Question Slides-captivate2

Hi everyone
I have a number of question slides after an induction
presentation and if after two attempts they still get it wrong i
want to take them to the slide of the induction with the
information on it - once they view it again, they can go back to
the question and try again.
the problem is - once i leave the question and go back to it
- it won't let me try the question again and sends an email because
it thinks the quiz is finished when it's not.
thanks

Hi Rick and kattzndagz,
It would be nice so see the ability of a student to jump back
and forth between questions or just take the question again. I'll
be anxiously awaiting the next upgrade.
Recently I had a problem with question interactions that
needed to be addressed.
I created a quiz with 25 questions. It was an open book test.
The student needed to score 80% or better to pass. The student was
supposed to read the material first (at their leisure), then take
the quiz.
Well, human behavior became an issue. Students didn't read
the material first and just jumped into the quiz. They looked at a
question, but didn't answer it and left the lesson (LMS), to look
up the answer. When they went back in the quiz took them to the
last unanswered question. No problem so far. They would answer the
question and move on to the next, write it down and leave the LMS
again. After they did this three times the lesson "stalled" and
would not let them answer a question or advance in any way.
Sometimes the browser (IE) would time out too. (By the way, this is
not the way they were supposed to take the quiz, they appeared to
be trying to "fox" their scores and statistics.)
I solved the "stalling" problem by publishing the quiz using
Flash 6 rather than Flash 7 or 8. (We use the Flash 9 plug-in.) I
don't know just what was causing the problem but it seemed to be
related to the plug-in or how the Actionscript was implimented.

Multiple fill blank objects on one question slide?

Hellou CP users, is it possible to put multiple fill blank objects on one question slide? And if, how can I manage them for quiz reporting and correct results?
Yarik

I think indeed that you want a score for each fill-in-the-blank object, and that is not possible with the default FIB question slides. Only MCQ has partial scoring.
With TEB's and advanced actions that is possible. Also with the TextArea widget, as I explained in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/widgets-and-custom-questions-part-2
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
TEB's have the advantage that as interactive objects, you can attach a score to them which is not the case for the TextArea widgets. But I would recommend getting Jim Leichliter's enhanced version of the TEB's as well, so that you can control what is shown in the TEB if you want to create a question with multiple attempts. I have described a use case recently in these forums but cannot remember exactly which thread. Jim's widget is free:

Is there ANY way to have a static widget over the top of a question slide?

I have a popup reference widget that I made and put it in a master slide and set it to ply on top, BUT if I add it to a question slide, the text from the question shows over it.
Any way to have a widget always be on the absolute top?
Click on the MSDS tab at bottom reveals popup, but the question text appears over the widget even though it is in a master slide set to shop on top.
Ideas?

Once your widget is on the slide, it has complete control over the display tree. So what you can do is to move up the parent hierarchy until you find the slide (parent.parent.parent) and then re-parent yourselft or you popup window on top of the hierarchy by just calling addChild(). That works well for the static widgets. You just need to deal with the position being different on the slide so you'll have to juggle with localToGlobal() and globalToLocal().

Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

Hi,
I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoharan.A

Welcome to the forum,
Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

Placeholders on questions slides in Master Slide view or/and copying placeholders

Hi,
I have been building soem changes into our template and I noticed that you cannot add Placeholder objects on the Question slides, but also, when puting placeholders on other master slides, you canot copy and paste them from master slide to master slide...?
Do others find this and is it a bug or by design?
Cheers
Rossco

Hi Rossco
Captivate offers some system variables that you can use. For example, if you click File > Project Info, you get the screen below:
In that case, I typed Goof Ball into the Project Name field.
This means that what I typed into that field is now available to me in that system variable. So if I add a Caption I can insert the variable as shown:
And during playback, I see this:

Can I modify a question slide to include more than 5 qs in same slide

Hey everyone.
I'd like to know If I can modify a question slide to include more than one question in the same slide.
I'd like to include a slide with audio and some video in the left page and on the right page I'd like to include a q slide that can have more than one question to pertain to the input in the left page. But I wouldnt want to dupicate the left page.I'd like to include one page with input and the other page (right) with questions ( fill in the blank, multiple choice etc) just one slide of course.
I don't want to fill up the project with a bunch of question slides. The purpose of the activity is for the participant to listen to the input only once and start getting quizzed ( extracting detailed info, forecasting etc etc)
Thanks

Please take a look at the screenshots,
you can see how I have selected to execute the following advanced action on the submi tbutton howver there are a number of things going wrong and I doubt it's cause of the syntax as I've done ertythig as instructed!
I'm executing the actions once the Submit button is clicked.
I've placed the actions in the same "file" TF1 -TF5.
After TF5 I've placed the show to shoe the results ...
QUESTION:
This action was created seperateley cause it's a standard action and autmatically sent me elsewhere, not the same file... ???
Is that right?
I'm not getting a slide to show the feedback.
Why?
Timeline in question...???

Mystery Audio added to question slide

I am working in Captivate 4.
Whilst creating a series of question slides I came across a problem whereby one or two of the question slides would not move on after the correct answering of the question.
Turns out that the slides that would not advance had somehow got a short audio file attached (see under Slide 10 bottom left in screenshot).
Luckily I spotted this quickly, otherwise I could have been spending hours trying to resolve this.
I have not added any audio to any of my question slides so wonder;
a. What caused the small audio to attach itself to the slide ?
b. Is this a known problem with Captivate 4 or others ?
c. Do I have a problem with my version of Captivate ?

To do something like this in Captivate 5 you're probably going to need to create something in AS3, e.g. a Static Widget that does something similar to what you accomplished before in AS2.
If you already know AS2 then learning AS3 shouldn't be all that difficult for you. There are plenty of resources on the web.

Question Slide Buttons

I have an assessment that I created that uses a combines
question slides with interactive slides. I would like all of the
slides to uniform. The question slides were automatically created
with buttons to Back, Skip and Submit. These slides also added a
review area and a text box with question 1 of 15. I would like to
add these items to the interactive slides, but the program does not
allow these items to be copied. Can these items be added to a slide
not created as a question slide? If so, how is this done?

Hi Carol
Taking your questions one by one:
-- You can change the standard quiz question buttons (Clear,
Back, Next, and Submit) by double-clicking them and changing the
button settings. This enables you, for example, to change them to
Image buttons (as in Rick's demo).
-- You can't remove the navigation (defined on the Options
tab in the Question properties dialog) from the Success and Failure
captions -- it is built in
-- You can't add your own custom navigation buttons to quiz
questions using buttons or click boxes -- these options are greyed
out on question slides -- so you have to make use of the regular
quiz question buttons
-- The difference between the Skip (sometimes labelled Next)
button and the Submit button is that it navigates directly to the
next slide without submitting an answer to the current slide. When
the button is labelled Next, users often click this button in error
without realizing that they have failed to submit their selection
as an answer.
-- I'm afraid I have no experience of the blue asterisks
resulting from the hot spot Quiz slides. I'd be interested in what
others have to say about this issue.
Best regards,

Rewind swfs with played question slides

I have a custom Flash player that loads and plays Captivate
swf files. When the player loads a Captivate-generated swf that is
a "question slide", the player is unable to rewind the swf after
the question has been answered. These question slides are limited
to a certain number of attempts. My question is, is there a way,
even when attempts are set to a fixed number, to have my player
rewind the swf after the question has been answered? Is there some
mechanism in the Captivate swf preventing this?

More info: if I place a blank slide before and after the
question slide, and republish, the player will play the first blank
slide, skip the question slide, and play the second blank slide.
There is some property in the question slide that prevents it from
being played or rewound once answered.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

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.

Question Slide Failure Levels Issue

I have 2 rather large assessments that I need to edit TODAY
UGH! of course! They were originally meant to only give the user 1
attempt at each, and therefore 1 failure level. The question slides
were imported from various projects, and changed to 1 attempt/1
failure level, and various other things were changed about the
formatting. Now, the decision has been made to allow users 3
attempts at each question, and therefore 3 failure levels. When I
make this change, publish & test, the question allows me one
attempt, and continues to the next question!!!
Please help!!
Thanks

We decided to just allow the users to review the quiz, and
leave the questions at 1 attempt/failure level each - at least for
now. Adobe support told me the question slides were corrupted, and
that I could recreate them by inserting new question slides, which
apparently worked for them in the testing. Of course, since I don't
have the time to completely recreate the entire assessment, I have
not done that.

