Question slide then back then stuck

This is a pretty simple problem to explain:
If you go to a question slide, then go back, you cannot go
forward again to the question slide. Pressing forward on the slide
right before the question slide that you've already seen does
absolutely nothing.
What's the deal? Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again
Are you using a skin control bar to navigate or your own
buttons?
If your own buttons, are the properties set up correctly for
the "forward" button on the slide before question 1?
Secondly, and here is where it starts getting messy, what are
your quizz settings? I know you are allowing backwards movement,
but are you allowing users to review the quizz and are you
displaying results at the end?
Lastly, are you running on an LMS or not?
Sorry for all the questions, but they all could have an
impact on the problem, so let me know and we'll see what can be
done
Cheers
Andrew

Going back in tutorial renders unanswered question slides void

Hi, I have looked through the last few months of questions and don't see exactly my issue.
I have a Captivate 4 project that is linear and has questions (no scores reported to LMS) throughout to reinforce learning.
When a learner gets to a quiz item in the series and wants to jump back to an earlier content slide (using TOC or back arrow on Nav bar--I don't have back arrow on Question slide itself.) they can't return to the question and take it. The question appears to be locked up and they get the error message below. This is a question they never tried.
I don't put a back button on the question because I don't like to encourage that, but I do have on the Quiz settings to "Allow backward movement". If that will fix the problem, then I'll add that button. Just wondering if there is another setting I can change.
The question settings are:

Yes, I had to do something, so I changed the number of attempts to unlimited. That did fix the problem. Guess if we aren't scoring the items, we need them guess as many times as they like. This automatically resets the question for reentry from anyplace.
Thanks.

Hello, My mac mini will not boot. When I turn it on, I get the chime, then the white screen, then the apple symbol, then a file symbol with a question mark, then the white screen and then it stays like that.
Is this a bad hard drive?

Sounds like it. Try booting from your OSX restore DVDs - startup and hold down "C". This will take AGES! Then run Disk Utility from the menu.

Captivate 8 Retake Quiz button - back to the wrong question slide

Hi
I still haven't fixed my retake quiz button problem. I have a project with several non-graded practice questions (hot spot, drag n drop, 2 multiple choice/multiple answer) followed by 9 "real" test questions. I want the students to go back to the "real" test questions when they click the retake quiz button. Now, the retake quiz button takes me back to the first multiple choice question in the practice section - not the first "real" test question.
In Advanced Interactions for the first multiple choice question (and the 2nd as well), I see that nothing is listed in Include in Quiz col and Report Answers = NO. But an entry appears in Objective ID and Interaction ID. I can't see this ID information anywhere in the QUIZ tab - I'm wondering if this is what's driving the retake quiz button to this slide.
Attempted Fix:
I saw Lilybiri's answer to "Captivate 8 Retake Quiz" entry. This sounded like the perfect solution to my problem. So I created a conditional Advanced Action:
If cpQuizInfoAttempts is greater than 1 Jump to (1st "real" test slide #) Else Continue
On the 1st "real" test slide I put this conditional action On Enter.
It didn't work. Please help me determine what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this retake quiz problem. MANY MANY THANKS!!! I'm getting desperate!

You must have read my answer wrongly. Condition is OK, but you have to trigger it On Enter for the first practice question, not on the first real question slide. Since the Retake button will take the user to that first practice question slide, that action will be evaluated and the jump to the first real question slide will occur. Supposed is here that all practice slides are before all question slides.

It worked, but now loads only halfway and then stucks..

Hi, I have a shiny new 27" iMac (OS 10.8.2) and a iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.2). I've already connected them successfully via Home Sharing, but out of a sudden, it doesen't work anymore. It loads halfway and then stucks
Restarted all devices and the modem. At all other Apple products HS is turned off.
It's a bit annoying, why has everything to be so difficult and time consuming

Really NO ONE can help me with this issue...?

Trying to download an app but, I get prompt to answer security questions. I answer the questions but, then the session times out.

Could it be a connection issue to do with the ios 6 update?

