Multiple Pretests in Captivate 7

I'm working on a project that have several sections, after each section there's a pretest (testing knowledge). At the end I have a final exam.
Can I have multiple pretests in Captivate 7, because so far I think it only allows one pretest per project isn't it?

You don't have to add all scores of all questions to the Total score, which will be reported to the LMS. Then the most important system quizzing variables cpInfoPercentage and cpQuizInfoPointsscored will be correct, those are reported. But some other will always take into account all the questions, like the total number of questions. That means that you'll perhaps have to create your own final score slide in the course. For the different knowledge questions you could use advanced actions to keep track of their score.
My approach would often be to create custom questions for the Knowledge questions, using standard objects, variables, widgets/interactions, and advanced (or shared) actions. And keep the default question slides only for the real quiz. Then all the system variables for the Quiz will be correct.
Or you could create only the Quiz as a separate SCORM file, to be launched from the main file, and not report the results of the main file with the knowledge quizzes. But it depends on the LMS if it allows to upload a packaged file instead of a SCO.

Multiple Quizzes with multiple results (in Captivate 6)

Hey guys, Thanks for reading!
Does anyone know if it is possible to do multiple tests with multiple results in captivate 6? or if it is possible to have a pre-test with a quiz, and have separate results for each?
I've been having a play with captivate 6 and when I put a quiz in, it overrides the results slide for my pre-test.
Looking at the results slide master properties I can choose to have results for one of my quizzes but not both (even on separate slides):
It wont even let me insert another slide based on the other result.
I would like to know if multiple quizzes with multiple results is possible in Captivate 6?, or if I am simply doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Sorry for way-late reply...
It's really more how your LMS handles 'courses' and the terminology it uses.
Essentially, most often, a 'SCORM Package' (SCO) is a 'course'. I'd rather call each SCO a 'lesson' as, to me, 'courses' should be setup in the LMS with a series of 'Lessons'.
Regardless of the terminology, each 'SCO' is launched by the LMS and one score can be recorded for it via SCORM.
So if you need multiple final scores recorded, each of those final scores need to be in their own SCO.
A common approach is a Pre-Test SCO (or 'lesson', or 'course', whatever term), a 'Content' SCO perhaps with some interspersed scored interactions, and a Post-Test SCO...all three merged together as a 'course' (or whatever term) within the LMS.
That said, as said, it really all depends on how your LMS handles various SCOs...
Clear as mud?

Multiple Quizzes using Captivate 3

I am currently using Captivate 3 and I had a very large project with multiple quizzes. Captivate was able to go through the first quiz, but every time I hit another quiz, the system would freeze.
I am looking to do multiple quizzes - does anyone know a work around????
Thanks!
Jess

Hi there
A bit of clarification if I may...
Linking to the .CP file is only the right thing to do if you constructed your links using the "Open other project" option. If you used the "Open URL or File" option, you wouldn't link to the .CP file. You would link to the .HTM page.
.CP files are project source files and you should never see them on the server.

Installing multiple versions of Captivate

Can you install multiple versions of Captivate on a single machine? I would like to install an earlier version of Captivate on my machine along with my latest version. Can this be accomplished? If so do you have any tips or tricks that might help this go smoothly.

Absolutely. I have Captivate 5.5, 6.0.1.240 and 7.0.1.237 all running on my system without any issues.
If you plan to keep all of them open simultaneously, just make sure your system can handle it. Captivate is a RAM-hungry application.

How can I have multiple quizzes in Captivate 5.5

I would like to do multiple quizzes within one module. Ideally, you would have to pass each quiz before moving on to the next section. Is that possible using Captivate 5.5?

You can have the quizzes in separate files, and call them from a main file. Or you can daisy chain the quizzes (using Open File command). Or you can use the SCORM packager. But I'm not sure if you have access to it, don't remember if it was available with CP in that version or only with the eLearning Suite.

Multiple videos in Captivate 7

If anyone has experience with this scenario, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions --
I have multiple training videos that I want to put together into a single Captivate file. Each video will be on its own separate slide, with a table of contents that navigates to each video. On some slides there will be text and pictures, in addition to the video. The output needs to be compatible with iPad, so HTML5.
Is Captivate a good tool for this, or wil the file size be prohibitive because of the video files (each video is about 15MB). If so, is there some way to smoothly integrate the videos with a link and perhaps store them in a different location on the web?
This project does not need to be compatible with an LMS, although there may be some simple quiz slides included just for the learner's benefit.

No ideas about this?

