E-Mail Quiz Results AND Score

I've selected every available option and configuration
related to quiz reporting, and nothing but the final score comes
through. We do not have an LMS, and I fear that Captivate's quiz
reporting setup is geared for folks with an LMS and leaves others
out in the cold. I need a way to report quiz scores and answers to
questions VIA E-MAIL, in the absence of an LMS to store the
results. Anything anyone could offer along these lines? Thank
you.

Or any other LMS, others are free (Sakai, etc), others are
fairly
inexpensive (Inquisiq, WBT Manager).
Or hack the javascript behind the lesson to redirect the
output to a
database instead of out to email.
But, yes, relying on the email solution alone seems
very...risky.

E-Mail Quiz results

I have set up a quiz page within my captivate movie. I have
configured the quiz options so the user can e-mail the results to
me. I have published the movie and ran it in a web browser. The
send e-mail button appears but fails to send an e-mail. I am
expecting it to open Outlook. What have I missed?

Hi there,
Any chance you can let me see the files in question. I have
used the
Send Email feature in Captivate 1.0 on many occasions and not
experienced problems.

Problems e-mailing quiz results

I'm trying to send quiz results to an e-mail address - it
does that fine at the end of the quiz, but it also sends a set of
"fail" stats on most slides, so the person taking the quiz ends up
with a stack of e-mail messages to send! I've tried different
variations of settings in Quiz Manager, I've also tried select the
actual buttons on the screens concerned and under Properties saying
that I do not want results from this screen...but I still get them.
Am I doing something really stupid, and is there an easy
answer to this?
Any help gratefully received!

I don't have an answer for you, but I am having the exact
same issue, so I am thinking if you are doing something stupid, so
am I, or MAYBE there is something wrong with Captivate2. I did this
very successfully in the previous version so I don't know what
could be causing the issue.
P.S. I just downloaded a project from the website and
converted it Captivate2 and published. Previously, it worked but
after conversion it began behaving the same way.

Storing multiple captivate quiz results, and then aggregating them without an LMS.

I have 7 lessons that make up one course. Each of this lessons has a post assessment that determines if the user can go on to the next lesson. I need to collect these lesson scores separately, and then be able to get a course score. Right now I am using user variables to pass the scores through the course to the last lesson, here they are displayed on a results slide. My issue is that I cannot seem to get these scores to aggregate. I wrote a javascript function, which runs fine when I test it alone in a single lesson. But when I aggregate the lessons into one course the javascript no longer runs. I would eventually like to get these individual scores into a database as well, but for now fixing this is a priority. Here is a copy of my javascript. It is just taking the uservariables that hold points scored and points possible and adding them together. Pretty simple, but I'm not sure why it wont run when the project is aggregated. Any help would be appreciated.
var mymovie = window.cpAPIInterface;
var $quizresults1 =+mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults1");
var $quizresults2= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults2");
var $quizresults3= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults3");
var $quizresults4= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults4");
var $quizresults5= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults5");
var $quizresults6= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults6");
var $quizresults7= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizresults7");
var $quizresultstotal = ($quizresults1 + $quizresults2+ $quizresults3 + $quizresults4 + $quizresults5 +$quizresults6 + $quizresults7 );
alert( "you scored" + $quizresultstotal);
mymovie.setVariableValue ("quizresultstotal", $quizresultstotal);
var $quizpoints1= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints1");
var $quizpoints2= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints2");
var $quizpoints3= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints3");
var $quizpoints4= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints4");
var $quizpoints5= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints5");
var $quizpoints6= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints6");
var $quizpoints7= +mymovie.getVariableValue("quizpoints7");
var $quizpointstotal= $quizpoints1 + $quizpoints2 + $quizpoints3 + $quizpoints4 + $quizpoints5 + $quizpoints6 + $quizpoints7 ;
mymovie.setVariableValue("quizpointstotal", $quizpointstotal);

Yes, I am using the aggregator tool to combine multiple lessons into one course. When I test the last lesson, which contains the javascript, by itself it runs fine and adds all the totals and replaces the variable quizresulttotals with the result.The quiz values are still stored in a cookie for testing which is what makes this possible. But once the lessons are combined to create the entire course, the javascript seems to disappear. I even have alerts built into the script at each step for testing purposes and none of them show.

E-mailing quiz results

I am having a problem getting Captivate 4 to e-mail results. I have enabled reporting, selected e-mail as reporting mechanism, put in my e-mail address, and selected e-mail as both the pass/fail option. I publish the file and test it but no e-mail is sent. I click the "Send E-mail" button and nothing happens. Once I get to the results screen and click rewind it will bring up my outlook e-mail window, but no data is in the e-mail.
Is there something that I am missing here?

Yes... You are missing seeing the hundreds of other posts reporting the same issue.
The bottom line here is that eMail reporting is unreliable at best. If it works for you, count yourself lucky. Maybe even buy yourself a lottery ticket!
You really should consider using the forum search facility to locate reports of eMail issues with Captivate. You will likely be surprised.
You may wish to report it to Adobe as a bug.

Collecting classroom quiz result and then display them on teacher screen

Hello,
I would like, at different moments of my trainings session , to collect data about what my students have understood from the subject we've just seen , in order to re discuss some points if I see that it's not well understood .
My aim would then be to :
- simply create some quizz using captivate 5 and make them available on a shared drive
- each student has a computer in the classroom and they are all connected on our intranet network
- request students to open one quizz (captivate 5 quizz project exported in flash) and answer from their computer , then at the end of the quizz they would click "submit".
- then I would be able to display each question and a summary of the collected answers (50% have choosen answer A, ...) and be able to discuss the results with them .
so I would need to be able to export the result of each user quizz to a file , and have a "teacher" tool able to collect that and display them.
In classrooms, I have no access to the Internet (so no possible connection to Adobe.com), no access to an LMS , no access to an internal server
Can adobe captivate save students results to a file (XML, PDF, whatever ...) that could be read by another tool (captivate interface ) to display results.
I hope that my explanation are clear enought for you to understand my goal. Maybe it's very easy to do that in captivate but I haven't founded how for the moment . (I'm more used to do films in acaptivate).
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks a lot in advance for any information.

Oh my god , if you could create sutch a widget you'll be my hero.
My aim is something quite simple:
# The whole classroom users would launch an html file located on a shared drive which would contain the swf produced from captivate.
They would then have in front of their eyes a question with only one correcte answer
* What is the color of the black horse ?
- red
- black
- white
They would select and click "submit" , each user answer would be save on the shared drive (same location as he .html one) in a "container" (xml, whatever...)
# On the teacher side, the teacher would load another swf file, which would display the question, then , (if click on next) would collect all data from the containers produced by the students and show a summary of the answers given by the users.
Ex:
* What is the color of the black horse ?
You have choosen :
- red 20%
- black 79%
- white 1%
The result would be anonymous (it's not needed to know who answered what ).
The best would be to have in fact two "swf " :
- a student one with all questions, each question follown by a submit button to send data to the local container
- a teacher one with all questions, each question follown by the summary of the data collected from the containers.
Like that , the question is shown , the student answers, the summary results is shown, open debate about it, revision if needed , explanation , ... Then next question , the student answers,.....and so on..
This tool (widget) would be very usefull because I suppose that I'm not the only one whishing to be able to do this kind of quick classroom survey in any environnement (the only thing needed would be to have computers on a network) . Because it happens more and more to have classrooms which have their own "intranet" not connect to any external ressources.
Thanks again for anything you may do about this .

Quiz results not appearing in email body

Using Captivate 2, I set up a quiz that is supposed to send
its results to e-mail. In the Quiz Manager, on the Reporting tab, I
have the following settings:
Enable resporting for this project (checked)
LMS: email
Report Pass or Fail: report status as defined by report data
Choose report data: report quiz results and slide views
Report score to LMS as: score
Reporting Level: report interactions and the score
Then I publish my project. When I run the .htm, no e-mail is
generated. The only way I can get an email to generate at all, is
if I click on the Pass/Fail Options tab in the Quiz Manager, and
set "If passing grade:" action: send email to: (the email address).
This does generate an e-mail, but the body is blank, with no
results reported within (even though I specifiying that I want the
data in the above settings).

I'm trying to do the same thing... having set up a small
quiz, a pass mark, and asking for an email to show the score only,
nothing is generated running it locally. But after uploading to my
server and running it from there I do in fact get an email. The
data is in an attachment POSTDATA.ATT which Windows doesn't know
how to open. But if you change the extension to csv then XL opens
it fine and reports as requested. The user is identified by the
sender of the email.

Capture Trainer in Quiz Results

We are using Presenter 6.1 and Office 2003. On our shop floor we have trainers that want to lead a trainee through a quiz and then in the Quiz results capture who the trainer was. We are capturing the trainee as that person logs into Connect to access their training and quiz. How do I capture the trainer in the quiz results and for further reporting.

Thanks for the response. I have both a pretest and posttest in this project. I have the pretest score variable set to appear in the results page so the learner can compare pretest and posttest scores. I would like the post test results to appear on the results page as well, but those are displaying as NaN.
These are my Advanced Interaction pages. Not sure what I need to change.
Pretest are slides 10-14.
This is the quiz properties for one of the pretest questions.
Posttest Slides are slides 34, 37, 40, 43, and 46. (I created feedback slides in between.)
This is quiz poperties for one of the posttest questions:
What do I need to do fix the NaN?

HELP! Lesson with 2 branches locking on Quiz Result screen when learner (of either branch) fails.

I have a CP6 lesson which is essentially two parallel branches, with only the following slides in common:
A "Welcome" slide
A slide where the learner chooses his branch
A "Congrats! You completed the test" slide
A "You did not answer the questions correctly" slide
Once the learner chooses his branch, he is given a 5-question test.   If he fails the test, he is taken to a short lesson, specific to the content tested in that branch.   When he finishes the lesson, he is taken BACK to the test to try again. If he fails, back to the lesson, then back to the test, etc. until he passes. (I set max attempts to "10" under "Quiz Preferences")   When he passes, he is taken to the "Congrats" slide and the lesson ends.
I set the last question in each branch to go to the Quiz Results slide (success or fail), and I set the Quiz Preferences to jump to the "Congrats" slide if passing, and to the "You did not answer the questions correctly" slide if learner fails.
That's how it's supposed to work anyway. And that's how it WAS working until I made a change somewhere and mucked it all up.
What is happening instead is:
Passing test (both branches) takes learner to Quiz Results and the "Congrats" slide just fine.
Failing test (either branch) takes learner to Quiz Results and then gets stuck there.    (In fact, if I click the "Continue" button a second time on the QR slide, the lesson still doesn't advance but all the graphics I put on that slide disappear, which is weird and not at all helpful.)
The branching looks ok to me.   What am I missing?
I know I need to upgrade, and we will be soon, but not before this lesson has to be published -- which is, of course, yesterday.
Help? Anyone?

Figured it out. Had "Required" on the "Quiz: Settings" page set to "Pass Required - The user must pass the quiz to continue". That kept the learner from continuing beyond the "Quiz Results" slide and looping back to the didactic content and retaking the quiz.
I changed "Required" to "Required - The user must take the quiz to continue."   Learner is able to loop back/read/retest as many times as needed in order to pass the quiz. All is well.

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:

Send quiz results for users without Internet access

We have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. I have created an eLearning course in C4 with a quiz at the end. For most users, they take the course through our LMS and we can report results without a problem. However, we have a group of developers in India who do not have internet access. Is there a way to capture name and quiz results and send them via email? Alternatively, we can open up a port to access Connect, but I still need to report name and quiz results.
Thank you,
FG

Hello,
Are those users connected in a network? If yes, with the version of Captivate 5 (will be available shortly) it will be possible to have the results send and stored on a server.

Printing Quiz Results

Hi, I have a course that runs well on our LMS, but I have
some users who have no connectivity and requested a CD version of
my course. I easily created the menu and attached the individual
lessons as exe files. When I got to the quiz, my boss asked me to
have the students print out the quiz results and send them to our
administrator. Since Captivate 3 won't let you add a button to the
results page, I created a flash button and added the animation to
the results page to try to get a print of the page. So far in the
flash button I've tried the: getURL("javascript:window.print();");
approach and the: printAsBitmapNum(_parent, "bmax"); approach.
These will bring up the windows print dialog and proceed to print a
large version of the button on two pages. I've run out of ideas,
does anyone know how to get around this Captivate limitation?
Dale

Dale,
Check this site
It contains lots of widgets for Captivate, one being the
inclusion of a print icon in the playbar to allow this sort of
thing.

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.

No Quiz Results in E-mail

Hello,
I created a quiz, and set the results to be e-mailed. When I
tested it with F4, the quiz results showed up in the e-mail. But,
when I publish it and upload the files, the send e-mail button
initiates an e-mail to the correct address, but there are no
results in the e-mail. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

CP5: Scoring and Quiz Result Slides for Selected Questions

Hello World,
I am trying to create a course that has several "knowledge checks" that don't need to be scored or tracked, and then a 10 question quiz at the end that needs to be scored and tracked.
Does anyone know of a way to separate those two elements so that the Quiz Results slide does not include any of my "knowledge check" data and just gives the user details of the 10 question quiz? I would also like to use the progress bar, but only for the final 10 questions.
Alternatively, if the quiz result screen separated out the results of the knowledge checks from the quiz, that would work as well.
Thanks,
Graham

Hello,
If you use the Question slides that come with Captivate, all the slides will be added to the total score because you can only have one Quiz in a CP-file.
Some ideas: you could set the score of the first (not te be tracked) slides to 0, or if possible change the questions from scored to survey (will not be scored).
If by Progress you mean the indication 'Question X of Y', there you will need to make your own counters, with user variables and advanced actions. If you want to have total control of your question slides you could create the first bunch of questions yourself and only use the default Question slides for the real last Quiz. Just published a blog post today with some links to articles about customizing Quizzes. Feel free to check it:
