Personalize Quiz Feedback Style

Articulate Storyline 360 updates also include modern feedback style in assessments. You can choose to include modern feedback styles to your existing eLearning quizzes/assessments. It automatically applies to new projects, but for the existing courses, it uses the classic feedback style, which you can easily update to the modern style.

However, it’s a good way to edit text and design with the feedback master slides, instead of doing it for each question. Add a recognizable name for the feedback master so that it is easy to find while updating an existing course.

Personalize Publish