Audio over multiple slides in Captivate 5

I am new to using Captivate 5 and i'm trying to record audio in Captivate that will play while 3 slides advance on their own.
I read something on a past thread that talked about clicking a "slide divider" - I can't find the "slide divider" and about a "distribution window" opening after I record the audio - that never appears.
Can anyone help me with this? It seems like it should be easy to find.
Thanks
Emily

Hi Emily,
You can record audio to 3 slides in different ways.
Option1 :
You can record audio individually on all the three slides by invoking the Slide audio dialog for every slide.
1. On every slide you wish to record audio invoke the slide audio dialog ( from Audio >> Record to >> Slide ) and record for the single slide. Saving the recorded audio will add it to the slide you recorded.
2. You can follow step 1 for all the three slides you wish to record.
Option 2:
You can record audio to all the three slides continuously in one go. You can do this in the SLIDES audio dialog
For ex if you want to record audio for slides 1,2 and 3, then select slide 1 and invoke the slides audio dialog from Audio >> Record to >> Slides
You get a "Record from Slide" dialog. Enter the Slide numbers for which you wish to record audio and click ok.
This will open the slides audio dialog.
Slides audio dialog shows up the slides selected in the "Record from slide" dialog. Enable "Continuous play" and "SWF Preview" and Click on the recording button. This will record audio over the three slides as you narrate. Audio will be added to all the three slides. You can see the Movie (SWF) preview or the Slide number mentioned in the top right of the preview pane to know the slide number you are recording to.
If some portions of the audio spills over the next slide then you can arrange the markers in the EDIT tab. Here you can play the audio and pause at the point where you want your next slide to start and click on the button highlighted by Lilybiri. Its called the "Start Next slide here" button.
After all the recording is done click on SAVE to add audio to all the three slides.
Try out these and let me know if it works.

Branching with Multiple Quizzes on Captivate 5

HI,
As part of a training series of modules, I have to have an assessment that on successful completion directs to the next assessment and on failure directs to a list of tips.
The score of the second assessment would need to be separate from the second assessment. Is this possible in Captivate 5?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
For the moment each Captivate file can have only one Quiz, at least if you want to report to a LMS (or other solution) there will be only one Total score.
If you want the two scores to be reported, you'll need at least two files, since each assessment has to be into a file. The conditional navigation can be done with advanced actions.

How do I create multiple TEBs with one submit button on one page in Captivate 7

I've read other posts on this topic (which refer primarily to earlier versions of Captivate) and am still at a loss as to how to put multiple text entry boxes on a page with one submit button. Here's my scenario:
I am creating test questions.
Each test question has multiple text entry boxes (for numbers only).
Student should be able to enter numbers into the textboxes in any order.
Then there is one Submit button that should initiate validating all the text entries, and move to a scoring page (so I can test it). (What would be best is if this button not only did the above, but also submitted scores to the LMS. But that is not my question at this time.)
I'd like this question to be set up as a template so that I can duplicate it, be able to add or delete text boxes and change the values required in the text boxes.
Here is an image of a sample question page with multiple TEBs. The yellow boxes tell the student where they need to enter text:
Any help or direction to help is appreciated!!

I think the problem here is that Arlhoolie wants all of the different TEBs to behave as if they were part of a single interaction that submits only ONE result to the quiz. Using multiple TEBs in Captivate means that you have multiple scored objects and therefore multiple results being submitted to the quiz.
If you want a single Success or Failure result submitted to the quiz based on the results from multiple interactive objects then there really is no simple way to do it. But you could try using the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget to combine all the TEBs as slave objects that report to the Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz based on the results from the slave objects.

Multiple Quizzes - Captivate 4

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to create multiple quizzes in Captivate 4 in the same project file. I have a learning styles survey based quiz set up, and need to collect 3 varibles, one for auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Then I want to display the total for each variable at the end of my quiz, having each question containing 3 answers each for the specific categories/variables. So basically is there a way to have 3 objective ID's, one representing each quiz, then having each specific question adding a specific point to that quiz ID. Then on the last slide display a total point system one for each objective ID, so the user can see which category they fit into. Or is there another way to do this, ie. keeping track of 3 answers instead of just true/false?
Thanks!

Hi,
I don't need it published on an LMS, I just want to show the results in Captivate on another slide, after they take the quiz. For example some of the questions are:
You      are preparing a technical learning module for the next month:
You       make lots of gestures with your hands while you think.
You       draw up a diagram to help you clarify a few key ideas.
You       prepare a detailed plan of the content of the module.
You      are getting ready to write up work for the course you are taking:
You       are surprised by the pile of paper.
You       feel tired before you begin.
You       regret waiting until now to get the work done.
I want to score them as follows:
Question
Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic
1
B
C
A
2
A
C
B
Then I want a total of each category, at the end of the quiz. Would I be able to do this is Captivate? Thanks!

Where in the MIDlet life-cycle should I create multiple forms with LWUIT ?

