If you use LearningStone, you probably rely on the built in forms generator for everything from intakes and evaluations to quizzes and logbooks. We have just launched a powerful update that makes these forms much smarter.
Read on to see how we’ve improved progress saving and introduced a new "Learning & Testing" mode.

1. Storing Progress: Never Lose Work Again

We have completely re-developed the forms architecture under the hood. While the tech is fancy, the result for you is simple: a new "Save progress for later continuation" option.

When enabled, respondents filling out long surveys—or those who get distracted—won’t lose their answers. Saving happens automatically with each page, and users can also click "Save and stop" at any time to finish later. You can find this toggle in your form settings under Filling in.

2. Learning and Testing Combined

Usually, quizzes wait until the end to provide feedback. The downside? It’s hard for users to process all that feedback at once.

For maximum learning impact, you often want to give feedback immediately after each question. However, this usually allows users to go back and fix their answers, ruining the "test" aspect.

The solution: Our new update allows you to give immediate feedback while preventing backtracking. This lets you teach and test simultaneously without compromising the results.

How can I let respondents learn and test them at the same time

The "Progressive Feedback" Method

The goal is to enable the participant to learn without compromising the integrity of the assessment (testing).

1. Structure the Quiz

  • Create pages: Place each question (or a small group of related questions) on its own page.
  • Enable Quiz Mode: Use multiple-choice questions with the " Quiz or test question” option toggled on.
  • Provide Feedback: Fill in the feedback for both correct and incorrect answers. This ensures the respondent understands the why before moving on.

2.Lock the Progress

To ensure the respondent is "tested," you must prevent them from retroactively changing answers after seeing the feedback.

  • Disable Backtracking: Select "No Back button" (at the bottom of the page).
  • The Result: Once the respondent clicks "Next," their answer is committed, the feedback is displayed, and the path behind them is closed.

Note: don’t confuse this with the option “Instant feedback, (learning mode)”. This lets the respondent change answers, which can be useful for exploration, but not for testing.
