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

  • 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

  • Is there a way I can randomize quiz questions in Adobe Captivate 6 on multiple attempts?

    I am trying to find a way in Captivate 6 to randomize quiz questions out of a pool (i.e.; 50 random questions slides are linked to a pool containing 63 questions, I want to allow for 3 attempts).  Things work great witht he first attempt, but Captivate 6 is not generating new questions when I click the Retake Quiz button after failing the first attempt.  Captivate 6 simply gives the exact same 50 questions as the first attempt in the exact same order.  Is there any way around this issue in Captivate 6?  Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have!

    Rod, just thinking out loud, and maybe this is too complex...
    Could (generic) you insert multiple random-question-slides and then control which slide is viewed based on how many quiz attemps have been made?
    That is..
    Slide 1 - question 1a
    Slide 2 - question 1b
    Slide 3 - question 1c
    On first attempt, go to slide 1, skip slide 2 and 3.  On second attempt, skip slide 1, go to slide 2, skip slide 3.  On third attempt, skip slides 1 and 2, go to slide 3.
    Could you use the cpQuizInfoAttempts variable to control the slide order with an advanced action?

  • Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

    I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
    No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
    I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
    I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
    Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply.
    Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
    Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

  • Multiple Choice Question Issues

    I am embedding a quiz within my presentation with individual
    question slides interspersed throughout the presentation. These
    questions are pulled from a couple of different question pools. I
    want to use a multiple choice question that branches to different
    parts of the presentation depending on the correct or incorrect
    answer. If the user answers the question incorrectly, I send them
    to the next slide which has two click boxes. On this slide, they
    can either click one box to move back in the presentation and
    review the material or click another box to move them forward to
    another multiple choice question. If they go back and review the
    information, they would eventually return to the same multiple
    choice question to try it again. (This is the desired navigation,
    anyway.)
    What actually happens is that when the user goes back to
    review the information and then finally returns to the question,
    the question has not been reset and still shows the incorrect
    answer marked with no way to clear it.
    I have used this same navigation on a drag-and-drop type
    question and it works fine. All the settings for the
    multiple-choice questions are set the same as in the drag-and-drop
    question.
    Any help in making this work correctly would be greatly
    appreciated.

    I can't see where that error might arise except possibly for a case where an AS2 radio is used since it appears they don't have a group property, but an AS3 radio button does.  Check to be sure that your Flash Publish Settings are set to use AS3.  AS3 errors normally have error numbers which also makes the error you quoted ring of an AS2 scenario.
    Here's a link to the file I made based on your code that works fine and doesn't display the errors you mention.  It is a CS3 file.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • Randomization of Order of Answers to Quiz Questions

    When randomizing answers to multiple-choice, and multiple-answer, questions, is there a way to lock one of the answers in place? 
    For example, I would like to have the order of (a) through (d) shuffle, but keep answer (e) as "None of the Above".  [Using Presenter 9, MS Office PowerPoint 2013, Windows 7]

    Although I have a very limited experience with Captivate and with Presenter I am not sure whether this suggestion will work.  Can you split up your A-D questions separate from the E question and thus only shuffle A-D in a script?  For example, if I were coding this in Flash (ActionScript 3.0) I would create two separate arrays, one for the A-D questions and one for the E questions/answers and perform the necessary logic against those two distinct arrays.  That way you can always keep your second array consistently appearing in the same place in your quiz.

  • Lightbox using smartshape in Quiz question

    Hi,
    I'm using one question/quiz slide and would like to create a lightbox to display different comments depending on what choice the user selects.
    In the comment lightbox, I hope to allow the user to click a X image to close the lightbox.  
    The exisiting message boxes do not give the client a look they desire. Are there any other suggestions on alternative message boxes that overlay over the the quiz question?
    Please advise.
    Thank you!
    Susanne

    You could use grouped objects that include Smart Shape buttons for the click to close the lightbox.
    But you need to be aware that the ON Success or On Last Attempt events only fire in Quiz Questions AFTER the Submit button has been clicked and any feedback captions have appeared and been dismissed.  If you want your lightbox captions to appear after the submit button is clicked, you'll need to turn off the other feedback captions.
    As far as having a different lightbox appear depending on which answer the user chooses, that's really only available for Multi-Choice quiz questions, no others (and not even multiple answer questions).  You need to use the Advanced Answer option event to trigger the appearance of the lightbox.

