Modifying Quiz Question Format/Content

Issue: When we modify a quiz question in PowerPoint and then
go to the Quiz Manager the entire slide deck reverts to the format
before the changes, regardless of being saved previously.
Has anyone had this happen..please help.
I am trying to make edits/changes to a long presentation that
I need to deliver tomorrow and I keep losing the work I am doing.
Is there a better way to make the changes to the slides?
Thank you,
Scott

You can't modify quiz questions in the presentation itself -
you need to make those changes in the quiz manager itself. You can
adjust font size, lay out, etc on the slide itself, but not the
content

  • Quiz question formatting

    Is there any fix in the works for controlling how Quiz
    Manager formats quiz questions/answers? Every time we need to make
    an edit and go back into Quiz Manager, we have to reformat our quiz
    slides. This is extremely time consuming and frustrating. Please
    Adobe, put some formatting controls into the quiz manager (such as
    font size), or fix your program in such a way as to not touch the
    formatting that we do to our quiz question slides in
    Powerpoint.

    I have worked a lot with presenter and have manually formated
    the look of the questions after the slide has been generated and
    have not ever had an error. I have changed location, spacing, font,
    and size and added content to quiz slides, all without incident.
    Are you using Presenter 6.2? This may be an issue of using an
    older version of Presenter.

  • Quiz questions will not retain format when question is changed.

    OK forum folks. I'm working on my first e-learning project and have ran into a problem with question formating. The instructions/help basically tell you to click here and click there. I can easily figure that out. The questions I seem to have are quite a bit deeper.
    I have a predefined template which is company approved. I have created master slides in the question pool for both a 4 item match and a 5 item match (I have found if I add a line to the 4 matching line quiz the line spacing and formatting changes). The placeholder questions are essentially non-questions.
    I duplicate the master slide in the question pool to maintain the original format (spacing, location, etc.).
    I change the placeholder questions on the duplicated slide to the real question (slide is still in the slide pool)
    The formatting (font, spacing, locations, etc.) change on the new (edited) questions and require reformatting.I have also tried copying the master question slide to the filmstrip and editing the copied slide questions in the filmstrip. I receive the same results.
    Is there are way I can create masters in the current format so I can use the approved templates, edit the questions and not have to reformat the slide after the questions have been changed?
    Also, is there a way to lock the formatting of the questions? If I want to add/delete a new question or line to the slide, it would be great to be able to not have to reformat the slide for the change.
    I look forward to your answers.
    Thank you.

    I am trying to deal with the same issue. The master slides are more about background elements and navigation buttons, but they do not seem to allow for the addition of quiz elements.
    I have come up with a workaround that I hope will work. What I am doing is creating a new project that becomes my quiz question layout library (Let's call this Project 2). In this project I add the various types of questions I will be using in my project (multiple choice with three choices, multiple choice with five, true/false, etc...). I get all the quiz elements in place for each type of question (the header, question, submit/clear buttons, review area, etc...).
    These slides serve as my Master slides for my actual project (Project 1). I can copy and paste the appropriate layout from Project 2 to Project 1 and then change the questions themselves.
    I am sure I will find out the downside of this soon enough...
    There is no doubt the creation of masters for quiz questions needs work, actually it needs just to exist!

  • Format Quiz Questions

    I'm using Contribute CS3 version 4.1 and creating quiz questions. One of my questions needs to be formatted in a specific way for readability and understandability. Nothing I've tried seems to work, it keeps appearing as a run on sentence - very ugly for my needs. Any suggestions??

  • Stuck in course before quiz question

    Hi. I have a course where users get to a quiz question, then after going backwards to review content prior to that quiz question, then upon trying to go forward again, gets stuck on the content slide right before that quiz question and can never move forward again.
    Quiz is set to Answer All, allow backward movement
    Course is locked for every slide, Advnace by user

    Hi,
    Please check the number of attempts you have allowed per question, if the attempt set per question is one, the slide would get locked and would not allow any further attempts to be made
    Please check the attempts for each question, modify it with number that you would like to allow.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with First Quiz Question

    When I try to go back BEFORE answering the first quiz
    question, when I move forward again to the first question, it tells
    me that "You did not answer the question completely"and it will not
    allow me to answer this question or any additional questions. (I
    have set the option to use the BACK button in a quiz.) If I answer
    the FIRST question, it allows me to go backwards on any additional
    questions. Why can't I move backwards before I answer the first
    question? Is there something I am missing?

