The default feedback layers can be Correct Feedback, Incorrect Feedback, Try Again Feedback, Incomplete Feedback, and Timeout Feedback (for the Graded mode) or Complete Feedback, Incomplete Feedback, and Timeout Feedback (for the Survey mode). Note that you can delete, change, or add more if necessary.
6. Set Events – Actions
ActivePresenter offers default events and actions for True/False questions. Generally, a True or False quiz has four default events for the Graded mode (On Correct, On Incorrect, On Incomplete, and On Timeout) and three for the Survey mode (On Complete, On Incomplete, and On Timeout).
If you select the Graded mode, here is what you see in the Properties pane:
You can remove, change, or make events and actions for True/False questions more advanced as you desire. To do that, first, select the answer area. Then, access the Properties pane > Interactivity tab > Events – Actions.
Create a True or False Quiz
After creating a True or False Question, you can make use of it to create other questions to build a quiz. To reuse a True or False question, you right-click the answer area and select Set as Default True/False Question. By doing this, whenever you add a new True or False question to the current project, the question you’ve saved as default will show up. You are then free to make any changes you like to the questions.
