Captivate 7 remediation

Hi,
I am using Captivate 7 and have created a training project that has 5 sections of slides
with 4 questions after each section. (Only want 1 quiz results page)
I have set the quiz to "jump to slide" after failed attempts for remediation.
The next button is configured to "return to quiz"
The first section "next" buttons work because not in "quizmode" yet, but following section
jumps to quiz question when navigating slides...I hope I explained this right.
Anyone have any ideas of how to make this work or other ideas to get around?

Thanks for your response....
The users will have to answer question successfully to move forward...they will have infinite attempts to answer so no retake is necessary.
The 1 section content slides have been viewed and questions have been answered successfully with proper remediation to content slide when answered wrong. (infinite loop
until right answer is provided)
The first slide of the 2 section when clicking next button jumps forward to first quiz question in the 2 section instead of going to next slide.
How can the next buttons action be programmed to go to next slide while set to "return to quiz" and already in quiz scope? (my head hurts)

Remediation Workflow in Captivate 7

I'm trying to incorporate remediation in my quizzing using Adobe Captivate 7. I've watched this tutorial, Remediation in Quizzing -AdobeCaptivate 6 - YouTube , as well as read through other posts and I haven't found my answer even though I think others have had similar issues. I have 24 content slides and then 5 question slides that follow. When I preview my entire project the first time, and I get to a slide that is eventually a remediation slide, I am not able to use the 'Next' button to advance to the next slide. During the quiz, remediation works appropriately and takes me to my content slide. I'm also able to hit 'Next' and return to the quiz question.
I have the 'Quiz Properties' - 'Actions' set as follows:
On Success: Continue
Attempts: 1
Failure Levels: None
Last Attempt: Jump to slide
Slide: Slide 5
I have the 'Next' button 'Actions' set as follows:
On Success: Return to Quiz
Attempts: Infinite
Allow Mouse Click
Shortcut: Enter
Is this an issue with my settings or is there another issue or concern I'm not thinking of? Please help. Thank you!

OK, cannot log in to the forums (already problems whole day). But I see
that the shapes are not in the timeline during the active portion of the
click box! How do you want them to become visible?
And please, the bug patch to 7.0.1.237 was released in October last year,
install it ASAP.

In Captivate 7, the smart shapes I attached to a click button, will
not display in html5 or the web display. They show up fine in the timeline.

Captivate 7 - Some Users Not Getting 100% of Answers Correct with Question Remediation

We are using Captivate 7 content to deliver courses via Adobe Connect 9.1. We are experiencing an interesting issue with question remediation. When a user takes the quiz question and gets the answer wrong, the user is taken back to spot in the course where he/she can review the information. Once the user is done reviewing the information, he/she is taken back to the question to answer it correctly. The learner has infinite attempts to get the answer correct. In theory, the user should always get 100% for the final test score. We are noticing that some users (10%) actually don’t get 100% of the answers correct according to Adobe Connect transcript reports.
Is there something we can look at to see what might be causing the incorrect score? Is there a known issue?
We publish Captivate 7 content as SWF/HTML 5 on Adobe Connect 9.1.

Unfortunately, the discussion here led me to the resolution, but is not terribly valuable from a Captivate standpoint. It turns out that we have a custom database script running on the Adobe Connect back end to correct people who have been left in an "In Progress" state even though they have a passing score and appear to have completed the course. To avoid the script changing these records to pass, we bumped the passing score to 100%.
Thanks for the help!

Captivate 6 issue with quiz remediation

Hi,
I have below scenario,
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
quiz slide: In the quiz slide if user enters correct answer it should take to the next slide, if user enters wrong answer should go back to Slide 3 to review the content. After review should be able to take quiz again.
slide 4
slide 5
Currently issue is when user enters wrong answer, he is redirected to slide 3 for review but when he comes back to quiz slide submit button is disabled. i tried several options like adding click interaction on slide 3 and including this as part of quiz scope. nothing worked. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Krishna

Captivate 6 includes a new feature called Return to Quiz.
You can set the On Last Attempt action on the Quiz slide to jump to your remediation slide (3). You can place a button on that slide labelled as Next and set its action as Return to Quiz. The first time the user passes through that remediation slide, the button action defaults to Continue. But if you returned to that slide from a failed question slide, then on clicking the button again it would jump you back to the question slide you just failed, and the user would be given another attempt at the question.
I'm not personally in favour of this particular 'feature' because it basically means the user can loop around as many times as they want until they get the question correct. In my view this isn't great instructional design.
But it might be good enough for what you want.