    As Mzedella said, my understanding is that backing out of the
    quiz (going backwards past the first question) costs the user an
    attempt, so if you've only allowed one attempt, the questions are
    considered not answered....
    We have a mix of content and questions (not a single block of
    quiz questions), and wanted to allow backward movement. We solved
    this problem by making the first slide a question. That way, the
    user is always in the quiz and they can move backward as much as
    they like.
    If you can't think of a good question for the first slide
    (often a question about their background knowledge is good), you
    can always make it 'are you ready to begin?'. A little clumsy, but
    you get the functionality you want.
    We further required all questions to be answered, so users
    can't skip ahead past unanswered questions. By removing the nav
    bar, but including a menu (via skin), users can easily review the
    material, but are still required to at least click through all the
    slides. This works for our application, but you many want something
    different.

  • Quiz Question Defaults

    Is there any way (modifying Presenter XML files) to change
    the Quiz Question
    defaults for the "Clear" button option so that the Clear
    button is not
    rendered on each quiz page? I occasionally overlook resetting
    the checkbox
    on the quiz question which requires accurate positioning
    adjustment of the
    Submit button after-the-fact.

  • Quiz question: Is this possible?

    My company is evaluating Captivate for SCORM use.
    My question is this:
    Is it possible to create a project course with multiple content sections and quiz questions scattered throughout with the results posted at the end? Keep in mind that the user may quit and come back later to finish the course and remaining quiz questions.
    I assume you would use a TOC and bookmarking.  I just need to know if this is even possible.
    Thanks

    Quizzes in Captivate are always considered as one quiz, even if question slides are scattered all over the file. That is not a problem.
    Bookmarking is normally turned on, and since you will be using a LMS it is the LMS that will take care of that if it has that functionality.
    I'm however not sure, should have to test it in our LMS that the Quiz attempt during one session can be continued during a next session. Intuitively I think that CP will send a score after each session.

  • Quiz Questions provide no selectable answers in HTML5 Publish

    I am having issues with quizzing, whereas HTML5 format doesn't allow the user to select answers in quiz slides…
    I am publishing a Captivate 7 project to two separate LMS' for beta testing purposes.
    When I publish the project as HTML5 only, the quiz question appears as well as possible answers, but the form field does not appear, therefore rendering the user completely incapable of selecting an answer.
    Publishing the same project as swf and HTML5 renders perfect results. (Quiz slide, selectable answers, and form field all show up and work)
    Any advice?

    I solved my own problem.
    I had inserted a background image into each of the question master slides.
    When looking at either the master slide or timeline slide, the slide would lokk good. All text and slide objects, including answers, would show up on the slide as they should.
    However, once published, the background image would cover the form fields used to select correct answers. This not only prevented the user from selecting an answer, but also caused major issues with audio and CC tracks after the quiz.

  • Quiz Questions Randomly Skip

    I have noticed that my quizzes, which consist of transparent
    button interactions, are randomly skipping slides in my latest
    lessons (been over a year since my last ones).
    Has anyone else had this issue before? I tried fixing this by
    applying an additional invisible button that pauses after .5
    seconds to keep slides from being skipped, which works, but keeps
    the incorrect caption from displaying.

    Michael,
    Were you able to solve your slide-skipping problem?
    Could you please clarify -- Was Captivate skipping quiz slides or content slides?
    If "quiz slides," then we actaully have had a similar problem, which also happened to courses that were part of a set, so to create a new course, we started with some slides from the previously-developed course. We're wondering whether Captivate's problem of skipping questions was related to the developer's having changed Captivate's default 3-minute quiz-slide-duration to 1 minute. When he changed it back to 3 minutes, the quiz seemed to function correctly. However, at one point we were also wondering whether part of the problem may have been related to several courses being related, i.e., having some similar slides.
    What have you learned?
    Thank you!

