Quiz Question Defaults

Is there any way (modifying Presenter XML files) to change
the Quiz Question
defaults for the "Clear" button option so that the Clear
button is not
rendered on each quiz page? I occasionally overlook resetting
the checkbox
on the quiz question which requires accurate positioning
adjustment of the
Submit button after-the-fact.

Can I modify the Quiz Question default slides?

In a quiz:
1. Can I remove the Review Area on question slides?
2. I seem to be able to manually remove button (such as the Clear button), but I can't copy and paste a button from one slide to another. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
The Review area is not meaning a lot any more, because most of the Review information is in the check marks for correct, given and incorrect answers. It is seldom used. I would not remove it.
If you want to remove something from question slides, don't delete them but uncheck in the Options accordion of the Quiz Properties panel.
Buttons on question slides are embedded in the question slides, they do not have a separate timeline. Same for the captions like Type of Question, Question, Answers. Do not delete them or you could cause a lot of problems. For that same reason you cannot just copy/paste those embedded objects at all. If you want to change the properties, the location, size, you can use the Quiz master slides and or the object styles for quizzing objects.

How do you change quiz questions to look like your PowerPoint template without doing it manually on

We have a customized PowerPoint template with our branding colors and font applied. We need the Presenter quiz questions to have the same customized look. We need the questions to appear differently than the default, and we need our branding colors applied. I have been searching in Google, have read the Adobe Presenter 9 user manual, and cannot figure out if we can do this without applying the changes manually on each quiz question written. Is there a place in Presenter where we can customize the entire quiz question page? If so, where and how can you accomplish this?

I know it's an old thread, but Rob did do a good job of explaining how to setup a master slide for your Quizzes. Not sure that all steps still apply, but you get the general idea.

Quiz questions answered not considered

Hello,
I created a multiple choice quiz with a few questions, but as I preview it (in a browser and in the project preview section of Cp), or publish it and play it (same places), the answers that I enter are not being considered, every time I keep getting the "You did not answer this question completely" message when I review the quiz after getting the score. The correct question is selected properly on each slide, where I click on the circle to the left of the correct question.
Thank you for your help with this,
Manuel

Manuel,
Your quiz question slide in this project may be corrupted. Try opening a new blank project and insert ONE multi-choice or True/false quiz question there and test the functionality. Does a new blank project work properly?
If so, delete the problem slide from your existing project and re-insert new ones to replace it. Let us know if that works.
One more thing. DO NOT REMOVE any of the default question slide text captions from quiz slides. Doing that can cause strange behaviours.

Quiz Question

I have a quiz question with multiple correct answers. Do I have to create an "Incorrect Answer" on all of the various combinations that are not correct. Or can I have one "Not Correct" that affects all of the wrong answers?

Please, don't post your credentials like phone number on a public forum.
Do you want to change the Failure Caption just for this question slide? Double-click on it or use F2 and you will able to edit the text.
Could you please mention the version of Captivate you are using, Lisa? Some features are different depending on the version.
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate in this article I tried to describe the functionality of default question slides.

Quiz questions in Captivate 7

I'm fairly new to Captivate, but well-versed with other Adobe products.
I'm working on quiz questions in Captivate 7, but maybe (hopefully?) I'm doing it all wrong. Outlined below:
Need questions sprinkled throughout the module, we call them "Check Your Understanding." For now, true/false, multiple choice, etc. Will eventually include rollovers, etc.
Currently, I have a multiple choice question. Slide begins with a header caption created with two shapes and a text caption with "Check Your Understanding." Would like that entire group to fly in from the left for seven seconds. When I preview the slide, half of the group is visible, but unmoving unless I hit Play. I thought it should play automatically?
Second, when the question is submitted, even if the question is wrong, it just advances to the next slide. I need to require a correct answer before moving on OR the correct answer to show, and maybe a reason why. I can't get any of that to work.
I don't have a need for the results/review slide to show at the end, but is that inhibiting the result from displaying on the slide itself?
Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Is this a default question slide or a custom question slide created using standard objects and advanced actions? If it is a default MCQ be careful not to delete objects that are normally available on the master slide for that question, you can make them invisible but deleting (with the exception of some buttons) could lead to weird results. You are using an effect I suppose for the group? Look at the timeline (or better post a screenshot of the timeline): for a default question slide there will be a pausing point (used by the two-step process of that question slide: http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate) and I suspect that this pause is interrupting your fly-in effect.
Read the blog post about the behavior of question slides please. And it is a good practice not to have the playbar available for question slides. Another intuition tells me that by hitting Play you forced the playhead to pass over the pausing point, in the inactive part of the slide and that is why the playhead continues after submitting.

