Quiz Captions for Correct & Incorrect answers

I have a quiz in which I've deleted the Correct and Incorrect captions on each question. My boss has had a change of heart and now would like to provide feedback using these captions. In the Quiz properties, I can bring the Correct caption back onto the slide but can't seem to do the same with the Incorrect caption. Does anyone know of a way I can get this done?

Try putting Failure Levels at something else than None

Adobe Captivate 5.5: Quiz Review for Correct and Uncorrect answers

Hello,
While making a quiz on Captivate 5.5, I couldn't set a review for correct and uncorrect answers. This in order to explain the correct answer.
The review area only appears when the question is not answered. I would like to know how I can fix this or a simple trick to make text appear only when reviewing the question.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum,
For Quizzes you can customize the immediate feedback by editing the Success/Failure captions. However for Review, if the user has given an incorrect answer the Text Caption has always the same content, it will indicate the given answer and the correct answer. Out of the box there is no possibility to adapt this Review message so that is more personalised for each question.
If you do not mind some more work, I blogged about customising the Review messages. Feel free to have a look:

Quiz not advancing after incorrect answer (quiz uses user variables to show wrong answers)

Hello All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Hopefully someone can help me.
After viewing this excellent video on the adobe captivate blog "so what were the right answers anyway" I created a quiz with user variables and a conditional advance action. It displays red crosses next to the each question that was incorrectly answered at the end of the quiz.
I set up user variable for each question with a value of 0. On an incorrect answer the variable would be set to 1.
At the end of the quiz is a slide which lists the question and shows a red cross next to each question with a variable set to 1. uses conditional action which is triggered "On Enter"
This works, but my problem is when I preview the quiz (in browser or as SWF), on an incorrect answer the failure caption appears but will not actually advance to the next question when I click anywhere or press y. It works OK on correct answers.
I can sovle this by adding a next button, but I want to understand what I'm doing wrong.
Using captivate 6.0.1.240 (boxed copy)
windows 7
images on quiz properties and conditional action below
Any help appreciated.
Regards

I tested this work flow on 6.1.319 and it works fine. So it is a bit guessing in the wild... no 6.0.1.240 around for the moment. Seems strange, because a simple action like your Assign action should normally release the playhead. But of course it is a question slide and they do not always behave as expected. Could you try to replace the Assign action by a standard advanced action with 2 statements, like this:
Assign var_question_1 with 1
Continue
And please, let me know if it works? This could be a difference between the two versions, but not sure at all.

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.

Setting incorrect answers on a customised quiz

Hi there.
I'm setting up a customised quiz (not using question slides) and was wondering how you set the correct/incorrect answers. What I've done so far is included all answers in the quiz (via the reporting section), but only set the right answer to "Add to total". This seems to work, as I get the correct scores at the end of the quiz, but when looking at my LMS reports it's counting all answers as "Correct", even when answered incorrectly.
Any idea if this to do with the Captivate settings or the LMS settings?
The LMS I'm using is a customised one built for the company I work for using a Joomla template.
Thanks.

Hi Lilybiri.
Thanks for the response. To explain further...
This is what I'm seeing on my LMS report (this is an example for one question)
As you can see the result of the question is showing as "correct", but it was actually answered incorrectly. It's a multiple choice question using click boxes. For the correct clickbox I've got these settings:
The wrong clickboxes have these settings:
I've also tried unticking the "Include in quiz" box, and only having the "Add to total" box unticked, but my LMS still tells me it was answered correctly when answered incorrectly.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Different responses for each wrong answer - possible?

Hello!
I'm a Captivate newbie and can't figure out how to set up my questions so that there is a different response for each incorrect answer. So rather than having just "incorrect, try again" (or something like that) when the learner makes a mistake, I can have phrases like "not quite right. The vertical axis should be slightly more inverted. Try again." and "Nope, not right. The horizontal axis has too high a slope." which would appear depending on which incorrect answer the learner chose. Hope this makes sense.
Can anyone help? Thanks!!

You can do that for single answer choice type of questions.
Double-click the option, select the Advanced Answer check box and Show Feedback Message check box from the Advanced Actions accordion of Properties. You will now get a new text box where you can add the feedback for that option.
See the screenshot for reference.

Creating captions for incorrect answers for hotspot quiz?

I am creating a hotspot question where there are 2 images for the learner to choose, one correct and one incorrect. How can I create a caption that tells the learner the reason why the incorrect answer is incorrect?

Is this a default hotspot question? Recently I published an example of a custom hotspot question, then it is much easier to control everything.

If you want to use the default hotspot, you can edit the default Failure caption with the explanation you want to give.

Captivate 7 - Incorrect Answers not allowing quiz to Continue. Buttons not functioning correctly (Clear, Back, Next). I have Knowledge Check

I am experiencing a problem with the Quiz feature of Captivate 7. Correct answers are submitting o.k., but Incorrect answers are not. You cannot go forward with them, i.e., the program will not Continue or go to the next question with an Incorrect answer in the Assessment.
This presentation has 15 Knowledge Check questions (0 points) and 10 Assessment Questions (10 points each).
Also the buttons don't always work correctly, i.e. Clear, Next, Back.
What could I try?

Thank you for your response. No. I didn't do anything like that. I figured that I should probably divide this into 2 parts and aggregate them. That was going to work, but I checked with one of our other users in TX. He told me that what they always do is to divide up the presentations into 2 parts. They don't aggregate them, but instead, let the LMS take care of going from the learning module (with the Knowledge Check questions) to the Assessment Module. Once you exit from the learning module, you immediately go into the assessment.
Captivate 7 doesn't really allow for this type of test without aggregation or an LMS. You can have a pre-test, but it expects those questions to come at the beginning of the course, not to be interspersed throughout the course. I also found that using the Question Pools gave me more flexibility in moving Knowledge Check questions around using the Filmstrip.
The other interesting thing was that the TX expert told me to remove the Accessibility Feature because, apparently, it causes other parts of Captivate not to work. I found that to be strange.

Scoring: Giving Negative Points for Incorrect Answers on a Quiz

We are using Captivate 5 and I was wondering if there is anyway you can remove points for incorrect answers? Say if you have a multiple choice question with 5 options, 3 of the options would be correct and 2 incorrect. Is it possible to give a -1 point if the incorrect choice is made and give 1 point each for the correct options?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
No, that is not possible yet, same for partial scoring.
I have a workaround, using variables and advanced actions to achieve that. You can find some examples on my blog (http://lilybiri.posterous.com). But the issue is to report to a LMS. Trihan has found a solution for that, using JavaScript but I have not yet tested it out, trying to find the tiem.

Is it possible to indicate which questions a user answered/correctly incorrectly once the quiz has finished?

I have been asked to display the individual question results of a quiz on a separate slide once the quiz has been completed (in addition to displaying the usual results page).
I will need to list the numbers 1 to 10 in this case, with a tick or cross to indicate which questions were answered correctly/incorrectly. Is this possible in Captivate 8?

I am in a flight back to Belgium from US. Have been presenting both about
quizzing and shared actions. Not possible to describe work flow on a phone.
You can visit my blog to get some ideas about difference between real
programming language and the point-and-click actions in CP. Link is

Adding image to correct/incorrect caption

How do I add an image (tick or cross) as part of the quiz correct / incorrect caption?

Hi there
Create an image that has the desired element as part of the image and save it somewhere on your drive. Then, edit the caption in Capitvate. Look in the properties panel at the General section. There, you should see a file folder icon that will (when clicked) allow you to browse to the image!

Using Correct/Incorrect captions & Branching?

Hi,
I'm still new to Captivate, and here's what I'm trying to do.
I'm using questions as formative, individual questions in a branching scenario, rather than as graded questions. When a student submits an incorrect response, I want to say, "Actually, the correct answer is X." Or, "That's correct." And include some "Feedback on the page." Fine; I know how to do that.
And, I want it to branch. So, after seeing the appropriate caption, clicking still takes the user to page B if their answer was incorrect, but to page C if their answer was correct.
I can figure out how to do the branching or the captions but not both. The only way I figure to do this at all is to not use captions but just branch based on the student's submission and take student to a Pre-A or Pre-B page that includes all the content from the question slide (except I can't use the "radio buttons"), painstakingly recreated, plus the caption and feedback text. Then the user could Continue to Page A or Page B. That seems like so much more work than should be needed.
Suggestions so welcome! Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I'm using CP4.
By radio buttons, I mean the choices in the regular multiple-choice question. (I'm not doing anything with image buttons or Flash button widget.)
I'm not sure what your second question quite means. Let's see if this helps. I can work out branching using the Advanced Options for each answer choice, or, in this case, via just if Correct or if Incorrect, as I simply have two paths, one for Correct and one for Incorrect, regardless of which incorrect response a student submits. I've accomplished branching using either of these methods.
What I'm trying to work out is that Captivate seems to allow that a Success caption or a Failure caption appears after the student Submits a response. Great. I want that, so I can indicate if their answer is correct or not. After that, however, I want the student who submitted a correct response to branch to Location A, while the student who submitted an incorrect response to branch to Location B.
Maybe I do need a click box. Do I need two click boxes, one for each case - Success and Failure? Does that mean that I'd need to put the Success caption in one place and the Failure caption in another place, and create a click box for each? (RIght now, I have them appearing in the same place, because they're never both present. It makes more UI sense.) Can I then control it so that a clickbox appears either only IF its respective caption appears?
Thanks again!

Quiz - not recognising correct answers

Just trying to create a quiz using Captivate.
I thought I had it figured out, except that it doesn't seem to recognise correct answers.
http://www.learners-guide.co.uk/quiztest/captivate/tests/test3/test3/index.html
I have selected the checkbox for Q1 and tick boxes for Q2.
What might have I done wrong or missed?
Thanks.

Maybe these posts could help to clarify the design of Question/Score slides:

Show Incorrect Answers Only on Review Quiz

Is there a way to show only the incorrect answers that the learner selected after clicking on the Review Quiz button? Basically I don't want the correct answers shown.

Which version are you using? If it is version 5 or before, you can just delete that part of the Review messages
Tried it with CP5.5 as well, but there this is not functional,
