Interactivity > Decision Tree > New Multiple Choice Question
This is one of 4 types of step that can be used for a Decision Tree activity. Two of these require the learner to interact, and their response determines the page they are taken to; one step summarises the decisions that a learner has taken along a pathway; one step presents new information.
The Multiple Choice Question presents a question, and depending on response learners are taken to different pages.
Example demo

| Stored Result Text | Stores text associated with this answer for use in the results.

Unlike progress text which can be added to from any type of step and question option, stored result text is only added to when questions are answered (so from MCQ/slider options) |
