Matching Question Feedback

I have searched through the forum and can not find an answer
to this question. I have a question (matching) slide in my project.
There is also a video on the slide. The concept is that while
watching several different scenarios the student will pick the
behavior that is being displayed in the video and match it to the
scenario. The question is stand alone and the results of the
interaction will not be used in the exam. My question is what is
the best way to give the student feedback on how they performed. I
had the idea of just displaying the correct answers on the next
page but thought it would be nice if the student could compare the
answers they gave to the correct ones.
Thanks Brian

Hi there
By chance do you have a Button or Click Box object on the slide immediately preceding the question? I've seen cases where the click somehow got carried over and the question slide incorrectly interpreted the user had clicked the Submit button.
Cheers... Rick

Adding variables to match question slides

Hi All,
I am using Captivate 7 and need your help/idea/expertise on this. I am trying the following:
Adding a drag and drop slide wherein I should be able to drop the source to any target.
If the drop happens on the correct option (this is the challenge, how can I define the correct answer!), a message should flash saying "You are right"
If even a single drop goes wrong, then I the right answers should flash, (this I can create a new slide though)
But to set such conditions what should I exactly do? Please help.
Thanks,
Roja

The title of your question is bit confusing. Why should you have to add variables to match question slides?
The content of your question is totally different: each D&D slide can act as a question slide. It doesn't really have all the features of a question slide but most of them: Reporting, Score (only black/white, not partial score/penalty), Attempts, Actions On Success/Failure. When it is configured as a question its score will be reset when the user 'Retakes' a quiz with multiple attempts on quiz level etc. Progress quiz indicator will not be included however. And defining the correct answers is a breeze with the wizard or with the button Correct Answers.
The best part about D&D are IMO the 'Object actions': you can specify an advanced action for each drag&drop act and that is what you need. Do not use a simple action, because it will release the play head. That action can show a feedback text/object that was previously hidden, it can apply an effect to an object like flashing, etc. This blog post was written for CP8, but can help maybe:

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

Review for matching question?

I have a quiz that has a few multiple choice, a few true /
false, and one matching question. When the user finishes the quiz,
the Review button takes them to the first question and tells them
if they got the answer right or wrong (if they got it wrong, it
displays the correct answer).
1) For the matching question, there is no "review area". Is
it possible to add one?
2) Once they see the right or wrong anwers, how do they
advance to review the next question? (I do not have a "NEXT" button
on the questions).
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm Larry.
Sorry for the wait - normally we try to be sure no one slips
through the cracks, but - you did.
1) There is certainly a review area for "Matching"
questions. If you don't see one, it has been corrupted somehow, or
perhaps this question was not to be "Included in Scoring"?
If you are sure the review area isn't there - but should be -
create a new question slide with the same question and answers,
then delete thie current one. Be sure that you have checked "Allow
User to Review ..." in the Quiz Manager settings.
2) I use two buttons (only) on my quizzes.
And "Next" is always one of them. I use the "Submit" button
to indicate I have selected my answer, and I use the "Next" button
to move forward AFTER reviewing the quiz (ONLY). And I place a
caption on each question slide warning the user that the "Submit
button is to be used to move forward EXCEPT after the Review is
complete.
Hope this helps. An example of what one of my scored movies
might look like
the
one at this link. This is a movie covering the various movie
types - with a quiz and the opportunity to print out a completion
certfiicate if you pass (but not if you don't). Enjoy!

