Thanks Devin and Craig. I'm new to coding, have had a commercial license of LC since June 2012, and plopped down a couple of fist fulls during KS. Just the day job, which has absolutely nothing to do with coding, tends to get in the way ... 110 hours a week, 7 days at a time. I'm finally getting my butt in gear and learning LC.
I'll give both options a go. Right now though I have one question per card, radio buttons with the answers (multiple choice). On the final page I grade the quiz and have a review of the questions, correct answer and student answer. This is the area that I'd like scrollable, as to not have to go to another card. I could then print the results from that one page. Hope that's a little more clear.