  • Can I modify a question slide to include more than 5 qs in same slide

    Hey everyone.
    I'd like to know If I can modify a question slide to include more than one question in the same slide.
    I'd like to include a slide with audio and some video in the left page and on the right page I'd like to include a q slide that can have more than one question to pertain to the input in the left page. But I wouldnt want to dupicate the left page.I'd like to include one page with input and the other page (right) with questions ( fill in the blank, multiple choice etc) just one slide of course.
    I don't want to fill up the project with a bunch of question slides. The purpose of the activity is for the participant to listen to the input only once and start getting quizzed ( extracting detailed info, forecasting etc etc)
    Thanks

    Please take a look at the screenshots,
    you can see how I have selected to execute the following advanced action on the submi tbutton howver there are a number of things going wrong and I doubt it's cause of the syntax as I've done ertythig as instructed!
    I'm executing the actions once the Submit button is clicked.
    I've placed the actions in the same "file" TF1 -TF5.
    After TF5 I've placed the show to shoe the results ...
    QUESTION:
    This action was created seperateley cause it's  a standard action and autmatically sent me elsewhere, not the same file... ???
    Is that right?
    I'm not getting a slide to show the feedback.
    Why?
    Timeline in question...???

  • Captivate 6 - Published - PDF does not play quiz questions

    I just published my captivate 6 presentation.  I am launching the .pdf file to view.  At the end, the quiz questions do not work.  I get a white screen and not my questions.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    Below is a screen shot of the published settings.  The whole training presentation plays as expected.  Then when it gets to the quiz questions I get a white screen and nothing happens. 
    After I publish, I go to the zip file and run the pdf version. 
    This is for someone to view the training outside of our LMS system.
    Here are the preferences ....

  • Extra line after first item in quiz questions

    I just started using Captivate 7.  I made a template with some quiz questions and there is an extra line after the 2nd radio button in the templates for multiple choice and true false questions.  Is that normal ?
    Screen shot.

    I'm experiencing the same problem, also on Captivate 7.
    The alignment is fine on the master slide, but every time I load a multiple choice or true/false question the "B" answer appears like this.
    I've tried it with every theme and the same thing is happening. I've also had the program uninstalled and reinstalled and still the error is there.
    I've searched on different forums, but no one seems to have the answer.

  • Learners unable to enter answers to quiz questions

    I've launched our first course and I'm coming across an issue that I haven't encountered as we tested the course.
    I've created the course in Captivate 5.
    All of our learners are using their own computers to complete the training, and I have no control over what equipment they are using.
    A couple have reported that they are unable to enter answers to the quiz question. For example, it won't even let them click on the buttons for multiple choice answers. Those that have reported the issue seem to have older computers (around 5 years old), but say they've updated to the new version of flash player.
    We've tested the module on somewhat newer computers, and we haven't come across that particular issue at all.
    What could cause such a problem?
    sanna

    I think this is what I will try. After I had a chance to talk to those that encountered the issue they said they had moved backwards in the course.
    It never occured to me when testing the course to skip backwards and forwards. Lesson learned.
    Now when you say include a 'scored' button, what do you mean?
    I already have a 'next' button at the beginning of the course that the learner clicks to get started. It's an image button. I see when I look at the properties for that image button that there is an option to include it in the quiz. Is that what you meant? Set it to be included in the quiz?
    Does it make a difference whether or not points are assigned to it, or whether or not it is included in the results?
    Thanks

  • How do you change quiz questions to look like your PowerPoint template without doing it manually on

    We have a customized PowerPoint template with our branding colors and font applied. We need the Presenter quiz questions to have the same customized look. We need the questions to appear differently than the default, and we need our branding colors applied. I have been searching in Google, have read the Adobe Presenter 9 user manual, and cannot figure out if we can do this without applying the changes manually on each quiz question written. Is there a place in Presenter where we can customize the entire quiz question page? If so, where and how can you accomplish this?

    I know it's an old thread, but Rob did do a good job of explaining how to setup a master slide for your Quizzes. Not sure that all steps still apply, but you get the general idea.
