Hi – Here are two sample slides you can use if you want the user to respond to an open ended question, like, What do you hope to get out of this course?” And then to display what the user entered.

Here are the steps to create these 2 slides:

• Goal: Use text entry box for open ended questions, to then display to user on both same screen and also give user a way to go back and view that at any time, later. Steps:
• create slide w text entry box. Ea text entry box automatically generates a variable
  • On styles tab:
    • Keep retain text.
    • Change variable name
    • Click “More options” set max length.
  • On Actions tab:
    • Deselect submit button
    • “Show scrollbar” for auto wrapping.
    • For action on text entry, add “no action.”
    • Remove keyboard shortcut.
  • Add shape, “Use as button,” action=go to next slide.
  • Create a new slide, to display back to user what they typed in originally (or updated). Insert a shape. DOUBLE CLICK TO GET INSIDE IT. ONLY THEN…! on Style tab, click the X for insert variable. Choose the variable that I want it to show.
