Missing Quiz Answers

I created a matching question in Captivate 3 with seven items
listed on the left. The descriptions on the right only show six. I
reduced the font size, but I still cannot see the seventh
description. I can see all seven when I go to Edit Question. Any
idea how to pull the seventh description from beyond the visible
screen?

You misunderstand yet again. This is not Adobe Support, and we do not work for Adobe. This is a user community populated by Captivate users like yourself from all over the world. We don't represent Adobe any more than you do. We share knowledge gleaned from using one or more of their software products.
If you want Adobe Support, go to the Adobe website and look up the support telephone number for your Country. As you will find, though we may be contributing our expertise for free here, Adobe Support may do otherwise.
Occasionally an Adobe employee may chime in on one of these threads, but mostly the answers and solutions here are proposed by Captivate users helping one another out. We all started out as newbies and others kindly helped us acquire what we now know. So those of us that have some spare time choose to give back to the community by answering questions or offering solutions when able.
We don't claim to have all the answers, but most people appreciate our efforts anyway. If you can't see your way clear to be appreciative of help offered in good faith, by all means feel free to take your questions elsewhere.

Cpt 5 - Quiz Answer Text Doesn't Display

Situation: I've created a course with mutliple lessons. At the end of each lesson I use quiz pages to ask knowledge recall questions. These are scored but given a value of 0 points.
At the end of the course, I have a quiz that is scored.
Problem: On my machine, the quiz functions as it should. When I have collegues test it, the quiz answer text does not display. The check boxes and the letters display. Clicking a check box works but when CheckIT (the submit button) is clicked it provides the feedback that an answer must be given.
This page has a video on it, others do not with the same display.
I thought it might be a font issue, but when I changed it to Arial, not change. Also, why would the font affect the fucntionality (i.e., clicking a checkbox not work)?
Any thoughts?
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Looks like you may have removed some of the standard elements that are required for a quiz question to function. I suggest you insert a new quiz question and this time don't remove any of the standard captions or the review area.

Quiz Answers Pop-Up

Does anyone know how to make a message display when a quiz
question has been answered correctly (or a different message
display when the question has been answered incorrectly)? I have
created a movie that contains 5-10 quiz questions. Users take the
quiz, answer the questions, and receive the last slide that
displays how well they did. The user then decides to review the
quiz questions. During this review period, I want something to
pop-up that says "You answered correctly and this is why you
answered correctly", which means that the statement that displays
would be different for every question. I have tried to input this
information into the review area but the verbiage that pops up for
question #1 also pops up for question#2 and that is incorrect. Each
question will have a different response.
Anyone know how to do this? Many thanks!

rita the reader,
You are very welcome for the help. I have been through a lot
lately with learning the ins and outs of the Captivate software and
several people greatly assisted me. I don't mind giving back by
assisting you.
Yes, you are correct. Simply double-click on the box that
says "Correct. Click to continue", enter your verbiage in the
dialog box that displays and click Ok. You will have just changed
the feedback message your user receives when they answer the quiz
question correctly. Be sure to also enter verbiage into the box
that says "Incorrect. Click to continue" for those users that
answer the quiz question incorrectly. You can change these feedback
captions and make them different for each quiz question that you
have.
By the way, you will want to consider leaving the "Click to
continue" words at the end of your verbiage so that your user
realizes they need to click the Next button. Also, I change "Click
to continue" to "Click Next to continue." to make it clear and
grammatically correct with a period at the end of the sentence.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Formatting Questions about Quiz Answers