Interactive objects and quiz questions

Hi everyone,
I know that you can't add interactive objects to quiz questions, so what is the best way to accomplish my need of placing a button that, when clicked, plays a short mp3 audio file to a quiz question?
Alternatively, if I am to replace my Captivate quiz questions with new custom slides, how can I replicate all of the multiple choice, etc question types? Are there widgets for these?
I appreciate the help! I was looking around for reference items speaking to this issue but couldn't find any.

Hello,
On default question slides like on other slides, you can attach an audio clip to an object (even an object that is invisible to the user like a rectangle without a stroke and an fill with alpha=0%). The clip will play when the rectangle gets visible, but... you cannot put a button on a question slide. The only button that is possible is the static button widget but it has not the possibility to show/hide an object. You can attach the clip to the Success/Failure captions, eventually show/hide the invisible object with events like entering a slide, or Success/Failure actions but those events (appearing of captions, executing actions) cannot be controlled by a button. If that is what you want, you need custom question slides. You didn't explain really at what moment you want to offer the audio, perhaps you do not need to give total control for playing by a button?
Several blog posts I created talk about creating custom question slides with or without the help of widgets. Here is one link that shows a list of the articles/posts with widgets:
Widgets and Custom Questions
Not all question types are possible: if you want drag&drop functionalities I recommend the Drag&Drop widgets of InfoSemantics. Have a look here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/dragdrop/whichwidget
Another problem is the reporting of custom question slides. I already published two posts about that subject on my blog as well.

Quiz Questions Locking Up

I have developed a course that has five chapters driven off a menu from which you jump off and return to the same menu. I placed a survey question in the second chapter (multiple choice, more than one response). In the 4th chapter I have a quiz of five questions.
If you answer the survey question in Chapter 2, when you get to Chapter 4 none of the questions will accept a response. If you don't take the survey quiz in Chapter 2, all of the questions in Chapter 4 work just fine. Just for the heck of it, I deleted the question from Chapter 2. When I did, the quiz in Chapter 4 works flawlessly.
Help!
Gary

I had a similar issue when I shortened my quiz question slides down to 2 seconds. I would leave them at the default of 3 seconds I believe it is. Quiz question slides act slightly different to other slides and seem to require a 3 second window otherwise like you say they freeze halfway and lock.

Amending quiz question points

Hi guys
Using cp5 I've created a quiz but due to the vagaries of the LMS I need to amend the total points of each question (defaults to 10 as can be seen in the Advanced Interaction table but need to reduce each one). Is this possible? It was in previous versions. I've looked all over but can find no way of achieving this.
As always all help appreciated
Spiersey

Are you looking for the points in the Quiz Properties panel:
If this is what you are looking for, may I recommend switching to the Quizzing workspace? In that workspace you'll have both the Properties panel and the Quiz Properties panel at your fingertips, whereas in the Classic workspace they are both grouped in the same docking station at the right side.

Captivate 6 - Published - PDF does not play quiz questions

I just published my captivate 6 presentation. I am launching the .pdf file to view. At the end, the quiz questions do not work. I get a white screen and not my questions. Any ideas? Thanks

Below is a screen shot of the published settings. The whole training presentation plays as expected. Then when it gets to the quiz questions I get a white screen and nothing happens.
After I publish, I go to the zip file and run the pdf version.
This is for someone to view the training outside of our LMS system.
Here are the preferences ....

