Create a branching quiz

How do you create a branching quiz using the quiz slides?
I tried to use variables (e.g. userChoice, totalScore). I added action to assign userChoice to a number based on the choice. Then I executed adavanced actions in quiz propertiies with if the right answer is chosen, jump to a different slide + add 1 to the totalScore. else, it goes to a different quiz slide.
It is stuck in the slide without advancing to the right slide.
Any reason why it does not work?
Thanks,

Lilybiri, Thank you for the quick response. I put the screen capture while reading your blog now. This is the first time I'm trying to use quiz in Captivate so I'm not familiar with some of the terms.
> But I'm wondering if you are using default Question slides or custom question slides, because you talk about storing in user varaibles. Could you try to explain exactly what you are using and what you want to achieve, more specifically if you want to report the score to a LMS or not?
I'm trying to create is a template for soft skill simulations. Maybe a video playback of a situation and ask the learn what to do next. The user clicks on a choice. It provides feedback (or not) and goes to a slide based on the user choice. I would evaluate using the variable totalScore and choice user made in each step. At the end, I would pass that data to Lectora.
I inserted a question slide, edited, and duplicated for multiple questions as different steps for the simulation. The Quiz result page is at the end. Does that count as within quiz scope?
> The screenshot of the action popped up while I was answering. What is the action Else:
I have it jump to slide of a different slide for the less favorable choices.
Thanks for the info on cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice. I just tried but this system variable is not on the list in the pull-down menu. It only has: cpComndShowPlaybar, cpCmndMute, cpLockTOC, and user variables.

Multi-language branching quiz

Hello All,
I'm trying to streamline a 2 language project by having a
branching quiz (1 branch English, 1 branch French). I have the
question pools and questions set up no problem but I'm wondering
how/if I can have two separate "Results" slides (1 for each
branch).
At the end of the day I can always just build 2 separate
projects and link them but that seems a bit kludgey to me.
Any help is appreciated.

Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

Creating CVS Branches in JDeveloper 10.1.3

Hi all:
How can I create a new CVS Branch using JDeveloper 10.1.3?
Thanks for any help.
Juan Fernando Higuita.

Right now there is no built in function for creating a branch - you'll need to do it from outside JDeveloper. (or add the command line as "external tool" to JDeveloper).

Creating a Math-Quiz

Hi,
i've got some problems creating a math-quiz in Captivate 4. I think that the advanced users can help me.
My project thesis is to create a complex math quiz with captivate (arguments) where I should take some parts out and give the students some possible answers (quiz with automatic rating and scorm results). It should be done with drag & drop if it is possible.
I've tried it with the matching question type but there are some things that annoy: I've cleared the numeration in the xml, that was no problem. How can I clear the matching line between the right answer and the question when playing the preview (example pic)? And how can I clear the old numeration out of the little square in the question and fill in there the choosen possibility? Is there any possibility to change the source code of this question type or do you have any other idea how i can do this better? The next problem is that I have to work with images because of the complex formulas.
I've seen the widget question type JumbledWordQuestion: is there something like this where I can load images in and then choose the right answer in the option frame?
Thanks.
Regards,
Max

Did you try MathMagic? It is included with Captivate, but the resulting formulas will be images.

How to Create multiple Branches

Hi
I want to create multiple Branches 5no's. How to do it.
Then whether it is possible to create seperate bp's , employee's for Branches..in one Company Database Itself..
Finally i want to track all my Profit/Loss and Balance Sheets by branches levels.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You can configure B1 with multiple branches. Use ware house to each branch.
Use segmentation account and define the COA as user COA instead standard COA template.
You will able to see the P&L segmentation wise branchwise, and consolidated.
Hope this will help you.
Pl. revert back for further clarifications.

Create a simple quiz for Muse?

I've discovered how to create a simple quiz with Flash and import this into Muse. It works well enough, although I need to recolour the stage (background) of .swf when on my Muse page.
The quiz has multiple choice radio button, a timer, a running and final total. Works fine as an interactive Flash file, put I know it will have limitations.
If I want to create an alternate layout for tablet, I suppose the .swf won't play in iOS. I've used the CreateJS toolbox within Flash, but the result when Published (in Flash) plays in the browser immediately from the first to last frame, even though there is a stop on frame 1. Also, I wouldn't know how to import this code into Muse. I've tried opening the .js file in Dreamweaver and copying and pasting the code into Muse, but this just copies the text and has no functionality.
I've also considered Adobe Captivate as a means to creating a simple e-Learning site.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jerry

Hey Jerry,
Adobe Captivate isn't offered on the current version cloud (I hope it will be soon though)
I am also searching for a way to make a quiz and place it on a muse website.
I am thinking about using the form functionality to create a simple test. Also maybe creating a something in edge.

CcBPM - When we need to create Deadline branch?

Dear All.
       Reffering to ccBPM - When we need to create Deadline branch? Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Yinglak

Hi,
Deadlines are used to end the corresponding open steps and proceed with either triggering an alert, throwing an exception or just continuing to the next step, depending on your needs. You define the maximum time given to a specific step to be executed in your process by using deadlines.
From SAP Help:
A deadline specifies the last point in time that the block can be executed. You can define a deadline as follows:
●      The point in time when the step or process is generated
●      An arbitrary point in time that you specify as an expression
You define how you want the process to react if the deadline is exceeded in a separate branch. In this branch you can trigger an alert for Alert Management by using a control step, for example. The branch has read and write-to access to all data within the block.
To define a deadline, call the context menu for that particular block.
The system checks the deadline at runtime. If the deadline has been exceeded, the processing branch is executed for the deadline. The steps in the remaining processing branches in the block are not affected by this. In particular, note that these steps within a block are not automatically completed.
You can find more information here:

Complex branching quiz help

I have a request to do a quiz where the incorrect responses
provide specific, different feedback. From what I've seen in
Captivate quizzes I can do a retry, but cannot connect the 1st and
2nd incorrect feedback to a specific choice. ex: choose B get
feedback 1, choose C get feedback 2. As an alternative, I can go
the way of creating branching scenario with slides that provide the
specific feedback, but I cannot figure out how to get the scoring
to work where they only get credit if the correct answer is
selected as a first choice - AND how do I get a results page that
shows the final grading which pops in automatically with Quiz,
Question slides. is this just too complex for Captivate? ARGH!
Using version 3.
I now this is a lot to ask on a forum, and thanks to all who
know more than me. I appreciate your help.
Donna

For Multiple Choice questions, you can add feedback that is
specific to the answer chosen (I don't think you can do this with
any other question type). This might get you a good distance into
your solution. Create a multiple choice question and for each
answer you type in, click on the Advanced... button under the Add
and Delete buttons. Check the Advanced Answer Options box at the
top and the Show Feedback Message box at the bottom. This will add
a text field to your slide for each answer you do this with. You
can edit each of those fields with the specific feedback for that
answer.
I haven't been able to do this in such a way that you are
able to make more than one attempt, though. Once you pick the wrong
answer and get the feedback as to why that answer is wrong, the
next thing you click moves you on to the next slide. We've gotten
around that by making multiple copies of the question slide. Kind
of a pain.
I don't know the answer to your results page question if
choosing "Show score at end of quiz" in the settings in Preferences
didn't work.
Sorry I can't be more help than that.

Branching quiz

I am trying to create a course that has two versions of a
short quiz, one in English and one in Finnish. Unfortunately, I
can't seem to get the settings right so that the learner can choose
which quiz to take and so that the score for the quiz that the
learner took is displayed.
In the slide before the quiz (slide 6), I have inserted two
buttons, one for each language. I have set the Finnish button
properties so that when the button is clicked, the learner is taken
to slide 7 (the first of the three questions in Finnish). I have
set the English button properties so that when the button is
clicked, the learner is taken to slide 10 (the first of the three
questions in English).
On the third and last Finnish question slide (#9), I clicked
on "Edit Question" and on the "options" tab set it so that the
learner would jump to slide 13 (the quiz results page) when
successfully answering or incorrectly answering (though I've also
checked the "show retry message" box so that the learner has 4
chances to get the correct answer). When the learner submits their
answer to the question on slide 9, however, they are led to slide
10 (the first of the English version of the quiz) and not their
results.
Also, when the learner clicks on the English button, nothing
happens (i.e. they are not taken to slide 10).
The quiz results page shows a score for a 6 question quiz,
not a 3 question quiz.
Can someone help me?
Art

Hi Art,
Have you thought of breaking up your single Captivate project
into 3 smaller and simpler projects?
Project one could be a simple slide with 2 buttons, button
one in English and button two in Finnish. Clicking button one takes
the user to the English quiz, button two takes the user to the
Finnish quiz.
Just a thought, this might not be a suitable option in an LMS
system. I'd have to think about it a bit and right now I have a
meeting to go to.
Cheers,
TPK

Branching Quiz: Review Quiz shows ALL questions and MaxScore includes too many scores

I'm using Captivate 6 (trial version) and I am testing out the branching capability following this tutorial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_Ja8vlZQw). The branching is working, but if I get to the end of my quiz and then select 'Review Quiz', it shows ALL the slides, including the ones that should NOT show up because the user selected options that didn't trigger them.
Also, it looks like the Maximum Score on the results slide includes the scores the user could get on slides they never see because of the branching :(.

It has been a while since I tested this, but it did work for me. I suppose you are using version 6.0.1.240? Because I had some issues before the patch. I will check again if you confirm the version. And you are sure to have checked Branch aware in Quiz Preferences?

Creating default branches for multiple projects: A_MAIN, B_MAIN...

I'm trying to figure out how to minimize my pain and get started
using SCM under JDev for a multi-project development.
Will it be advantagous to create a PROJ_MAIN branch for each
project? COMMON_MAIN, AP_MAIN, GL_MAIN ...
Then the src for each project is not co-mingled so to speak..
Any thoughts?
curt

Curt,
Certainly this is a good approach. You have probably found that the latest(main) rule provides too many files. By restricting code to, what we call, integration branches, the code is more clearly divided into product areas.
The JDev WA wizard allows the creation of a workarea based on the latest on a branch, however, from memory this adds the latest(main) rule to the latest(new_branch) rule for the JDev private WA. This again could download more files than required. A better approach is to create a JDev workarea based on a shared workarea (the second choice when creating a JDev WA). This shared workarea is created in the RON or commandline tool. Just give access to one other user or PUBLIC and the workarea becomes shared and available in the JDev WA wizard.
Taking this one step further, we usually create a configuration, base the WA on this and then share the WA. This provides a nice baseline for development.
regards,
David

How to create a flash quiz based on circling the correct answer?

Hi all,
I am quite new to actionscripting and need to create a flash based quiz.
The user will have to circle the correct answer in the quiz.
I do know of drag and drop function but didn't know how to create circling function.
Please advise how should I get started.
Thank you in advance.

Create Multiple Branching options

Hello All,
I am a new user. I am not able to determine how I would
record a session where there are multiple correct actions. I am
creating a demo on a PeopleSoft application. I want users to know
that they can access different pages from the main headings, the
side headings or the drop down and each option is correct. Can I
achieve this by taking particular action while recording?
Thanks in advance

Hello CBE,
If you want to show multiple ways to navigate correctly, you
would need to record it one way, then in editing go back to that
screen and add the other 2 correct possibilities (clickboxes).
There really isn't a way to add multiple correct actions on the fly
while recording.
But that is not really branching
Lets say you get to that fork in the road, where a user
could use multiple ways to move on to the correct item maybe by
different paths which would require different screens (all roads
leading to rome).
Record all three into the same file (or multiple files if you
like) then use your fork in the road to point to the slide where
the path would be different, and by your description all come back
to one. That is simple branching.
Hope that helps,
TM

Branching quiz based on unanswered questions

I'm using Captivate 5.5 to design an awareness module that contains 2 short knowledge checks at key points in the module (around 5-6 questions for each). The knowledge checks aren't compulsory and learners can move freely backwards and forwards through the module, and therefore can skip questions.
We want to encourage them to answer all the questions (but not force them to if they don't want to). I've thought of branching the module at the end, with uncompleted questions branching to a reminder slide, and all questions completed going to a summary of the module.
The way I've tried to do this is to use an Advanced Action with the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to trigger the branching. This works okay if the learner doesn't move backwards. Once they go backwards past a question they haven't answered yet it will be counted as unanswered a second time. This means that there is no way they can ever get the variable to 0 and then move to the summary slide.
Is there any way to use the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to get it counting the unanswered questions correctly?
The other way I had thought of doing it was to add another variable that changes when the branching/reminder slide is visited the first time, and having the Advanced Action check the variable to see if the slide has been visited before and if it has then it forces the slide to be skipped. This would assume that the learner went back and found and answered all the questions they missed or decided not to answer them all.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Creating a Final Quiz - Reporting

I'm new to captivate. I have a 4-question Final Assessment. At the end of the fourth quesiton, the participant is prompted to click on the 'sumit' score. The score is emailed to me. When I open the email, the data looks like:
Core Data
"Status","Location","Raw Score","Max Score","Min Score","Time"
"passed","5","100","100","0","00:02:02"
Is there a way, in Captivate 4, for the final assessment data to be formatted so it can be read easily? Either in the body of an email, or linked to an excel spreadsheet. For example:
Participant Name: Name appears here
Course Name: Course Name Here
Date Submitted: Date Here
Final Score: Score % Here

As Lilibiri noted, the email reporting functionality is pretty limited. CP4 is really designed to reside in an LMS, if you need any real reporting.
Still, there are some options. I've developed a way to manage it with PHP + MySQL:
http://wheatblog.com/2009/04/adobe-captivate-4-storing-quiz-scores-with-phpmysql/
The above also contains a link to a way to handle it with ColdFusion + Microsoft Access:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/store_cpresults_print.html
Here's another developer's method for getting the data into JavaScript:
http://pipwerks.com/2008/09/07/send-captivate-quiz-data-to-javascript/
There's also some software out there, which I've tested (can't remember the name of it at the moment), which will parse those cryptic emails into useful data which can be exported to Excel.
I'm working on expanding my solution, which currently is you only need a final score (i.e. it doesn't report the details of each interaction, just an aggregate for the entire quiz).
