Multiple Quiz Questions on one slide

Hello Captivators,
I am using Captivate 3. It seems a waste of space to have one
quiz question per slide. Is there a way to have more than one
question per slide?
Thanks,
eholz1

Hi eholz1
Sorry, but there is no current way to combine multiple
questions on a single slide. If you would like to suggest this
feature to be considered in a future release, you may do so by
clicking
here and completing the form you will find there.
Cheers... Rick

How can I get multiple likert questions on one slide?

Hi,
I have 9 questions I want to ask in a Likert survey in Captivate 7.
When I insert a Likert question slide, it defaults to only show 1 question per slide.
I want the learner to see all 9 questions on 1 slide.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
thanks!

In Captivate 7, if you select the Likert scale and go to the Quiz Properties tab, under the General tab you can change the Answers from 1 to a higher number and get a nice list of items to go with your disagree to agree list.
That's my relevant to the thread comment and here for posterity to anyone looking for the answer to it.
But I came here because I want a total from the Likert and it doesn't exist during the lesson, since it doesn't report scoring back to the student.
I've been reading your older blogs. Lilibiri, great stuff that makes me wish there were a simpler way in the newer version, but I can't find it. Basically we are creating a question series that becomes a self evaluation checklist, and want to assign the point range to the answers, 1 for disagree up to 5 for Agree, adding up "positive traits".
Was originally thinking of using multiple choice set as a pretest but there's a bunch of variables and actions to write for that, and I saw your post about a simple text entry, which looks more manageable and I'll have to figure that out.
But the simple clean familiar look of the Likert ... I wish there were an easy way to just get those numbers in a total, now that it's in version 7 even. So annoying that it pushes my procrastination button and I don't even want to work on the rest of my lesson!

Four yes, no type of questions in one slide

What I like to do is to put four true-or-false (yes-or-no) type of questions in one slide if possible.
I achieved this using yes, no widget (I cannot remember where I got it)
But in this widget, I can just choose yes or no without any feedback.
But someone frome the top asked me to add feedback on each question.
Can we achieve this kind of functionality using advance action?
If possible, I would like to make each question appear one at a time.
For example, the first question appear. After users select either yes or no, then
appropriate feedback appear with arrow buttow. If youers click on the arrow button,
the second yes-or-no question will appear etc. I attached a picture to illustrate my point.
What is the best practice to achieve this kind of activity? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Lieve is right, whether you are deploying it for LMS or not is vital.
Also if you like you can insert 8 transparent buttons for i.e. 2 for each section, under button properties if you like you can set Reporting to -- Include in Quiz, a button would by default have Hint, Success Failure caption, enable the one you like, also you can initiate an action to make rest appear once you click arrow.
This might be a little longer route to achive it, but should work.
Thanks,

Multiple text captions on one slide?

Hi, i have question about multiple text captions on one slide of my project. I want o change content of text caption by clicking on different buttons on the slide.
There are 4 buttons on slide and in the middle of the slide there is text caption. Is it possible to change content of the caption by clicking the button or is there some way to do it different (hide or show different captions etc..)?
thx martin

Hi Mister C
I'm curious about something. You are using an action I've seen suggested elsewhere here. I use a similar approach but found that I had issues with the approach you are showing.
My approach is to use the rdcmndGotoFrame rdinfoCurrentFrame - 5
Personally, I've seen it where the way you point out failed in many cases for me. By "backing up" the playhead five frames or so, things then worked as the playhead drifted back to the pause point.

Several questions in one slide

Hi. Can we have several questions in one slide? Example of a quiz true / false. Is it possible to have three true / false questions on the same page?
This page contains a single "Send" button. Button that links to a single page response. Is it possible ? Thanks

Each radiobuttons widget has an associated variable, that will store the answer. In this case either 'True' or 'False'. You can insert that variable in a Text Caption, using the small X button in the Format accordion of the Properties panel for the Text Caption. When the user clicks one of the radiobuttons, this caption will show the chosen answer. If you want to be able to control the content for the variable (perhaps resetting it to empty) you need the enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter, aka CaptivatePro/Captivatedev. It is available for free on his website (Google Jim Leichliter).

Demo of multiple questions on one slide

URGETNT::::
I need a link to multiple questions (like 5) on one slide and then be able to submit the responses to an e-mail address. Can someone please reply with a link asap before 11am (EDT) today? I need to show it for a presentation.
Thanks..

Hello,
Sorry but apparently we are living in different timezones, so missed your answer because I was in dreamland.
If you want to report to a LMS, you probably want to have a score for each of the questions on the slide. That is a problem with the default Question slides, because they are always scored black/white: only when all the answers are correct will the user gets a score, otherwise it will be 'zero'. Partial scoring is not possible with default Question slides. Please, if you have some time, fill in a feature request to have this functionality high on the priority list of the Adobe developers.
Two possibilities:
If you want to continue using the default Question slides, have each question on a different slide and try to make the experience for the user as fluent as possible.
Create your own question slides, using the standard objects, user variables and advanced actions. But I warn you: this gives you total control, it is possible to report to a LMS but it wil mean a lot more development time. If you are interested about this second approach, I have been publishing some articles about customizing quizzes. Some of them are mentioned in this blog post:

Multiple quiz questions

Does anyone know a quick way of putting more than one quiz
question on a single slide?

