Insert link to previous slides in a quiz

Hello,
I am working on a quiz including questions and reference links.
We can only add a link to open an external document or file instead of going back..
But we would like our learners to click on the link to go back and review the previous slides in the same course.
How can I make it happen?
Many thanks!

Then be sure that the user stays within the quiz scope by adding a scored object on the first slide to which you want to allow navigation. But this means that the user will not be able to answer that question when coming back to the question slide. Even if you offer multiple attempts on question level, navigating away from the question slide will block that question. Submit all is not a solution, although it allows you to navigate freely between question slides. I didn't check if it allows to go to a slide that has a scored object.

Quiz slides inserted in project; subsequent slide has audio

Hi,
I inserted a couple of quiz slides, true/false and multiple choice, in between 2 regular slides that have audio. When I run my project, I see the quiz slide, but the audio plays as if the quiz slides are not there. In other words, the audio for the subsequent slide plays while the quiz slide is displayed. For example:
Slide 1 has audio
Slide 2 is quiz
Slide 3 is quiz
Slide 4 has audio
When I play, my audio goes from slide 1 to slide 4, while displaying slide 2
I know I must have some basic setting incorrect. My quiz slides are set to On Success - Continue. The surrounding slides are set to On Enter - Continue, On Exit - No Action.
Help!

In Captivate you can insert audio on objects, on a single slide, and across multiple slides.
Is it possible that your audio has been inserted to span more than one slide instead of slide-by-slides?
If for example you had originally added your audio to a number of timed slides, and then inserted more slides in between, you may have confused Captivate as to where the audio needed to play.
I may be on the wrong track here but thought it worth suggesting.

Inserting a question in to an existing quiz

Hi,
We're using version 6.1 of Presenter in PowerPoint 2000 and
2003. We're trying to insert a question in to the middle of an
existing quiz. When I add a question in the quiz manager the newly
inserted question overwrites one of my my existing question
(slides), followed by a friendly error message dialog stating an
unexpected error occured. The question never shows up in the quiz
manager, just one of my existing questions gets splatted.
Looks like there's some sort of corruption occuring in the
quiz that I can't fix without rewriting the entire quiz.
Does anyone know how to work around this problem?
Thanks in advance
Phil

I fixed this problem by doing two things. Firstly I deleted
the summary slide at the end of the quiz. This stopped the error
dialog appearing, but the new slides I was trying to insert were
still overwriting an existing question. I then deleted the
questions that were being overwritten, and all subsequent inserted
questions worked correctly. Seems like something got corrupted in
the question slide.
The quiz result summary page gets regenerated so there's no
problem with deleting it if things get corrupted behind the
scenes.

I am trying to link slides, a specific slides to specific lines. Every time I attempt to link, Keynote automatically links me to slide 10, despite my attempt to link to a slide other than slide 10

I am trying to link slides, a specific slide to a specific slide. Every time I attempt to link, Keynote automatically links me to slide 10, despite my attempt to link to a slide other than slide 10; any ideas why? Thanks

create a shape on the slide e.g. a circle
right click the shape and select Add Link
make sure you select a specific slide number (don't select first previous or next)

Next and Previous slide from Flash Menu

We are currently tasked with updating SAP training that was
created with OnDemand software. The current simulations have a
Javascript menu on each screen which provides various functions
including moving from current slide to next or previous slides.
When the existing movie is played and captured, we lose the
javascript menu functionality.
I have created a Flash Menu and have imported it to the newly
captured Captivate movie. All links on the menu work except Next
Slide and Previous slide.
The script I use for the button for the Next slide is as
follows:
this.next_btn.onRelease =function(){
this._parent._parent..nextFrame();
Also I have tried substituting for nextFrame "play" and for
the target path "_root" for the first "_parent."
The variables "rdcmndNextFrame" and "rdcmndPrevious" do not
work unless you are using a playback bar, which detracts from the
simulation.
Has anyone ever created this type of functionality? It seems
that it would be straight forward. It is most likely a target path
issue. The captivate movie is the container for the flash menu. To
access the captivate movie timeline and move to the next or
previous slide is what I really need.
Help!

I resolved the issue by selecting to use a playback bar and
then in the Flash file setting the visibility of the playback bar
to "0".

