Localization of Quiz Slide Content

I have developed a set of eLearning Modules that have already been deployed in english, and now need to be translated into 10+ languages for international use.
This process has been made faster and easier using File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions...
However, I've noticed that on the Quiz Slides: instructions, titles and navigation buttons are not included in the exported in the captions.doc and therefore are not automatically translated (because of the lack of inclusion) when I import the Updated Text Caption Data.
Are there any time-saving options besides just translating those Quiz Slide objects manually within captivate?
Thanks!

Hi MB_Design,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
We would like to tell you that the standard objects or the navigation button text and the instructions have to be changed manually through Captivate.
Since the project is created in English language there is not any feature that can convert standard object ot text according to the launguage you choose.
Thanks

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 backward movement, the Nav bar dissapears

Hi,
When I enable the back button in quiz slides for CP 6 the nav bar disappears on the previous content slides. It randomly shows up once you click slides from the menu. Is there a way to have backward movement and see the nav bar on previous screens?
I have tried adding the nav bar back to the quiz slides thinking that the user would not be able to move forward until they click the correct answer but that isn't working either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi GillianKeisker,
Thank you for contatcting adobe support.
Can you please send us the screen shot for the same because its working fine at our end.

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.

The answers questions not selectable in quiz slide for some users

We have a SCORM Captivate training content published on our LMS (SAP Learning Solutions). Some users can't respond to any questions in the content.For these users, the answers are locked and are not selectable. Also, the Validate and Erase buttons didn't appear.
The problem concerns about 10% of our users.
This training contains both content slides and quiz slides.
The content is published in SCORM 1.2 (SWF + HTML) with Adobe Captivate 5.5. We had the same problem for some users with the previous version of this training content published with Captivate 4.
All users have the same settings:
Flash Player 10.3.183.11
Internet Explorer 6
Microsoft Windows XP

The most likely reason for this behaviour is that your 10% of users have entered the quiz and then thought they might jump back to the information slides to check the answer. On doing so they have exited the quiz scope which immediately locks the quiz.
Have you actually watched these problem users complete the quiz? If you are able to do so, make sure that once they start the first question, they answer all quiz questions in turn without jumping to any other slides or leaving the quiz. If my hunch is right, the person will be able to successfully complete the quiz.
If the desire is to allow users to jump back to the content section to check information, place a scored button on the first or second slide of your project. This extends the quiz scope and will mean that the user is still within the "quiz" no matter what slide they want to look at.

Adobe Captivate 4 Answers not appearing on quiz slide

I have quiz slides in my project with single answer multiple choice questions.
Sometimes on my slides as they are playing the letters for the choices appear but the answers do not.
I hit the right button on my mouse and refresh the page and they appear.
Please let me know if there is something I can do to assure the answers appear all the time.
Thank you,
David Gambal

As far as I am aware, deleting or replacing the Question Title or Question Text captions in quiz questions in any version of Captivate will cause issues. So don't do it.
You do not need to always choose Optional as your Preferences > Quiz Settings > Required setting. But if you choose one of the other more restrictive options this drop down offers (Required, Pass Required, Answer All) then you may run into strange issues where your quiz seems to stall for no apparent reason, especially in situations where you try to Retake Quiz or move back and forth from quiz questions to content slides. I recommend you start with Optional, and then once you have everything working perfectly, try the other settings if you really feel the need. Personally, I never seem to use them.

CP6 -- Project stops at quiz slide

Hi
I am using CP 6.0.1.240.
I created a new sample project with 3 blank content slides and quiz slides of all types (one each). When I publish the project, the first three content slides play without any issues. But the first quiz slide (multiple choice) shows blank and I cannot proceed further.
I have deleted my preferences and tried this. But still same result.
Please advise.

Hi There,
Are you publishing your project locally on your machine or on shared/ network location ?
Have you tried to preview the project before publishing ? can you please confirm in which format you are publishing your project ?

Is it OK to duplicate quiz slides for the sake of allowing multiple attempts to answer the question?

I am using Captivate 4 and have several quiz slides interpersed throughout my project. The user MUST get the answer correct so I am allowing them mulitple attempts to answer the question. The problem I run into is that when the question is answered incorrectly, the user is automatically brought to the next slide and is not able to re-answer the question. How can the user re-answer the question before moving on with the content? Is it OK to duplicate the question slide?
Example:
Memorial day always falls on a:
A) Monday
B)Sunday
C)Friday
D)Saturday
If the user selects either B, C, D I want them to see feedback that says they are incorrect and to please select a different answer. Of course, if the user selects A, the correct answer, the captivate just moves on.
(NOTE: I have already added advanced actions to the multiple choice questions showing customized feedback for the incorrect answer...I just need to let the user try the question again!)
It seems like I will get into some complex branching by duplicating the slide for incorrect response...I just need to know if this is OK to do and will it work?
OR - is there a better solution
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry, but apparently we do live in different time zones, morning over here, have to teach in a few minutes.
Will try to answer this afternoon. To give differentiated feedback, depending on answers, you'll need to construct your question slides instead of using the default Question slides. That means: using Text captions, interactive objects, user variables and advanced actions.

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!
Dave

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)

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 !

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.
