Captivate 5 knowledge check vs. quiz question issue

I would like to include question slides in my Captivate 5 project that do not score and are just used as quick knowledge checks.  I also will have a quiz at the end that will score and report to our LMS. I have tried a number of things, but none are taking the knowledge check questions out of the question total or the review quiz functionality.
I have tried marking the knowledge check questions as "survey" instead of "graded," and unchecked "report answers."  I don't see any other options available to me.  When I press F9, I cannot edit the question settings.  It looks like the Object ID may be causing my issue (since it is the same ID as the main quiz), but it doesn't seem like I can change that.
Any ideas?

When you say the survey questions are not being excluded from the quiz, are your talking about the progress captions that say Question X of Y?
If so, you should be aware that you can turn off these markers and create your own by inserting captions that use Variables and Advanced Actions to calculate the question number.
If you've set the score for the survey questions to 0 and unticked the box to prevent them from being included in reprorting, they shouldn't be affecting the overall pass/fail score for the user.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way I can randomize quiz questions in Adobe Captivate 6 on multiple attempts?

    I am trying to find a way in Captivate 6 to randomize quiz questions out of a pool (i.e.; 50 random questions slides are linked to a pool containing 63 questions, I want to allow for 3 attempts).  Things work great witht he first attempt, but Captivate 6 is not generating new questions when I click the Retake Quiz button after failing the first attempt.  Captivate 6 simply gives the exact same 50 questions as the first attempt in the exact same order.  Is there any way around this issue in Captivate 6?  Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have!

    Rod, just thinking out loud, and maybe this is too complex...
    Could (generic) you insert multiple random-question-slides and then control which slide is viewed based on how many quiz attemps have been made?
    That is..
    Slide 1 - question 1a
    Slide 2 - question 1b
    Slide 3 - question 1c
    On first attempt, go to slide 1, skip slide 2 and 3.  On second attempt, skip slide 1, go to slide 2, skip slide 3.  On third attempt, skip slides 1 and 2, go to slide 3.
    Could you use the cpQuizInfoAttempts variable to control the slide order with an advanced action?

  • Last quiz question just freezes

    A colleague of mine made a Captivate movie with three quiz
    questions. They are designed so that the user is allowed one
    attempt at each question, and if the user gets the question wrong,
    they are taken to the slide previous to the question slide so that
    they can review. The problem occurs on the third question. When the
    user gets it wrong, it does go back to the previous slide, but then
    when the user clicks the Next button to go back to the question
    slide, the question cannot be resubmitted. I've adjusted the number
    of attempts, the scoring, the backward movement, the pass/fail,
    etc., and I have no idea why that one question slide is being such
    a pain.
    I realize it has something to do with it being the last
    slide, because when I move it up to an earlier slide, it doesn't
    have the same problem, but the colleague wants the slides in this
    order.

    Hi Lira,
    Okay... gotcha. Usually when you have a quiz in a captivate
    movie - you cannot retake a quiz just by navigating back to it. In
    order to retake it - the movie would need to be reopened. I just
    created a quick sample to try it out myself - and was able to
    retake the quiz on the 2nd slide (I think because it is relaunching
    the movie by going back to the first slide.) When I get to the 4th
    slide - and get the quiz wrong - I go back to the 3rd slide - then
    when I get to the 4th slide again, I cannot retake the quiz. I am
    able to still navigate forward, because I set the option 'allow
    user to review quiz' in the Quiz Manager. This will display the
    'Next' button when I go back to a quiz question. You can then
    remove the 'Review Area' that displays, if you don't want them to
    have review information. I can explain this further if you need me
    to. I can't think of a solution to be able to have them retake the
    quiz - without relaunching the movie. I'm stumped. If I think of
    something - I'll post.

  • Captivate 7 - Incorrect Answers not allowing quiz to Continue. Buttons not functioning correctly (Clear, Back, Next). I have Knowledge Check

    I am experiencing a problem with the Quiz feature of Captivate 7. Correct answers are submitting o.k., but Incorrect answers are not. You cannot go forward with them, i.e., the program will not Continue or go to the next question with an Incorrect answer in the Assessment.
    This presentation has 15 Knowledge Check questions (0 points) and 10 Assessment Questions (10 points each).
    Also the buttons don't always work correctly, i.e. Clear, Next, Back.
    What could I try?

    Thank you for your response. No. I didn't do anything like that. I figured that I should probably divide this into 2 parts and aggregate them. That was going to work, but  I checked with one of our other users in TX. He told me that what they always do is to divide up the presentations into 2 parts. They don't aggregate them, but instead, let the LMS take care of going from the learning module (with the Knowledge Check questions) to the Assessment Module. Once you exit from the learning module, you immediately go into the assessment.
    Captivate 7 doesn't really allow for this type of test without aggregation or an LMS. You can have a pre-test, but it expects those questions to come at the beginning of the course, not to be interspersed throughout the course. I also found that using the Question Pools gave me more flexibility in moving Knowledge Check questions around using the Filmstrip.
    The other interesting thing was that the TX expert told me to remove the Accessibility Feature because, apparently, it causes other parts of Captivate not to work. I found that to be strange.

  • Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.

    Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.
    If I use both pretest questions and graded questions, can I also include remedial with return to quiz for both?

    Sorry, but I gave two workarounds: my preference is custom question slides, but you can also have questions slides where you do not add the score to the Total score. They will not be reported to the LMS and can act as Knowledge slides. Only some quizzing system variables can count all question slides, including the Knowledge slides, but the core variables (score, maximum score, percentage) will be correct. Here some links to my blog, that could help you:

    That each SCORM module can have only one quiz is a SCORM requirement, not a a Captivate specific feature. Camtasia is bit difficult to compare, it is not a fully blown authoring tool although the best video screen capture tool around (video is non interactive by definition). I don't use Storyline, but cannot imagine that they shouldn't create SCORM-compliant files.