Stuck in course before quiz question

Hi. I have a course where users get to a quiz question, then after going backwards to review content prior to that quiz question, then upon trying to go forward again, gets stuck on the content slide right before that quiz question and can never move forward again.
Quiz is set to Answer All, allow backward movement
Course is locked for every slide, Advnace by user

Hi,
Please check the number of attempts you have allowed per question, if the attempt set per question is one, the slide would get locked and would not allow any further attempts to be made
Please check the attempts for each question, modify it with number that you would like to allow.
Thanks,

Modifying Quiz Question Format/Content

Issue: When we modify a quiz question in PowerPoint and then
go to the Quiz Manager the entire slide deck reverts to the format
before the changes, regardless of being saved previously.
Has anyone had this happen..please help.
I am trying to make edits/changes to a long presentation that
I need to deliver tomorrow and I keep losing the work I am doing.
Is there a better way to make the changes to the slides?
Thank you,
Scott

You can't modify quiz questions in the presentation itself -
you need to make those changes in the quiz manager itself. You can
adjust font size, lay out, etc on the slide itself, but not the
content

Quiz questions will not retain format when question is changed.

OK forum folks. I'm working on my first e-learning project and have ran into a problem with question formating. The instructions/help basically tell you to click here and click there. I can easily figure that out. The questions I seem to have are quite a bit deeper.
I have a predefined template which is company approved. I have created master slides in the question pool for both a 4 item match and a 5 item match (I have found if I add a line to the 4 matching line quiz the line spacing and formatting changes). The placeholder questions are essentially non-questions.
I duplicate the master slide in the question pool to maintain the original format (spacing, location, etc.).
I change the placeholder questions on the duplicated slide to the real question (slide is still in the slide pool)
The formatting (font, spacing, locations, etc.) change on the new (edited) questions and require reformatting.I have also tried copying the master question slide to the filmstrip and editing the copied slide questions in the filmstrip. I receive the same results.
Is there are way I can create masters in the current format so I can use the approved templates, edit the questions and not have to reformat the slide after the questions have been changed?
Also, is there a way to lock the formatting of the questions? If I want to add/delete a new question or line to the slide, it would be great to be able to not have to reformat the slide for the change.
I look forward to your answers.
Thank you.

I am trying to deal with the same issue. The master slides are more about background elements and navigation buttons, but they do not seem to allow for the addition of quiz elements.
I have come up with a workaround that I hope will work. What I am doing is creating a new project that becomes my quiz question layout library (Let's call this Project 2). In this project I add the various types of questions I will be using in my project (multiple choice with three choices, multiple choice with five, true/false, etc...). I get all the quiz elements in place for each type of question (the header, question, submit/clear buttons, review area, etc...).
These slides serve as my Master slides for my actual project (Project 1). I can copy and paste the appropriate layout from Project 2 to Project 1 and then change the questions themselves.
I am sure I will find out the downside of this soon enough...
There is no doubt the creation of masters for quiz questions needs work, actually it needs just to exist!

Extra line after first item in quiz questions

I just started using Captivate 7. I made a template with some quiz questions and there is an extra line after the 2nd radio button in the templates for multiple choice and true false questions. Is that normal ?
Screen shot.

I'm experiencing the same problem, also on Captivate 7.
The alignment is fine on the master slide, but every time I load a multiple choice or true/false question the "B" answer appears like this.
I've tried it with every theme and the same thing is happening. I've also had the program uninstalled and reinstalled and still the error is there.
I've searched on different forums, but no one seems to have the answer.

Learners unable to enter answers to quiz questions

I've launched our first course and I'm coming across an issue that I haven't encountered as we tested the course.
I've created the course in Captivate 5.
All of our learners are using their own computers to complete the training, and I have no control over what equipment they are using.
A couple have reported that they are unable to enter answers to the quiz question. For example, it won't even let them click on the buttons for multiple choice answers. Those that have reported the issue seem to have older computers (around 5 years old), but say they've updated to the new version of flash player.
We've tested the module on somewhat newer computers, and we haven't come across that particular issue at all.
What could cause such a problem?
sanna

I think this is what I will try. After I had a chance to talk to those that encountered the issue they said they had moved backwards in the course.
It never occured to me when testing the course to skip backwards and forwards. Lesson learned.
Now when you say include a 'scored' button, what do you mean?
I already have a 'next' button at the beginning of the course that the learner clicks to get started. It's an image button. I see when I look at the properties for that image button that there is an option to include it in the quiz. Is that what you meant? Set it to be included in the quiz?
Does it make a difference whether or not points are assigned to it, or whether or not it is included in the results?
Thanks
