Amending quiz question points

Hi guys
Using cp5 I've created a quiz but due to the vagaries of the LMS I need to amend the total points of each question (defaults to 10 as can be seen in the Advanced Interaction table but need to reduce each one). Is this possible? It was in previous versions. I've looked all over but can find no way of achieving this.
As always all help appreciated
Spiersey

Are you looking for the points in the Quiz Properties panel:
If this is what you are looking for, may I recommend switching to the Quizzing workspace? In that workspace you'll have both the Properties panel and the Quiz Properties panel at your fingertips, whereas in the Classic workspace they are both grouped in the same docking station at the right side.

Reduce Question Point Value with Each Guess

Hello All,
I'm attempting to create a quiz in Captivate 5.5 with 26 multiple choice questions. The catch is that the more attempts it takes to get the right answer, the less points they earn for that question. For instance, if they come to the question and get it right on the first try they get 4 points. If they get it on their 2nd guess they get 2 points. If they get it on their 3rd guess they get 1 point. After that they earn 0 points.
I also need to send SCORM results to an LMS. All I need in those results is the total points scored.
I've thought of a few different ways to attack this, but neither is very elegant. The first was to create Possible Points and Earned Points variables. The Possible Points variable was reduced by the appropriate amount after a wrong guess and added to the Earned Points variable and reset to 4 after a good guess. This would have worked, except I didn't know how to have the project report the Earned Points variable to the LMS instead of (or in addition to) the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored.
The other way was to make as many duplicate slides for each question as there were possible answers. The only thing different on each slide would be the question point value. The person gets it wrong, they go to the next slide, which is worth less, rinse, repeat. The person gets it right, they jump to the first slide of the next question. This would work, using the system variables, but editing any questions later would be cumbersome.
This is my first captivate project, so hopefully I am just missing some easy setting. I couldn't find anything in my many searches, though. Any gurus have a thought on how to do this?
Thanks in advance for the help!

The problem is that the score for every question slide, or for every scored object (like a button) will be added to the total score. You can perfectly store the result in a user variable, but the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored is a read-only variable. I have been trying to explain this issue in a blog post:

Learners unable to enter answers to quiz questions

I've launched our first course and I'm coming across an issue that I haven't encountered as we tested the course.
I've created the course in Captivate 5.
All of our learners are using their own computers to complete the training, and I have no control over what equipment they are using.
A couple have reported that they are unable to enter answers to the quiz question. For example, it won't even let them click on the buttons for multiple choice answers. Those that have reported the issue seem to have older computers (around 5 years old), but say they've updated to the new version of flash player.
We've tested the module on somewhat newer computers, and we haven't come across that particular issue at all.
What could cause such a problem?
sanna

I think this is what I will try. After I had a chance to talk to those that encountered the issue they said they had moved backwards in the course.
It never occured to me when testing the course to skip backwards and forwards. Lesson learned.
Now when you say include a 'scored' button, what do you mean?
I already have a 'next' button at the beginning of the course that the learner clicks to get started. It's an image button. I see when I look at the properties for that image button that there is an option to include it in the quiz. Is that what you meant? Set it to be included in the quiz?
Does it make a difference whether or not points are assigned to it, or whether or not it is included in the results?
Thanks

Captivate 4 Arbitrarily Changing Quiz Question Values?

I've got a client who uses Captivate 4, and she's having a problem with quiz score values. She has 12 separate assessments, each with either 10, 15, or 25 questions, and she's very sure she has consistent question values in each so that each quiz adds up to 100 points.
Other users have opend the .cp movies and found the quizzes don't add up. Some vary as much as 10 points. When she opens the files, they're at 100 points. I opened one in Cap 5.5 and found that the value of two questions changed.
Any ideas on what's going on? I do remember that another client a few years ago was having scoring fits with Cap 3 along these same lines. I don't know if he ever found a solution.
Thanks.

Were any of these quiz questions originally created in an earlier version of Captivate and then upgraded?
Is this client using Report as SCORE instead of Report as PERCENTAGE in Quiz Settings?
If using SCORE, and you always need to have the questions add up to 100 for everything to work, I would suggest you try using Percentage instead. It's usually easier to work with.