Hi all,
I'm in CP5 and working with a multiple answer slide.
1. I'd like to not have any numbering associated with my quiz answers. Is there a way to turn this off completely? There's no option under Quiz Properties, General, Numbering.
2. No matter what I do, the baselines of the checkboxes, numbering and answer text don't line up. Is there a way to make them look nicer on the stage? I've already tried manipulating the height of the text in the text field.
3. There's a big gap between the checkbox and the numbering. I'd like to move the checkbox closer to the answer text. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi there,
Just to add to Lilybiri's, excellent post. There is actually a way of removing the numbering from Adobe Captivate question slides, though 'right off the bat' I must stress that this will require you working in XML &I haven't tested this to see if there is any negative impact on reporting to an LMS. If you are comfortable with this, then please carry out the following steps:
Exporting your Adobe Captivate file as XML
1. Open your Adobe Captivate quiz file.
2. Choose Export > To XML...
3. Give your file a name.
Editing the XML file
1. Open the XML file in text editor or if you have the Adobe eLearning Suite open it in Adobe Dreamweaver.
2. Locate the line of code that reads as follows:
<g css-style="font-family:'Myriad Pro';font-face:'Regular';color:#000000;font-size:22.0pt" ctype="x-cp-font" id="1103-10088-1-1">1.</g>
3. Remove the "1." from between the start end ending <g> element.
4. Repeat this step for the rest of the Questions in your project.
5. Save the XML file.
Importing the XML
1. Back in your Adobe Captivate project choose: Import > From XML...
2. Select your XML file
3. Click Open
This should result in the question numbering being removed from your Question Slides. However, as I pointed out at the beginning of this post, you should test this both locally and in your LMS to make sure that this does not impact on your SCORM reporting.
In addition as you can see from the XML code I included below, Adobe Captivate is using inline CSS to style Question Slides.
<group cp:datatype="x-paragraph" css-style="text-align:left;line-spacing:1.00;line-indent:0.00">
Whilst there is a line-spacing property when I tried reducing this to 0.5, when I imported the XML back into Adobe Captivate this didn't make any difference. It would appear that internally Captivate treats 1.00 as a fixed limit.
Hope this is of some use to you.
Best regards,
Mark

Partial Credit for Quiz Answer

Partial Credit for Quiz Answer
Scenario: You add a multiple choice question with multiple
correct answers with a point value of 3, e.g. there are 4 answers
and 3 out of the 4 answers are correct.
Question: If the user answers 2 out of 3 correctly, is there
a way to pass back to the LMS a score of 2 as opposed to 0 (no
credit)? It seems to be all or nothing, but I need to verify that
that's true.
Thanks.

Hi,
First do Invoice for 5000...
as you have credit for the Same Service..
Now do Credit memo Against the invoice for 2000...

Need to view quiz-taker's quiz answers

Hello,
This question concerns Cp7 quizzes and the reporting of quiz results.
We need to be able to allow administrators and teachers to view quiz-takers' quiz answers. That is, if for the question '1 + 2 = ?', a student answers '4', we need to be able to see that '4' was this student's response. (We also need to see whether the student answered this question correctly, his or her results for the quiz as a whole, and more. But in this post, I'd like to focus on seeing the student's specific answers: '4'.)
We run the Cp quizzes in an LMS, and it doesn't report the answers for these quizzes. (It does report other quiz information.) Is there a way to view the student's' answers?
(Jim Leichliter has something along this line with his Google LMS widget. Perhaps it's the way to go, but I'm wondering whether there's anything else available.)
Thank you.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

On the cp side, you need to have checked the box in quiz preferences to send interaction data.
Once that is done, it will send all the details.
If your LMS is a certified scorm product, then it will already have the proper tables to capture that data.
However, the bigger challenge is how you find and retrieve those results.
Every LMS is different and you need to ask your LMS admin or vendor how to view the "scorm interaction data".
I hope that helps,
Russ

Allow user to change quiz answers

Hi,
I've made a quiz using random multiple choice questions from a question pool and have the option to allow backward movement in the quiz. If a student selects an answer to a question and wants to go back and change it, it's not allowing the original answer to be changed.
Is there a way to make that possible and not have their answer's locked in until the quiz is "finalized" somehow?
Thanks!