Jump to Slide not jumping to previous slides

I have created a button to Jump to an earlier slide, but it
does not jump to previous slides - only forward slides. Can anyone
tell me how I can get it to go to a previous specified slide.
Many thanks

Hi YvonneK2005 and welcome to our community

Is there a keyboard shortcut to Insert Link?

So some options like Bold, Underline, Italics have keyboard shortcuts.
Has any one figured out a keyboard shortcut to Insert Link? What about Insert Photo?
What about a keyboard shortcut for pasting the text in the clipboard in as plain text?

Couple of ways to do that.
Great. I'll give it a shot...
1) Use the Quote icon to quote and requote the message being replied to, then delete all the stuff not wanted for each instance. That's too tedious for me.
Agreed.
2) Copy and Paste the selected parts of the message being replied to. Once one part is pasted in, select it again in the compose box and click the Quote icon. Repeat as needed. When you select text in a compose box and click the Quote thingie, instead of quoting the previous message it will set off the selected text in quoted style.
So that's the secret. Thanks!
I use the second method, but with a variant. If I know I'm going to be chopping up the replied to message like that, I just copy/paste the whole thing into the compose box. Then I break it up, adding a response to one section before moving down and adding a response to the next section. The last thing I do before posting is to select each of the pasted parts and click the Quote thingie.
The reason I wait until the end to set them off in quoted style is that although you can undo the quoted format, it's not convenient to do so. I find it easier to get all my tweaking done first.
Makes sense, as long as you don't inadvertently apply the quote thingie to your own response, but I guess that can be fixed.

Captivate 4 - unable to bookmark content slides with a Quiz and maintain Incomplete status

When creating a presentation that has content slides before a quiz the Captivate content is recorded as Failed when exited early in the LMS.
I am trying to allow the user to view content pages that bookmark when they ahve to exit the course. This should set a status of Incomplete which will allow the user to return to the last page (slide) viewed and continue. Once all slides are viewed they are then presented with a Quiz that requires an 80% to pass.
I have tried the reporting setting "quiz results and slide views" in Captivate but if I exit on any content slide it is recorded as Failed with a 0 score. The LMS I am using is OutStart Evolution.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

surf_easy922,
As discussed privately - you needed to click the "continue" button at the Quiz Results screen, in order to successfully complete the content in the LMS. There are a number of options that you can employ to resolve this:
- Change settings in the Quiz Manager to "Quiz Results, only"
- Remove the Quiz Results screen and insert your own certificate
- In this case (because of where the content originated) you should use Adobe Presenter
For building your own certificate - I have written an article on building your own Flash-based certificates for Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate. The article can be found here: http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/02/certificates/
I am in the process of revamping that article, because it is *very* technical and doesn't need to be. I think a lot of people are confused (justly so) by the article and really how easy it is to use the template/sample certificates I've provided in the article for their own purposes. While I am working on that update, here is a walkthough of how you can use any of the sample FLA's in the article, above for your own custom certificate: http://www.learningconsulting.com/content/adobe/connect/CertificatesInCpPr/CertificatesInC pPr_customizing.htm
Finally, I think for your purposes and based on how you are building your content, you should look at the Adobe Presenter tool. It is a PowerPoint plug-in that provides the same functionality that you have in your Captivate file (but you work within PowerPoint, so you do not need to import the PPT file - you work directly with it). Captivate is an awesome tool and should be used for your simulations and more complex interactivity, but in this case Presenter is the more appropriate tool for your needs.
I hope this helps.

Andrew

Turning audio off from previous slide

I put together a CP5 demo for my lead to present at a meeting to show management some of the things CP5 can do. On the slides I placed and example of the following:
a Software Simulation
a video
project built from PPTs
Each of these had narrations in the example. WHen my lead when to run through it the audio from each continued to play when the project advanced to the next slide so by the end it was a chorus of voices. Is there a way to tell CP5 to stop the audio when the slide advances? I'm thinking it must be an advanced action but I"m not good with these.
Thanks,
Susan

Did you add each of these examples as Captivate published SWFs added on separate slides of a master project?
If so, you would effectively have three or more SWFs each with their own audio track. Unless you explicitly stop the audio for an SWF inserted into a Captivate movie slide, it will continue to play until finished.
For best results in Captivate you should avoid nesting Captivate movies within other Captivate projects.
Just copy and paste all the slides from each separate example into a main project file so that these slides become slides in the master project, each with their own separate audio on each slide. Then when you publish you shouldn't have problems with the audio playing over the top of other slides. When you move from slide to slide the audio from previous slides will cease playing.

