Infinite Attempts on a slide

I developed an interactive activity with the assumption of Infinite Attempts (like you can set on a button). The activity has the user select 6 questions from the available 8. My plan was to “count” the number times the slide was “attempted” and when they accessed the slide a 7th time, an Execute Advance Action would “jump” to the end of the activity. Is there a way I can create this in Captivate?

I'm sorry it still sounds vague. I'm adding in screen shots to help explain my conundrum.
When the user begins the activity, they begin at the Potential Question slide (shown below) where he/she selects a question (which is a button):
After they've selected a question, they go to an answer slide. For the screen shots, I clicked on Question 2 and it moved me to the response to question 2.
After they see the response, they go back to the Potential Question slide to select another question. They repeat this process until they have selected 6 questions.
On the 7th return to the Potential Question slide, I'd like the activity to "jump" to the final closing slide rather than return to the Potential Question slide.
Does this help explain what I am attempting to build? Thank you!

  • Move forward even on incorrect answer with infinite attempts?

    Hello,
    I want to use captivate for a summative assessment where students can have inifinite attempts at each question and are able to move backwards and forwards through the quiz. From what I can see at the moment when I set the question level attempts to infinite the slide never progresses until they get the answer correct. I want them to be able to change their answer but move forward on submit even if their answer is incorrect? At the moment I can't seem to see a way of doing this? Is my only option to use custom slides?
    Thanks.

    You are correct that if you set infinite attempts on a question then Captivate will assume you wanted the student to remain on that question until they got it correct. 
    Developers often find it difficult to understand how Captivate's quiz questions work. There are many ways you can configure the question options.  In fact there are good reasons for seemingly bizarre behaviours, but those reasons are often masked by the way your settings are configured.
    As a sample: Once the participant submits an answer for a quiz slide (correct or incorrect) and then progresses to another slide, their answer for that slide is locked in.  If you have multiple attempts on that question allowed, AND you have backward movement allowed, THEN your participant can move back to the previous question and reattempt it, but if you don't have the Retry caption or Failure levels turned on, Captivate will then only appear to allow them to submit a correct answer. 
    If you want the user to be able to move forward even if their answer is incorrect, just enable the SKIP button on the question slide.  The user can then opt to click this button to move to the next question.

  • Button set to infinite attempts only works one time

    I have a project that includes branching into five topic areas. There is a "menu" type page with five buttons on it. Each button is set to allow infinite attempts. Each button is set to "jump to" different slides within the project. When the user finishes reviewing that branch, they return to this menu page and can either select another button to jump to another slide, or they should be able to go back in and review the same area again. However, the button they just clicked will no longer work.
    In my troubleshooting, I have tried using Click Box and Transparent button types. I have tried both with and without the "Include in quiz" setting. I have tried changing "infinite" attempts to "100" attempts. Nothing seems to allow the user to execute the action on that button a second time. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I tried to simulate this with a small project which seems to be working fine for me.I am attaching the project using acrobat.com.

  • Quiz Scoring with infinite attempts

    Goal: When the user selects the wrong answer I want them to be able to continue to select answers until they select the correct answer BUT are graded "incorrect" for the score on that slide for picking the wrong answer first. I thought there was a way to do this but cannot find it. Suggestions.....

    Sorry, i wasn't very clear on why I'm looking to do this. I'm actually looking to do it in an assessment rather than a quiz. What I'd like to happen is this:
    -learner is given instructions and they need to click on an area of the screen.
    -the first time they click on the wrong area of the screen, a caption appears giving them a hint (i'm not using the built-in hints in captivate, i've built something else that accomplishes this)
    -the second time they click on the wrong area, a point is deducted from their score, and a caption appears telling them where they should've clicked. right now, i have this set up in captivate with a failure caption. i want the user to be forced to click the right area before they can progress in the assessment (hence the infinite attempts), but i want that second attempt to be scored.
    thoughts on how to do this?? any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Quiz: Store the best percentage when having infinite attempts

    Dear all,
    Description:
    In my project there are six question slides, including the result slide at the end. Users must reach 80% correct answers, but have infinite attempts to reach this percentage.
    On the Result slide, Retake button is enabled, while Review button is disabled.
    Is users once reach the 80%, they still can return to the quiz.
    Challenge:
    If users revisit the quiz again after they have reached the required minimum percentage of 80%, the quiz result is overwritten, e.g. their score is set back to 0% if they skip all quiz questions.
    Question:
    Is there a way to display the best quiz percentage out of several attempts?
    Any advanced action solution?
    Kind regards,
    NQ

    No, that is by design! Once the user passed the quiz, attempts are considered finished. Are you using a LMS? With LMS-functionality, best score can be kept, but user will have to restart the project.
    There is no way to change quizzing system variables, they are read-only. With the default question slides you don't have much control at all.