Quiz questions in Captivate 7

I'm fairly new to Captivate, but well-versed with other Adobe products.
I'm working on quiz questions in Captivate 7, but maybe (hopefully?) I'm doing it all wrong. Outlined below:
Need questions sprinkled throughout the module, we call them "Check Your Understanding." For now, true/false, multiple choice, etc. Will eventually include rollovers, etc.
Currently, I have a multiple choice question. Slide begins with a header caption created with two shapes and a text caption with "Check Your Understanding." Would like that entire group to fly in from the left for seven seconds. When I preview the slide, half of the group is visible, but unmoving unless I hit Play. I thought it should play automatically?
Second, when the question is submitted, even if the question is wrong, it just advances to the next slide. I need to require a correct answer before moving on OR the correct answer to show, and maybe a reason why. I can't get any of that to work.
I don't have a need for the results/review slide to show at the end, but is that inhibiting the result from displaying on the slide itself?
Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Is this a default question slide or a custom question slide created using standard objects and advanced actions? If it is a default MCQ be careful not to delete objects that are normally available on the master slide for that question, you can make them invisible but deleting (with the exception of some buttons) could lead to weird results. You are using an effect I suppose for the group? Look at the timeline (or better post a screenshot of the timeline): for a default question slide there will be a pausing point (used by the two-step process of that question slide: http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate) and I suspect that this pause is interrupting your fly-in effect.
Read the blog post about the behavior of question slides please. And it is a good practice not to have the playbar available for question slides. Another intuition tells me that by hitting Play you forced the playhead to pass over the pausing point, in the inactive part of the slide and that is why the playhead continues after submitting.

Captivate 6 - Published - PDF does not play quiz questions

I just published my captivate 6 presentation. I am launching the .pdf file to view. At the end, the quiz questions do not work. I get a white screen and not my questions. Any ideas? Thanks

Below is a screen shot of the published settings. The whole training presentation plays as expected. Then when it gets to the quiz questions I get a white screen and nothing happens.
After I publish, I go to the zip file and run the pdf version.
This is for someone to view the training outside of our LMS system.
Here are the preferences ....

Stuck in course before quiz question

Hi. I have a course where users get to a quiz question, then after going backwards to review content prior to that quiz question, then upon trying to go forward again, gets stuck on the content slide right before that quiz question and can never move forward again.
Quiz is set to Answer All, allow backward movement
Course is locked for every slide, Advnace by user

Hi,
Please check the number of attempts you have allowed per question, if the attempt set per question is one, the slide would get locked and would not allow any further attempts to be made
Please check the attempts for each question, modify it with number that you would like to allow.
Thanks,

Modifying Quiz Question Format/Content

Issue: When we modify a quiz question in PowerPoint and then
go to the Quiz Manager the entire slide deck reverts to the format
before the changes, regardless of being saved previously.
Has anyone had this happen..please help.
I am trying to make edits/changes to a long presentation that
I need to deliver tomorrow and I keep losing the work I am doing.
Is there a better way to make the changes to the slides?
Thank you,
Scott

You can't modify quiz questions in the presentation itself -
you need to make those changes in the quiz manager itself. You can
adjust font size, lay out, etc on the slide itself, but not the
content

Quiz questions will not retain format when question is changed.

OK forum folks. I'm working on my first e-learning project and have ran into a problem with question formating. The instructions/help basically tell you to click here and click there. I can easily figure that out. The questions I seem to have are quite a bit deeper.
I have a predefined template which is company approved. I have created master slides in the question pool for both a 4 item match and a 5 item match (I have found if I add a line to the 4 matching line quiz the line spacing and formatting changes). The placeholder questions are essentially non-questions.
I duplicate the master slide in the question pool to maintain the original format (spacing, location, etc.).
I change the placeholder questions on the duplicated slide to the real question (slide is still in the slide pool)
The formatting (font, spacing, locations, etc.) change on the new (edited) questions and require reformatting.I have also tried copying the master question slide to the filmstrip and editing the copied slide questions in the filmstrip. I receive the same results.
Is there are way I can create masters in the current format so I can use the approved templates, edit the questions and not have to reformat the slide after the questions have been changed?
Also, is there a way to lock the formatting of the questions? If I want to add/delete a new question or line to the slide, it would be great to be able to not have to reformat the slide for the change.
I look forward to your answers.
Thank you.