Bug in adding Question slides?

Firstly, thank to those who replied to my previous rant... restarting solved that problem.
Current rant: I think there's a bug in the Adding Question slides... but maybe it's me.
Here's the scenario:
I have a Master slide that says "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" so I think it's the master for the T/F slide.
When I go to Question Slide…, and add 1 T/F slide, it produces a new slide with the correct look from the Master slide.
BUT if I to to Question Slide… and add 2 or more T/F slides, the slides it produces look pretty much like the Master slide (and it says the name of the master slide in the Properties panel), but it's got things wrong with it... the Question X of Y is in the wrong place (the opposite corner, actually), and the "Correct/Incorrect/You must answer" boxes are one below the other... totally different than what's on the Master slide.
I also have issues with the GIFT import... Tryiing to import 10 T/F questions, I swear that the file is UTF-8 perfect, but it's telling me it's the wrong syntax. Why is this so hard?
Thank you for the assistance.
Ben

Thanks for the good suggestion Tony. Luckily I only do a limited number of these and they involve maybe five graphics at a time. I reckon the time it would take to import, apply the motion then export from Motion into FCP would be uneconomic.
I have done more tests and it definately only happens in DV timelines when copying scale motion keyframes from one image to another.
One solution is to manually copy the keyframes which is admittedly a little tedious. The other is to lower the motion filtering to fast which, as far as I can tell doesn't affect the quality to a noticeable extent.
I would say it's a bug unless anyone else can tell me where I'm going wrong?

Random question slide not shown when FP 8 or FP 9 output

Hi everyone
I've just begun to use Captivate a month ago, so it is not
that much experience I can contribute with by now.
One thing I have recognized is that I get some problems with
random questions slides made from different question pools when
using Flash Player 8 or 9 in the output otions.
When using Flash Player 7 everything works as supposed: one
random question is shown for every random question slide using one
distinct question pool for each random question slide.
When using one of the two others some of my random question
slides are not shown. There are slides that are played - meaning
that the player shows an empty slide for the time of 3 seconds -
but the content is not shown. This happens only for some of the
random question slides, and those are the same question slides each
time, I publish - but when working or dragging around with the
random question slides and publish again, the problem would come
with some other random question slides, not positioned the same
place as before, but showing the same problem in each published
version.
As written before each question pool is only used once. The
different question slides used in the question pools are all
duplicates, naturally with adjusted content.
Does anyone has experienced something like that before? Could
there be any other trouble with the content when using Flash Player
7 in the output options, like quiz not playing in newly updated
Flash Players ore something like that? Anything?
I appreciate your suggestions or comments! Thanks in advance
and kind regards,
Lars

Some more info - and a working solution...
I have worked on this topic a bit more - and found out, that
I have a problem with output option set to Flash Player 7, too.
When I delete every other navigation option than the "next
question" (what is it called in english?) button, I get this
problem:
The quiz now "freezes" randomly, not every time, but again
and again. The quiz has both random slides from question pools and
simple question slides.
I have found out, that putting the simple question slides
into question pools and then showing a random slide from those
question pools fixes the problem.
Has anyone experienced problems like that? Other solutions?
Kind regards
Lars
Maybe someone has a similar problem.

Rating Scale (Likeart) question slide

Hello cp experts!
I wish to use the Question slide 'Rating Scale (likert)' at the end on the presentation to provide a feedback.
Is it possible to report the student selection to LMS and view statistics over time? if so, how do I do that?
I didn't manage to make this work....
your help is much appreciated.

If your LMS is truly SCORM-compliant, you should be able to track the Likert questions. Be sure to choose 'completed/incomplete' in the SCORM setup, not pass/fail, since there's no score associated with such questions.
The ability to report on those results and see any trends is, as others have said, completely dependent on your LMS capabilities and features.
