revealing test feedback on question page
August 18, 2006 12:00 AM
I do this all the time but instead of using a variable I have a hidden text box with the answer information. This makes it 1. easy to see during development (contents of variables are hard to read because you can only see the first few words)2. allows you to format the feedback with bold and colors.I also like to put highlight boxes around the correct answer in things like multiple choice. I use a plain text box with a 4px orange border. I place it over the correct answer(s) and make it not initially visible. When they click the button, it shows the box.If you are running 2006, you can group all kinds of stuff that help the learner see the answer such as explanation text (the usual text feedback), the highlight boxes I just mentioned, etc. Then your Get Answer button simply shows the group.
