Two fill-in-the-blank answers from same list.

I have a quiz question that is fill in the blank, two separate blanks.  The list of answers is exactly the same.  How do I insure that the learner does not use the same answer for both blank.  Example:  List two drinks that taste good to drink: 1. _________  2. __________   and the list is "coke, pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite".  How do I make sure the learner does not list coke twice?
I have Captivate 6......thanks 

I do not think this will be possible with the default FIB slide. I would create a custom question slide, using either TEB's or TextArea widget for the 'blanks'. Then you'll be able to check the content of each of the variables that are associated with them, using an advanced conditional action.

  • How can I remove the by-default text in the drop-down box in a fill-in-the-blank answer?

    I have this text in English "Select" for each drop-down list that is big enough:
    It appears in French at my project manager's place (in France).
    Question 1: Can we remove that text totally?
    Question 2: How can I make sure it will only appear in English?
    Many thanks

  • Issue with fill in the blank field and back button.

    I am working in CP4 AS2.  I have create a page of fill in the blank fields to simulate filling in a form.  On the next slide, I show the answers by extracting the variables into text boxes.  I have a back and a next button and instruct the user to review their answers and if incorrect, to select the back button in order to reenter the data.  I have the back button set to jump to the previous slide by number (i've tried previous, last slide, etc...)
    The flash movie freezes when I select the back button.  I think flash is having trouble going back to the fill in the blank fields from the displayed variables.  Any ideas? or work arounds for this.  The idea solution would take them back to the page with the data already in the fields so they could correct the errors only and then return to the review page.
    Thanks
    Scott

    Hi there
    Is scoring enabled on these? If so, perhaps your quiz settings are preventing backward movement.

  • Using variables for answers to fill-in-the-blank questions

    Hello,
    For fill-in-the-blank questions, one has to provide answers. I want to provide these in the form of (user-created) variables, rather than in the form of fixed strings of characters (so then, as $$var1$$ rather than as 'rabbit'). I haven't been able to get this to work. The enter variable function is indeed available (in the properties panel), but it doesn't actually work (i.e. even if you select a variable to be entered, it doesn't actually get entered).
    Is there a way around the problem?
    1. NB that this same issue holds for text entry boxes (rather than fill-in-the-blank questions). If I could get this to work for text entry boxes, I would use them rather than fill-in-the-blank questions.
    2. One can use variables for answers to multiple choice questions. So I'm hoping I can get it to work for fill-in-the-blank questions as well.
    Thank you in advance. Marvin DuBois

    That would have been my suggestion. I don't have a dedicated blog post, but use TEB's for that kind of questions myself as well. And contrary to the widget/interaction I mentioned before, a TEB is an interactive object, which means it can be validated and there can be a score attached to it. But, it will not help you, since you have to add the correct answers in the same way as for a dropdown list in the FIB question (they are sort of TEB's there). And it is that list that doesn't allow to enter a variable instead of a fixed sequence of characters.
    Which means that you are back to the advanced actions, same as in my blog posts with the widget/interaction.
    Have a workaround (after all I am the workaround Queen) to have reporting, if you need to check only one TEB, described here:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/report-custom-questions-part-2
    The idea is to use another interactive object that can have a score. In reality I use two instances of that same object: one with score 0 and one with score X and show the right one depending on the conditional action.
    However if you want to have multiple TEB's on the same slide, that have to be checked all with the same advanced action, than you'll need either the Mastery widget by InfoSemantics (only for SWF output) or Javascript.

  • Cannot 'Unmark Blank' for FIB Questions after Upgrade from CP4 to CP5 (Fill in the Blank)

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm having trouble editing a fill in the blank question that was upgraded from CP4 to CP5.
    The problems is I cannot see where the blank is.  Not the blank in my sentence, I have that, but the entry box. When running the course the blanks are at the TOP LEFT corner fo the slide.
    but when creating the course I can't see where the blanks are, to move them.....
    So to Troubleshoot, I thought I'd re-construct the answers, I clicked the sentence, and clicked unmark ... but it does not unmark....
    <EDIT> Okay I got it to unmark, sorta, but not really. Now I have three answer boxes on the test in run mode, but cant see ANY in CP5 when building it. </EDIT>
    Hmmmmm
    Anyone got ideas?
    (re-constructing the question on a new slide is not desired, I have hundres of questions, considering my 30 courses.
    Thank you!
    Greg

    Hello,
    Sorry, but I do not understand your question quite well, it is an editing issue when upgrading. Perhaps it would help if you posted some screenshots?
    And to be sure: did you install the patch for CP5 released in December?

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

  • Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

    Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

    Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
    0.28
    0.29
    0.30
    0.31
    0.32
    And I might even go farther and list these too.
    .28
    .29
    .30
    .31
    .32
    But that's just me.

  • Fill in the Blank Options

    When editing a fill in the blank there is a pull down in the top left of the correct answers box when it is setup as a user enters the correct answer. When I change the selection and close  the box the pull down slections update for a reason I don't understand either. Lastly, when I have two blanks in the same question, the pull down will show the first correct answer form each blank.
    What does all this mean?