  • How to reveal correct answer in a quiz question

    Hello,
    I am using Captivate 5.5.
    Is there a way to allow the user to view the correct answer to a quiz question without having to keep clicking on the different options until they select the right one? I want to allow infinite attempts but equally, if they are in a hurry or just run out of patience, I want the user to see what the actual answer is straight away. Our learners are medics and they often have limited time.
    So the sequence could be something like this.
    1. User enters question page.
    2. Selects one answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears.
    3. User selects another answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears
    4. User decides that he/she wants to see the correct answer before moving on. Selects 'reveal answer' and is able to see what the correct answer is.
    5. User moves onto next slide (this could be another quiz question or any other type of slide
    In another package I have been using, we can specify a 'reveal correct answer' button which shows the correct answer straight away. Is there something like that in Captivate?
    Thanks....

    I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite.  So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes.  My bad.
    However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option.  This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected.  So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
    You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
    Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0.  Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
    If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
    This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

  • 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 answered not considered

    Hello,
    I created a multiple choice quiz with a few questions, but as I preview it (in a browser and in the project preview section of Cp), or publish it and play it (same places), the answers that I enter are not being considered, every time I keep getting the "You did not answer this question completely" message when I review the quiz after getting the score. The correct question is selected properly on each slide, where I click on the circle to the left of the correct question.
    Thank you for your help with this,
    Manuel

    Manuel,
    Your quiz question slide in this project may be corrupted.  Try opening a new blank project and insert ONE multi-choice or True/false quiz question there and test the functionality.  Does a new blank project work properly?
    If so, delete the problem slide from your existing project and re-insert new ones to replace it.  Let us know if that works.
    One more thing.  DO NOT REMOVE any of the default question slide text captions from quiz slides.  Doing that can cause strange behaviours.

  • Quiz Question

    I have a quiz question with multiple correct answers.  Do I have to create an "Incorrect Answer" on all of the various combinations that are not correct. Or can I have one "Not Correct" that affects all of the wrong answers?

    Please, don't post your credentials like phone number on a public forum.
    Do you want to change the Failure Caption just for this question slide? Double-click on it or use F2 and you will able to edit the text.
    Could you please mention the version of Captivate you are using, Lisa?  Some features are different depending on the version.
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate  in this article I tried to describe the functionality of default question slides.

  • Multiple choise question, limit number of options

    Hi,
    we have a multiple choise question with 10 possible answers. 5 is correct, and 5 is not. How can I limit so the user only can check 5 answers? Right now, the user can check all 10 and get full score.
    Im using Captivate 8.
    Kind regards,
    Pontus

    Hi,
    I am relatively new to Captivate (currently using version 7) and have also been looking at this.  I have a programming background so have been mucking around with trying to create this using advanced actions so would appreciate some advice if I've gone about it the right way or not.
    I have created 4 answers with clickable smart shapes to show whether they are selected/deselected.  I have variables to store the number of allowed answers, number of selected answers and question score (which update with the selecting/deselecting of each answer).  To keep things simple, I am assigning 1 point for every correct answer selected and only have 2 correct answers.  There are 3 separate 'submit' buttons (one worth 0 points and not included in quiz, one worth 1 point included in quiz and one with 2 points included in quiz).  Depending on the answers chosen, the relevant submit button will be made visible (and the others hidden).
    What I'm having trouble with is that the points from the submit buttons that are included in the quiz are all contributing to the total points available.  I want the question to only be worth 2 points but because I have two buttons (one worth 1 and one worth 2) that means the total points available for the quiz is 3.
    Any help on where to go from here much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris.