Cap6 What would prevent a project from jumping to previous slides?

My current project is using buttons with jump to slide to move between four slides in sequence. When the project is previewed the buttons that progress forward work correctly however none of the buttons that go to previous slides work.
When the progress bar is moved back it does not move past a certain point. If you move the progress bar forward rapidly you can then access the previous slides and the buttons begin to function correctly.
Has anyone encountered this issue and found a resolution?

How did you check? Preview in browser or after publishing? Are those the navigation buttons on a default playbar or custom buttons?
Do you have question slides? If yes, what are the Quiz settings? Do you allow Backwards navigation, what is the Required setting?
Do you have pretest slides? Is Branch aware checked?
Which version (exact number) of 6? I'm asking this because the version ending on 199 had some navigation problems.

How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client. I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
Cheers - Claire

what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

How can I create a new slide that starts where a complex animation on the previous slide ends?

I am creating a series of animations to illustrate a complex set of ideas, and I want to do it as a series of animations, to keep each slide from getting too complex. I would like to do this a stages, by creating a new slide that is a copy of where the previous slide ended. I'm hoping that some of you have done more with Keynote animations than I, and that you'll be able to give me a few suggestions. Thanks!!

Thanks, Gary. I should have mentioned that the previous slide moved and scaled several groups of objects. So, at the end of the slide's activity the groups of objects were in different positions and were of different sizes than they are when I return to the slide. So if I copy the opbject sn paste them onto the next slide, I still need to get them to the right place, and scale them. That's tricky, especially since text objects don't scale like graphic objects. Thanks for trying tohelp, though. I apprecaite your effort!

Insert Link and Insert Image broken in Chrome

The Insert Link and Insert Image buttons have been broken in my Chrome for at least the last couple of days (latest version, 32.0.1700.72 m, Windows 7 64).
When you click one of the buttons, the overlay window appears with a title, but it is otherwise black with no contents. (See screenshot below.)
The buttons work fine in Firefox. What hasn't helped: deleting cookies, clearing the browser cache, waiting for several minutes for their content to appear.

Whtat are we supposed to Claudio? All descend on Adobe with clubs and try to beat some sense into someone!
The fact is the customer is no longer the prime concern. Most companies don't give a Rats behind (toned down to prevent censors action) about the customers. It's the almighty dollar. Screw as many customers as they can while they can and line their pockets with all the green backs as they can while they can. Then if the cusomers leave so be they take their money and run.
Customer use to have power, they would speak loud and frequently and get things fixed. And what with people from other countries now owning US companies, That were brought up with different moral compasses. They have no concept of this thing of loyalty to customers. The customer can jump off a cliff and they will simply cheer them on while the do so.
We have lost, the fight can't be won. It no use. So Pat and others are right.
I've been trying for 15 years for adobe to fix the issue of having multiple Pdfs created from Office documents because the claim they can't figure out how MS does Page and section breaks. And the issue of Weblinks not being active when converted to PDF's Both on Mac's yet on PC's there is no issue. I quite this year after I received a down right nasty not from Adobe say they didn't have any interest in fixing the bugs and were not about to try. What it amounted was go take a flying leap.
They have the ability. They have beenblaming Its apple because they don't do such and such , or Microsoft because they don't do so and such. On the Links issue Saying MS doesn't provided the necessary hooks in the mac version of Office. They do you can take a Word document created on a Mac and open a PC and create a PDF and the links will be active. You can Open a Word Document in Apple's pages and all links created in Office document will be there. The argument has been proven several different ways to be a an outright bald-faced lie. The defect is squarely with the Mac version of Acrobat.
So Pat and others are right. Just throw in that towel. Adobe support of its customers is now 10 times worse than intuit's which is supposed have the lowest reputation of any software compny that ever existed.

What happened to linking to other slide decks in Keynote 6.0

It appears that another bit of simple technology was removed from Keynote 6.0 - linking to other slide decks! This is a key advantage that PowerPoint has had. I really was hoping the same functionality would have been incorportated into the new Keynote. Now it appears one can only create links to other slides within the deck, a website, or email. Definitiely some key customization functionality has been removed. Not good.

Lots of other features gone:
