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!

How can I make multiple quizzes with their own results slides within one project of Captivate 7?

In one Captivate 7 project I want to create multiple quizzes with their own results slide.
Currently I have 5 quizzes that all are linked to 1 results slide.
Is there a way to give each set of questions their own results slide?
(I saw a response to a similar question for Captivate 5 from 2012, but I couldn't get much use out of is and I figured there was an easier way in Captivate 7).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Lilybiri!
I checked out the link and it's useful, however your other plan might work better for me:
Either you link to separate CP-files that have each their quiz, or you can show intermediate results slides (see link below), but you have to know that the score that will be transmitted to a LMS is the total score of all the quizzes.
But how exactly do I link separate CP-files? Do I have to publish them first and then link them, or can I link them before I publish?
If you could shoot me a link or some advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm finishing up a huge project that is due at the end of the day and this quiz issue is one of the last things keeping me from being finished.
Thanks!

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 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.

Multiple Quizzes in One Project

I'm developing a project that teaches 4 different standards,
then has a overall assessment quiz at the end of the course.
The problem I'm running into is that the "pre" quiz after
each of the four standards cannot be independently "scored" without
adding to the total score for the project. It's as if you can only
have one quiz total slide per project, and that total slide can't
be duplicated for individual quizzes.
Any suggestions? I guess I have to break up each of the
standards into their own projects, then present the final
assessment as another independent project.
Thanks
JimmyD

Welcome to our community, JimmyD
I think you are spot on. There is currently no way within
Captivate to have multiple quizzes in the same project. I'm not
even sure if that would be possible from a technical standpoint.
But I've seen a few folks ask about it here. Because of that, I
would strongly encourage you and anyone else that sees a need for
this capability to alert the Captivate Development team by
completing a Wish Form.

Multiple quizzes

Is there a way to have multiple quizzes within 1 captivate project? I want to insert a quiz at the end of each major section of the presentation and if the user fails a section quiz, he'll be redirected to the beginning of that section. In total, I'd like to have 3 separate quizzes for the presentation.

Each Captivate file can have only one Quiz (SCORM requirement I heard). You don't tell which version you are using, nor if you have to report to a LMS. When reporting as a SCO only the total result will be reported, that is the one that is stored in the quizzing system variables.
You can however with advanced actions calculate subtotals and display them to the user. I don't know if this post could help you:

PS: if you have CP6 or later, there is also a Pretest, but that is not what you'll want to use in this case

How can I make multiple quizzes within one Captivate project?

Hi guys! Really liking Captivate 5.5, especially the way random question slides can lift questions out of a question pool...very elegant!
Sadly though, I've come up against a bit of a wall. In my project, I want to have 3 separate quizzes that all use the same question pool; a 10, 30 and 50 question-long quiz. Each one needs to have its own results page.
It's easy enough to see what I mean by looking at the screenshot below:
The idea was to have about 105 slides in total, with slides 10 - 20 being the 10 quiz slide, 21 - 51 being the 30 question quiz and 52 - 102 being the 50 question quiz.
There are three invisible buttons placed over those 10, 30, 50 text boxes. In the picture, the '10 question' button would jump to slide 10, the '30 question' button would jump to slide 21, and the '50 question' button would jump to slide 52, jumping the user to the start of their designated tests.
Though I can create the 10 random question "block" easy enough, when it comes to adding the 30 question "block" it just adds the new random questions to the existing random questions. I want three separate quizzes, each with their own results screens please. (I don't want to daisy-chain to external projects, because the results of each test need to be used within the homepage.)
It just adds them on to the existing block!! Argh!!
Little bit ticked off with Adobe...the reason their products are so incredible is because they put no constraints on the user, and you can use their tools to create things even the developers never dreamed of. Like in Photoshop for example, I bet when the dropshadow fx was created, the developers never realised that it would be used to give a metallic 'stamped' look to text by turning it to white and applying it just inside the text.
Captivate, though amazing most of the time, has a nasty habit of stomping on my toes. You can't set grade boundaries and have quizzes give out grades A+ to F- for example. You can only have 'pass' and 'fail', thus making it rather pointless for use in schools, contrary to how the program is advertised. Another example would be when I wanted to create a replay button. I thought that a button that jumped to the slide it was on would be a simple, no-BS replay button, but for some reason you can't make a button jump to its current slide. I downloaded a widget that worked in the end, but I wish Adobe would get off my back and let me do what I want!
Anyway, if you could help me out here it would be grand

