Partial scoring on quiz questions

I'm trying to create an assessment tool for literacy students, and there are some questions that I want to create as fill-in-the-blanks. I am now using Captivate 7, and would like to figure out a way to have several blanks on a question, and have it mark by blank. Currently it's an all or nothing marking, which really doesn't work because the student would have to get each and every blank on the page correct in order to get the question right. Is there a way to get marks per blank??

Hello,
Partial scoring is only available for MCQ type of questions in Captivate.
If you are willing to create custom FIB slides, this will be possible. You'll use validated Text Entry Boxes, that can have a score attached, one for each blank. I have explained such a FIB question slide with widgets (TextArea) but the problem is that scoring is than much more difficult if you want to report the score. Perhaps you could have a look at:

Partial Scoring on Matching Quiz Slide in Captivate 8

Hi,
I tried searching for the answer to this question before posting but I only located an answer for Captivate 5.5. Is it possible to do partial scoring for a matching quiz slide in Captivate 8. If not, does someone know a workaround? It would also be helpful to me to know which questions slides allow partial scoring. I am posting my trainings on an intranet site and not an LMS so I don't have the capability to do partial scoring from the LMS.
Thanks,
Jeff

Only one type of question allows partial scoring: MCQ with multiple correct answers.
Workaround is to create a custom question slide. The score can be stored in a variable, you'll have to collect the variable. Have some blog posts about partial scoring in custom question slides, before it appeared for MCQ in Cp. Here is an example:
Widgets and Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog
I once created a custom matching question slide for a client (who never paid), using the D&D interactive widget from InfoSemantics, but that is only for SWF output. And it had partial scoring.

Partial Scoring Not Working - HELP!

I'm creating a quiz for a webinar in Captivate 7. I've set up three multiple choice questions, and set the maximum point value to 40 points for each. I'd like to assign 10 points to each "wrong" answer, and allow 40 points total for the correct answer. I thought this could be done with partial scoring, but when I select the individual answers under "advanced answer option" it will not save any point value other than zero. What am I doing wrong? Even when I select "multiple answers" it will not let me assign any value other than zero.
Help!

I see, but you have to be aware that the total score of the question can only be obtained if all answers are checked? I don't think that is what you want. Example: if the user only checks the best answer and obtains 40 point, but there are three answers at 10 points each, he will have 40 out of 70 points! Is this what you want?

Captivate 7 Partial Scoring: Cannot set partial scores

Sorry. Probably missing something obvious.
I've a multiple choice quiz in Captivate 7.
What I'm after is on each question there's a correct answer, and the rest are wrong to various degrees.
So for correct answer: 10 points
for next best answer: 7 points
for next best answer: 3 points
for worst answer: 0 points.
To implement:
set quiz type to Graded
on overall quiz properties I ticked "Partial Score"
then on each answer I expected to be able to enter a Points score under "Advanced Answer Option".
However I cannot save any change to the Points score for any answer other than the first one. For all the others nomatter what I type as score gets changed to zero when I press Enter.
What am I missing?
TIA
Steve
Quiz Properties:
Answer Properties (with score that never changes):

I have two questions related to partial scoring.
1) I have set up a multi-answer quiz with a question pool. I would like to turn off partial scoring for each of the MA questions. I don't see this option on Random Question slides.
The only way that I have found to make this adjustment is to move all of the questions in the pool into the Main Project, then turn off partial scoring, then move the questions back to the pool. Is there setting that I missed that can turn off partial scoring without having the move the questions around?
2) I would like to change the value of the points for the random questions. When I adjust the value in the Quiz Properties window, it will change the Max Score but it will not affect the score for each slide. For example, I have a 5 question quiz. I adjust the point value on each random slide from 10 to 5. After performing the quiz, the quiz results window will show that my score is 50 and the maximum score is 25. Then, I discovered that if I move the questions from the pool into the Main Project, I am able to adjust the points to any value. Then I will move the questions back into the pool and the question values are set so that my score will be 25 after answering all of the questions correctly. As mentioned in item 1 above, is there a setting that I missed that will apply the score to the Random Question slide and the question slide in the question pool?
I am using Captivate 7.

