Quiz question scoring and reporting

Hi, I'm working in Captivate 4. I'm trying to build a quiz that emulates our current course assessment questions. The final question asks: Overall, I found this session to be valuable. I've attempted to built a rating scale question slide but need the answer to report 20 points into our LMS. As Captivate only offers this as a survey question, I'm a bit stuck.
If anyone has had the same experience creating a weighted rating question your assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Richie.

Hello Richie,
Sorry, did not have time to answer yesterday.
To create a question that report 20pts anyway not withstanding the chosen answer could be achieved in a rather simple way, attach the score only to the submit button on the question slide, not to the answers themselves. So when the user submits the answer he'll get the score of 20pts. We do not have a way to change the system variables with the score, which is a pity (have been asking for it since quite a while).
But I presume that you will want to pass the answer to the LMS? It will be possible to store that answer in a user variable (could explain more extensively if you confirm first that you want the answers), but will have to check (in these forums) how to get this user variable to the LMS. Michael (cpguru) could be of great help there, but he is enjoying his well-deserved holidays.

So i have created a quiz with scoring and stuff but now i want to make a high score system just for one user any ideas?

The questions each have a invisible dynamic text box that when the right answer is pressed it goes up by one and at the final score page i have a dynamic text box which has a simple code which adds the contents of these invisible text boxes, so i need a code which would use another dynamic text box which will hold the high score of the player, all i need is a one player and session cookie high score system any ideas anyone? (this is action script 2 BTW)

you can use the sharedobject if you only want each user to compare their own scores.

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.

Integrating CP5 Quiz questions with My Own and Reporting ONE SCORE

Science teacher trying to convince my department to move toward paperless testing.
Out of the Box, I find
I've learnt how to use variables and Advanced Actions to create several true/false questions on a single slide and report their scores.
Is it possible to have MYscore variables change the PROJECT score variable?
eg EXPRESSION: "PROJECTSCORE" = v_MyQuestionScores + "PROJECTSCORES"
Am I allowed to mess with the project variables?
Regards
Greg

Normally you cannot change the score via any other method than using a quiz slide or an interactive object.
But now you can use the Interactive Master widget from Infosemantics to take data from user variables and use these as slave objects to override the score assigned to the Master widget, which then gets reported to the quiz.
If you want to try this out, download a free trial widget from here and give it a go.

CP5: Scoring and Quiz Result Slides for Selected Questions

Hello World,
I am trying to create a course that has several "knowledge checks" that don't need to be scored or tracked, and then a 10 question quiz at the end that needs to be scored and tracked.
Does anyone know of a way to separate those two elements so that the Quiz Results slide does not include any of my "knowledge check" data and just gives the user details of the 10 question quiz? I would also like to use the progress bar, but only for the final 10 questions.
Alternatively, if the quiz result screen separated out the results of the knowledge checks from the quiz, that would work as well.
Thanks,
Graham

Hello,
If you use the Question slides that come with Captivate, all the slides will be added to the total score because you can only have one Quiz in a CP-file.
Some ideas: you could set the score of the first (not te be tracked) slides to 0, or if possible change the questions from scored to survey (will not be scored).
If by Progress you mean the indication 'Question X of Y', there you will need to make your own counters, with user variables and advanced actions. If you want to have total control of your question slides you could create the first bunch of questions yourself and only use the default Question slides for the real last Quiz. Just published a blog post today with some links to articles about customizing Quizzes. Feel free to check it:

Custom Quiz: How to update and report user-defined variable?