I must say I have a little sympathy for the Captivate developers on this occasion. As you say, they've created an application that does so much, that when you eventually run into a hard boundary of some kind, the effect is somewhat jarring. However, every application, no matter how good, has limits. I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to asking the Adobe Captivate Development Team for enhancements (I think I've logged over 70 enhancement requests for Captivate 6 alone).
In your case, you want to have three different quizzes in one project file, each with it's own separate Quiz Results page. Lilybiri's blog explains how to set up your own faux Quiz Results pages using system variables and custom user variables, but you're going to find this to be quite a lot of trouble. Even if YOU want to consider these as three separate quizzes, as far as Captivate is concerned they're just one big quiz with 50 questions. So Captivate will calculate it's internal results based on a 50 question quiz, even if your users select the 10 question version. So achieving a final Pass/Fail result is going to be problematic at best.
As Lilybiri suggested, your better strategy would be to break this up into separate modules so that you can get your three separate quiz results (all done in standard Captivate) as well as correct results based on the actual number of questions done by the user.
As far as grades A-F is concerned, there's nothing to stop you from using Advanced Actions and User Variables to calculate the user's score as a grade. You need a user variable that stores the user's grade (e.g. var_Grade). And you need a fairly complex Conditional Advanced Action (e.g. caa_CalculateGrade) with several clauses each of which goes something like:
If
cpQuizInfoPointsscored is lesser or equal to [highest score for a particular grade]
AND
greater or equal to [lowest score for a particular grade]
Actions
Assign var_Grade with [the appropriate grade for that range of scores]
Your conditional action will need one of these clauses for each separate grade. Once your variable has been assigned a grade based on the user's score, you can display it in a text caption somewhere on the quiz results page or on a slide thereafter with suitable commendations/ commiserations.

Integrating Dreamweaver and captivate? -- multiple scos multiple quizzes

I'm new to Captivate (and SCORM too) so please be kind.
I'm working on a project that has several individual SCO's
created using Dreamweaver. Each SCO has a Captivate 3 quiz
(separate SCO) at the end (all in SCORM 1.2 -- a requirement of the
client's LMS engine) for assessment. All of the SCO's (Dreamweaver
'lessons' and Captivate Quizzes) pass the ADL Conformance tests.
BUT...
When loaded into the LMS, each quiz results overwrites the
previous quiz result. That is, the quizzes are not reported as
independent 'tests' so that the results are reported separately. Is
there anyway to require (or code) each quiz to be retained by the
LMS as an individual Test?
Is this an impossible task? Is it a limitation of SCORM 1.2?
A limitation of Captivate? A limitation of my poor tired brain?
Please help!

Kat,
SCORM 1.2 does not allow for 'sequencing', which is jumping
between
separate SCOs without returning to the LMS. SCORM 1.3/2004
allows for
that but, of course, the LMS has to support that
functionality as
well...which isn't an easy task.
Without sequencing support, the SCO has just one ID which
everything is
tracked-back to in the LMS. And in either version of SCORM,
there can
only be one lesson_status and one score_raw value - so each
lesson can
only have one such value.
So if you put your SCOs together into one lesson and one
manifest,
unless the manifest lists each SCO separately with their
unique IDs (I
think, I'm not clear on how sequencing actually works), each
time a quiz
score/status is sent back to the LMS it's being recorded for
that one
overall SCO ID.
Far better to just keep your SCOs as separate lessons, upload
them into
the LMS, and let the LMS manage the organization and
launching of them,
especially as SCORM 1.2 so each SCO's score can be recorded
separately.