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

Combining scored interactions and questions - navigation settings

I'm trying to get to grips with the way the Preferences > Quiz > Settings > Requried options work when my quiz combines both scored interactive objects and questions.
I'm currently using Cp4 but would be interested to know if Cp5 behaves the same.
Am I right in thinking that the effects of the different options are:
Optional
The learner can scrub back and forth with the playbar as much as they like without restrictions.
Required
The learner can scrub back and forth without restriction, but only up to the last slide with a scored interaction or question. To get further into the lesson they have to click any one of the previous scored interations, or submit a single question answer (wrong or right).
Pass Requried
I couldn't figure this out at all! I set a pass score, had a load of scored interactions and questions, but the learner could scrub right through the slides with scored interactions into later slides that weren't scored. Ah well, good job I'll be using the LMS to manage pass/fail
Edit: Oh, it looks like this only comes into play if I select 'show score at end of quiz' - you can only ontinue past the results page if you achieve the pass score.
Answer all
Learner can scrub to the end of any slide with a scored interaction or question, but to get to the next slide must either click the interaction or submit an answer (right or wrong). And if the next slide also has a scored object, repeat. Once they've 'unlocked' a slide they can scrub out and back into it in the same session.
Any observations on that?
Obviously learners won't be able to scrub back if backward movement/review is disallowed.
Incidentally, I did notice that the point Cp locks the slide seems on 'answer all' to have some very odd properties. If I removed the pause from the click box, or the learner clicks play at the pause, then it carries on into a kind of phantom frame - with no captions or slide background - but the click box still works, if you know where on the screen to aim for!
Does anyone know a way to modify that locking frame to provide some info for the learner on what they need to do to progress?
Thanks

Hi BrightonJon
For the back movement there is an additional field. "Allow Back Movement" (or close to that)
Required only mentions that you cannot skip until you have answered
Pass Required means that you have to answer it correct to continue
These are about single questions.
A locking frame often happens at strange places. I have it most often using advanced actions.

Captivate 4 Arbitrarily Changing Quiz Question Values?

I've got a client who uses Captivate 4, and she's having a problem with quiz score values. She has 12 separate assessments, each with either 10, 15, or 25 questions, and she's very sure she has consistent question values in each so that each quiz adds up to 100 points.
Other users have opend the .cp movies and found the quizzes don't add up. Some vary as much as 10 points. When she opens the files, they're at 100 points. I opened one in Cap 5.5 and found that the value of two questions changed.
Any ideas on what's going on? I do remember that another client a few years ago was having scoring fits with Cap 3 along these same lines. I don't know if he ever found a solution.
Thanks.

Were any of these quiz questions originally created in an earlier version of Captivate and then upgraded?
Is this client using Report as SCORE instead of Report as PERCENTAGE in Quiz Settings?
If using SCORE, and you always need to have the questions add up to 100 for everything to work, I would suggest you try using Percentage instead. It's usually easier to work with.

Backwards Navigation When Reviewing Quiz Questions

I have discovered from some students that they can cheat on my quiz. They take the quiz, review their answers and make note of the correct answers, then either drag the navigation slider backwards or click the Back button to return to the beginning of the quiz. This resets their original answers and allows them to retake the quiz with the answers they took from their notes.
The quiz is set up to allow multiple attempts, but I assume they should be starting over with each attempt. My quiz questions are randomized from a test pool, so hopefully they do not see the same questions again and not in the same order. However, by cheating in this way, they can take the same questions in the same order.
Is there anyway to limit backwards movement when reviewing the quiz?
I have turned off backwards movement while they are taking the quiz, but this setting is turned off when they start reviewing the quiz.
I am using Captivate 5.