Review Quiz - Matching Question

Hi fellow Captivate-rs! I'm urgently hoping for some help...
I've got a four-question "Knowledge Check" (quiz), complete with a "Results" slide, at the end of my project. When clicking the "Review Quiz" button, the correct answers display for the user to compare against theirs as well (as should occurr, of course). The only exception is with "Matching" questions. When reviewing them, I see yellow boxes where the correct answer could/should be viewed. However, the correct answer(s) do not appear. Does anyone know of a solution? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Captivate doesn't allow much flexibility in these pre-programmed quiz question slides.
If you're not trying to output to HTML5 you could rebuild the question as a drag and drop interaction using the Infosemantics Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/drag-and-drop/question
This widget has a special trick for showing the correct answer when in Review Mode. Your learner can mouse over an object you specify in the widget settings that will then cause the drag objects on screen to animate and move to their correct positions. See the instructions on this page under Show Correct Answer:

Placing an image on matching Questions

Using Captivate 3, I would like to use the matching question
to match images, such as icons, with their usage. Is it possible to
insert small images in one of the column and how. Any suggestions
will be much appreciated.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
But, placing one image on top of another in a web page must be a task that happens all the time.. I just have not found a straight forward way to do it yet.
It's really not common.
It can be done via layering (what Dreamweaver calls APDivs) but you may still get layout issues with browser resizing.

C5.5 Issue with color/colour in matching question drop down list

Hi is there a way to change the colour of the letters that appear in the drop down lists for a matching question in 5.5?
I'm using white text on a grey background for my quiz slides, which is nice and easy to read, but then in the preview the letters in the drop down appear as white text on a white background. I can't see a way to change the font in the drop down back to black (as it is on my editing view), without also changing the colour of the answer text.
Is there a way to change this?
I've just tried covering the lists over with a chunk of background image - so that the user doesn't even know they're there, but the quiz slide has ordered the image behind the lists.
Failing there being a way to change the colour, is there a way to have a matching slide without a drop down list at all?
Thanks for reading
Lynn

Hi Shekhar
Thanks for the extra info - I'd tried changing the properties and using the object style manager before, but hadn't considered using them together.
This time, I followed your advice and:
I set the colour for 'Matching entries' to black in the object style manager
Then went into each column 1 entry and set the text to white
The result was white text in the column, with black in the list. Much better than before!
However, when I changed the text in column 2 to white, the list entries became white as well.
After a lot of experimentation, I've discovered that if you just select the text object and change the colour, you change all the text including the lettering and numbering of the answer - this changes the list colour.
If you change the text in the answer by highlighting it, this doesn't affect the lettering/numbering, however it still changes the drop down
To leave the drop down the right colour you need to change the answer colour by highlighting first, but, and the order is vital, you need to insert a space between the letter/number and the answer text first.
So, the end result I have is that the column 1 text is the right colour, the column 2 text is the right colour and the text in the drop down is the right colour. Unfortunately the lettering for the column 2 answers has to stay the same as the letters in the drop down list, so they don't show up brilliantly (black on a dark grey background), but it's a massive improvement on the invisible list I had before!
Thanks again!
Lynn

Matching Question Slides

Help
I am creating a matching questions slide with 6 selections.
Everytime I try to drag the last selection a box (similar to the
submit box) appears.

Not enough information, my friend, though I appreciate the
offer of a beer. What might be "similar to the submit box"? Does it
have text on it? What does it say? Where does it appear? - in the
air above the monitor? - in the leaves in a teacup? Okay, I'm
really just kidding, as you can tell ... but you will have to throw
us a bone and try to better describe your problem.
Based on what you said here, the only thing that comes to
mind is to go back and edit the "Matching" question slide to make
sure you have at least one match on the right side for each on the
left side. Not two, not zero, just a single one for each.
P.S. Welcome to the Captivate User Community!! I like your
screen name. Is your real name Icarus? Just wondered...

Matching Question--possible bug

Here's an issue that's been reported and verified by both technical support and myself.
In matching questions, if you drag incorrectly from one column to the other and then correct your mistake--the question is marked incorrect even if the end result is correct. Anyone seen this problem? Know what to do about it?

