Multiple choice question with unique feedback for each answer
Hey Ruth - thanks for leaving your feedback.
I've been working a lot with various Question types lately so your comment got me pondering... I investigated and discovered that the "By choice" option is available for the following default quiz types: multiple choice, word bank and hot spot questions.
I think the difficulty that arises with providing the "by choice" feedback option for Multiple Response is the amount of choices you could potentially have for one question. For example, if you have 6 potential responses (A through F) in your Multiple Response, that could give you literally hundreds (if not thousands) of response combinations (A+B, A+C, A+D, A+E, A+F, A+B+C, A+B+C+D+E+F, etc, etc.). So I think it would be difficult to set up a simple form-based interface for this amount of choices, and also would be unrealistic to type out that many potential feedback slides.
But I do hear what you're saying about letting users distinguish between an incorrect and partially correct answer. A solution to this might be that, when they click submit, they see the feedback layer, but it's positioned in such a way that you can still see all the responses, along with their selection, with a checkmark or x next to each response, indicating to them if it is a correct or incorrect choice. This way they can see their selections, against what's right and wrong, so they can see if they got it partially correct.
Hope this makes sense!
