Capturing quiz results

I have created a multiple choice quiz that several hundred
students will be taking. Does Captivate 3 have the ability to
export the results of each quiz to a file on our network rather
than reporting this information to an LMS. Using the LMS reporting
functions and e-mail reporting functions are not an option at this
time, and I need a way to capture the results of the quiz along
with student information (name, employee ID, etc)
If exporting the quiz results is not an option is there a way
that I can include fillable text boxes on the results slide, that
students can fill in their name, employee ID, etc, and print the
page.

Take a look at

as it should provide the type of solution you are looking
for.

Capturing quiz data

I assume this can be done but I'm just looking for
confirmation and maybe documentation that you CAN capture quiz
results that will determine which questions specifically were
answered correctly or incorrectly by a the user either through the
one of the various LMS reports or email report. I'm also assuming
the same can be done in an assessment simulation.
Can someone please confirm this?
THANKS!!!

aha! thanks! that what I needed, just some confirmation.
Thanks dude.
I'll assume this can not be done through the email report.
I've tried for a while now to get that to work and nothing good has
come of it. Also from what i read on this forum the email report
option is pretty worthless - is that a true statement.
My conclusion is if you want decent reporting and the ability
to analyze those reports, use an LMS.
Thanks to all.

Capture Trainer in Quiz Results

We are using Presenter 6.1 and Office 2003. On our shop floor we have trainers that want to lead a trainee through a quiz and then in the Quiz results capture who the trainer was. We are capturing the trainee as that person logs into Connect to access their training and quiz. How do I capture the trainer in the quiz results and for further reporting.

Thanks for the response. I have both a pretest and posttest in this project. I have the pretest score variable set to appear in the results page so the learner can compare pretest and posttest scores. I would like the post test results to appear on the results page as well, but those are displaying as NaN.
These are my Advanced Interaction pages. Not sure what I need to change.
Pretest are slides 10-14.
This is the quiz properties for one of the pretest questions.
Posttest Slides are slides 34, 37, 40, 43, and 46. (I created feedback slides in between.)
This is quiz poperties for one of the posttest questions:
What do I need to do fix the NaN?

Can we remove the Continue button from Quiz Results?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page?
I have a captivate file in which there is a Thank you slide at the end after the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - The user is just finishing the quiz and closing the browser tab - which is not showing the completion status inside LMS. The user must need to view the Thank you slide - so that the LMS can respond as "Completed" status.
Now, I want to remove the Continue button on Quizzes result slide so that user doesnot need to go ahead to next slide to complete the course. And i will put the Thank You message here in Quizzes result slide only.
Can I remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page so that it can be the last slide?
Regards
Vikas Sharma

Removing the Continue button from the Quiz Results slide is NOT a good idea in my experience. Clicking the Continue button triggers functions in Captivate to terminate the quiz and commit the score to the LMS. If this button is not clicked, Captivate may not be sure the person has decided they're done with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that point. There are often other buttons on the Quiz Results slide to offer the user the option of Retaking or Reviewing the Quiz. Only the Continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz Result slide.
Like yourself, I have also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the Continue button and don't realise they need to do something extra (beyond reaching the Quiz Results slide) in order for their score to be captured. So what I usually do is rename the Continue button to something more meaningful such as: Register Your Score, or Record Quiz Results Now. Having a name like this (and making the button nice and large and bold so that it's not easy to miss) clearly tells people that they need to click this button if they want their score to be retained. It's just a simple change, but it practically eliminated all issues we had with people just closing down their browser when they saw the Quiz Results.

How can I delete Quiz results???

I don't know and that's what I am trying to figure out. It seems that once the results are captured by Quiz Results Analyzer, it's not easy to remove them. Sounds like they are in some database somewhere. I can UNINSTALL the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer, remove the the XML results files, and remove the Captivate Results Directory. Re-install Captivate Quiz Results analyzer and the Quiz results come right up without doing anything else. It has to be stored on the server somewhere.
Please someone must know the answer to this puzzle.

Bonjour,
Just in case if you need it in the future. The results are store from your server to your computer. Even if you delete them at your server, they are still on your local disk. Il you want to delete results, you could find them at :
C→ user→AppData→ Roaming→QuizResultsAnalyzer→ Local Store→ CaptivateResults-your server→ your organization→your department→ your course
Then delete what you want in this file

Tracking quiz results in SAP

Has anyone had success in tracking quiz progress/results in
the SAP Learning Solution? We are implementing that LMS now, but
once I import a Captivate course, SAP does not seem to
capture/track the quiz results when the user goes through the
course.

dwrobertson,
There are at least two issues you should know about
integration with SAP:
- Captivate requires a change to a variable in the HTM file
after you
publish (though you could make the same change to the
SCORM.htm template
file so you make the change once and everytime you publish it
uses the
updated template).
-SAP doesn't use the score from Captivate. Scoring in SAP is
based on the
completion of all of the SCO's in a course. Since Captivate
creates a
course with a single SCO, when a learner completes your SCO
(your Captivate
file) they probably see a score of 100.
The change to the HTM file needs to be to the variable
"g_intAPIOrder".
Change it from a 0 to a 1.
More specific information can be found here (though there
isn't any
reference to SAP):

Let me know if this works/helps.

Can I reconfigure Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer (ACQRA) ?