I agree, this looks like a bug. This code
if (names.contains(bundleName)) {
//the fallback branch intersects the main branch so we can stop now.
break;
}in getBundleImpl() causes the en_US bundle not to be loaded. It stops too early.
Probably it should continue rather than break.
I wrote a little class to find out which bundles the ResourceBundle class tries to load:
class CL extends ClassLoader {
     public CL()      {
          Locale.setDefault(Locale.US);
          test(Locale.UK);
          test(Locale.KOREA);
     void test(Locale l)     {
          System.out.println("--- "+l+", default: "+l.getDefault());
          try {
               ResourceBundle.getBundle("Messages", l, this);
          } catch(Exception ex) {
     public URL getResource(String s)     {
          System.out.println("getResource("+s+")");
          return(     getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(s) );
}output:
--- en_GB, default: en_US
getResource(Messages.properties)
getResource(Messages_en.properties)
getResource(Messages_en_GB.properties)
--- ko_KR, default: en_US
getResource(Messages_ko.properties)
getResource(Messages_ko_KR.properties)
getResource(Messages_en_US.properties)

Some pointers:
[list]
[*]don't use relative URL's that are rooted at the "slash", especially if you're running Apache/JServ. The Apache/JServ has a buggy version of getRealPath() -- a servlet API method -- and it doesn't return the right information for URL's like this. Best is to always use fully-relative URL's.
[*]Removing the namespace is not the right way to go. You have to make sure that you declare a namespace prefix in the stylesheet that uses the exact same namespace URI as the one you're trying to match against, then you MUST use prefix-qualified names like xxx:Foo/xxx:Bar/xxx:Baz to match elements with qualified names in the particular namespace.
[list]
For example, if your source XML looks like:

<data xmlns="x-schema:http://www.schemas.multex.com/glearnestapisrv.xdr">
<row>
<ename>Steve</ename>
</row>
</data>Then you stylesheet needs to look like this to match the <row>/<data>/<ename> element:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xxx="x-schema:http://www.schemas.multex.com/glearnestapisrv.xdr">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:for-each select="xxx:data/xxx:row/xxx:ename">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

ITunes match question (manual sync and iTunes library)

Hi all
Just noticed that iTunes match is now avaliable in Denmark, and therefore I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for elsewhere.
My situation is that I have all my music on a NAS (and on at USB backup drive). Some of the music is in 128 AAC and is 320 mp3.
On my macbook pro I have all of my music converted til 128 AAC so I can fit all of my music on my iPhone (10000 songs). All my music on my iPhone is manage manually through iTunes. I normally 1) add it to itunes, 2) transfer it to iphone and 3) remove the music again from my iTunes library. I mostly just have an empty iTunes library (since i play music from my iPhone and my Sonos system) and just use iTunes for ripping CDs and editing of tags.
Since my iPhone is running out of space, I thought it would be a good idea to have some of my music i iCloud (iTunes match). From what I've read it is not possible to have both music transfered manually from iTunes to my iPhone and at the same time accessing music from Itunes match? What I really would like is to have 20 GB on my iPhone with the rest avaliable through iTunes match (20 GB) for when I need it. Is this possible?
My second and most important question is about the itunes library. What happens if I connect to iTunes macth and afterwards remove all my music from my itunes library? As I just explained I prefer my itunes library to be empty unless i want to transfer music to my iPhone.
Hope you can help me with some answers?
Thánk You.

That info has not been released yet but to venture a guess, I doubt any extraneous info such as comments will be used.
Also, iTunes Match will not use your tags to identify songs. Some algorithm will analyze the audio file to match.

ICloud Drive vs iTunes Match questions

So I have been looking into different ways of having my music accessible throughout all of my OS devices. From what I have seen, I can either purchase a subscription to iTunes Match, or I can just purchase additional iCloud storage. Now just for the sake of my music, I would need to purchase a 200 GB plan, costing me about $50 a year, therefore the iTunes Match subscription would be the cheaper alternative at $24.99 a year. However I do have a couple of questions regarding both options.
Ideally, what I would like to do, is to be able to open iTunes on either my MacBook Air or my iMac, or the Music app on my iPhone or iPad, and be able to access and play any song in my entire collection. Also, syncing of playlists throughout my devices is something I desire greatly.
Now that OS X Yosemite is out (all my devices are either running OS X Yosemite or iOS 8), I understand that file sharing is made much easier. So this led me to think that maybe I should purchase additional storage and store my music in the iCloud Drive. But here is where I start needing some clarity. Suppose I open iTunes or the Music app on a device. Will my entire collection be visible through the app(s), or would I have to access iCloud Drive and play the files from there? Also, assuming that my entire collection can be seen via the app(s), will any playlists that I create be synced? Also concerning the iPhone, if I choose to play a song, will it get downloaded from the Drive onto the device, taking up internal storage, or will it get streamed? Is there, perhaps, a way to have these app(s) continuously sync their libraries with a specific "Music" folder on iCloud Drive (with playlists being synced)?
From what I understand from iTunes Match, all of my songs that are matched with songs from the iTunes Store will immediately be made available to me in my iTunes Library for playing. Now the songs that do not get matched: do they get uploaded to the storage that is provided by iTunes Match (25,000 songs), or do they get uploaded to my iCloud Drive? Are the songs that matched included in this 25,000 song limit, or does it only count the songs that didn't match? Will iTunes Match sync my playlists across all devices, regardless of which device the playlist was created on? Also, on the iPhone, same question as before, will songs be streamed from the storage that iTunes Match provides or will they have to be downloaded to play?
Based on how I want to be able to access and play my music, I'm inclined to think that maybe iTunes Match is the better (and cheaper) alternative? If simply using the iCloud Drive is good enough, then I wouldn't mind paying the extra amount for storage because I'm sure I'll be taking advantage of file sharing even outside of music. iTunes Match also has the ad-free iTunes Radio which might be cool too.
I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about this or if you have any better methods of keeping all music files organized and synced across all devices, then I'm all ears.
P.S this is my first post so sorry if it's lengthy.

ITunes match does not use iCloud Drive to store music. if you want to share music with all your devices, you should purchase iTunes Match. ICloud Drive provides storage for other non music data and you have 5gb free - you can purchase more if required.

Question Pool Manager text not matching question.

How can this happen? I'm using Captivate 5 on Windows XP. In the image below, the text of the question in the pool does not match what it says in the Pool Manager. Note the highlighted line on the Pool Manager. It says "Type the question here" while as you can see the actual text was edited to deal with crates and foam. I have several quizzes with the same problem. When you take the quiz, all of the questions display fine. When you look at the quiz result data, several of the quiz questions are listed as "Type the question here." Anyone got any ideas?

Pattern and Matching question

Hey,
I'm trying to use the pattern and matcher to replace all instances of a website
address in some html documents as I process them and post them. I'm
including a sample of some of the HTML below and the code I"m using to
process it. For some reason it doesn't replace the sites in the underlying
images and i can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please forgive all the
unused variables, those are relics of another way i may have to do this if i
can't get the pattern thing to work.

If you use just / it misinterprets it and it ruins
your " " tags for a string. I don't think so. '/' is not a special character for Java regex, nor for Java String.
The reason i used
literal is to try to force it to directly match,
originally i thought that was the reason it wasn't
working.That will be no problem because it enforces '.' to be treated as a dot, not as a regex 'any character'.

Song matching question...

I download quite a bit of new music through mixtapes and such outlets, of which are usually low bitrate files. Most of my music is within 6 months old (maybe about 300 tracks.) My question is, at some point, if/when these songs are available on iTunes, will they automatically be matched and upgraded in my library with this new iTunes Match service?

You can't.
In this order, the screens are as follows:
1) Normal, showing progress bar of current song
2) Scrub, showing a diamond instead of a progress bar. Use the scroll wheel to scrub through the current song
3) Rating, showing the current song's rating out of 5 stars. Use the scroll wheel to change rating
