Adobe Captivate 5 - Quiz stopping after leaving question slide to go backwards

I'm trying to force Captivate to do something I think it wasn't designed to do - Force the user to get 100% on a quiz. I've set the attempts to 'infinite' and customized the retry messages with little bits of information for the user. Currently, they can try the question as many times as they want until they get it correct but they cannot leave the slide even though there is a 'back' button available! I need them to be able to leave the question slide after attempting to answer the question, sort back through the information slides to learn the information, and return to the question slide to answer it correctly. The quiz stops entirely if you go backwards, then attempt to get back to the question slides.
Forcing them to retake the entire quiz is not an option as this will likely frustrate the user, especially as one of our presentations includes 100 questions. Even setting the failure levels to 3 is not good because eventually, someone will miss the question entirely and have to retake the quiz.
Any suggestions? Can this be done?
I have a short demo with all my settings if anyone wants to see it.

Hello,
Yep, you are bumping onto the limitations of the current default Quizzes. If you allow multiple attempts on Question level, the user will not be able to leave the slide without exhausting those attemps or having a correct answer. If you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level, the Retake button will delete all answers and the user has to redo the whole quiz.
The only way I found was by creating my own question slides. I even succeeded in making Quiz Retake function only for incorrect answers. This is however a lot of work and when I read the amount of questions you are providing...

  • Adobe Captivate 4 Playbar on a Question Slide

    I have a project created in Captivate 4 with two question slides.
    When I preview them, the playbar shows on these slides.
    Please let me know why the playbar is showing and how to turn it off.
    Thank you,
    David Gambal

    VJ and David,
    Be careful VJ when offering advice, variables are case sensitive and the correct system variable you are pointing at is:
       cpCmndShowPlaybar   (C not capitalized)
    It is available in the dropdown list for the simple actions (action accordion). Once you have hidden the playbar, you have to show it again on entering the first slide where you want to see it by changing its value again to 1.
    Lilybiri
    PS Sorry, forgot you are on CP4: the system variable is available in the Slide Properties, Navigation region:

  • Identifying Questions in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser

    Hi All,
    We have seen people requesting for identifying the Question from with in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser. In what way do you think Question needs to be reperesented within Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser?
    Will it useful if we show the actual thumbnail of the question itself?
    Or just showing the Question text will suffice?
    Thanks,
    Vikram

    Maybe you'd be better off turning off the shuffling of answers (given that it fouls up the reliability of the variable representing what you want) and use Question Pools instead.
    This would allow you to get some randomisation of the questions (which is what the answer shuffling is sort of trying to accomplish) but you'd be tracking actual questions.  You could have a number of variations of the same question in the pool.
    Does that get you any closer to your goal?

  • Adobe Captivate has stopped working -- BEX64 error

    After completely maxing out my hard drive (ouch!) while running Adobe Captivate 7, I am no longer able to launch Captivate. I receive the following error message:
    Adobe Captivate has stopped working.
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BEX64

    I've seen a few threads on this Problem Event Name, but the fixes don't appear to work in this case. Perhaps because of what triggered this error?

    Contacted Adobe Support. This was an easy fix for Mayank.
    He navigated to Users\Venderley\AppData\Local\Adobe. There he found the Captivate 7.0 folder and renamed it "Captivate 7.0_old"
    Did the same Users\Venderley\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Captivate 7.0.
    Then ran Captivate on my laptop as an administrator.
    Captivate reset all my preferences, and now launches.
    Hope the this helps anyone else who comes up with a similar issue.

  • Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working...

    I am new to Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working on Slide 7.  What can I try?

    Will you be delivering this content from an LMS?  If so, then the LMS should handle the menu.  Break your project into separate modules and use the Multi-SCORM Packager to create a bundled set.
    If you are not using an LMS, but ARE serving content from a web server, then YES you could create a menu module that you use to launch the other modules.
    If you are intending to serve this content from a LAN or CD ROM, then you could create a normal HTML web page with hyperlinks to launch individual modules.

  • "Adobe Captivate has stopped working"

    In April I download, paid and installed Captivate 3. The next
    five month I used Captivate, and most function worked as expected.
    The last month I have not used Captivate.
    Today I needed to do some work for a client - and suddenly
    Captivate is unable to start. I just get the message: "Adobe
    Captivate has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop
    working correctly. (...)". No splash screen.
    OBS: This is NOT the "Licensing for this product has stopped
    working" case.
    I have tried
    * to re-downoad and repair the installation
    * to go through all services and check that all relevant
    services are running.
    * following the instructions found in
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
    * searched for more solutions
    The only changes in my PC's configuration are the Windows
    automatic updates - and possibly a Flash update.
    Working environment: Vista Business english w. all updates
    incl. SP1 on a Dell Precision M90.
    A solution is urgently needed!
    In the meantime I have to use Camtasia Studio!
    Bent

    It may or may not have anything to do with your problem , but
    make sure that your user access control in Vista is disabled. I
    can't remember what the exact message was when I had a similar
    issue, but a clue would be a little vista shield on your shortcut.
    There is a thread that suggests going into the program file and
    starting from there, which worked until I figured out the UAC had
    been changed by my security program. I tried all of the things that
    you tried to no avail. There is a related thread somewhere in the
    forum that put me on the track for my issue. Hope your fix is that
    easy...

  • Adobe Captivate 6 - Closes saying Adobe captivate has stopped working

    Hi Team,
    I have a company procured Adobe Captivate 6. Till today morning it was working fine. Suddenly it threw and Error 16 - uninstall and reinstall product.
    I checked the forum and found one link http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html

    I need to use Captivate to do a lot of Rich Media deliverables which are getting delayed. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue?
    Thanks
    Varun

    Hi,
    Can you try recreating the Preferences of Captivate 6, then launch Captivate 6.
    Close Adobe Captivate.
    Locate the preference folder:    
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData (Hidden Folder) \Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 folder
    Windows XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 folder
    Mac:  /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Captivate 6 folder
    Rename the preference folder (rename Adobe Captivate 6 to anything).
    Restart Adobe Captivate. A new configuration folder is automatically created.
    If it is Windows 7, then try running Adobe Captivate 6 as administrator (Right Click on Adobe Captivate 6 icon, then run as admin).
           Please check whether this fixes it?
    Thanks.

  • Generate Report Troubles with Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer

    I'm new to Captivate 5 and am trying to utilize the Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer.
    I've enabled report for my project to Acrobat.com and configured as instructed in the online help.  The Post Result button appears on the Summary page and appears to work for the two colleagues taking the quiz.  But when I click the Generate Report button in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer, I get the message "Data is not present on local file system, downloading course data," but nothing occurs - no course data appears from the colleagues who are helping me test the quiz.
    I'm able to sign in to the Quiz Results Analyzer and it does display the organization, department and course name, but no course data (see image below).
    What am I doing incorrectly that keeps this from generating a course report?
    Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    Vish,
    Your solution worked at first.  I went in, took the course, and then went into Analyzer and was able to Generate Report and look at my stats.  However, I had a colleague take the course.  She did and posted the results and received a "successful" posting message.  Then, I went back into Analyzer and clicked the Generate Report button to see how the system worked when there was new learner data.  A "Checking for new data" played for a half hour before I finally gave up.
    I know that you were able to reproduce this issue where in clicking the Generate Report a second time brings up the loading animation that stays forever and that you were investigating the issue, but I thought I should post here just in case anyone else has a solution.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Adobe Captivate Quiz Analyzer Question

    Could you please kindly advise me....when I run the Adobe Captive Quiz Analyzer, I receive the message "No companies found in the current user account." I did, however, add the company name in the Captivate 8 "Configure Internal Server Settings" dialog. Is there something else that must be done? Is the company name perhaps restricted to one word? Thanks. The analyzer seems to recognize the local server, but does not see the company name.

    Do the reporter and read php files have to be at the same level as the actual captivate file in the website?
    I put the two files at the root directory level.
    Thanks.

  • On Adobe Captivate Quiz

    Hi,
    I want to create a quiz as seen in the following site: http://science.howstuffworks.com/invisibility-cloak-quiz1.htm?answerId=140312 in which after each question the answer is given immediately. Is it possible to create with same approach in Adobe Captivate 5.5?
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    with thanks and regards,
    Krishna

    Captivate's standard multiple choice question type requires the user to click a Submit button after making their choice, at which point a Sucess or Failure feedback caption can immediately provide text-based information to the learner.  These feedback captions can take many forms.  To replicate the type of feedback shown in your example course, you would need to use a transparent feedback caption type. 
    In fact, the example course from your link has to reload the page to show feedback. Captivate courses can do it a lot quicker because the content is already loaded for either success or failure feedback.
    However, one difference with your example course is that it gives feedback as soon as the user selects any one of the choices.  They are not using a Submit button.  If you wanted to get closer to this model of interaction then you would need to create your quiz question on normal Captivate slides using radio button widgets instead of the multi-choice question type.
    So you are certainly not short of options with Captivate.

  • Adobe Captivate Quiz- Submit Button

    Hi
    In the Quiz slides there is a "Submit" button. On clicking this button we get Correct / incorrect (text box). This is fine.
    But we want to also show a separate image/graphics ( correct answer).
    AAA. How can we program the "submit" button to launch Correct / incorrect (text box) & a graphic and pause on the slide. Move to next slide when "Next/Skip" button is pressed.
    BBB. If Submit button cannot be programmed, is there another way to show image/graphics (correct answer) along with Correct / incorrect (text box) after clicking submit.
    To us only option available is to put the correct answer image in a blank slide after each question. This approach will double the number of slides in the quiz. Anything more efficient?
    Thanks and regards
    Rajan

    Hi there
    I just performed a small test and made it work as follows. This assumes you are using Captivate 4.
    First I inserted an image on a Question slide and configured it as invisible.
    I then created an Advanced Action that performed the following actions.
    I then assigned the action to the "if correct" action for the question.
    During playback it seemed to behave exactly as you are requesting. The Question slide remained in place with the image visible until I clicked the Next button. The scoring seemed to remain unaffected.
    Cheers... Rick