  • 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.

  • Issue with First Quiz Question

    When I try to go back BEFORE answering the first quiz
    question, when I move forward again to the first question, it tells
    me that "You did not answer the question completely"and it will not
    allow me to answer this question or any additional questions. (I
    have set the option to use the BACK button in a quiz.) If I answer
    the FIRST question, it allows me to go backwards on any additional
    questions. Why can't I move backwards before I answer the first
    question? Is there something I am missing?

    As Mzedella said, my understanding is that backing out of the
    quiz (going backwards past the first question) costs the user an
    attempt, so if you've only allowed one attempt, the questions are
    considered not answered....
    We have a mix of content and questions (not a single block of
    quiz questions), and wanted to allow backward movement. We solved
    this problem by making the first slide a question. That way, the
    user is always in the quiz and they can move backward as much as
    they like.
    If you can't think of a good question for the first slide
    (often a question about their background knowledge is good), you
    can always make it 'are you ready to begin?'. A little clumsy, but
    you get the functionality you want.
    We further required all questions to be answered, so users
    can't skip ahead past unanswered questions. By removing the nav
    bar, but including a menu (via skin), users can easily review the
    material, but are still required to at least click through all the
    slides. This works for our application, but you many want something
    different.

  • Captivate 8, knowledge check radio buttons and check boxes not diplaying correctly in HTML5

    Hello. I am working in Cp 8 on a pc (Win 7, 64-bit) and publishing in HTML5, SCORM 2004, 3rd ed. My issue is with knowledge checks. In preview they look fine, but when published, the radio buttons and check boxes are oversized and do not appear as they should. Additionally, the rollover highlight that covers the distracters is skewed and does not cover all the text in cases of long answer choices. When published as a SWF, there are no issues but project requirements are for HTML5 output only. Help?

    Create an XML Schema (XSD) and define that as the default form schema. The form data will conforms to the order of fields defined in the XML schema.
    Hope that helps.

  • Captivate 5: Quiz question timing

    I created two quiz questions that have voice-over.  When the trainee answers the question and presses "y" or clicks anywhere, the module does not advance to the next screen.  It stays on the question slide for 41.9 seconds.  I tried to change the slide timing, but it just keeps reverting back to 41.9.  Does anyone know how I can change the timing or make the click/press work?

    Good question.  The voice-over is 26 seconds long.
    I just tried making two slides:  One with the voice over and one with just the question.  The question slide is still 41.9 seconds.  I'm beginning to think the time is tied to the length of the explanation when it is answered incorrectly.
    I remember in previous versions of Captivate, the programmer had control over what happens when the trainee clicks the screen or types a letter.  I don't see that interaction anymore.

  • Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference.

    Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference. Specifically i want have blank lines underneath an image, where the user looks at the image and types the correct letters to fill in the blank. For example a picture of a dog, with this _ _ _ underneath for the user to fill in, or in some cases perhaps having them fill in the vowel like so "d_g".I must have audio with this , as the students will be able to listen to the audio sound out the word phonetially to help them be able to type it!
    Appreciate any advice! Cheers!

  • Navigating Table of Contents with Module Reviews and Knowledge Checks

    I have been using 5.5 for at least 3 months without issue.  
    My current course is being published SCORM 1.2 to SumTotal LMS, but that is not relevant at this time.
    I have 3 modules in the course (3 module reviews and sets of knowledge check questions).
    Each set of knowledge check questions are 3 random questions from respective quiz pools.
    The final quiz is the only one with weighted values that report to the LMS.
    Problem...
    When you click past the Module Review (use Module Review 2) and take the knowledge check questions, and then click that Module Review 2 page via the Table of Contents, the Next and Back buttons do not work and everything freezes.
    This even happens when in preview mode in Captivate, and I don't even have to post to LMS.
    Help, please!

    I have a specific style set up (similary to body text) to dress the table of contents at 11pt. Overset text was my thought too! but its actually just an empty paragraph with a title. I've attached an image to help explain.

  • Back button not enabled in Knowledge Check

    How can I have the back button enabled in a Knowledge Check. We want the user to be able to move back to a previous slide, if necessary. I am using Captivate 8.
    Thanks, in advance.

    I suspect you mean a pretest slide? Navigation is disabled when onderging
    pretest slides. Use normal question slides, and do not add their score to
    quiz total or create custom question slides.

  • Results for quiz question

    Is there any way for the results to show on a quiz page
    without using the results screen?
    Background: I am creating a WBT with several quizzes in it. I
    am not showing the "results" page because we are truly not
    "grading" them. These are more of "knowledge" checks throughout the
    WBT. In addition, there is only one results page for the whole
    WBT...even though there are 3-4 quizzes in the different sections
    throughout...a bit confusing.
    Is there any way to show the results (when the answer is
    incorrect) on the page before continuing?
    Thanks for any help!!!!

    You can show the results of each individual question by using
    one or more of the Incorrect, correct and incomplete hint captions.
    You can turn these on or off and change the default text using the
    Default Labels section of the Quiz Preferences dialog. You can also
    edit them individually for each slide to tell them the correct
    answer if the answer is false.
    As for the results page, in a single captivate project you
    cannot set up multiple quizzes in different sections. Captivate
    treats quizzes in different sections as a single quiz and gives a
    single results page after the last question. If you want multiple
    quizzes with separate results in a single project, you can create
    this illusion using a number of interconnected but separate
    projects. If you don't want to grade your users you can just turn
    off the results page using the Settings section of the Quiz
    Preferences.
    Hope this helps, I know the information I'm offering is basic
    but it might answer your questions.
    You can turn off the results page
