Copying Quiz slides in Captivate 5

Captivate 4 had File/Import to quickly import slides from one project to another which is no longer available in Captivate 5.
I understand Captivate 5 uses Copy/Paste but it doesn't seem to want to copy the Quiz Results Slides - is this the case?
I really want to use the Select All / Copy /Paste functions and not have to manually copy/paste groups of slides and then re-insert the Quiz Results Slide in the destination project.
Thank you in advance for any tips or advice.

Hi there
I stand to be corrected on this but I think that the Quiz Results slide is one of those sort of "special" slides that is simply created by virtue of having a quiz. I've always considered these beasties were simiilar to the Mouse object. It's sort of an attribute of a project and not really a slide per se.
Cheers... Rick

Partial Scoring on Matching Quiz Slide in Captivate 8

Hi,
I tried searching for the answer to this question before posting but I only located an answer for Captivate 5.5. Is it possible to do partial scoring for a matching quiz slide in Captivate 8. If not, does someone know a workaround? It would also be helpful to me to know which questions slides allow partial scoring. I am posting my trainings on an intranet site and not an LMS so I don't have the capability to do partial scoring from the LMS.
Thanks,
Jeff

Only one type of question allows partial scoring: MCQ with multiple correct answers.
Workaround is to create a custom question slide. The score can be stored in a variable, you'll have to collect the variable. Have some blog posts about partial scoring in custom question slides, before it appeared for MCQ in Cp. Here is an example:
Widgets and Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog
I once created a custom matching question slide for a client (who never paid), using the D&D interactive widget from InfoSemantics, but that is only for SWF output. And it had partial scoring.

Add buttons to quiz-slide? Captivate 7

Hi there,
I am really having a hard time trying to add buttons to a quiz-slide (fill in the blank).
Is it really true, that there is no work-around? All I need to do, is to use the smart shapes/ image buttons, to link to other slides in the project.
Anyone??
Thanks, in advance
//Niklas

Maybe this blog post could help, because it is not always that easy to have
shape buttons on question/score slides. I encountered several small issues
and tried to figure out workarounds:

How to add an audio click box on a quiz slide - adobe captivate 6?

Hi,
I'm trying to add an audio click box on a question slide. It works brilliantly on normal slides but theres no option to add a click box on quiz slides.
I'm trying to add audio on click. So, when somebody clicks that area they will hear a sound. Is there a way to do this on a question slide?
Thanks

Replace those old click boxes by shapes configured as buttons. Have a look at this post:

Where can I find detailed instruction on how to set up Likert quiz slides in Captivate 7?

I am learning Captivate 7 and I'm stuck trying to create a series of Likert quiz slides. I can't find detailed instruction on how to set up the selections on the scale.

I would like to know how to read Likert results. Any help would be appreciated.
I have 15 comments that I need feedback from. There are three possible responses; Seldom, Sometimes, & Often. I would like to assign a point value (numeric value) to each response.
Seldom=1
Sometimes=2
Often=3
Once they have been answered , I would like to then take the total point values of only specific questions and display them. (e.g.Questions 2,4,7,9,13). Is it possible to track and assign a point value to each response. I figure once I get them into variables I can create an Advance Action to do the math. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Slide numbers and Quiz slides in Captivate 8

How do I add slide numbers to Captivate?
Also, in my course, I need to add quiz questions and then final test questions. Quiz questions are not added into the final score, but final test would be tabulated into the final course score.
How do I do this? (I noticed that with survey questions, there is not a review page to show the correct answer. Survey questions also seem to still be included in graded question score reporting.)
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Thank you

There are several system variables available. I have upgraded my list for CP8 and will publish it soon. But those you need are already in a post about CP6: System variables in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
For slide number you need cpInfoCurrentSlide, which starts with 1 (most numbering starts with 0). Insert that var in a text container, using the X button in the Style tab of the properties panel,
the Character portion.
As for the Quiz question: you can uncheck to include a score in the Quiz total. Advanced Interaction panel (F9) is a good place to check all scored objects, and to see whether they are included in the Quiz total or not. Most quizzing system variables will adapt to the situation, score and percentage, maximum possible score will not take into account the questions that are not adding their score to the total score. However some variables will include the knowledge questions: total number of questions is one of them. This means that you have probably to tweak the score slide, to create a score slide yourself. Check the same list with system variables to create a custom score slide. Maybe this blog post can help, although the subject is bit different: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog
Another approach would be pretest slides, but it has a lot of limitations: navigation will disappear, pretest slides have to be together at start of the course.