Remediation enquiry

I am currently using Captivate 6 and am having issues with remediation and quiz movements. Currently I would like to have the following set up:
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
question slide
- if correct move on to next slide
- if incorrect move to slide 2 for review - then when next is clicked move to question slide to re-answer
Currently, I have this set up however, the next button on slide 2 never goes to slide 3. If I skip ahead it all works perfectly. If the answer is incorrect it jumps to slide 2 for review and then when next is clicked it goes back to the question slide and continues.
How can I get the button to work initially. I have gone back to slide 2 and chosen return to quiz as I had viewed on the demo video that it should retain its natural continue state as well. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I have ticked branch aware (not sure if this has anything to do with it, but just in case) both on and off. As this is a new product for me and there are virtually no tutorials (one on adobe Youtube channel only) out there I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Darren

One quirk I have noticed with remediation as well, at least in Captivate 8.
Slide 1
Slide 2
Slide 3
Question 1
Question 2
Quiz Results slide
Question 2 - failure set to Jump to Slide 2
Slide 2 has a shape button set to Return to Quiz
Slide 2 also has some stuff animating in. The button appears for the entire slide, the button pause happens (quite a while) after all other elements have animated in.
In this scenario, when you're going through the presentation for the first time and click on the button on slide 2, it doesn't forward to slide 3 until the playhead gets to the pause. And then it just 'continues' down the timeline, so you have to wait like another second.
So if you don't want to sit through all the time it takes for things to animate in and try to click the button, it looks like the button is non-responsive because really, but you're really just waiting for the playhead to move down the timeline.
This is not consistent with how it works on a 'normal' slide (meaning, one that doesn't have a button action or a slide OnExit set to Return to Quiz). On a normal slide, you can click a button before the playhead has hit the pause and you'll advance to the next slide (or whatever you've set your action to be).
Conclusion: keep your button pause as close to the beginning of the timeline as you can. Which also means try to keep animations/fade ins etc super short on a slide with a button set to 'Return to Quiz'.
Hope that makes sense.

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Trouble playing a PDF generated from Captivate

I have Adobe Pro and Flash Player 11.1, but unable to play a PDF generated from a Captivate file. The first message I get when I publish is "Note:To view the generated PDF file, you must have Adobe Reader version 9 or later."
When I open the generated PDF, i get this message "TO view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player."
WHat am I missing or doing wrong?

You may want to ask in the Captivate forum, as this would likely be something that can be remedied with different "Save" settings. My experience with Captivate is limited, so I can't really offer anything I'd be 100% sure of.

Lock the progress bar in the playbar (Captivate 8)

I'm looking for a way to lock the progress bar in the playbar in Captivate 8. This has come up a few times in regards to older versions of Captivate, but I haven't seen anything for 7 or 8 yet.
I've tried this: Captivate 6 Help me Lock the Progress Bar in the Playbar, which relates to ver 6, but seemed to kinda do what I'm looking for, but not exactly.
However, the Playbar Lock Widget seems to do exactly what I'm looking for (Flash-Factor » Playbar Lock Widget (Cp5, Cp5.5)) but is for 5 and 5.5 only. According to this threadCaptivate 6 playbar lock, the widget doesn't work on 6, so I assume it doesn't work on 7 or 8, either. I've emailed the developer (Whyves) the other day, but considering the last activity on that site was a couple of years ago, I'm not really expecting a response.
Does anyone know if there is an easy-ish way to do this or if there is an updated version of this widget available?
Thanks,
Marc

Lilybiri,
Thank you very much for your response. I realize it was very unlikely that particular widget would be updated, but was hoping someone has since been able to make something like that work in Captivate 8 (or even Cp7).
I am actually working on a project that must be completed in a linear fashion the first time through. It consists of three parts, with each part consisting of a short video presentation followed by a couple of knowledge check/quiz questions. Learners must correctly answer the questions before they can proceed to the next part, and should be able to review the video they just watched (or any previous video) at any time, but they must not be able to skip ahead to the next video until they've correctly answered the KC questions for each part, or to skip the video the first time through.
Enabling remediation helps in that it allows learners to re-watch the video before and even during the knowledge checks without getting 'stuck' on a question they've answered correctly already. However, it seems that forcing a linear flow while still giving learners an idea of their progress through the course via a progress bar without allowing them to use it to skip ahead has proven very difficult to do.
The widget seemed to perfectly fit the bill in that it would disable 'scrubbing' with the progress bar until learners completed the activity. Then, once they've completed it, they could now use the progress bar to review the material again if they wished.
Oh, well... we'll keep digging and hoping that maybe someone out there with more knowledge and skill in this than us figures out a way to make it work.
Thanks again!

Captions and Buttons for Captivate 5.5 Templates

I can't seem to find the buttons or captions from the templates in Captivate 5.5 so I can edit them (change the color). Does anyone know where they're located? For example, design5_correct_caption or design5_submit (from the Black_and_white.cptx template).
Thanks.