Bring to front/back and rollover images on Question slides

Hi All-
My feedback captions show through revealing the content underneath. There is not an option to make them opaque. Also, Captivate allows me to insert a rollover caption on a Question Slide (as opposed to a button which it does not allow) but the rollover doesn't work. Suggestions? Please see me pdf attached.
Thank you!
Rita

All objects that are default to question slides (no separate timeline visible) are on top of the other objects. That has not changed.
I found some tweaking possibilities for shapes but that first rule is still valid: http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate

Am I able to create a conditional action or user variable on a question slide?

Hey everyone
We have modules where there is content slides mixed with question slides. We want the learner to answer the questions and not skip them so originally we removed the next button and just used the continue function of the question. We have lots of feedback from people that they are getting stuck as they want to go back and review the content but once they hit the question slide again (which they may have already answered) they cant get past it as they have already answered it and there is no 'next' button so they have to close and reopen the module.
Is there a way to make it so they have to answer the question but once they have answered it the 'next' button appears so they can then keep going back and forwards within the module. I was wondering if it was possible using a conditional action or user variable?
Thanks
Sarah

Go to Quiz > Settings > Required drop down and set to Answer All - The user must answer every question.

Question slides auto advancing prior to an answer being selected

Hi-
I have searched the postings and cannot find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
This only happens once the user has gone through the quiz once and has failed. The passing grade is a 100%, so the chances of someone needing to re-take the quiz is rather high. What happens is when the user gets to say question 3 or so, after about 10 to 15 seconds, the slide auto advances to the next question and does not allow the user to go back and answer the question. Then on the next question it will not allow the user to select an answer.
This does not happen the first time through the quiz, only the second time through.
Has anyone else experienced this before? Any ideas of what setting I have wrong? I have all of my question sides set up the same; I have T/F and M/C.
I am using Captivate 4 (with all updates) and running the quiz through GeoLearining (our LMS).
HELP!
Thanks,
Michelle

Just a note...I have checked the timing in the playbar and it is the same for all questions and it happens on question 1 and question 9 as far as I can tell. I am not able to see how these questions are set up any differently than the other quesitons in the quiz. There are only 15 questions total in this program and a total of 20 slides.

How to make a question slide impossible to pass if unaswered

Hi
I am using captivate 7 trail, and soon will buy the full version if this feature is possible inside captivate.
I am building a quiz, and I want the user to first, answer, see if he was right, and then go to the next question. I don't want the user to have the possibility to leave any question unanswered.
In evere question slide there is a "next" button, and a "submit" button. The user can go back or forward and skip questions. Is there a way to keep the user in this question slide untill answered, or hide the "back" and "next" buttons" untill the questions is answered.
This is really important for the way I'm using Captivae and it's a big deal breaker for us.
Any help will be appreciated.
TNX

Michael, it was not mentioned, but that Next button is necessary if Preview will be included. That Next button is a Skip button during the Quiz, but needed during Review. You can also play with the stack order and hide the Next button under the Clear button.

Formatting answers all at once on a question slide

I'm brand new to Captivate 4, but I have found no way to format all of the answers on a question slide at the same time, either as I'm creating the answers or after I've created them. I have to change each one individually, which is mind-numbingly tedious and laborius. Is there a quick, simple way to format them all at once?

Hi there
What exactly are you wanting to format? Font and color? Placement? All?
I ask because if all you want is an easy way to format the text characteristics, try clicking File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This will give you a Word document where you may change said characteristics. Then you save and import back into the project to influence changes.
If it's placement, you need to submit a Wish Form to ask for it to be added at some future point.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Captivate 5 - Quiz stopping after leaving question slide to go backwards

I'm trying to force Captivate to do something I think it wasn't designed to do - Force the user to get 100% on a quiz. I've set the attempts to 'infinite' and customized the retry messages with little bits of information for the user. Currently, they can try the question as many times as they want until they get it correct but they cannot leave the slide even though there is a 'back' button available! I need them to be able to leave the question slide after attempting to answer the question, sort back through the information slides to learn the information, and return to the question slide to answer it correctly. The quiz stops entirely if you go backwards, then attempt to get back to the question slides.
Forcing them to retake the entire quiz is not an option as this will likely frustrate the user, especially as one of our presentations includes 100 questions. Even setting the failure levels to 3 is not good because eventually, someone will miss the question entirely and have to retake the quiz.
Any suggestions? Can this be done?
I have a short demo with all my settings if anyone wants to see it.