Thanks for the information. Yes I have set the quiz up to allow users to review their answers. Yes I assume they will take notes on the answers, but I have not enabled the Retake Quiz button. Once they get to the results page and choose to review their answers, I assumed (incorrectly) that their answers would be locked and they would not be able to change the answers or results for their attempt.
My instructions tell them to relaunch the training, go through it again, and then take the quiz again. With the questions and answers being randomized, I was hoping that their notes (question 1 answer is B - question 2 answer is C - etc.) would not be very helpful to them and they would put effort into taking notes from the training to help them on the test instead.
You said the following:
"If a user clicks the Review Quiz button after any attempt, they will be unable to perform a new attempt on that quiz until they relaunch the lesson again. Also, if the user jumps outside the Quiz Scope by navigating back to any slide before the first scored object or quiz question, they will be unable to reattempt the quiz until relaunch."
I have tested this out, launching the training from the LMS, and it is not correct. I can go through the quiz, review my results, drag the slider or click the back button to the beginning of the quiz, and take the quiz again.
I have disabled backwards movement during the quiz, but once you start reviewing a quiz, backwards movement is once again enabled via the slider or back button.
I can hide the playbar and navigation controls, but when you get to the review, the navigation controls remain hidden and you cannot advance through the questions to see the results. I thought of adding a separate Forward button on the quiz question slides to allow the user to go forward as they review the slides, but you cannot add buttons or clickboxes to question slides.
I could certainly turn off the review functionality, but I think it is valuable information to the student. I need to allow them to retake the quiz, as my boss has set a very high bar (100% passing score) on the quiz.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
By the way, after typing up this response, I started doing some playing around, and I figured out a fix. I turn off the navigation controls before the quiz and enable the Skip button on each question slide. With the navigation off, the user can answer the questions and click Submit. Then when reviewing the answers, they can navigate forward by clicking Skip. They can no longer navigate backwards through the quiz and training material.

Partial Credit for Quiz Answer

Partial Credit for Quiz Answer
Scenario: You add a multiple choice question with multiple
correct answers with a point value of 3, e.g. there are 4 answers
and 3 out of the 4 answers are correct.
Question: If the user answers 2 out of 3 correctly, is there
a way to pass back to the LMS a score of 2 as opposed to 0 (no
credit)? It seems to be all or nothing, but I need to verify that
that's true.
Thanks.

Last quiz question just freezes

A colleague of mine made a Captivate movie with three quiz
questions. They are designed so that the user is allowed one
attempt at each question, and if the user gets the question wrong,
they are taken to the slide previous to the question slide so that
they can review. The problem occurs on the third question. When the
user gets it wrong, it does go back to the previous slide, but then
when the user clicks the Next button to go back to the question
slide, the question cannot be resubmitted. I've adjusted the number
of attempts, the scoring, the backward movement, the pass/fail,
etc., and I have no idea why that one question slide is being such
a pain.
I realize it has something to do with it being the last
slide, because when I move it up to an earlier slide, it doesn't
have the same problem, but the colleague wants the slides in this
order.

Hi Lira,
Okay... gotcha. Usually when you have a quiz in a captivate
movie - you cannot retake a quiz just by navigating back to it. In
order to retake it - the movie would need to be reopened. I just
created a quick sample to try it out myself - and was able to
retake the quiz on the 2nd slide (I think because it is relaunching
the movie by going back to the first slide.) When I get to the 4th
slide - and get the quiz wrong - I go back to the 3rd slide - then
when I get to the 4th slide again, I cannot retake the quiz. I am
able to still navigate forward, because I set the option 'allow
user to review quiz' in the Quiz Manager. This will display the
'Next' button when I go back to a quiz question. You can then
remove the 'Review Area' that displays, if you don't want them to
have review information. I can explain this further if you need me
to. I can't think of a solution to be able to have them retake the
quiz - without relaunching the movie. I'm stumped. If I think of
something - I'll post.

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 ....

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,
Anjaneai

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 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.