Hello and welcome,
Did you see the Help? And that is certainly not a complete documentation. How do you want to see such a list for an application that has that many features?
In the Help you'll certainly find an answer about SCORM supported (1.2 and 2004) and the templates used in 6 are improved ones. Types of questions you'll find in the Help easily (didn't change that much) but the extended features like Branch aware, partial scoring, remediation, Submit all, pretest, penalties you'll have to look a bit further. No games, nor mathematical equations included except the Wordgame Interaction in Captivate 6. With Advanced actions you can have the 4 primary mathematical operators, but no functions are available.
I published some lists on my blog (Effects, Widgets, Statements in Advanced actions, System variables), with more details, use cases and tips. Perhaps not what you are looking for?

Remediation and Previous Content Slides

The way our team sets up our tutorials is that we disperse quiz slides throughout and set the quiz to jump to a slide if the question is missed. Then when the content slide is viewed, the learner is taken back to the quiz. Our remediation works....the issue we have is if we enable navigation for visited slides only, and some goes back and comes back to a quiz question, they get "stuck" on the quiz. Is there a way to avoid this?

Hi
After some investigation I think I understood how to use the clear cache options in column links. What was confusing me is that I am using a "URL" as target in my link and not a "page in the application".
When you use a URL as target you do not have the option to clear the cache as you have when using a page. BTW my target URL is a javascript: code to open a popup window.
How to clear the cache of a specific page in this scenario? This would help me.
Thanks

Remediation for single-clicking a double-click action

I'm using the double mouse click feature of a Click box in a
software simulation lesson we've built in captivate. Unfortunately
when the user single-clicks in the Click box, no remediation shows
to tell the user that they must double-click in the box to complete
the step.
Anyone have any ideas on how to provide the user with
remediation on single clicking a double click Click box?
Thanks,

Um... there are no macros. Captivate is a closed system with
no documented API outside of some variables you can read and in
some cases, set to make Captivate do some simple navigation-related
things. Search the Captivate help file for 'variables' and you'll
find a list.
Outside of that, the only official ways to "enhance"
Captivate are either to:
- Create your own standalone functionality in Flash and
insert it in Captivate as a self-contained animation. This can be
problematic due to the closed nature of the Captivate runtime, as
well as the layering imposed by the use of skins and borders.
- Make Javascript calls to the browser and put the
functionality there. Since there is limited interactivity between
Javascript and Flash, this is much more limited in scope than
inserting your own self-contained animations
Some folks have also opened up a published SWF with a
decompiler program and viewed the Adobe source code in an effort to
make their inserted animations do cooler things, but that is very
much an unsupported activity.

Remediation - 'Return to Quiz' button?

Hi folks,
I've just watched an excellent Lynda.com course on Captivate 8 (Essential Training). However, one issue has confused me and this is on remediation. I've used remediation in the past, and sometimes the slide movement become a bit 'sticky' and I don't really like to use the 'Next' navigation button for the 'Return to Quiz' action.
The course says that if you have a quiz question that returns to an earlier slide (i.e. via remediation) you can create a new button that states 'Return to Quiz' (i.e. in addition to any existing navigation buttons), make the action for this new button 'Return to Quiz' and this button will not appear in the normal flow of the course, but will appear if the slide is visited via the remediation route in the end quiz.
To quote Lynda.com 'This is a special action that's going to keep the button hidden unless they navigate to the slide straight from the quiz'. However, when I have tried this, the new button appears in the normal flow of viewing the course?
I have watched this part of the course a number of times and it appears they are definitely saying that the new 'Return to Quiz' button should only appear when visited via the quiz.
Are they wrong? Captivate 8 bug?
Cheers,
John

I didn't watch the CP8 course on Lynda, but I found the previous course of very low quality, totally different from what they normally offer for the 'big' Adobe applications. Just FYI I'm an almost daily user of Lynda. Again you prove here that there are quite a lot of 'bugs' in that course, half-explained or even wrongly explained work flows and bad practice tell me that the creator is certainly not an expert Captivate user. Sorry for that ranting but I have spent so many hours in trying to clarify work flows to Captivate users that took that course and got stuck very quickly when they tried to use the acquired knowledge.
Remediation is not hiding the button. You need a Next button and have to trigger the action 'Return to Quiz' with that button. When the content slide is visited from another content slide, the Next button will automatically execute the action 'Go to Next Slide', but when the slide is visited from a Question slide, the Next button will get the user back to the Question slide. Only when the question will be answered correctly, will he be able to continue with the Quiz.
Again, this is NOT a Captivate bug, this is a bug in your 'excellent' course.

Remediation Quiz Scoring?