Hello,
Yep, you are bumping onto the limitations of the current default Quizzes. If you allow multiple attempts on Question level, the user will not be able to leave the slide without exhausting those attemps or having a correct answer. If you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level, the Retake button will delete all answers and the user has to redo the whole quiz.
The only way I found was by creating my own question slides. I even succeeded in making Quiz Retake function only for incorrect answers. This is however a lot of work and when I read the amount of questions you are providing...

Inserting Buttons on Question Slides

Hi all,
I am on CP5 Mac. In my module, I immediately thrust the learner into a scenario. If they can do it, fine; if not, I want help to be available. My plan was to have image buttons on the slide where they could see a worked example or look at a job aid. I just tried inserting a button on the question slide so I could navigate to another screen to provide the help and now I'm seeing that CP5 won't allow me to add a button (or other standard objects) to a question slide. I've also tried copying and pasting a button from another slide and that doesn't work either.
How can I insert these additional navigation buttons on a question slide? I have made the quiz optional in Preferences.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you can spare the time please submit this as a feature request. We really need to get this kind of quizzing functionality add to the next version of Adobe Captivate using the link I have included below.
Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
Whilst I am sure that Lilybiri solution using Advanced Actions is probably the best way forward since you need to report to an LMS. I thought I would point out that if you are comfortable working in Adobe Flash Professional & ActionScript along with Adobe Captivate variables, and you don't need to report the button interaction to an LMS, then you could create this button in Flash and insert this as an animation (Insert > Animation). Just bear in mind that with Adobe Captivate 5 you would need to using AS3 since Adobe Captivate 5 does not support AS2. Before Widgets were part of the Adobe Captivate feature set, this was one of the ways we used to add extra functionality to Captivate projects.
The use case is not that complicated, so let me write it out.
There is a quiz with, let's say, three questions. As user enters the module, they are allowed to see a worked example or jump into the quiz immediately to see if they already know enough to pass it. Most won't be able to pass the quiz right away though; that's why a training was created. To provide just-in-time support, there is an additional button on the each quiz question screen labeled "See a Worked Example." This idea of using worked examples as part of our training is strongly supported as a teaching tool by Clark and Mayer in e-Learning and the Science of Instruction (great book BTW). Anyway, this additional button appears on each of the quiz question screens. When clicked, the user jumps out of the quiz into the worked example. After they see the example, ideally, there is a button in the worked example labeled "Return to Quiz." This button jumps back to the quiz, preferably where they left off. Ideally, if the user chose to see the worked example before trying the quiz, the "Return to Quiz" button wouldn't display (i.e., it has to know that it's being accessed as a result of a jump from the quiz before it displays).
This approach allows the user to jump in and out of quizzes and would work well in a scenario-based training, which is what I am building.
Best regards,
Mark

Choosing which question slide to provide points for the results slide

Hi all
I am having some issues with a new project I am working on. I would like, throughout the course, to give the user some questions to gauge their understanding of the subject. However these questions are not to be included in the overall quiz results slide at the end.
I am asking a question, then explaining where they went right or wrong. Then carrying on with the course. At the end I would like a new set of questions that concentrate on what they have learned throughout the course. However when I do that, the results page also adds the quiz results from the review questions earlier in the course.
is there anyway I can have this seperate so I can choose which questions will be counted in the results slide?
thanks
Julie

Hi there
Sorry it has taken so long to reply to you I got caught up in another project. I've now come back to the original project and I looked at the Advanced Interaction panel. Can you please tell me how to change the settings, for instance, change so that the question is not part of the overall total? I have changed the question slide to a survey slide but I'm not getting the option to direct users to a different page for correct or incorrect. Even when I do have survey questions they still come up in the overall quiz total. I have upgraded to Captivate 6 now and I was hoping that this would have been rectified.
I've contemplated creating my own custom question slides but the questions I need is a matching questions, so don't think I can recreate myself, or can I?
Any help you can give me would be really helpful.
thanks
Julie