Hello,
I am a novice Captivate 5.5 user. Thanks to Lilibiri's blog and articles, I have managed to built a custom quiz (all with user-defined variables and advanced actions).
The quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). I have inlcuded a "Feedback Slide" that may appear after each question. For example, if a person chooses score d, they will get sent to a Feedback slide that basically says they are wrong. There is a "back" button on the "Feedback" slide that can take them back to the the prior question sllide and they can change and re-submit their answer. After they have answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Upon entry to the "Results" slide, using "advanced actions" my user-defined variable adds up all of the scores to get a total. Based on this total, one of three possible text captions boxes appear, depending on their total. And....here are my questions (I have checked and re-checked the Forum and blogs for answers - and I am so sorry if I missed them!!)
1) I have defined a variable that totals the points that the person received on the quiz. I would like this variable displayed on the Results slide. It can get it to appear in a Text Caption Box. BUT if a person changes a score and re-submits the score before entering the "Results" slide, the total score reflects EVERY score that the person has chosen (the scores that they originally chose and then changed are still included in the total).
2) I want the total score a person gets on the quiz reported to the instructor. I don't know if a user-defined variable can be reported and how to go about doing this. We will be running our quizzes on an LMS (though we haven't chosen one yet). I tried using a system variable (cpQuizInfoPointsscored), but I believe (after reading discussions on Forum), it will not work in my quiz if my scores are adjusted/changed.
3) another question - would you like me to put this in a separate discussion? I certainly can!! There is a "Back" button on the "Results" page. I have tried using "advanced actions" and "on success: move to last slide visited" but neither option will allow the user to move to the last slide visited. Ideally, I would liek a person to be able to go back through the quiz, look at their answers and adjust them.
Thanks in advance for your help! I have learned SO much in the last few weeks from all of you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
That is a lot of questions, thanks for reading my blog. The most difficult part is indeed the reporting in case, you did see perhaps that I have not yet published the blog post about reporting questions with partial scores, third part of my reporting sequence. Have two possibilities that I'm exploring: either with Javascript, or with the brandnew Master Widget that Rod is pointing to. Watch out for the blog post(s), but need some more time. So no real answer to your second question for the moment, because you cannot control the quizzing system variables with advanced actions.
About your first question: you will have to so sort of 'reset' when re-entering the question slide, so that the total score stored in the user variable is decremented with the score attributed to the user in his previous answer. This means that you have to store this previous score in another user variable. Hope this make sense?
I do not get the last question totally. Are you using the default Score slide? You have to allow Backwards movement in the Quiz Preferences, but for default Question slides this will not allow the user to change his answer. I thought you were using custom question slides? Do not use the default score slide in that case, but create your own score slide, so that you can add buttons and actions to your wish. Perhaps I misunderstand your question, and it would be better to explain more, eventually in another thread if it is about the default score slide, question slides.

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.

Move back and forward through Quiz questions...

Hello,
I need to be able to let individuals move back and forward through quiz questions after they have answered them without the need to re-answer the question.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this in Captivate 6.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply!
I should have been a bit more specific and provided an example...
Question 1 and 2 are answered correctly and feedback box is shown each time - they then get stuck on question 3 so need to use the back button to go back through past the answered questions to the main information screens to find the answer and then need to use the forward navigation button to move back to the third question this will result in them moving through question 1 and 2 however we do not want them to answer these again.
The individual must answer every question correctly to pass the course.
Thanks,

Inventory and reports question

We are wanting to use the inventory and reports piece to help keep
track of
licensing. After doing an inventory the report shows every .exe and
every
version that was ever installed it seems. Some of the programs that
show up
are no longer installed or they have the executable but never ran it.
So we
look at it and say user x has this installed when they might not have
it
installed. Is there a way to JUST get what is actually installed? I
have
not used ART or Crystal reports, but I would think they would just
help
organize the information that Zen supplies, so I would think that ZEN
would
have to be able to differentiate between what is installed and what is
no
longer installed, not the report tools. Am I wrong? Will Crystal or
ART be
able to seperate this info, or is there anything else that will help
without having to use a totally different inventory program. Any input
is
appreciated.

We are having a similar problem. Often, even if the software has been
uninstalled, it still appears on the computer's inventory. Another
problem we have found is that the Zenworks inventory does not always report the version actually being run on the computer. For example,
we
were specifically trying to find out what versions of CorelDRAW we are
using, but we came up with multiple computers running CorelDRAW
version
1.0. Obviously we are not using version 1.0 on any of our computers,
but
no other copy of CorelDRAW was listed as being installed on those
computers. We're preparing to do a physical inventory of these
computers
to find out what's actually there, but do you have any suggestions for
remedying this problem from the remote side of things?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
Jenny Martens

