Good, better, best revisted

As mentioned last week, I’m re-visiting the good, better, and best interaction.  (To provide a short re-cap, that interaction prompted the user to select from three option and offered coaching on the good, better, or best solution.)

You may want to consider “scoring” any interaction.  Not only is it great to judge your learner’s progress, it can work as a great motivator for the learners.  While Articulate has built in templates that can easily create quizzing, this can also be easily achieved with a variable.  (In addition to creating a numeric variable this example also requires the answer buttons to have “states”.)

Now, it would be ideal that the learner select the best answer first, and that’s exactly what the scoring variable in this example will demonstrate.  Simply create a number variable, and then add to that number when the users selects the best answer if the good and better answers are still in their normal states.
