Configuring a Multiple Choice interaction
In a Multiple Choice interaction, the user responds to a question with multiple answers; either
one answer or several answers can be correct.
To configure a Multiple Choice interaction:
If you are not using a quiz template, place the learning interaction on the Stage. If you are using
1.
a quiz template, select the frame on the Interactions layer that contains the Multiple Choice
interaction (Frame 6, if you have not added or removed keyframes).
Break the movie clip apart (Modify > Break Apart), display the Component Inspector, and then
2.
type the interaction ID and the question. See
on page 393.
Type the possible responses for the interaction (A–E).
3.
Note: You do not need to provide five responses. You can delete a response, but make sure to
replace it or move any following responses up to the previous text box, if necessary, so that there
are no blank text boxes between responses.
Select or deselect the Correct option to specify whether each response is considered correct or
4.
incorrect. You can have multiple correct answers.
Adding and removing multiple-choice distractors
You can include from one to eight distractors (choices) in a Multiple Choice learning interaction.
You can change the default number of six distractors by adding more distractors or deleting
existing distractors.
To add a multiple-choice distractor:
Select the frame with the Multiple Choice learning interaction in the Timeline.
1.
Open the Flash UI Components folder in the Library panel (Window > Library) and drag a
2.
CheckBox component to the Stage.
In the Property inspector, name the instance. See
3.
on page 409.
Add the instance name to the Component inspector for the multiple-choice distractor.
4.
The component does the rest of the work automatically at runtime.
To remove a multiple-choice distractor:
Select the CheckBox instance that you want to remove, and delete it from the Stage.
1.
Select the Multiple Choice component (to the left of the Stage in the quiz template), and
2.
then display the Component inspector (Window > Development Panels >
Component Inspector).
Remove the deleted object's instance name from the list in the Component Inspector.
