Activity is an excellent option when speed and accuracy of information is an objective.
The base template. Simply modify a couple options and images and you've got an entirely new game (as seen in the demo and other images).
Changing options like the number of selections (buttons), questions, and scoring is quick, simple and centralized.
Fully-customizable text and feedback. Stylesheets scale with content and retail their edges, shadows and corners.
Looping multiple choice
BackgroundSeveral years ago, I received a request to create an activity with some interesting challenges: create an activity that contains a series of questions. If learners miss a question, return it to the question pool to be asked again. Ensure all questions are correctly answered before they can move forward.
Because there wasn't a way of creating a looping question activity "out of the box," I thought there was great potential for re-use. This was one of the first series where I created my dynamic, reusable approach to programming in Lectora. To the original requirements, I added the ability to select the number of questions, the number of selections (responses), as well as timer, scoring, and pass/fail options. Ultimately the series of templates includes "select one response" (shown), fill-in-the-blank and "select all that apply" options. This project shows how templates can be re-themed or re-branded to fit specific needs, objectives, or to simply look "new and different."
Features
- Easy: No programming needed!! Even the newest Lectora users can follow instructions and create an activity.
- Reusable and extensible: “Templated” approach enables developer to modify several options:
- Supports 2-12 questions
- Supports 2-10 response selections
- Control over the number of questions a learner can miss
- Control over how much time a learner has to complete (pass) the activity
- Ability to “re-theme” to support different “games.”
- Demo as shown shows how the activity can be used with two responses selected.
- Judges successful completion based on time and accuracy.
- Missed questions go back into a “loop pool,” allowing additional opportunities to answer correctly (or incorrectly) adding to the challenge and practice.
- End score is based on time and accuracy, enticing the player to try again to get a better score.
- Supports multiple outcomes:
- Pass
- Answer all questions correctly within the provided amount of time.
- Fail
- Run out of time before answering all questions correctly.
- Answer too many questions incorrectly.
- Captures the page, once completed, so the Next button is displayed in case the learner re-enters the page at a later time
