Presenter short answer quiz problems with answer

Hi everyone,
it's my first time using adobe presenter. I started to make a short answer quiz and put a word i.e. "car"  in the answer field. As I read the manual the question will be correct, if the user is typing the word as answer. After testing the quiz I wonder because the will be only a right answer if the word car will be type alone. When typing a sentence i.e. I have a car this means a wrong answer for the program.
Is there a way to tell the quiz just look out for the right word or means short answer just exactly the word in the answer cell? If I read the manual correct a complete sentence with the word must be a right answer. What's wrong?
Thanks for your help.

To take Leo's and Jorma's comments one step further, any time a client (or even one of our Instructional Designers) requests that kind of question type, one of the first things we do immediately is to set the question to ONE ATTEMPT and then set both the correct and incorrect feedback responses with the same identical content...so regardless of whether you got it right or wrong, the same feedback will display.
So what this means is that the resulting feedback might say something like: "Did your answer include the following?....." and then include the correct information.
I know that seems counter-intuitive, but one of the most difficult aspects of using the Short Answer question type is in terms of how a learner might respond.  It can be a very difficult animal to control...and although you could use the retry feedback prompt to help the learner with hints for a correct response, we've found that it's just too cumbersome to worry about.
Additionally, any time we use Short Answer question types, we usually set it to 0 points and totally disable the the Report Answers option, so even as the learner answers this type of question, no reporting whatsoever is triggered back on the LMS, for the reasons that Leo and Jorma outlined above.

  • Adobe presenter has encountered a problem with this presentation

    I dont know what happened but I used Adobe presenter without issue on Friday, 9/21.  On Monday 9/24 it seems there is an issue. When I try to save a powerpoint presentation or use the Presenter ribben I am seeing the same message, Adobe presenter has encountered a problem with this presentation.....
    I have unistalled and reinstalled Presenter as well as unistalled and reinstalled Powerpoint. Nothing is working and the error message does not help.  This is also happenign on my coworkers machine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Can you tell us the exact version of Presenter please. You will find it in About Dialog as mentioned in above post.
    I did not get your previous post. Do you mean you have installed an incorrect version (32/64bit) ? Presenter 32bit is supported on PowerPoint32bit and Presenter 64bit version on PowerPoint 64bit.
    Please ensure you are following the above criteria.
    Let us know if you need help in identifying it.
    Regards,

  • Proposal: Posting short summary of problem with solution

    Fellow Web Dynpro developers,
    what do you think about the following proposal:
    if you got help from the group that finally solved your problem, wouldn't it be a good idea to close the thread by
    shortly:
    - describing the original problem
    - describing the (most elegant) solution
    - rewarding points to all who contributed
    Armin

    Yes, unfortunately I must agree with Stefan. The amount of hit-and-run stuff we are seeing is very high. One has to accept that this group can not even be preached for, as they have already grabbed what they wanted and disappeared over the horizon. In a way it difficult question of what are the primary goal of SDN: support versus to distribute knowledge.
    The only solution that we have found to work is a mental "whitelist" onto which people that stick around and understand the concept of give-and-take are placed. Their new questions are then the ones into which we put extra effort to solve, or build examples. The rest of the questions are handled at "default" effort. Newbies are given automatically an initial credit; they decides themselves their destiny.
    Should we not take this discussion to maybe "SDN Suggestions" (closest relevant forum). Maybe other people also have some ideas? Can I move it?

  • OBIEE-Answers Problems with NVARCHAR2 data type elements

    Hello experts,
    After we completed the .rpd development and ported to the real-time environment, when we try to create requests in Answers of Presentation services by selecting certain columns only and try to see results, we are getting an error if the columns are of NVARCHAR type. The error is given below.
    This is stopping end users being not able to create any answers/requests. Please suggest how we can resolve this or if any specific things need to be done to solve the problem.
    Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
    State: HY000. Code: 87720170. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 24328, message: ORA-24328: illegal attribute value at OCI call OCIAttrSet. [nQSError: 17007] Error while executing OCIDefine routines. (HY000)

    Hello Damon,
    Thanks for the response.
    We have also tried to query the same data through SQL*Plus and it went well. We had no issues with any data. Also the .RPD is working in our local system with the same data, on windows OS. But when we port the .RPD in the Server (Sun Solaris) we are having problems with the columns which are considered as NVARCHAR2 in the database and VARCHAR in the Physical layer of BI.
    We observed there is no NVARCHAR2 data type supported in BI administrator in building the RPD. Is there any other datatype supports the NVARCHAR2 datatype in BI?
    Thanks,
    Narasimha

