Drag and drop scoring

Is there a way to create a variable, or is there a system variable available, that allows for points to be assigned to drag and drop items?  So, for example, each correctly dropped item is worth one point and as the learner makes the series of correct drops the score on the screen keeps increasing?

You cannot manipulate the Captivate quizzing system variables with Advanced Actions and you cannot assign a user variable as a score.
This type of scoring flexibility is not available with the native drag and drop functionality available in Captivate as the entire interaction is scored either correct or incorrect, not according to each separate drag item.
However, if you have the Infosemantics Interactive Drag and Drop widget, you can have multiple widgets on the same slide, each scoring a different drag item / target item match.  In this way you can likely achieve the result you describe above because the more items the user gets matched correctly, the higher their score.

  • Cap7 Drag and drop Scoring

    I have a D'nD interaction with 10 correct answers. In order to give 1 point for each correct answer do I need to create advanced actions or can I simply assign the entire interaction a value of 10 points?

    Thanks for the compliment about our widgets, but I do feel it necessary to disagree with you on one small point.
    There is a big difference between "software that does not function correctly" and something you personally consider to be a MUST-have feature that didn't get built into the software because other things were deemed more important by the software vendor, or the feature was undesirable for other reasons.
    You would like to be able to have a variable value added to the quiz score.  We understand your desire and that's one reason we built this capability into the Infosemantics Master Widget.  But there is a downside to this, which is probably why Adobe hasn't followed our lead.  If it were easy to just assign the value of a variable to be added to the quiz, then it would be highly likely many Cp users would end up doing something that would breaking Cp quizzing.  This is one reason why most System Variables are READ ONLY.  If you could manipulate some of them to have different values, you could break Cp.
    The other reason is that some LMSs will not accept scores outside of 0-100 from a quiz. If they get an "out of range" score, they'll either reject it or crash. I know this because occasionally we've received such reports from users of the Master Widget who happen to be using these rather sensitive LMSs (can't remember which ones).
    So keeping Cp quizzing protected by not allowing developers TOO much freedom with quiz variables is probably a wise move on Adobe's part.  Certainly not sinful.

  • Drag and Drop Interaction Scoring

    Hi-
    I've created a drag and drop interaction for a quiz with four
    objects. Each object has to match up to the correct spot in order
    for the user to get the answer correct. I've done this type of
    interactions before successfully and not had a problem with
    scoring.
    But this time .. the only thing I can see that's different
    about this quiz is that I'm not assigning any points in the "Score"
    field - I am instead using the Status of Correct Response alone.
    I've found that this interaction scoring works perfectly for my
    other quiz interactions but there seems to be a problem with the
    drag and drop - when the user moves the objects around and
    temporarily places an object in the wrong (or maybe even correct)
    spot, each of these movements is being racked up as correct in this
    interaction So, if there's an ambivalent user they're going to get
    many more points than is even supposed to be possible.
    I can't see anything different that I've done with this
    interaction other than the scoring. I changed to correct response
    scoring because it was the only way I could figure out how to reset
    the quiz score after the user leaves and comes back. (using
    TotalCorrect)
    Anyway, I'm open to ideas - even if it's not the scoring -
    any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks -
    Cammia

    Don't use the quiz knowledge objects and code yourself...?
    You'll find many on here who can help you with hand coding
    and probably none
    who know much about implementing those KO's who can answer
    questions. The
    reason is if you know enough to be able to answer questions,
    you know enough
    to know that these KO's are a short term crutch that cause
    long term
    problems.

  • Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

    Hello,
    I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities.  Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
    My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format.  Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
    To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction.  I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
    Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
    Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
    It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
    Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
    Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
    Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
    Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
    Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
    I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
    I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request -  save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
    Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
    Paul

    Hello,
    I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
    I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
    I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
    Thanks again for any help related to this issue.  If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks! 
    Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

  • Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

    It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5.  This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
    If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do.  It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more.  Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
    Some of the features:
    You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
    You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
    Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions.  This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
    You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects.  This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
    You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
    You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences.  For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
    You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
    Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler)  So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
    Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
    If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have.  The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
    As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
    Anyone wanna play?
    If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions.  We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
    Cheers,
    Rod Ward

  • Captivate 2 right-click and drag and drop in simulation

    Captivate has been suggested as a suitable replacement for
    Authorware since the announcement that Adobe doesn't plan to
    continue with Authorware. I find myself in the position to put this
    to the test. I'm in the process of recreating a course that had
    been created in Authorware in a toolset comprised of Artuculate
    Presenter, Articulate Quizmaker, Articulate Engage, Captivate, and
    PowerPoint.
    The simulation created in Authorware has these feautures:
    -learner right clicks on items on screen to see a context
    menu then selects option from the context menu
    -learner drags toolbar and other items on screen to another
    screen location
    -learner selects item from Windows Start>>Program and
    other application menus. As the learner's mouse moves over the
    menu, menu options highlight and flyout menus appear even if
    they're not directly involved in the simulation
    -learner logs into course with an employee ID number. This
    information is stored and is used in the simulation in which they
    log into the system being simulated.
    Can I do any of these things in Captivate?
    I suspect I can simulate the flyout menus with a number of
    mouse over hotspots - exactly the way it's done in Authorware.
    However, I haven't found any way to do simulate the other items:
    -use of drag and drop where the learner performs the action
    -use of a variable value to check validity of what has been
    entered in the text field
    -use of right click to advance Captivate simulation.
    I'd appreciate any help you can give me. After all, I've
    heard many people claim that Captivate can replace Authorware.
    Thanks
    Grace Daminato