Forms and report questions

Hi,
I am facing 2 issues now related to forms and reports
I am using forms 10.1.2.3
We have an old form developed a few years back and it used to work with the old application server.
But when we migrated to vista, the application server port is changed and hence the URL
Now the first issue:
1)When running a report from the form (After giving some values in the form, a button is pressed to run the report), it is returning an error:
FRM-41213:Unable to conenct to the Report server "Myrepserver"
So in the assumption that the server name must have been hard-coded in the form, and hoping to change it to the new server name,
I checked the when-button-trigger code in the form, but now I am unable to figure out where (which part in the form) the server name is defined.
Need help in this one first:
The code in the when-button-trigger is as shown below:
DECLARE
     plid paramlist;
     the_param varchar2(15) := 'tmpdata';
     v_process varchar2(10);
BEGIN
     If (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('ROD_REP','RSLB_REP','GEO_IMP','LBL_IMP')
                   And :FILENAME4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Filename is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
Elsif (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('OPT_RUN','SDF_RUN')
                   And :DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Delivery Office Id is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
End If;
v_process := :RADIO_GROUP31;
     BEGIN
          plid := get_parameter_list(the_param);
     IF NOT id_null(plid) THEN
          destroy_parameter_list(plid);
     END IF;
     plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
     add_parameter(plid, 'delivery_office_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'filename', TEXT_PARAMETER,:FILENAME4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_opt_batch_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:OPT_BATCH_ID);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_sum_det', TEXT_PARAMETER,:SUM_DET_PB);
     add_parameter(plid, 'process', TEXT_PARAMETER,v_process);
     add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
     run_product(REPORTS,'approcrep.rdf',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid,null );
     END;
END; 2)I am using a Windows Vista machine and using Sun's plugin JRE5 update 16 in my machine to run the forms through my browser(IE7)
It works fine when connecting to my applicatioon server
For example,
http://the_app_server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=testapp
works fine
But when I try to run the form locally using the form builder:
I have defined in Edit->Preferences (Under runtime tab), the application server URL,like this:
http://<my local computer name>:8889/forms/frmservlet
When trying to run , it asks me to install Jinitiator
why is this?
I even tried installing it but when starting the applet, the IE crashes and closes.
With these conditions, how will I figure out why the report is not running?
I am not able to debug as well because I am unable to run the form.

hi gregor13, Thanks a lot for the second suggestion, it worked and I am able to run the form locally now
For the first suggestion, you are right, this is what caused the issue.
But I am still not able to do the report successfully..I am able to open the report but no data appears..
I have defined a parameter list called plid
In the original run_product built in, this parameter list was passed.
Please let me know how can I implement this using the web.show_document.
My code is below, which works except no parameter is passed.I need help in this one please.
DECLARE
     plid paramlist;
     the_param varchar2(15) := 'tmpdata';

   v_report_server       VARCHAR2 (30)   := 'myservername';
   rep_url varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
     If (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('ROD_REP','RSLB_REP','GEO_IMP','LBL_IMP')
                   And :FILENAME4 IS NULL ) Then

     IF NOT id_null(plid) THEN
          destroy_parameter_list(plid);
     END IF;
     plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
     add_parameter(plid, 'delivery_office_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4);

     add_parameter(plid, 'p_sum_det', TEXT_PARAMETER,:SUM_DET_PB);
     add_parameter(plid, 'process', TEXT_PARAMETER,v_process);

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

Captivate 4 Arbitrarily Changing Quiz Question Values?

I've got a client who uses Captivate 4, and she's having a problem with quiz score values. She has 12 separate assessments, each with either 10, 15, or 25 questions, and she's very sure she has consistent question values in each so that each quiz adds up to 100 points.
Other users have opend the .cp movies and found the quizzes don't add up. Some vary as much as 10 points. When she opens the files, they're at 100 points. I opened one in Cap 5.5 and found that the value of two questions changed.
Any ideas on what's going on? I do remember that another client a few years ago was having scoring fits with Cap 3 along these same lines. I don't know if he ever found a solution.
Thanks.

Were any of these quiz questions originally created in an earlier version of Captivate and then upgraded?
Is this client using Report as SCORE instead of Report as PERCENTAGE in Quiz Settings?
If using SCORE, and you always need to have the questions add up to 100 for everything to work, I would suggest you try using Percentage instead. It's usually easier to work with.
