that is displayed when the question is createdRelationship – Is Correct Value – This field will be blanked out. The Is Correct relationship will verify the value of the variable against the test question. Show IncorrectAction Name: Show CorrectOn: Mouse ClickAction: ShowTarget: Correct (Text box)Condition:Perform Action ONLY if the following is TRUE – CheckedVariable – Set to the question variable that is displayed when the question is createdRelationship – Is Not Correct Value – This field will be blanked out. The Is Correct relationship will verify the value of the variable against the test question. The instructions that I wrote for our group has images showing how this works, if you want to see more send me an e-mail.Thanks,Shawn