  • Quiz Slide: Short Answer

    When creating a Quiz in Adobe Captivate 5, and you select Short Answer as the Question Slide type, can Captivate look for certain words within the end-user’s answer to flag the answer as correcxt or does the answer have to be a word for word exact phrase that was entered in the Correct Entries dialog? Basically we would like to have a free-form answer from the end user and if they have entered certain keywords within their answers, the question would be flagged as correct. If not, is there another way to do that programmatically and have it still report to an LMS as being correct? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I think I've a solution for you, double-checking it and will publish on my blog. For that solution I used the TextArea widget that comes free with Captivate, a user variable and advanced actions. For the moment I worked out 2 examples of Short Answer question slides:
    Where score is attributed only if all the keywords are in the short answer; this is the hardest part because of case sensitivity of variable values
    When score is attributed per keyword: if there are 3 keywords, the user can get a score of 2, 4 or 6 points, if he has 1, 2 or 4 keywords mentioned.
    Re-reading your question, I could add a third one where the score is attributed if the user has only 1 keyword, OK?
    Will post the link here, when the blog post is published. I used the same widget for a FIB question with partial scoring as well (what is not possible with default FIB question slide).

  • I have an answer to problem with flash drives

    The problem with a flash drive that an iMAC does not know you plugged in is the length of the part going into the computer is too short even though it worked just fine on a PC for years. Those that do not work have a length of about 3/8 inch of the metal part while those that work just fine have a length of about  1/2 inch. The  1/2 inch is longer than what will go completely in, but it works great. My 1/2 inch long flash drives were from Sony. When you see flash drives in a store the metal part that is so important is covered by the cap,  bigmyron

    Thanks. I tried this but contacts won't turn on in iCloud. When I turn it on the merge screen comes up I press merge and it just reverts to main screen and does not stay on.

  • Hi, i've just got a problem with my macbook pro: I bought it two years ago and suddenly, it stopped working. Im freaking out. No answer from the people hwo suposed to know about these problems. Any tip??

    Help!
    i had a problem with my macbook pro: on tuesday 16th (agoust, 2011) I went to a friend's house and show her some document i had in my computer, then i turned off my mac and it asked me: "there are some actualizations available, do you want to update before turn off?" i clicked on yes, waited for update and then the macbook turned off. When I got back home, I tried to turn it on again.... but nothing: it didn't sound baaaammmmm as allways, it didn't reacted. I tried again, but useless.
    The next day i went to one of these "authorized management centers", but they coudn't say anything or do anything about it. First they told me the problem was the battery, then the hard disk, then the video card... but don't. I left my mac there by two weeks, hoping they could help me, but they didn't. So I picked it up and go to other place.
    The rare thing is that i have just two years with my mac, and i didn't do anything stupid on it (didn't fall, get wet, microwave, hot, shocked, hit or anything) It just stopped working. Two times it turned on. But if not, it's the same story:
    When i pushed the button to turn on, sounds like baaaaaammmm, but then again, and again, and again, and the screen doesn't get blue or anything, it appears a foder with a "?" and then the computer turns off...
    Im wondering if this is a problem on this computers, because some of my friends told me things much like that that happened with their macbooks.
    What's going on??? why this is happening?? cn you help me?

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

    The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
    While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
    This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
    This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
    QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
    And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

  • How can I increase the number of possible answers in Captivates short answer quiz?

    I am trying to offer a short answer question that has more than 8 possible answers (due to different spelling and punctuation possibilities). I can add up to 8 possible answers but don't know if it is possible to add more to the short answer quiz question. I'm using Captivate 5.5.
    Is it possible? How can it be done?
    Thanks

    Hope you will not be offended, but I find it very difficult to use the Short Answer question, and have all possible answers to be included. I would really like to be able for such a Question type to have the 'exact' answer replaced by this answer has to include a number of keywords. But that is perhaps only me...
    For that reason I will mostly replace this type of Question slide by a custom slide, created using the TextArea widget. Then you can check the answer to see if it includes certain keywords.
    Now for you answer: I think 8 is indeed the maximum number of possible correct answers.

    Please help me, I need to buy an item but there problems with the questions..I'm sure I wrote the correct answer as I have written down just in case but it of not use..... What can I do???...this is my first time in buying a iTunes card....

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