Hello,
I working on capturing all the Quiz results onto a MySQL Database using WAMP. No problem getting the data into the Database using the internalserverreporting.php after some modifications.
Still having some trouble reverse engineering the interserverread.php. While experimenting with some modifications, I received some help on how to clear the application of past Quiz data so that I can see what happens with my changes. Now I realized that the Application is programmed to expect XML files and store the results in a special location.
QUESTION 1:
Can I reconfigure the Application to stop looking for XML files and configure it to point to my database?
QUESTION 2:
Can I get my hands on the code that was used to create ACQRA for my standalone application?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have 26 different projects ?
Which version of Captivate are you using ?
Do you have MAC or Windows ?
Any Error message while generating results for those 5 courses ?
Thanks,
Vikram

Hi hpelican,
I'm not aware of any issues on Acrobat.com that would prevent you from saving your Captivate quiz results. But, I found this thread on the Captivate forum. Please give that a try and let me know how it goes.

Monitoring quiz results

Hey everyone,
Complete novice to Captivate, just downloaded the trial today as my work are looking at branching into e-learning. So far I have found it quite easy to grasp and I can see a lot of possibilities with it for us.
My questions is though, is Captivate capable of monitoring the quiz results once it has gone live? Can I monitor individuals performances via unique log-in code or will I be able to see an overall statistic on quiz performance?
Or is Captivate used for creating and another platform is required for monitoring these results?
Thanks for your help and excuse my lack of knowledge as I am purely from a video background.

You are correct that Captivate is just an authoring tool, not an LMS. And some LMS do include limited authoring abilities. But that usually means the authored content is bolted into that LMS and cannot be taken out or used elsewhere.
The authoring abilities of most LMSs consist of offering links to view PPTs, PDFs, or documents, with the added facility of building some simple quiz questions. They cannot compare with the kind of interactive content Captivate can create, and neither can they do advanced screen capture like Captivate.
So Captivate specialises in the authoring side of courses, and LMSs are really specialised in the delivery and tracking of the content. Most people in the corporate or academic world find they end up needing both.

Send quiz results for users without Internet access

We have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. I have created an eLearning course in C4 with a quiz at the end. For most users, they take the course through our LMS and we can report results without a problem. However, we have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. Is there a way to capture name and quiz results and send them via email? Alternatively, we can open up a port to access Connect, but I still need to report name and quiz results.
Thank you,
FG

Hello,
Are those users connected in a network? If yes, with the version of Captivate 5 (will be available shortly) it will be possible to have the results send and stored on a server.

How do I only get certain questions appear in the quiz results?

I have created a course through Captivate 6, throughout the course there are questions to guage the learners attention. There is also a quiz at the end. However, captivate includes on the questions throughout the course on the quiz results which I do not want to happen.
Can anyone advise how I can only get certain questions appear on the quiz results please?

Branch aware turns off the playbar in 6 (not in 7 any more, at least not for me).
Could you explain more in detail what you want, because I don't understand it. You want the user to answer all questions, but the score should only show what? If you don't want some questions to have a score added to the Quiz total, you can indicate that in the Properties of that Question slide.
And please, tell the exact number (3 versions of 6), and also if you have to report to a LMS?

How to send quiz results to a web page?

Okay, this should have taken 2 minutes, not 2 hours. Very frustrating. Here is the situation:
* Downloaded Captivate 5 Trial Version
* Created based quiz (which took forever to figure out how to set the correct answers -- HORRIBLE user interface for setup, but that is another issue)
* I want the results sent to a web page. I will code the web page & database calls, etc. to handle the information (I am a web developer). Just need the information sent somewhere!
Several big issues here:
1. When setting up a URL for the "Pass or Fail", nothing happens. User not taken anywhere. No "Post Results" button shown. The Captivate file just ends and that's it. ??
2. Finally figured out that I needed the "Internal Server" option chosen to have a Post Results button shown. Okay.
So when I click Post Results (after answering the 5 questions correctly), I am shown a login box. Why? What is this for? This is not needed. I am going to an INTERNAL SERVER. It is none of Adobe's business what this person's name/email is. What gives? Okay... anyways, I enter my own Adobe login information. It then says "Connecting..." then I get a Status Message that says "Unknown Error". Keep in mind this will be used by a general audience, of which approximately 99.9% will not have an Adobe ID, nor should they need one.
How I can easily have the Captivate file redirect the user to pages like this: Confirm.aspx?pass=yes or Confirm.aspx?pass=no.
I don't need anything fancy. But I do need something that works. This is terribly frustrating and I'm about to say it just doesn't work. Please tell me I am wrong.
Thank for your time and for reading this.

The Quiz Results slide's Continue button actions are set under Quiz Preferences > Pass or Fail > If Passing Grade etc. By default, the Continue button is set to just continue on to the next slide after the Quiz Results.
After the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide any Pass/Fail actions you've set up there will be evaluated and executed.
So if the user achieved a passing score, and you set up an action such as Go to URL in Current Window for that case, then the user should find themselves redirected to that URL. If there was a different action for Failure, and the user failed, then that should happen. But either of these will only happen after the Continue button is clicked.
I tested this by setting www.google.com as the go to URL and it worked. To see if the URL is the issue, try using another URL that you know everyone can get to. If that works, try to find out why the URL you want to use is not working. If no URL works, something else is interfering with the action.

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

Can I show quiz results in the recording of software simulation?

Hello, Everybody, I'm using Adobe Captivate 7. I want to show quiz results after recording the software simulation. If the recording type is training, the user need to click for the instructions. When the user's click is wrong, the captivate will show the failure message and I want to reduce my score due to the wrong click. Please give me a instructions. Thanks!!!

Please do not double post issues.

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.
