Captivate custom quiz result answers

Hello all,
I'm not sure how to ask this so i'll just give you the result I'm looking for:
In captivate, i need to create a 20 ques. survery (yes/no answers). I need captivate to count the number of times the user chose "YES" and based of that number, provide a result/answer.
Example:
(Total number of "YES" chosen by user)
1-5 "You are happy"
6-10 "You are extremely happy"
11-15 "You are annoyingly happy"
I know variables are involved but not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
It can be done with advanced actions and a user variable, but why not use the functionalities of quizzes? Do not define the question slides as survey but as graded slides and attribute a score of 1 point to each question slide, with Yes set as correct answer. This will mean that the score at the end will be your counter, understand?
To show the correct Text Caption (You are happy, ....) you'll need an advanced conditional action. I can help you with that, but have to ask you which version of Captivate you are using.
I do not know in which timezone you are, but over here it is almost midnight, I'll close my laptop just now. So please be patient until tomorrow.

Captivate 7 Quiz Results - Will not close the quiz!

Hi everyone, I'm having a REALLY hard time configuring Captivate 7 to auto close when the quiz is done at the end of a presentation. The last slide in each of my presentations is the quiz results page, and no matte rhow I configure it, whether to exit with JavaScript, Exit, Close or continue to a new slide with an exit button, nothing will work. Can someone please help with this?

I'm glad to see others are having similar problems. We have a problem with the Exit button on the playbar. We have been using it for years in our CP6 courseware, with various LMSs (for clients), using a template, and it has worked. Now, with CP7, it's not working with one of the LMSs. The files created in CP6 still work, so it's not a change in the LMS. We bought multiple copies of CP7 for our various developers, and now we can't use them. Making an overall change, like removing the Exit button on the playbar and using another method, will mean that our courseware is not consistent from one application to another, which would not be a good solution.
Any ideas?

Captivate 4 - Quiz Results Issue

Hello. I have created a quiz using Captivate 4. At the end of the quiz I have used a variable to report the score. I used...$$cpInfoPercentage$$
In some situations the percentage appears greater than 100% when the user has made more than one error. I thought it might have something to do with matching questions where the user gets one portion of the question correct but not the entire question. I have been unable to recreate this situation but several users have reported it to me.
Any ideas what might be causing these skewed scores?
I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks!

That is what causing your problem. 30 seconds is much too long, unless you have an audio clip that has to play that long and is attached to the slide.
Keep the default duration of 3 seconds, please. The slide will automatically pause at 1.5secs and submit process takes two steps. Only after the second step the playhead will continue after 1.5seconds if you have left the actions On Success/After Last Attempt to Continue. Or it will do another action if you changed them.
Have a look at:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
And I suspect you have a lot of slides that have a long duration. This is only increasing your filesize without any valid reason. Each second is 30 frames.

Next button is superfluous during Quiz, only useful when reviewing. You have to read my blog post, please.

How do I get Connect 8 to report my Captivate 5 quiz results as a percent?

I have the latest Captivate patch (that over wrote CPSWFGenerator.dll) that was supposed to fix this but it still doesn't work. I have created/published a new test, have it set to report score as a percent with all of the reporting boxes checked. If I set the LMS preference to send an Email, I get the score published as a percent in the email but when I change the LMS preference from Email back to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro I get the raw score like 140/140. Help!

Dedicated is how much physical memory it have software cant change that its the same deal in osx

XML file format for Captivate 5 Quiz Result Analyzer

I need to know how the XML files and folders created by Adobe's php files are structured so I can try to duplicate the proces in Coldfusion.
We're a Microsoft shop so there's no way I'd be able to set up a WAMP server.
Is there documentation anywhere or would somebody be willing to post an example?
Many thanks in advance...

One of Adobe's Tech folks on the forum mentioned writing something like this for ColdFusion a few months back. He never got back to me and told me when he did write it it wouldn't be supported.

Custom Quiz with Master Widget not reporting in LMS (Captivate 5.5)

Hello,
I have written a custom quiz with partial scoring and, in order to report answers, I am using the Master Widget. (Huge thanks to Lilybiri and Infosemantics for all of the guidance I have found in blogs and e-learning classes!)
In summary, the quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). On each question slide I have added a Master Widget (using the variable representing the points the student received as a slave object). I want the quiz to report the score for each question. After the student has answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Here they view the total of their scores and get feedback on if their total is to high, too low, or in-line. On the results page I have used the Master Widget to report the total score to the quiz.
I have uploaded this quiz as a SCORM package to both Moodle 2.3 and Blackboard 9 (we are trialing different LMS systems). The quiz runs great in each LMS but when I try to access a report, I don't get any results: no report of the points received for each quiz item and no score total. In fact, in Blackboard I get a blank page:
In Moodle, I get:
Here is what my quiz preferences look like:
I am really stuck. I realize there are a lot of components to this process and I really need some help to find out where the problem lies.
Thank you for your time and help!!!

