1. Introduction.
When you create a quiz in Cool Tabs, you can configure a feedback message after answering. The goal is to let participants know whether their answer is correct or not and, optionally, include a text explaining the right answer.
This feature is especially useful in point-based quizzes, but it is also available in quizzes that do not assign points for correct answers.
Below, we explain how to set it up and the types of messages you can display.
2. Step by step.
2.1. How to configure the feedback feature.
In the 'Quiz' section > 'Advanced' tab, check the box 'Feedback message after answering'. This lets you indicate whether the participant answered correctly, as well as display a message. The correct answer is marked in green and incorrect answers in red.
Depending on the type of quiz (point-based or without points), you can configure different types of feedback, including text and images.
When you enable feedback, a new tab will appear in the Question section to customize the feedback for each question.
2.2. Feedback in a point-based quiz.
When you select 'Quiz with points for right answers' and 'Feedback message after answering', the following options will appear in the 'Feedback' tab of each question:
Full-screen feedback message.
Correct answer if the text matches (for text-based answers, where the participant types their response).
Image to be displayed as soon as the user answers the question.
Text to be displayed if the answer is right or wrong.
As soon as the user selects an answer, you can instantly tell them whether they chose correctly and even explain why.
2.3. Types of feedback in a point-based quiz.
2.3.1. Feedback for right/wrong answer.
If you only want to highlight the correct answer in green (and incorrect ones in red) without showing any additional message, simply check 'Feedback message after answering' and assign points to the correct answer. No text is required.
In the following image you can see an example of how it would look.
2.3.2. Message when the answer is right or wrong.
If you want to show a different message depending on whether the participant is right or wrong, fill in the fields 'Text to be displayed if the participant is right' and 'Text to be displayed if the participant fails'. Remember to assign points to the correct answers. You can fill in just one of the two fields if you prefer.
In the following image you can see an example of how it would look.
2.3.3. Full-screen feedback.
You can configure the feedback to display as a full-screen message. Check 'Enable full-screen feedback' and, optionally, choose an entry and exit animation.
In the following image you can see an example of how it would look.
2.3.4. Show an image when the user answers.
You can include an image that is automatically displayed when the participant answers, regardless of the right/wrong text messages.
In the following image you can see an example of how it would look.
2.3.5. Correct answer if the text matches.
For text-based questions (where the participant types their answer), enable 'Correct answer if the text matches' in the 'Feedback' tab. The comparison is not case-sensitive, but it does require an exact word match.
For example, if "London" is the correct answer, "london", "London." or "London!!" will be accepted; but "London city", "London or Liverpool" or "I think it's London" will not.
In "Free text" questions (e.g. What is the capital of England?) the administrator can add hidden accepted answers with assigned points or categories. If the participant types one of those answers exactly, they earn those points.
2.4. Feedback in a quiz without points or categories.
In the 'Quiz' section, check 'I do not want to assign points or categories to the answers' and, in the 'Advanced' tab, enable 'Feedback message after answering'.
In quizzes without points the feedback options are more limited:
Message when the question is answered: can include text, image and/or GIF.
Full-screen feedback message with animation effects.
Image to be displayed as soon as the user answers the question.
2.5. Feedback in a personality quiz.
In the 'Quiz' section, check 'I want to create a personality quiz' and, in the 'Feedback' tab, enable 'Feedback message after answering'.
As with quizzes without points, feedback in personality quizzes is limited to a more generic message when the participant selects an answer. You can also display it full-screen and add animations.
