Question on Quiz Slides

Does anyone know how to make the NEXT button on quiz slides appear after you hit the correct answer instead of displaying on the slide the entire time?

Which version?
During the quiz, the Next button is not necessary at all, it is only meant to be used when the learner wants to skip the question, and it is necessary during review. I will mostly hide the Next button all the time when the Question slides are in Quiz mode, by dragging it under the Clear button. Advancing to the next slide in Quiz time is happening after the second step for submitting (if attempts are exhausted). Check this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
If you put the attempts to infinite on question level, the user will never be able to go to the next slide until he has submitted the correct answer. Is that what you want?

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
Lori

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

The answers questions not selectable in quiz slide for some users

We have a SCORM Captivate training content published on our LMS (SAP Learning Solutions). Some users can't respond to any questions in the content.For these users, the answers are locked and are not selectable. Also, the Validate and Erase buttons didn't appear.
The problem concerns about 10% of our users.
This training contains both content slides and quiz slides.
The content is published in SCORM 1.2 (SWF + HTML) with Adobe Captivate 5.5. We had the same problem for some users with the previous version of this training content published with Captivate 4.
All users have the same settings:
Flash Player 10.3.183.11
Internet Explorer 6
Microsoft Windows XP

The most likely reason for this behaviour is that your 10% of users have entered the quiz and then thought they might jump back to the information slides to check the answer. On doing so they have exited the quiz scope which immediately locks the quiz.
Have you actually watched these problem users complete the quiz? If you are able to do so, make sure that once they start the first question, they answer all quiz questions in turn without jumping to any other slides or leaving the quiz. If my hunch is right, the person will be able to successfully complete the quiz.
If the desire is to allow users to jump back to the content section to check information, place a scored button on the first or second slide of your project. This extends the quiz scope and will mean that the user is still within the "quiz" no matter what slide they want to look at.

Is it OK to duplicate quiz slides for the sake of allowing multiple attempts to answer the question?

I am using Captivate 4 and have several quiz slides interpersed throughout my project. The user MUST get the answer correct so I am allowing them mulitple attempts to answer the question. The problem I run into is that when the question is answered incorrectly, the user is automatically brought to the next slide and is not able to re-answer the question. How can the user re-answer the question before moving on with the content? Is it OK to duplicate the question slide?
Example:
Memorial day always falls on a:
A) Monday
B)Sunday
C)Friday
D)Saturday
If the user selects either B, C, D I want them to see feedback that says they are incorrect and to please select a different answer. Of course, if the user selects A, the correct answer, the captivate just moves on.
(NOTE: I have already added advanced actions to the multiple choice questions showing customized feedback for the incorrect answer...I just need to let the user try the question again!)
It seems like I will get into some complex branching by duplicating the slide for incorrect response...I just need to know if this is OK to do and will it work?
OR - is there a better solution
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry, but apparently we do live in different time zones, morning over here, have to teach in a few minutes.
Will try to answer this afternoon. To give differentiated feedback, depending on answers, you'll need to construct your question slides instead of using the default Question slides. That means: using Text captions, interactive objects, user variables and advanced actions.

More than one question on a quiz slide

I've been using Captivate to create quizzes, and am not experienced with Flash. Now I need to create quizz slides with more than one question per slide, which is a limitation in Captivate. Is it possible to have more than one question on a slide using Flash?

Hi,
I think it is possible, but you need to do it manually not through template as far as i know.

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!

How do I add interactive objects to a quiz slide?

Hello, I'm having a Captivate 5 problem and can't seem to find an answer on the web or in the forums. I'm creating a quiz in which I'd like to ask multiple choice questions. For each answer option I'd like the user to be able to click on something - the answer text, an additional image, something - that would open a web page in a separate browser tab or window. That new window would contain information related to the linked answer option. This way the users can assess the relevance of each option in relation to the question.
I've tried using the "Advanced Answer Option" option but that only opens a window when the answer is submitted. Before I sat down to do this I was thinking I'd just add image buttons on the page, but it turns out that I can't add buttons, text inputs and several other options in a quiz slide.
If anyone has any ideas on how to work around this I'd really appreciate hearing them. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi Steve, thanks so much for the quick reply!
The Button Widget does the job admirably, I can add it in and even make it invisible with the alpha setting so it appears that an image is the actual link. Totally lets me do what I wished!
Thanks again!

Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

Hi,
None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
Is this possible?
If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
cheers

Hi there
Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server

version 4.0
Output - swf\htm
Hello
Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
thanks in advance
ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks
Message was edited by: marktko

thanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
Mystery solved - thanks again !

Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
Many thanks,
Ross

You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.

Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
Thank you!

Hello,
When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

Added help button to quiz slide

I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
Any help would be appreciated.
-Mark

Hi Mark
I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
just moving on.
Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
so all you end up with is the .SWF.
Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
.SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
on a Question slide.
Cheers... Rick

CP7 - quiz slides continue to play after timeline

I'm using quiz slides with audio in Captivate 7.
The audio plays, I choose an answer and click Submit, then click Y to continue, and whether I'm right or wrong, the playbar is only 1/2 - 2/3 way through the slide. So I have to wait while the slide plays out, long after the audio (and the slide) ends.
The Results slide that follows is hidden, with the option turned off in Preferences, so the quiz slide is usually the last slide of the project.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks for any help,
Marion

Default pausing point for question slides (and score slide) is half its timeline. With the default timeline duration of 3 secs this means that after the two-step process still 1.5secs has to go.
Have a look at my explanations, and tweaking possibilities:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-part-2
You can move the pausing point more towards the end, but only with the mouse (there is no Timing accordion). Or you can change the Continue option to 'Go to Next Slide' both for Success/Failure.
BTW this is nothing new, has always been the case. The posts were written for previous versions.
I would recommend to add a last slide after the last question slide, it doesn't have to be the Score slide, certainly if you want to report to a LMS (allow little bit of time to CP)

Quiz Slides inserted into other slides??

Is it possible to insert a quiz slide into another slide with content on it? I have a short story in a series of about 11 slides, and would like the user to be able to answer some questions pertaining to the paruticular slides as they unfold. Is it possible to manipulate a multiple choice question that is inserted in another slide, and/or can the question even be inserted into a story slide? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sabrina
Accept my apologies for this late answer, last week has been very hectic. I will try to make it up, will send you a link to the example slide I did create if this is really what your wanted. You'll find a screenshot.
I create a slide with a duration of 10secs. The drawing I created (SimpleDiagrams) is visible for the duration of the slide.
To the slide an audio is attached (it is music here, but you will have a narration, that has a timeline of 7secs. After those 7secs, the question appears (see timeline screenshot). It has 4 Text captions:
Question itself (How many men...), labeled it Quest1
3. 4. The three possible answers, labeled Ans1_1, Ans1_2 and Ans1_3
The answers are covered with 3 click boxes, CB1_1, CB1_2 and CB1_3. They do only have a Success Caption, deleted Failure as well as Hint Caption. The caption gives the feedback to the user (on the screenshot I show the feedback for the correct answer). All captions are in the same location, have same size. To each caption I attached the appropriate object audio. It will play when the caption appears.
Finally I have a 'Next' button, that is initially set to invisible in the Properties, but will become visible when the correct answer has been chosen. You have to make sure that the pausing time of this button is after the pausing time of the click boxes. I labeled this button BtNext1
I created 2 standard advanced actions, really simple ones:
rewind to be attached to all click boxes that sit on top of incorrect answers; they will rewind the playhead so that it will not continue when the click box is clicked (which is the default behavior); since there is nothing specific to the slide object ID's, this can be reused on all question slides; action has one statement:
Assign rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume with rdinfoCurrentFrame
success to be attached to the click box on top of the correct answer (here CB1_2); it doesn't have to rewind the playhead, but will show the button that pauses the slide again (a little bit later on the timeline because the pausing time is later than for the click boxes); this action has a slide specific object ID (the label of the button), so you will have to duplicate it to have an instance for each slide, and change the button identification (label); to make editing easier I chose this typical label, you will only have to change the last character if you label your buttons with this logical names; this action has only one statement as well:
Show BtNext1

Quiz slides

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble using the quiz slides.
For example, I've tried a very simple Yes/No slide and it
appears in edit mode with 'Correct, click anywhere to continue',
'Incorrect...', 'You must answer the question..." and a review
area.
Despite fiddling with these boxes, I'm still unsure what to
do.
Any help?

You will see thos options/preferences in the view you are in.
You can click on the Preveiw button and see what the user will
see.