Quiz slide issues in Captivate 4

I am having functionality issues with quiz slides in Captivate 4. When taking the quiz, slides will randomly get stuck/grey out and the user has to click the back button and then go forward and the slide will then function correctly. This is not acceptable to the client, for obvious reasons. I have tried re-building the quiz slides (several times) and have also copied the entire project into a clean Captivate file. Nothing seems to make a difference and it is still completely random. I will preview the quiz over and over and sometimes it will work perfectly and then the next time it'll get stuck. This has only started occuring since I upgraded to Cp4. I have had to resort to not using Quiz slides at all and re-creating them with click boxes, but then I miss out on some of the needed functionality that the quiz slides provide (with feedback). I am pulling my hair out! Anyone else having trouble with this?

Hello all
I have been having the same issue and have spent a bunch of time with Adobe so this is what they sent me and so far my quizzes have been working and I have had no reports of any quiz's freezing up fingers crossed.
This is the latest corospondence from Adobe I have recived.. hope it helps..

1.)Separate all of the different quiz type questions into separate pools
and pull random questions from each pool.
2.)Stop using the multiple choice slides with single correct answer only
as it defeats the usability of the quiz module in Captivate
3.)Verify that video card drivers are compatible with Windows XP.
If you still think that it is the problem with Adobe Captivate then
please perform the below mentioned steps;-
1.) Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files.
Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files to eliminate problems
that a damaged preferences file might cause.
To recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files:
1. Quit Adobe Captivate.
2. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and
Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Adobe and move the "Adobe
Captivate" folder to another location (for example, the Desktop).
3. Start Adobe Captivate. Adobe Captivate creates new preferences
files.

Captivate 5 - Move to non-quiz slide sets remaining unanswered questions as skipped

I have a captivate 5 project where all of the first slides are general content prior to the quiz questions at the end.
Just before the quiz, I have a slide that summarizes all the answers. Each quiz question is given 4 attempts to
answer them correctly. If tester exceeds 4 attempts, I do a jump to the slide that is a summary (ahead of the
question slides). When the test is stepped into, it correctly keeps the questions that were answered but then
has set all questions after the jump back slide to 'skipped'.
Any way around this?
Thanx.

Continue button on the Score slide will execute the actions you specify in Quiz, Preferences for Pass/Fail. Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog has more details on functionality of question/score slides.
If you are on CP6 or later, you can add shape buttons on question/score slide: Buttons on Question/Score Slides in Captivate 6? - Captivate blog has some more details about that feature.

All Quiz Slides Automatically Changed (by captivate) when ANY change is made to a Quiz Slide

When I make a change to a quiz slide, captivate automatically adds the "Back" button (which was previously deleted) to *all* quiz slides and extends *all* quiz slide length by several seconds. This is very frustrating to have to go back to every quiz slide (which are interspersed thought the project) to remove the "back" button and correct the slide length. Thoughts anyone?

Did you read that blog post that I indicated in the other thread about questions?
Default pausing point is at 1.5 secs. If you leave the Success/Last attempt action to default 'Continue' users have to wait 1.5secs, never 3 secs.
If you want to reduce the time, you can drag the pausing point bit more to the right to decrement the non-active part (not totally till end). That is the best solution, especially if some users will have to work with restricted bandwidth. Or you use Go to Next Slide instead of Continue for the actions.

Captivate 4 Quiz Slides - Misnumbering?

Hi Everyone,
I am using Captivate 4 after recent Captivate 3 upgrade.
My quiz slides are "misnumbering." They appear fine in Editing mode (i.e. "1 out of 5"), but when I preview them - and even when I publish the project and load it to the LMS, the slides read "1 out of 35" or something like that.
To cap it off, even if the user gets the 5 questions correct, they still fail because of the misnumbering of the questions (for some reason, the system sees them as needing to complete 35 questions.)
Folks - there are only 5 questions. The slides are right in Editing mode. These are my first projects with Captivate 4 (rather than 3), and I'm both dumbfounded and unimpressed.
Any ideas????