Bray,
Yes the figures shown on the Quiz Results slide are important because they indicate some of your widgets or other interactive objects are not being reported to the 'official' quiz score.
You need to go back and check the objects that you want to be included in the score. The 67% score reported by the quiz on the quiz results slide probably means that Captivate thinks you only have three objects reporting to the quiz and only two of those (two thirds or 67% in round figures) were successful.
You mentioned before that you have three Master widgets in this project. How many of them are set to report to the quiz? To test whether they're all reporting success, turn on Success and Failure captions for these widgets and then run through your interaction.
When using Slave Variables with the Master widgets for partial scoring, don't forget that although the Master widgets might count these variables as being interactive objects, Captivate does not.
Although the Master widget is VERY powerful, it also tends to mess with people's minds because there are just SO many ways you can configure it. If using partial scoring, check whether or not you have the option set to over-ride the widgets own assigned score with the total points score from the slave objects. If you use this option, you need to make sure that at no time can the over-ridden score fall outside the 0-100% range that SCORM-compliant LMSs will accept.

I accidentally deleted a button I need on the quiz results page in captivate 8. How do I get it back?

Go back into Quiz, Preferences, Pass or Fail. Uncheck 'Retake button' and check it again, it will reappear on the Score slide.

Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer - Error in Results

Dear Sir
I don't understand why I got the results below. All questions were reflected as 'Total Skipped' when all was answered.
Your inputs would be very much appreciated.
Thanks & regards...

So I figured out I made a stuipd mistake and mixed up acrobat.com and adobe.com. I kept trying to connect to Adobe.com, NOT acrobat.com.
Once I connect to Acrobat.com (and made an ID) it worked.
I now can connect to Acrobat.com.
However, I still am unable to see my results.
If I try to do a quiz from my local machine I am prompted with the "Post Results" button at the end. When I go to production I do not want to have this button, I would rather have the quiz automatically posted. For now, this will work for the testing phase I have working on.
When I run my quiz in IE, IE hangs when I press Post Results and put my name and password in. It never completes. I have to kill the process.
When I run the quiz from File > Preview > In Web Browser (or F12) it seems to work. I get prompted with my ID I put my info in and it says it has been posted, but I never see any results. This is similar to another post I saw here...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/766837?tstart=0
Then I saw another post that said you need to modify the flash settings on the machine where you are posting. You can do this via a URL link...
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
When I went to this link the first time I only specified the actually acrobat.com. This didn't seem to help. But them I specified the actually .swf file. This made things appear to work. I *was* able to press post, put login info in and then submit the info. This worked without having the do the preview from within Captivate. But I still do not have any data within the Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer.
If I do get some results somehow, I would still like to make the quiz such that the username and password are not prompted at the end and that the results are sent to acrobat.com automatically.

Captivate quiz results as text file

Is there a way to collect a users quiz results and simply write them to a text file on their hard drive?

Mike. This functionality doesn't currently exist in Captivate out of the box.
If you want it, you can try logging a feature request with Adobe.
Here's the official Adobe site:

Here's the unofficial one we set up ourselves:

Error when posting captivate quiz results

I would like to posting Captivate quiz results to Acrobat.com. I created an account, but when I click Post Results and log in, I get a 'Send' button option. When I select 'Send', the message 'Unknown Error' appears and the results do not get posted.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I am also still having the same problem, so it looks like this still hasn't been fixed.
Posting results worked fine but lately everyone is getting the unknown error which is embarrassing when you are pushing directors to complete this only to be told it isn't working and wasted their time.
Sort it out Adobe!

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

Captivate 5.5 Quiz results change after review

I've looked through the questions here and can't seem to find an answer/explanation for what I'm experiencing.
I've created a quiz (test) where the attempts per question are 1 failure levels set to "none" (this is acting as a final exam for a course so I want them to answer the question and move on).
When the quiz is completed I get the score and after clicking "review quiz" and going through the answers, the score changes. It always drops.
So if I complete the quiz the first time and get a score of 96%, click "review quiz" and go through each question, when I get back to the score page the score has changed to 92% or 90% and that's what's being reported back to my LMS (Inquisiq) when the quiz is closed. It seems to be reporting the correct item answers to the LMS but the overall score is being reported incorrectly.
Reporting settings are:
SCORM 2004
Send tracking data at end
Pass/Fail
Report as a percent
Quiz results only
Interactions and score
No backward movement allowed
No skip button
Only a submit button
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Rod,
I don't have any custom widgets or playbars or swfs, it's all stock. Just changed the quiz settings.
I tried Liliybiri's suggestion to remove the playbar controls. (Thank Lilybiri!) I also allowed backward movement but required answers to all questions. This gave me the back and skip buttons I needed for the review. I deleted all non-question slides so that the review is only navigating to/from question slides and this seems to be working. I've tried it myself several times and have been unable to make it happen again. I've got a couple other users testing as well.
Rod, I was also thinking that maybe this particular project had become corrupted and I should try a new one from scratch. I may test that tomorrow anyway to see if it's my quiz settings or a corrupted project. I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks to you both for your help with this today!

Adobe Captivate 5.5 - Quiz Results

I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and have the latest updates installed. I have an Internal Server configured for LMS and under the quiz reporting preferences I have "Percent" selected to report to the LMS, but when I launch the Quiz Results Analyzer and generate a report the "Percent" is not shown. If I select "Score" under the quiz reporting preferences the Quiz Results Analyzer will display the score.
How can I review the "Percent" using the Quiz Results Analyzer?
Thanks,
Tiffany

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Let me just check this at my end and I will get back to you.

Adobe captivate not reporting to quiz results analyzer

when posting results at the end of the captivate webinar it reads "unknown error." Help!

Hello,
Maybe too late but...
I'd the same problem when the quiz and the quiz results were on different servers. But since I moved the quiz results (with the .php files in the root) to the same server where the quiz is, everything is ok.

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