    Hi Grace,
    Captivate is indeed a replacement for Authorware, but only in
    the way that an Audi is a replacement for a Ferrari. They do the
    same basic job, but you need to do some after market modifications
    to the Audi to level the playing field somewhat.
    1) Flyout menus are indeed possible, if you're willing to
    create "rollovers" that display a picture of the expanded menu when
    the user mouses over. You are limited to exposing only first-level
    menus, however. Captivate does not allow for rollovers on
    rollovers, except possibly via Captivate 3's Slidelet
    functionality.
    ***EDIT***: You can also use Paul Dewhurst's rollover widgets
    to fake multi-level menu behavior. They are available from Paul's
    site here:
    http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=29
    2) Drag-and-drop in Captivate is currently only available as
    an add-in Flash object, each of which must unfortunately be built
    by hand in Flash. Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst offers
    source files for such interactions on his website:
    http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=29
    3) Captivate has built-in checking of field values, but you
    are limited to hardcoded values only. If you need variable-based
    input checking, you must create it yourself in Flash and insert it
    as an animation.
    4) Right-click is possible in Captivate, but must be added
    manually. Captivate community contributor William Heinz has created
    a nifty right-click solution for HTML/SWF publication and Paul
    Dewhurst again comes to the rescue with a solution for .EXE-based
    output:
    HTML/SWF-based Output:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
    EXE-based Output:
    http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29
    Unfortunately, making these modifications to Captivate files
    comes at a cost. First, there's the overhead of tracking down and
    implementing the custom enhancements. More importantly, Captivate
    has no way of "scoring" custom enhancements, so any such
    interactions will not be reflected in the user's reported results.
    If you're willing to live with these limitations, and a few
    others, Captivate can indeed be a suitable replacement for
    Authorware.

  • I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

    I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

    When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

    Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
    This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
    If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
    Thankyou
    Andrew.

    Andrew,
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
    If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

  • Why does not drag and drop work?!

    Hello,
    I am trying to implent a drag and drop from a table to an icon representing a trash.
    The drop handler fails in converting the selected rows to a list:
    com.sun.el.MethodExpressionImpl@87d9c00d javax.el.ELException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
    Could you help me to understand why? Below are the details.

    thanks.

    I did try, I obtained this:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Why NullPointerException?
    I don't know if this helps, but consider that the collection model comes from a ViewObject built on three EOs with many fields, although the table only shows one column.
    This is the Iterator in my pageDef:
    <table IterBinding="MyView1Iterator" id="MyView1">
    <AttrNames>

    <Item Value="Cod2"/>
    <Item Value="Cod3"/>
    <Item Value="Cod4"/>
    <Item Value="Description"/>
    <Item Value="Cod5"/>
    </AttrNames>
    </table>
    Any idea?
    I will see the Key content with the debugger.

    That shouldn't be related to Time Machine (especially if the backups aren't mounted).
    What happens when you try those things?  Do you get any messages?  Anything you can post a screenshot of?
    Have you tried a Restart?
    Does it happen in another user account?  (If you don't have one, create one via System Prefs > Users & Groups.)

  • Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

    I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
    I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
    Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
    Thank you,
    Jamie

    >Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
    As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
    Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
    I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
    This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

  • Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

    widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
    currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
    Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
    ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
    ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
    TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
    ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
    Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
    widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
    finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
    with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
    and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
    TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
    now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
    for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
    is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
    another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
    current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
    heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
    Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
    If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
    look at it more closely.
    Thanks in advance.

    here is the required code....
    private static class TreeDragGestureListener implements DragGestureListener {
         public void dragGestureRecognized(DragGestureEvent dragGestureEvent) {
         // Can only drag leafs
         JTree tree = (JTree) dragGestureEvent.getComponent();
         TreePath path = tree.getSelectionPath();
         if (path == null) {
              // Nothing selected, nothing to drag
              System.out.println("Nothing selected - beep");
              tree.getToolkit().beep();
         } else {
              DefaultMutableTreeNode selection = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) path
                   .getLastPathComponent();
              if (selection.isLeaf()) {
              TransferableTreeNode node = new TransferableTreeNode(
                   selection);
              dragGestureEvent.startDrag(DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop,
                   node, new MyDragSourceListener());
              } else {
              System.out.println("Not a leaf - beep");
              tree.getToolkit().beep();
    }

  • An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  My OS is Windows 7.

    I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop.  The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places.  I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer.  Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works.  I've tried both ways over and over.  Cannot figure out what the problem is.  I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all.  Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong?  My OS is Windows 7, using IE9.  Thanks.
    ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE:  I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes.  The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help.