Hi there
Likely you have Click Boxes sprinkled through the project with reporting enabled.
Tap the F9 key and the Advanced Interaction dialog should display.
Clear the check boxes and you should be golden.
Cheers... Rick

Copy and Paste Slide Hangs Captivate 5 - Solutions?

I have recently encountered a frequent but intermittent problem with Captivate 5 (perhaps after the last update from Adobe). I open two presentations, choose to copy a slide from one presentation and then paste it to the other. The progress bar shows 10% but then hangs, and it is then necessary to close Captivate with the task manager. Anyone else had this problem?

Will join others, never trusted the Windows Clipboard for images, certainly not from PPT

When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

Have you tried importing it with standard workflow instead of coyping and pasting.
Is the resolution of your powerpoint presentation and Captivate Project same, make sure it is same, else, it would rescale it to fit on the sldie, rescaling might detoriate the quality.
Thanks,

Adobe Captivate 4 Answers not appearing on quiz slide

I have quiz slides in my project with single answer multiple choice questions.
Sometimes on my slides as they are playing the letters for the choices appear but the answers do not.
I hit the right button on my mouse and refresh the page and they appear.
Please let me know if there is something I can do to assure the answers appear all the time.
Thank you,
David Gambal

As far as I am aware, deleting or replacing the Question Title or Question Text captions in quiz questions in any version of Captivate will cause issues. So don't do it.
You do not need to always choose Optional as your Preferences > Quiz Settings > Required setting. But if you choose one of the other more restrictive options this drop down offers (Required, Pass Required, Answer All) then you may run into strange issues where your quiz seems to stall for no apparent reason, especially in situations where you try to Retake Quiz or move back and forth from quiz questions to content slides. I recommend you start with Optional, and then once you have everything working perfectly, try the other settings if you really feel the need. Personally, I never seem to use them.

Quiz slides not to be counted in quiz summary at end - Captivate 4

I have created a course which has quiz slides at the beginning of the cours which I have marked to not be graded. These slides are knowledge checks and should not be graded nor be counted. Then I have quiz slides at the end of the course that I do want to be graded. But I do not want the quiz slides at the beginning of the course "counted" in the summary quiz slide at the end of the course. I only want the quiz slides at the end counted.
How can I change the settings in the quiz slides to "not" be counted in the quiz summary page at the end of the course.
Thank you for your assistance.

My best guess here as to the reason for your issue is that you've removed some of the essential objects from the Quiz Slides and that is fouling things up.
Quiz Slides MUST ALWAYS have the default Question Title and Question Text captions present. These are special caption objects that are ONLY found on quiz question slides. If you remove them or replace them with normal captions your quiz slides will malfunction inconsistently.
The other thing you may have done here by the sound of it is to set Submit All and then move the Submit All button off the slide into the scrap area. That's also likely to screw things up. If you do NOT want the user to see the Submit All button until the final quiz question slide then just change them to Transparent buttons and move them ALMOST off stage, but leave at least a few pixels of the button object still sitting over the top of the stage area. This will mean the user cannot see (and is very unlikely to click) the Submit All button except for the slide where you WANT them to see it.

Bug in Captivate 5 with duplicating quiz slides??

Hi,
I have a quiz with 100 questions. I created a formatted question slide, (custom font, etc.) and wanted to duplicate this slide so that I wouldn't have to recreate it for each quiz slide.
The client wants to have audio (Text to Speech) and Closed Captioning visible on each slide. The issue is when I go to duplicate the slide to make a new question slide, I can't change the Closed Captioning text in the duplicated slide as it's linked to the original one.
Any ideas? I really don't want to have to create these questions slides by hand each time...

Hello,
I was puzzled by your question and just tried to reproduce it but was able to change the CC-notes on the duplicate slides? Could you explain your work flow? And BTW: what is your version number? Recently a patch was released, most recent is now version 5.0.2.630