Hi all,
I must create two LWUIT forms in my application. Where should I create the two forms ? I created the first form in the startApp life-cycle method , and when I tried to create also the second form in the startApp method then there is a NullPointerException raised when running the application !
So where , or how , should I create the second form ?
Thank you very much indeed

Captivate 7 - Embedded links not working properly

Good morning everyone. Hopefully somebody has run into this issue and knows of a fix!
I have published multiple simulations using Captivate 7 (forced re-publish of all slides, scalable HTML content, output set as SWF, and Flash Player version is 10) each with navigable main menus, table of contents, etc. On each main page, the user can click buttons to open a new topic to learn about, or to click a button to take them to a youtube video in a new tab of the topic in discussion. When users are on Mac or VMWare running Win7 (32 or 64 bit) and click on the button to open the youtube link, the click noise is produced, but the video will not open! Has anyone else run into this issue?

First suggestion: Could you use the YouTube widget? It works well. The widget will play the video inside the captivate project. It provides an option for the user to watch the video on YouTube.com, which opens the video in a new tab.
If that works for your lesson, I recommend adding new slides to your Captivate project. Place the YouTube widget for each video on its own slide. Then, assign your original buttons to jump to slide to play the appropriate video.
We ran into trouble with links to a client's internal network. However, this was a problem across the board, not in specific browsers or OS. Captivate did not recognize the symbol for spaces or special characters. The link, for instance InternalResources/Brochures/Product%20Name%20Brochure, replaces spaces with %20. We had to manually change the links to have a literal space instead of %20. (InternalResources/Brochures/Product Name Brochure)

Captivate 9 Not Loading in WINXPsp3

My office just purchased multiple licenses of Captivate 9 to use on our computers. I successfully installed it on my pc with WindowsXP service pack 3. Whenever I click on the program's icon nothing happens. It will not load. How do I try to fix this? Thanks!

Hi,
Does it gives you green loading screen when you click on Captivate icon and does not proceed further or it does not launches at all?

Having some Captivate issues...

I have having a couple issues that were not fixed with the
1.01 update.
1) After I publish a movie, Captivate will sometimes close,
without saving anything at all. The movie is fully published,
however the software basically crashes after it has been published.
(This doesn't happen everytime, but maybe once out of ever 10
movies)
2) When the software is started, the loading screen does not
always display, I sometimes have to minimize all windows, and then
click on the loading screen in order for Captivate to have its own
tab on the taskbar. The loading image will appear when I minimize
all windows, and when I click on the loading image, it will then
create the Macromedia Captivate tab that appears on the taskbar.
3) Captivate cannot handle multiple movies open at the same
time. I noticed that when I publish with more than one Captivate
movie open, the software crashes. By crash, I mean the program
closes the entire movie without saving any changes at all.
I'm running a fully updated XP w/ SP2. I've disabled all
startup processes that are not needed, as well as tried with Norton
turned off- it still didn't work.

quote:
For the issue listed as #1, have you tried changing the
output location to a folder very near the root of the C drive? I've
seen issues reported where the path was longer than Captivate
likes, and this can cause issues.
- I tried C:\Demos, and have had it continue to happen. I
normally do not put the finished product in that location, but I do
remember it failing twice when it was at C:\Demos
quote:
I have several programs that behave the same way such as
Firefly, Oracle, and a few others in which I launch the app but it
does not display in the taskbar until the application gets past the
splash screen.
- That's different. I said I have to click on the main logo
in order for the Captivate taskbar icon to appear, I really hope
that wasn't the intention of the developers.
quote:
As for issue listed as #3, I'm assuming you are referring to
having multiple instances of Captivate running simultaneously? I'm
assuming this as Captivate is a single project application. You can
only work on one project at a time. I also know that Captivate does
seem to be resource hungry. I'm not sure I've ever tried (nor had
the need) to open more than two different instances simultaneously.
So how many are you opening? Surely not 100!
- Your assumption is correct. That's a shame that the
developers left out a notice that didn't allow you to open multiple
instances. Hopefully we'll either get a notice when we try it in
the future, or get support for multiple movies open at the same
time, in future Captivate releases.
I've done about 3 before Captivate starts to act funny. It
has enough trouble with 2. I think I got up to 8 before Captivate
crashed.
I'm really looking forward to the new version of Captivate,
is there an area to address feature requests/suggestions/bug fixes
for the next release?

Captivate 7 with other versions on same machine

Have a client running several versions of Adobe Captivate on a single machine including Ver 6. She would like to keep those on the machine for use with projects created on older versions. Would like to also install Captivate version 7. I am planning to install it and choose a new directory during the install. Are there any issues I should be aware of installing Ver 7 with these other versions in place?
Thanks...

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
Yes you can install multiple version of Captivate on Single computer.
But make sure that you also upgrade the computer according to the systems requirements of Adobe Captivate 7 so that you won't run into any memory related issues , like slow performance etc. .