  • Allow infinite attempts isn't working

    I'm using Captivate 8. The image buttons that I created (I have all of the up/down/over versions saved in the right folder) are all set to allow infinite attempts. When I preview or publish the course, though, each button will only work once! For example, on the first slide, I can pause and play one time each; if I continue to click either button nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    You misunderstand 'Infinite Attempts'. I'm missing just what I wanted to see in your screenshot: what are the actions? If you trigger a simple action, it will be executed but at the same time the playhead will be released. That has always been the design. To avoid releasing the playhead, you need to replace the simple by a standard advanced action (can have one statement).
    Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
    I wanted to give you this information, because I suspect you do not understand the behavior of interactive objects.Moreover your buttons do not have a pausing point. If nobody clicks any button, the playhead will automatically continue, and when reaching the end of the slide, go to the next slide. I don't see any utility in having a Next button without a pausing point. Apparently you deleted it, because buttons normally have a pausing point at 1.5secs. Check the Timing panel.

  • IDVD encoding errors when attempting to burn slide show to DVD.

    iDVD fails to burn disk and fails with encoding error.  Have attempted to use best, good, and professional modes of encoding to no avail.

    Hi Patrick,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I see you're a new member. Hope you're enjoying your new Mac Pro. What are you trying to burn to exactly?  I use Verbatim Dvd-R with excellent results. If you are using a higher quality media like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden but to no avail then I need to ask if you have first tried making a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then playing back said image with apple's dvd player app (prior to burning to Dvd-R).
    This approach helps us narrow down the issue so we can better assist you.

  • Incorrect Answers freeze assessment

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 2 and I have a log in simulation where
    the participant must enter a name, a password and then click login.
    On the next screen they need to click a continue button. Very
    simple.
    If they answer correctly they can complete the assessment. If
    they enter the incorrect name or password the assessment stops on
    the last screen and will not move forward - the continue button is
    acting as if its disabled. There appears to the learner that there
    is no way out of the assessment, and that the assessment has
    "crashed".
    Are there any settiongs that could be causing this behaviour?
    SCORM is required, currently set to: Report: Pass/Fail,
    Report quiz results only, reposrt score as percentage, report only
    the score.
    Quiz Settings tab
    Quiz: Pass required
    Setting: only Show score at end is turned on
    Pass Fail optoins:
    Pass set to 90%
    Passing grade is continue.
    Failing grade is infinite attempts, jump to slide 1
    Regrdas,

  • Slide views only to be reported, but grade is reporting to lms as 0 instead of n/a

    My client has a number of quiz questions throughout their course. They asked that the quiz be set up to allow infinite attempts until the learner gets the answer right, and that there are no points or grade associated with the quiz. I've set up each question as a quiz question, but set the grade to be 0. I did it as a quiz question as there are matching type questions, multiple choice, etc. and I found it valuable to have the structure in place to add in the content. The reporting preferences are set up as to report back slide views only, but when this file communicates with the LMS, it is reporting back a pass/complete but giving a grade of 0. I'd like it to show up as n/a under the grade rather than 0.
    Also, this course isn't booking marking and learners aren't happy because when they go back in their answers aren't saving. As well, the client wanted backward movement to be allowed but when the learner clicks the back button to go back through the slides, it automatically resets the question slides and they have to re-answer them to continue. Is there a way to change a setting so that the answers will stay in place?
    And my last question (promise, sorry for so many) under the quiz settings and then required there are 4 options. I'm just wondering if anyone can explain these 4 options and what each do, so that I can make sure I'm selecting the best one. Up until now it's been a trial/error type of thing, but it would be great if anyone can share some additional info.

    Thanks so much! I'm the only one working in Captivate, and so I can't even tell you how helpful it is to have replies and people that understand what I'm asking.

  • Audio on last slide after quiz questions not playing

    Captivate v5.5
    I have a project with a question pool and a series of random questions
    The random question slides are without audio.
    After finishing the question pool the project closes with the final slide which does have some audio - which runs fine when I test the slide.
    However when I test the whole project (F12) the audio on the last slide does not play.
    The audio on the slides prior to the random question slides plays without any problem.
    Any ideas please?
    Noel

    Anjaneai,
    Thanks for the suggestion. But changing the question setting to infinite attempts will just allow the user to retry each question over and over until they get it correct. I want to give them one chance to answer each question for the entire quiz. Then, if they don't pass, they can try the entire quiz again.
    I ended up finding a resolution, though. Based on one of the suggestions from this blog, I just shortened my slide time for each question to .5 sec (it was originally 3 sec). That seemed to do the trick!