I am trying to deal with the same issue. The master slides are more about background elements and navigation buttons, but they do not seem to allow for the addition of quiz elements.
I have come up with a workaround that I hope will work. What I am doing is creating a new project that becomes my quiz question layout library (Let's call this Project 2). In this project I add the various types of questions I will be using in my project (multiple choice with three choices, multiple choice with five, true/false, etc...). I get all the quiz elements in place for each type of question (the header, question, submit/clear buttons, review area, etc...).
These slides serve as my Master slides for my actual project (Project 1). I can copy and paste the appropriate layout from Project 2 to Project 1 and then change the questions themselves.
I am sure I will find out the downside of this soon enough...
There is no doubt the creation of masters for quiz questions needs work, actually it needs just to exist!

Extra line after first item in quiz questions

I just started using Captivate 7. I made a template with some quiz questions and there is an extra line after the 2nd radio button in the templates for multiple choice and true false questions. Is that normal ?
Screen shot.

I'm experiencing the same problem, also on Captivate 7.
The alignment is fine on the master slide, but every time I load a multiple choice or true/false question the "B" answer appears like this.
I've tried it with every theme and the same thing is happening. I've also had the program uninstalled and reinstalled and still the error is there.
I've searched on different forums, but no one seems to have the answer.

Quiz question formatting

Is there any fix in the works for controlling how Quiz
Manager formats quiz questions/answers? Every time we need to make
an edit and go back into Quiz Manager, we have to reformat our quiz
slides. This is extremely time consuming and frustrating. Please
Adobe, put some formatting controls into the quiz manager (such as
font size), or fix your program in such a way as to not touch the
formatting that we do to our quiz question slides in
Powerpoint.

I have worked a lot with presenter and have manually formated
the look of the questions after the slide has been generated and
have not ever had an error. I have changed location, spacing, font,
and size and added content to quiz slides, all without incident.
Are you using Presenter 6.2? This may be an issue of using an
older version of Presenter.

How do you change quiz questions to look like your PowerPoint template without doing it manually on

We have a customized PowerPoint template with our branding colors and font applied. We need the Presenter quiz questions to have the same customized look. We need the questions to appear differently than the default, and we need our branding colors applied. I have been searching in Google, have read the Adobe Presenter 9 user manual, and cannot figure out if we can do this without applying the changes manually on each quiz question written. Is there a place in Presenter where we can customize the entire quiz question page? If so, where and how can you accomplish this?

I know it's an old thread, but Rob did do a good job of explaining how to setup a master slide for your Quizzes. Not sure that all steps still apply, but you get the general idea.

Add video feedback to quiz question

There is a presentation demo on the Adobe site called 'Breeze
for Rapid-training' which has a question and when answered, plays a
video. I cannot seem to find any information to do this. how is it
done?
Thanks Michelle

Are you sure the feedback is on the same slide or are they
using branching to send you to a choice of slides with video on
them? I believe this is how you'd do it:
First, create a slide continaing you're video.
Then use the hide slide function in powerpoint so that people
won't be able to access the slide unless they go through the quiz
to get to it
Now craete a quiz question and use the branching feature to
go to that slide with the video
This is a very quick and dirty explanation, so please let me
know if you need more explanation or if you need more detail.
Best,
Jon

How do I create quiz question in reflow?

How do I create quiz question in reflow? There is form element but how am I going to get the value of the radio button or the text entry?

You can design the quiz in Reflow but you'll need to code up some sever side code to collect the data and reports for your quiz. If you don't want to write the code you could look at Muse or an online service like typeform or some elearning solution.
Hope that helps,

.JPGs used in the drop/drag quiz questions

In Captivate 4, can .JPGs be used in drop/drag quiz questions? We need to see if Learners can properly "build up" a sub-assembly of a machine and they will need to know which part fits on top of the correct piece of equipment.
If not, any suggestions?

No. Currently no version of Captivate allows you to set up drag and drop interactions natively with images as the drag objects or targets.
However, there are two widgets that can be purchased to do this:
