Editing a Quiz Slide

Please help
I am working on a project that was created by someone else. I
am trying to look into why a drop-down is not working on a quiz
slide. I can not figure out how to edit this quiz slide. I am
working in Captivate 3.

Hi RDCBLANK
To edit quiz slides, you normally click the button you find
in the Stage toolbar. Look on the left side of the application
between where you see the quiz slide and the Timeline.
Hopefully this was helpful to you... Rick

  • Quiz slides - editing button actions

    All,
    I have a Captivate 3 project with various quiz slides
    throughout that act as section reviews. I was able to have the
    submit button send users back to a ToC slide; however, I want the
    same to happen when they click "Next" on the quiz slides (if they
    just want to skip the review). Is there any way to edit individual
    button actions on quiz slides?
    Andy

    FYI - Captivate REALLY hates jumping around where scored
    quizzes are concerned... it seems to expect each project to contain
    a single scored quiz and it expects the user to complete that quiz
    linearly. The "Allow backwards movement" option in the Quiz
    preferences may allow things to work as expected, but I doubt the
    user will be able to "retake" a section once it's been completed.
    Captivate doesn't seem to like that, either.
    If you continue to have problems jumping back to your TOC,
    try breaking everything into individual projects and have your
    links open the appropriate project to create your lesson flows.
    Captivate has no problem randomly jumping between projects,
    and doing so will also allow users to retake a section if desired.
    PS - Since you've created your own TOC, I'm guessing you're
    not reporting user results to an Learning Management System of some
    sort. The "link between projects" approach is typically not an
    option in an LMS environment since the LMS usually needs to launch
    all files itself in order to create the necessary results reporting
    interface.

  • Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server

    version 4.0
    Output - swf\htm
    Hello
    Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
    Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
    So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
    thanks in advance
    ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
    Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks
    Message was edited by: marktko

    thanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
    I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
    Mystery solved - thanks again !

  • Added help button to quiz slide

    I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
    like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
    All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    -Mark

    Hi Mark
    I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
    Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
    your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
    Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
    pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
    just moving on.
    Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
    so all you end up with is the .SWF.
    Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
    slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
    .SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
    on a Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Quiz Slides inserted into other slides??

    Is it possible to insert a quiz slide into another slide with content on it?  I have a short story in a series of about 11 slides, and would like the user to be able to answer some questions pertaining to the paruticular slides as they unfold.  Is it possible to manipulate a multiple choice question that is inserted in another slide, and/or can the question even be inserted into a story slide?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sabrina
    Accept my apologies for this late answer, last week has been very hectic. I will try to make it up, will send you a link to the example slide I did create if this is really what your wanted. You'll find a screenshot.
    I create a slide with a duration of 10secs. The drawing I created (SimpleDiagrams) is visible for the duration of the slide.
    To the slide an audio is attached (it is music here, but you will have a narration, that has a timeline of 7secs. After those 7secs, the question appears (see timeline screenshot). It has 4 Text captions:
    Question itself (How many men...), labeled it Quest1
    3. 4. The three possible answers, labeled Ans1_1, Ans1_2 and Ans1_3
    The answers are covered with 3 click boxes, CB1_1, CB1_2 and CB1_3. They do only have a Success Caption, deleted Failure as well as Hint Caption. The caption gives the feedback to the user (on the screenshot I show the feedback for the correct answer). All captions are in the same location, have same size. To each caption I attached the appropriate object audio. It will play when the caption appears.
    Finally I have a 'Next' button, that is initially set to invisible in the Properties, but will become visible when the correct answer has been chosen. You have to make sure that the pausing time of this button is after the pausing time of the click boxes. I labeled this button BtNext1
    I created 2 standard advanced actions, really simple ones:
    rewind to be attached to all click boxes that sit on top of incorrect answers; they will rewind the playhead so that it will not continue when the click box is clicked (which is the default behavior); since there is nothing specific to the slide object ID's, this can be reused on all question slides; action has one statement:
    Assign   rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume with rdinfoCurrentFrame
    success to be attached to the click box on top of the correct answer (here CB1_2); it doesn't have to rewind the playhead, but will show the button that pauses the slide again (a little bit later on the timeline because the pausing time is later than for the click boxes);  this action has a slide specific object ID (the label of the button), so you will have to duplicate it to have an instance for each slide, and change the button identification (label); to make editing easier I chose this typical label, you will only have to change the last character if you label your buttons with this logical names; this action has only one statement as well:
    Show  BtNext1

  • Quiz slides

    Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble using the quiz slides.
    For example, I've tried a very simple Yes/No slide and it
    appears in edit mode with 'Correct, click anywhere to continue',
    'Incorrect...', 'You must answer the question..." and a review
    area.
    Despite fiddling with these boxes, I'm still unsure what to
    do.
    Any help?

  • 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

  • Forced Navigation for Quiz Slide

    Hi
    I am working already developed course which is having few quiz slide (multiple choice and matching lines). The course was developed with standerd captivate output with default Player bar. Now client wants to add forced navigation to these quiz slide.
    My question is; can we handel visibility of default 'Play bar' according to the requiremnt of slide? if not, than please suggets  the way to implemet the forced navigation for quiz screen.
    Thanks
    Pankaj Srivastava

    Keep the default player bar hidden in the quiz as mentioned in my earlier post. Don't bother about enabling that after every right answer.
    In the Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Settings, select Answer All - The user must answer every question to continue from the Required drop down list. Once the user answers a question right, he can click anywhere on the screen to continue (as mentioned by the default feedback).
    When the user returns to the quiz, he can click the Next button to go through the quiz.

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

  • How do I add interactive objects to a quiz slide?

    Hello, I'm having a Captivate 5 problem and can't seem to find an answer on the web or in the forums.  I'm creating a quiz in which I'd like to ask multiple choice questions.  For each answer option I'd like the user to be able to click on something - the answer text, an additional image, something - that would open a web page in a separate browser tab or window.  That new window would contain information related to the linked answer option.  This way the users can assess the relevance of each option in relation to the question.
    I've tried using the "Advanced Answer Option" option but that only opens a window when the answer is submitted.  Before I sat down to do this I was thinking I'd just add image buttons on the page, but it turns out that I can't add buttons, text inputs and several other options in a quiz slide.
    If anyone has any ideas on how to work around this I'd really appreciate hearing them.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Hi Steve, thanks so much for the quick reply! 
    The Button Widget does the job admirably, I can add it in and even make it invisible with the alpha setting so it appears that an image is the actual link.  Totally lets me do what I wished!
    Thanks again!

  • User cannot Click Anywhere to Continue on some quiz slides

    In Captivate 4, on some quiz slides, after the correct answer has been submitted, the user must click on the "click anywhere to continue" box in order to move ahead. This happens only on some quiz slides. Others, the user really can click anywhere. And, this doesn't happen all the time on every computer. It usually happens on the same slides but not always. It happens in Explorer and Firefox and occasionally Chrome, but not as often. Haven't encountered the problem using Safari, yet, but have tested it.
    I reported it through the report bug link in case it is a bug. All of the slides have the same setting, so I don't know why it's happening on some slides and not others.

    Hi there
    Thanks for reporting as a bug. I might suggest that as a work around, you change the captions to read "Click here to continue". At least it would guide the user to the right and expected outcome.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

    Hi,
    None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
    I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
    Is this possible?
    If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
    I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
    cheers

    Hi there
    Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)

  • Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
    I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
    Many thanks,
    Ross

    You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.

  • Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

    Hi,
    I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool.  The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens.  You can't get off the quiz slide.  The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
    Thanks!
      Lori

    I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
    Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
    Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
    For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
    I can finally finish this project.
    Good luck.

  • Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

    I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
    I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
    I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
    Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
    Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
    However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.