  • CP4: slide stuck if user skips the quiz

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone could shed some light on where I'm going wrong here. I've got a CP4 project with some instructional slides at the beginning followed by few question slides.
    Although these question slides are the "graded" type, I wanted to give the user the ability to retry the questions as much as they like, because they are to be a practice of what they've learnt rather than assess.  To achieve this I've set each question slide with "inifinite attempts" option, also set infinite attempts for the quiz preference - "if failing grade" option - so that the learner can revisit the information slides and retry the questions.  I've also set the quiz requirement setting as "Optional - the user can skip this quiz" so that users can just browse through the questions without trying them. The "show score at end of quiz" option is disabled (screenshot) because I don't want to show a score as these questions aren't suppose to be assessed.
    After the question slides I've got an information slide (let's call it slide 'F1') with just "back" and "next" buttons.  The back button goes to the previous question slide and the "Next" button is set to go to the next (let's call it the 'Final slide') slide, which also has a back button.  Simples....well that's what I thought.
    When testing this project in action, I noticed a small navigation issue.  If I skip through all the questions (by pressing the Skip button) and get to slide F1, the next button takes me through to the final slide on the first attempt.  Then I clicked the "Back" button on the final slide to come back to slide F1, and now when I click on the next button on slide A1.... the next button is not working. I can't get back to the final slide!
    This doesn't happen if the user actually tries the questions.  Even if they get all the questions wrong (or correct) this issue doesn't happen. It only happens if the user skips all the questions.
    It does sound like something I've got wrong on quiz preferences, but I can't figure out what because I've got the "Optional - the user can skip this quiz" option selected.  I even created a whole new sample project from scratch (with standard buttons, question slides, etc) yet this issue is still happening.  I also tried the preview mode, publishing with LMS reporting (SCORM 2004 and SCORM 1.2), publishing without reporting, etc, but the issue is stilll there.
    Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong here - will be much appreciated. Also let me know if it'll help having a look at the sample project with this issue.  I'll arrange some way to send the project to you.
    Many thanks

    Hi RodWard,
    Thanks for your reply
    The main reason why I didn't go for the survey type questions, because I wanted to use the instant feedback captions available on graded questions (if correct or if wrong) to give more information to the users when they try a question.  On Survey type questions you don't get that option by default.  Is there a way that you know of that I can get these kind of feedback captions on survey type questions?
    That 'quiz scope' you mentioned on your reply - I think that is the cause of this issue.  Shame that it is still looking for completion of the quiz, while the option "Optional - the user can skip this quiz" is selected.
    It looks like the best way to workaround this is to create my own question slides with click boxes, buttons and advanced actions (rather than using the default question slides).
    Thanks again for your reply RodWard - much appreciated.

  • Replay same slide in CP3

    It seems that in Captivate 3 Adobe forgot to include the
    option to "jump to" the same slide (if you look at yoru "jump to"
    options for non-questoin slides, you won't find the slide number of
    the slide you are currently on). For slides that include
    non-rollover interactions, embedded SWFs that do not contain their
    own separate navigation, text caption fields or images that overlay
    each other or appear and disappera along the timeline, this can be
    a frustrating omission, as it mightnormally mean jumping forward or
    backward then returning to the same slide.
    There is a workaround for this, however...and oddly enough,
    it does involve jumping backward...
    1. On the slide you want to replay, add a click box or button
    or another type of interaction that allows you to control what
    occurs when the interaciton is clicked, run or played; set the
    tirgger mechanism (usually the click) at the end of the slide.
    2. Go to the Properties, and set the action if correct to
    "jump to previous slide." set the incorrect or "if the user clicks
    outside of..." action to "infinite attempts."
    3. Insert a new blank slide in front of the slide you want to
    replay. Place no objects on this slide.
    4. Set the duration for this new blank slide to "0.1" of a
    second (you can't set it to "zero.")
    Now, when you play or preview from the blank slide, because a
    tenth of a second blows by so quickly, the blank slide will play
    then automatically continue to the slide you want to replay. After
    lcicking your replay button/click box, the "jump to previous slide"
    is triggered, the blank page plays for 1-tenth of a second and
    moves back to your desired page.
    It's not elegant, but it works...it also does not require you
    to use a question slide (on which you can normally replay the same
    slide) to do this.
    This capability was available in CP 2 on regular slides, but
    somehow was left off from CP3.
    If there is some other way to do this that is a normal part
    of CP3's capabilities, I'd appreciate it if it could be shared.
    Thanks, and Happy Replaying.
    Kirk Hine

    Thanks Lilybiri (as always).
    I located CP Guru's updated widget for v5.5 and that works just fine.
    I tried your suggestion. Create a "Replay" button and followed what you suggested.
    After creating the advanced action I click on the "Replay" button i created and in the Actions under "Assign" I dont have the option cpCmdGoToSlide..I only have "ShowPlaybar", "Mute", "TOC" and "CC". Only way I can link the button is to use Action On Success "Execute Advanced Actions" and Script Replay Slide which is what I named my Adv.Action.
    This all works fine up to the point where I click the button. It returns back to the start of the slide, but the slide does not start again by itself.
    Did I do something wrong or is that what is meant to happen ?
    I am looking for the slide to start again as soon as they return to the start of the slide - which CPGuru widget seems to do.

  • Issues with "Add to total" with multiple clickboxes on a slide

    I've seen similar posts, but can't find any with this exact issue. If this has already been solved, please point me in the proper direction.
    I'm creating a quiz project that includes both application (click boxes and text entry) and question slides. The scoring should work such that if the learner gets the question correct on the first attempt, they get 2 points; on the second attempt, 1 point; and 0 points on any subsequent attempt. The way I've implemented this (using clickboxes for example), is to put 3 clickboxes on the timeline for each slide. The first is set to 1 attempt, with 2 points and "Add to total" selected. The second is set to 1 attempt, with 1 point and "Add to total" NOT selected. The last is set to infinite attempts, with 0 points and "Add to total" NOT selected.
    When I bring up the Advanced Interaction screen, it correctly shows the total number of possible points for the project (2 per slide.) However, when I get to the results page of the quiz, it shows 3 points per slide in the {max-score} field, which obviously screws up the perfect score. The incorrect total is also shown in the Quiz Settings dialog under "Pass or Fail", where I can set a specific number of points required for passing.
    Has anyone run into this behavior before? I can find anything that I've configured incorrectly in the individual slides or in the Advanced Interactions dialog.
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Hi Ryan
    Bugs are filed using the same form where we also submit product suggestions. It's called the Wish Form. This is also the best way to alert Adobe to a problem as it's a channel they are tuned into and are listening there. Sometimes we see Adobe employees visit here and occasionally answer a question or two. But largely it's user-to-user support.
    Link to the Wish Form/Bug Report is in my sig line as well as sprinkled around the Captivate forums in sidebars where we moderators can add things.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Why do quiz slides not work in LMS?

    Using Captivate 7. Scorm 2004. I added three multiple choice quiz slides to the course, interspersed between content pages, to act as review questions. Each quiz slide has a Submit and a Clear button.
    When I reloaded the updated course, now with the quiz slides, to the LMS (Cornerstone -stage environment), the options on the quiz slides are not clickable and the Submit and Clear buttons are missing.
    My settings are:
      Completion - based on slide views - 100%
      Success - based on slide views - 100%
      Quiz - "Optional - user can skip"
      Pass/Fail - 0% required to pass
      If Failing: Allow infinite attempts - checkbox (but I've also tried 1 attempt)
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Lieve. Actually, I think the reason that the LMS did not correctly display the quiz slides is because it had already marked me as "complete" (I had taken the course multiple times previously.) Plus in all the various versions I re-loaded to our Stage environment, I kept changing quiz settings, etc., and I think the poor LMS was just so confused. So after I made a few more changes to the course (see below) and logged in as a different user, the course and quiz slides displayed correctly.
    I made these changes to quiz settings in Captivate:
      - I based completion on only "Slides viewed" -- not on "Quiz is passed"
      - On the "Pass or Fail" settings, I changed "Go to next slide" to "Continue"
        and under  "If failing grade," I changed "1 attempt" to "infinite attempts."
    I also removed the reportable click box from slide 1.
    So I'm not sure which of these changes solved the problem, but the course is working correctly now, thankfully.

  • Slide advancing when it shouldn't

    I have a swf which will go into an LMS. The slide in question
    has 3 click boxes; 1 used as a back button (go to previous slide),
    1 used to advance the user (It's a software demo so they are
    clicking objects), the 3rd click box executes javascript which
    opens the glossary in the LMS.
    Before adding the 3rd click box everything was fine. The 3rd
    click box works, as in it opens the glossary. However, when I click
    the this click box it opens the glossary and then advances the
    slide. It's set to Infinite attempts, no captions, Show hand cursor
    over hit area is checked. Set to display the rest of the slide.
    The click box which is intended to advance the slide is set
    to Pause until user clicks, pause for captions.

    Hi Christine
    That option isn't only available for JavaScript. It's also
    available for URLs too. The trick (as I replied in the other post

    Cheers... Rick