Thank you! I'm using CP5 and had the quiz properties set for infinite attemps and looked at the properties for each random question quiz slide. The part I didn't do was the quiz properties for each question in the question pool. Once I set each of the questions there to infinite attemps it started working.
Thanks again for your quick response!!

Multiple Click Box Quiz Answers on the Same Slide

Hello. I am using Captivate 5.5
I have a quiz slide with two click boxes that are both correct answers. When a learner clicks either of them, I want them to advance to the next slide and score as "Correct".
The problem is since they only click one of the boxes, they never receive enough points to pass the quiz (since each box has earns credit towards the final score).
Does anyone have a solution or work around for this?
Thanks.

I have already watched the videos, but we still end up 1 answer short. Essentially no correct scores are being reported from that slide that contains the Master Widget.
Here is the exact set up we have:
Two click boxes that are correct answers. Neither are set to report to quiz. If either box is clicked the slide advances (and theoretically a correct score of 1 should be added). If they click anywhere else on the slide it should advance the slide without adding the point to the total score.
The Master Widget is set up the following way.
Slave Objects: Both of our correct click boxes are listed as slaves
Scoring: Under "Slave Scoring" we have both click boxes set to "1" on Success and "0" on Failure
Success/Failure: We have chosen "Success" and "Based on Slave Success/Failure" - "Report Success if any 1 slaves report Success"
Evaluate: We selected "Evaluate each time a slave evaluates"
Misc: We left all of these in their default position.

Use back button and clear advanced action and quiz answer..

OK, so I have made a quiz where the answer for each question is recorded and given in a list at the end. However, I would like the user to be able to go back and change their answer. At the moment if the user goes back, the answer is locked and they cannot chose a diiferent option.
Does anyone know if it is possible for them to go back, select a different and still have the advanced action part record the new answer?
Thanks for any help!

Only way to reset the answers to a default question slides, during the same session, is to use the Retake button on the score slide (you need to have multiple attempts of course. But that will be done at Quiz level: all answers are reset.
Another option (in CP6 and later) is to use the Submit all option, then they will be able to go back and change answers. But... I suppose you are using the system variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice to populate user variables with those advanced actions? That system variable is not populated when Submit all is chosen.
Last option is to use remediation, but it will probably not suit you: then user can be sent to a content slide if a question is failed, be sent back to the question slide and can then change the answer. It is not just going back one or more slides.
Custom question slides will allow what you want, but they necessitate a lot more work and you will not be able to use question pools.

Multiple response quiz answers changing to single response

I am experiencing a funny problem with multiple response
questions. Sometimes when I launch a project with a quiz- the
multiple response questions are suddenly changing to single
respones - even the button changes from the squares - to the round
radio buttons. I go back and check and everything is set up
correctly - the multiple responses are all checked and it previews
correctly.
It seems to randomly happen only occasionally on all my
projects - I can't recreate it as it will just happen sometimes.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem - or how to fix
it.
I'm on Captivate version 2
Thanks
Nat

Have you checked for any updates for Captivate 2? It could be
a bug that an update can remedy.

Missing Quiz templates from Gallery and Quiz Menu

Looking for the Captivate 5.5 quiz templates. I've looked in the Gallery and the quiz folder is not listed. When I pull down the Quiz Menu in Captivate, the download quiz templates option does not display. Has something changed? Also unable to open templates downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/quiz.html. Recieve "could not open..." message when I attempt to open the cptx file.
Thanks.

Please, to be sure, could you check the version number (Help, About Captivate)?
Those Quiz templates are not available in 5.0, and the fact that you cannot open the templates also would point to you using a previous version.
Are you using the English version?

Captivate 8.0.1 iOS Systems (i-Phones and i-Pads) require double clicks to submit quiz answers and perform actions. Why?

Is this common? I never noticed it before. Is this something that got changed with Patch 8.0.1? Was that patch supposed to do something else?

Hi Bryan,
We analyzed your content and we found that there is no issue while pressing submit for quiz slides in mobile devices.
here is what we did:
Once quiz slide is loaded we answer the question then press submit after that we get a success/failure caption which explains that we need to click anywhere to continue. We click on that caption and the progress continues, gradually moving to next slide.
So at our end we are not getting any point where submit button need to be pressed twice before moving to next slide.
I am using Iphone 5 and Ipad 2 for testing. The content is deployed in a webserver.
Let me know the steps, by following which I can get to the issue that you mentioned in this post.
Also we can have a connect meeting to figure out the issue at your end.
Send the details regarding availability and timezone in which you fall-in, to my email id. I can initiate a meeting on the basis of that.

Prevent user from selecting quiz answer

I'm using CP5 and my project is predominantly quiz questions. Each question allows infinite attempts and uses advanced answer options to 'show' audio feedback for all answers submitted (wrong and correct).
Also, each quiz has an audio introduction.
When a user enters a quiz slide, the audio intro plays, but the user is able to submit an answer. If they do this, the audio feedback for the question plays at the same time as the introduction audio. Similarly, if the user submits a wrong answer, then quickly submits another answer, the 2 feedback audios play concurrently.
So, things are working as I expect them to, but it's not ideal and is a little sloppy if a user doesn't wait for audio to stop before doing their thing.
Is there a way to prevent users from submitting answers while either the intro to the slide is playing or while another answer feedback is playing?
I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with advanced actions.
I also considered putting invisible, dead buttons or captions over the answers that would block a user's click until the audio is done, but there's no way that I know to put anything in front of a quiz object.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Guido,
please state your specific question in the posting as well, as after quickly reading it I had to stop and read a second time to really get the meaning of it.
So you want to know how you can prevent change of selection in certain cases:
For simple validation a client-side javascript would be easy, this way you can even prevent the submit-event from being fired.
For more complex validation you need the server, right. But I would not use the iterator method for this.
The "best" place for input validation would be do_handle_data, which is executed before do_handle_event, where you can react on the incoming row-selection-event and the validation result.
Regards,
Max

End of Survey or Quiz answer reflection

In Captivate 5 I'm wondering if it is possible to display all of the answers that the test or survey taker has given on the final slide?
Don't care if they are right/wrong, don't want to send them to an LMS or elsewhere, just display them back to the taker but not on the same slide as where the question is given.
Thanks in advance for any clues to how to do this!

Hello,
You are not the first to ask this question, even promised to Huan Miguel to prepare an example, but couldn't find time yet . It can be done with Advanced actions but will be a tedious process. You will have to store each answer after the Question slide in a variable. On the last slide you can then show all the variables and this will result in what you want. It depends on the type of questions too: will be easier with True/False and Multiple Choice with only one possible choice than with Questions like Sequence, Matching, Hotspot.

Missing Simple Answer

Hello,
I am doing some testing over oracle's ST and have ran into a strange case, which I don't know whether I am doing something wrong or it is a bug.
I have a simple owl ontology with two axioms:
SubClassOf( A intersectionOf(B C))
ClassAssertion(A a)
and query for instances of B. Obviously a is an instance of B but I don't get this back as an answer. If I remove the C conjunct (i.e., have the axiom SubClassOf(A B)), then I get that a is an instance of B. If I am not doing something wrong this kind of implies that such axioms are not "normalised" into SubClassOf(A B) and SubClassOf(A C) (?)
I am using Oracle 11g and accessing ST through Jena 2.6.3 and with the Jena adaptor (jena_adaptor_for_release11.2.0.2).

Hi,
I assume you are using Oracle Database release 11.2.0.2.
What you observed is expected. OWLPrime itself does not handle intersection semantics. To get what you want, there are two approaches.
1) use OWL2RL instead of OWLPRIME, or
2) use performInference("INTERSECT,INTERSECTSCOH") instead of performInference()
The 2) specifies two additional ifnerence components (on top of OWLPrime) for intersection related semantics. You need to run deleteInference first.
Thanks,
Zhe Wu