Hi Ailse,
Your idea of using masks is a good one. You're thinking like
a true Captivate expert!
You could also try taking a screenshot of the questions on
each slide, cropping them to show only the interesting parts, then
inserting those images on your Question slides so it looks like the
other questions are all present on a single slide.
Only the actual Captivate question would be "live" on a given
slide and your images wouldn't reflect what the user answered on
previous slides, but it should be fairly convincing, especially
given the circumstances.
If you want to go all out, temporarily change the font color
of each question to gray before taking your screenshot, and the
questions will appear "disabled" when you import them into
Captivate. This would give the user a reason why the "non-live"
questions are not working on a given slide.
Regards,
John

Hello,
In this blog posting one of the use cases I tried to explain is having more than one T/F question on a slide, using widgets for customized questions. There are more blog posting pointing to customizing questions.

Multiple text boxes on one slide

Hi all-
I want the user to enter their First Name, Last Name, then User ID on one slide.
I am using 3 text boxes.
1. I want the cursor to be positioned in the First Name text box when the user gets to that slide.
2 I am not validating their information but don't want them to get past a box if they don't enter anything.
How can I accomplish #1 and #2?
Thank you as always.
Erika

Hi gtmatt22
Well, in case you are interested, I may have discovered a way
to accomplish what you initially asked without the use of a
question slide.
Add your text entry boxes. Then stagger them so the second
doesn't appear until the first has been successfully answered.
Configure the start point just beyond the pause point. Repeat the
process for each text box.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Multiple pans/zooms on one slide?

Any way to do multiple KB pans/zooms on one slide?
In iMovie, you can duplicate a segment, and reverse it. If I could do that to a slide with KB, then reverse it, and change the "end", this would work for me.
But when I "Duplicate" a slide with KB, the KB is lost, and I can't see how to reverse the KB.
I know I could do this manually, but to get the "end" of on slide to match exactly the "start" of the next seems difficult.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

Several T/F questions on one slide.

Hello a Dept rep wants to have 5 true or false questions on one page. Is this possible with Captivate 7? (may not be a requirement to report answers)
Side question: Are we able to use more than 8 options in the matching sections?

Have a look at: Widgets and Custom Questions - part 1 - Captivate blog in which I explain how to create some custom question slides.
Although it was written for an older version, the widgets are now replaced by learning interactions, but the work flow is pretty much the same.
Forgot about Matching, no that is the limit. You could create a custom one with Drag&Drop?

Multiple mp4 files in one Slide

When I place two mp4 files in one slide, neither one plays. Each play fine in a separate slide, but grouped together they do not.
Any idea why?

Hi Craig!
I'm good and I hope you and your family are fine too. I am happy to hear you back on MacBreak Tech, I always enjoyed the discussion and missed the podcast when it was down.
The situation are two small (1-2 meg)mp4 files, and we're placing them one on top of the slide and one below it, sort of a comparison view. They should both play at the same time on the slide, and all we're getting is the background color of the slide showing. When we played them on the slide separately, no problems.
It is the oddest thing I ever saw. These files were originally avi files that I converted back to mp4 format with h.264 so I could more easily work with them in Keynote and then eventually, FCP. If you have any wild ideas, I'm all ears.
Thank you and nice to hear from you again.

Multiple Audio files on one slide

Hello,
I want to have multiple audio files in a table on a single slide.
Also, these audio files should play when I click on that particular file (which will be placed in a cell in the table)
How do I do this?
I see an option with "Play sound on click" but it plays when I click anywhere.
This doesn't give me the ability to place multiple files and thus be able to play them as needed.
Thanks.

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Multiple click boxes on one slide; Pausing project

I'm using Captivate 5.5.
I have four click boxes on a slide. Three click boxes upon clicking show an image and then show a success caption. The forth click box shows a success caption but also is set to "pause project until user clicks."
Unfortunately, if any of the three click boxes are clicked it advances the playhead even though the forth click box was never clicked. How can I pause the project until only the forth click box is activated no matter if the other three click boxes have been previously clicked?

Hello,
Default behavior of click boxes is to trigger the simple action that is assigned to it AND at the same time to release the play head. Even if those 3 click boxes had a pause, at the same moment as the fourth, this would have happened. If you put the pausing point of the fourth click box later than the pausing of the first three, it will work fine if the user clicks only one out of 3 click boxes.
If you replace the simple action by a (eventually one-line) advanced standard action, the play head is not released:

Multiple failure captions on one slide...?

Can anyone offer any advice with this please?
I use Captivate 3 to produce training for software applications. In the past I have tried to limit the amount of buttons and/or click boxes that have failure captions to a maximum of one or two per slide. This is purely to prevent the problem where a previous failure caption appears when an incorrect option is chosen later on in the same slide, even where the click box/button is clearly separated from the next one on the time line and the 'focus' is changed as well. This removed the problem but incresed the file sizes
So, in trying to keep the filesize of my software application movies down I have started building cp files where I have fewer slides with graphic elements appearing and disappearing throughout....the difference in the published files is huge but I now have the problem back where I may have several failure captions corresponding to several click boxes/buttons on the same slide. The 'bad behaviour' is that, again, the first failure caption will appear all the way through any incorrect choices made on any of the remaining click boxes/buttons on that slide.
I have separated all the buttons etc. from each other on the time line but the problem persists. Can I really only have one or two click boxes/buttons with a failure caption on each slide or am I missing something?

Hi there
Have you examined the properties for the objects and enabled the pause for the failures?