Adobe captivate multiple quizzez within a single project

Hello I am trying to create a test that includes 6 different exams, but i want the usert to have to pass each exam with at least a 75% before they can access the next quiz. I am very new to captivate. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you

You will need 6 different Captivate projects, each of which will have one quiz (exam). You can set the passing percentage for each project file to 75% under Quiz Settings > Pass Fail. To force the user to pass each module of your course before they can do the next one, you really need to be serving up your course content via a Learning Management System. The LMS usually handles that side of it. If packaging your course modules as a multi-SCO SCORM course for your LMS, you'll ideally be using Adobe's Elearning Suite 6, which comes with the Multi-SCORM Packaging tool. The version that comes with ELS 6 can accommodate more of the SCORM rules than previously possible in earlier versions.

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.

Multiple Quizzes in a project with Branching

Hello,
I am creating a project with branching - based on some
criteria, a user will take a path that will not bring them back to
a common quiz at the end. Each path should have its own quiz in the
end. How do I make only one of the quizzes' results to be counted
on the LMS?
For example, the course is about a certain process and based
on my role, at some point I will choose a path that teaches me how
to do my part of the process. At the end, I will be asked questions
for my part only and I want to see the scores on the LMS only for
that one quiz.
Thank you!

Hi.
I'm very interested in the branch-awareness feature.
Here's my scenario (in a nutshell).
People are attending ONE event out of 4 in different geographic locations. A, B, C, D.
Each event has several sessions that are elective. People can go to any combination of sessions they'd like within those available at the event. Let's say sessions X, Y, Z for simplicity's sake.
Each session has a series of questions to test retention. Let's say questions *1, *2, *3 for now.
All in ONE quiz file.
1. Learners access the quiz and its introduction page.
2. Choose the first event, in this case event C.
3. Land on the event C landing slide that contain links to first questions of each session.
4. Select session Z.
5. Land on first question of event C, session Z.
6. Answer (submit) questions Z1, Z2, Z3 from that session CZ.
7. Go to the event C main menu (upon submitting the Z3 question and "continue"). This is an alternate event C menu that contains a slight modification: now a "Those were all the sessions I attended, take me to the quiz results page] + links to other sessions branches for event C.
8. Depending on the choice on step 7, learner chooses another session's series of questions OR is taken to the final quiz results page. Score is computed at an 80% passing score ONLY counting the questions that HAVE been answered, not all the other questions in sessions not attended.
Does this make sense? Will it work on Captivate 6 via branch-aware quizzing?
Thanks.

When trying to publish or preview multiple slides Captivate 7 crashes

When I go to publish the file it crashes the whole program – I get a new window pop up, but it is completely blank and I have to close down and restart captivate to do anything.
When I want to preview (except for the single slide I’m on), it does the same thing – opens a pop up which is blank and I think crashes the program again. I can only preview using the web and the therefore the entire project at a time.

Multiple Lesson Course- Separate projects?

I just realized that you cannot have multiple quizzes in one project, and am hoping for some advice. I have a course that has many lessons, with a quiz at the end of each lesson. Originally I planned on it being one big project, but that can't happen because of the quiz restriction. Should I make each lesson its own file? Is there a way to link them together with a table of contents like I was planning on? Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Hi.
I think Aggregator can solve your problem very well.
Steps:
1. Create Captivate projects, one for each of your lessons(containing Quiz at the end). Publish them and generate each of its SWF files.
2. Create a new Aggregator project from File>New>Aggregator project.
3. Add these SWFs to your Aggregator project.
4. Publish the Aggregator project.
This would give you a single SWF/EXE file, which would contain all your lessons listed in the TOC, with their own quizzes.
Thanks

What is the total number of quizzes you have have in any one module in CP6

As per the heading, is the a limit?
Cheers,
Rossco

Lieve is correct. But you need to be aware that with custom question slides and faux quiz results slides you cannot expect each "quiz" to act the same way as Captivate's normal quiz does, especially when it comes to Review Mode. Performing a Retake Quiz (where the scores are all reset from the Quiz Results slide) would also require some Advanced Actions trickery. But even then, if you were to use the actual Retake Quiz button from the actual Quiz Results slide then it would reset ALL scores of all quiz slides and interactive objects in the entire module.
So you need to think the design through carefully if trying to fudge multiple quizzes in a single module.