I am using Captivate 6. I have a project of 60 slides including 10 quiz question slides. I am using Remediation. When the quiz is launched, I want my users to review the information slide if they select the wrong answer and return to the quiz.
My "attempts" is set to 1.
My Last Attempt sends my users to specific slides if they guess incorrectly.
Each slide is set to "return to quiz"
The Rememdiation process works great. I've tested all the quiz slides by choosing an incorrect answer then jumping to the review slide then returning to the quiz to select the correct answer.
However, at the Results slide at the end of the quiz states that I have FAILED the quiz. I don't understand why this is possible? Each time I 'return to the quiz' I select the 'correct' answer. Why would I get a Failing grade?
Can someone please explain this to me? And how I can resolve this issue? I need my users to 'Pass" the quiz if they achieve a passing grade even if they had to use the 'remediation slides.'
thanks!!!

Thanks for posting this. I had promised to explain the new functionalities in some articles, like I did in the past because of the lack of documentation by Adobe, but still didn't find the time and now have to transfer my blog to another host as well.
Indeed, I would never have suggested to increase the number of attempts at all, it should be possible to change the answer when getting back from the content slide even with only 1 attempt.
I will try to explain what I understand about 'Branch aware', a new feature as well. It makes the Quizzing system variables 'dynamic', instead of static. Normally when turned off, the maximum score, the number of question slides are fixed when the user takes the first question. If Branch aware is turned on, those values will be calculated dynamically from the question slides that are visited by the user. This means that if you provide a bunch questions for beginners, and another bunch for advanced users and the student chooses one of them, the maximum score and the number of questions that will appear on the score slide (and be used to calculate percentage and Pass/Fail status) are based only on that branch of questions.
Your experience now could be explained (have to double-check, please beware) as follows:
when the user comes back to a question slide, this is counted for a second time in the number of questions and its individual score is also added a second time to the maximum score
when the percentage is calculated (did you show it in the score slide?), since the total score is now more than normal, that percentage will be lower than expected
Pass/Fail status is checked based on that Percentage compared to the minimum percentage required, so this could explain the Fail status.
Something I really have to check out, and hopefully when my blog is transferred, try to tell other users about my exploring. I already did detect a lot of problems, and most (if not all) are solved in the latest patches/upgrades. Maybe this is another aspect that should be addressed, or at least get a warning dialog.
Here the links to the articles about question slides in previous versions:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/question-question-slides-part-2
Lilybiri
PS Only now checked your screenshots, did reply to your last mail. NaN means not available... so this could mean that Captivate is confused and didn't know or got stuck on updating the system variables cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints and cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Default status is Failed, and since CP cannot calculate the percentage, this will be reported as Failed.

Remediation functionality....

Hi,
I am using SUN 7.1 version and i need help to get the details about remediation functionality. What we are doing:
1) From end user page we are login with user id and clicking on remediation tab then we are able to find the request list and if we click on any one of request hiper link then one page is displaying like "Request Remediation" and there are four buttons like "remediate", "Forward", "EditUser", "Cancel". But when we are clicking on Edit User Button then there is no action generating on that.
I need assistance to get the details to know that how to execute the Update User WF when clcik on Edit Use Button or How to use this Button Functionality.
Rajiv...

Sure, to sum it up first, the basic mechanic is that each slide asks the captivate project whether or not it's been answered correctly. If it has already been answered correclty it's skipped. At the end of the quiz it goes back to the start.
In a little more detail:
Slide 1 - I set a variable at the root level as an array that is the length of the number of questions I have in the slide. I then set all of the cells in the array to 0.
Question Slides - At each question I check whether or not its corrosponding array cell has a 1 or a 0 in it. If it's a 0 I continue with the question. If it's a 1 I skip to the next slide (this necessitates a slide transition of some kind otherwise you see a single frame of the question that you're skipping
After the Quiz - I have a slide that compares the total value of the array cells added up against the length of the array. If the array value is the same as the length then all questions have been answered correctly. If not it returns to the beginning of the quiz. Rinse, repeat.

Remediation redirection buttons showing

Hi,
I am using Captivate 7 for a lesson. I am attempting to insert remediation tools in my quiz. My understanding is that the button I insert on a slide that is connected a wrong answer, should only show if it is accessed from the quiz question. Therefore, when the learner is viewing the lesson initially the button (which in this case is a continue button) cannot be viewed, but if they take the quiz and get the answer wrong clicking the quiz slide will take them to the slide that gives that shows the correct answer. I cannot keep the button from being seen initially.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Your information is not correct, if I understand well your explanation. The Next button that is on the Content slide to which the user will be sent for remediation has a double functionality:
If not coming from a quiz slide, it acts as a normal Next button, although the action triggered is 'Return to Quiz'
If coming from a quiz slide to this content slide, it will return the user to the quiz slide.