    Hello There,
    If you have multiple blanks in a question, this pull down helps you to change the answer for other blanks as well by quickly changing the option. And yes, when we have multiple correct answers, the blank shows the first correct answer.
    Hope this info helps.
    Thanks,

  • "Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

    In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
    I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller. 
    As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
    Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

    HI Velders,
    Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
    Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
    Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Using wild card with Captivate 5 ( fill in the blank)

    I am training software package that requires many fill in the blanks besides the login screeen.  If I were to recording the actions using Captivate 5 record, I think,  I can only use a demonstration recording as oppsed to having my students interact with the product by filling in the blank. For example, my product asks for a login. When I login to demonstrate how it should be done, the product reponds correctly.  By my student is limited to watching as opposed to interacting.  While login is not such a big deal, there are several other areas where the same concept applies.  Ideally, I wish to use wild cards in fill in the blank so that any name or information can be used to interact with Captivate and move the slide along.    Is this possible, and if so, how?

    I think Lilybiri may be misinterpreting your use of the term "wildcards" to mean using them in the programming sense.
    Perhaps you are referring to the characters that appear in a typical Password field to hide what the user is actually typing?
    If so, the text field object in Captivate has an option to use these password characters so that the user's typing characters are hidden.  The characters used are asterisks, which are what some people refer to as wildcard characters.

  • Please help me fill in the blank

    Our own �innovative� Chunk Sort algorithm is designed for sorting arrays that consist of a few presorted chunks. The idea is to find the next chunk and merge it with the already sorted beginning segment of the array. We will implement this algorithm iteratively, without recursion.
         Fill in the blanks in the following merge method:
    * Precondition: 0 <= m <= n
    * m == 0 or a[0] <= ... <= a[m-1]
    * n == m or a[m] <= ... <= a[n-1]
    * Postcondition: the values a[0] .. a[n-1] are arranged
    * in the ascending order
    private static void merge(int a[], int m, int n)
    // If any of the two segments is empty, do nothing:
    int i = 0, j = m; // starting indices into the two segments
    // Allocate a temporary array temp to hold n elements
    int k = 0; // starting index into the temporary array
    while (i < m && j < n)
    if ( ______________________ )
    else
    k++;
    // Copy remaining elements:
    while (i < m)
    k++;
    while (j < n)
    k++;
    // Copy temp back to a:
    for ( _____________________________________ )

  • Changing font / appearance of Fill-in-the-blank questions

    1) I am using a Fill-in-the-blank question. I can change the
    font of the name and the description, but not of the Blank Answers
    themselves. I figure this should be possible, since these are
    basically text entry boxes (or drop down lists if you select the
    list option). Is there a way to do this? Perhaps an option I
    missed, or with a Javascript code that modifies some system
    variables, or some other way?
    2) Also, how can I get rid of the numbering in front of the
    Blank Answers that Captivate generates? Is there a way to do this
    (an option I missed, Javascript, or whatever)? I even tried to
    cover them up with a highlight box, but Captivate does not allow me
    to bring the highlight box in front in z-order.
    Surely, you wonder why would I want to do this, especially
    #2. One really useful example would be to embed the Blank Answers
    in the Phrase itself. Example:
    The <1> and the <2> are the two longest rivers on
    earth.
    1. __________
    2. __________
    By adding some blanks in the Phrase and moving around the
    Blank Answers, this could be turned into:
    The __________ and the __________ are the two longest rivers
    on earth.
    I would think that many would consider the second version
    more appealing.
    In addition, this would open other possible uses for
    Fill-in-the-blank questions. For example, consider a table or
    spreadsheet like setting where each Blank Answer is actually a
    cell. The user fills in the cells, and all entries are evaluated
    when the user submits.

    I guess the best response would be generate the
    Fill-In-The-Blank question as Captivate requires. After it creates
    the questions slide, double click on the text box you wish to edit.
    For example, when you publish your question "The <1>
    and the <2> are the two longest rivers on earth.", this will
    appear as a text box on the screen. Double click it to edit and
    change "<1>" and "<2>" to "___________".
    You should also be able to edit your answer boxes in this
    manner as well.

  • Fill In The Blank / Sequence Questions

    Is it possible to have a fill in the blank question in captivate (4 or 5) that is scored according to how many options the user got correct?
    For example:
    If you use 4 grams of 'b' you will need _____ grams of 'x', _____ grams of 'y' and ____ grams of 'z' to complete the forumula.
    In this example if they answered all 3 blanks correctly they would get 3 points, 2 correct answers would give them 2 points and so on.
    Also, is it possible to  score sequence questions according to how many items were correctly sequenced?

    Hello,
    For the moment partial scoring (as I'm calling it) is not possible in Captivate, at least not in the included Question slides. If you want that feature, and you are certainly not alone, please fill in a Feature Request to get this feature on the priority list of the Adobe team.
    If you do not mind the work, it is possible to create question slides yourself using the available objects, user variables and advanced actions. I wrote several articles and blogged about those workarounds, one of them is about creating question slides with possibility for partial scoring (it is not a FIB-question but the principles are the same):

    Hey everyone,
    So I am working on a new program that requires a fill in the blank section.

Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Linda,
    I will try this.
    I tried too.
    I started with a blank Page Layout document in Pages (File > New From Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas.
    I added four Text Boxes to that blank canvas:
    In my example, the Text Boxes all have black outlines for clarity in that screen shot (select the Text Boxes, then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > Line and set the line style, colour and width).
    Then File > Print...
    and on the bottom left of the Print dialogue:
    Save with a suitable document name in a convenient location.
    Then open that PDF in Preview and type the word DoubleClick in each user field:
    Double clicking will select that "word" and it will act as the Place Holder Text that Peter referred to. The user can begin typing to replace that "word".
    Please be aware that this PDF is not a locked form with fields that users can enter data. Here, I show how to select (and possibly vandalise) the Name box:
    It all depends upon how well you can trust your users!
