Quiz Results

Captivate 3: I'm working on creating a quiz with multiple
types of questions without grading, when the user completes the
quiz I want the user status to update to complete but the questions
and answers to feed to either the LMS (SumTotal) or a designated
e-mail. The trainer group will grade the quiz and then update the
scores in the LMS. I'm new to quizzing so need help.

Hi Cynthia
In addition to what Norm offered I would advise you to steer
clear of using E-Mail as any form of reporting. These forums are
littered with post after post asking why E-Mail doesn't work.
Unfortunately with no real answers because it's an issue with so
many variables!
Hopefully that helps... Rick

How do I only get certain questions appear in the quiz results?

I have created a course through Captivate 6, throughout the course there are questions to guage the learners attention. There is also a quiz at the end. However, captivate includes on the questions throughout the course on the quiz results which I do not want to happen.
Can anyone advise how I can only get certain questions appear on the quiz results please?

Branch aware turns off the playbar in 6 (not in 7 any more, at least not for me).
Could you explain more in detail what you want, because I don't understand it. You want the user to answer all questions, but the score should only show what? If you don't want some questions to have a score added to the Quiz total, you can indicate that in the Properties of that Question slide.
And please, tell the exact number (3 versions of 6), and also if you have to report to a LMS?

How to send quiz results to a web page?

Okay, this should have taken 2 minutes, not 2 hours. Very frustrating. Here is the situation:
* Downloaded Captivate 5 Trial Version
* Created based quiz (which took forever to figure out how to set the correct answers -- HORRIBLE user interface for setup, but that is another issue)
* I want the results sent to a web page. I will code the web page & database calls, etc. to handle the information (I am a web developer). Just need the information sent somewhere!
Several big issues here:
1. When setting up a URL for the "Pass or Fail", nothing happens. User not taken anywhere. No "Post Results" button shown. The Captivate file just ends and that's it. ??
2. Finally figured out that I needed the "Internal Server" option chosen to have a Post Results button shown. Okay.
So when I click Post Results (after answering the 5 questions correctly), I am shown a login box. Why? What is this for? This is not needed. I am going to an INTERNAL SERVER. It is none of Adobe's business what this person's name/email is. What gives? Okay... anyways, I enter my own Adobe login information. It then says "Connecting..." then I get a Status Message that says "Unknown Error". Keep in mind this will be used by a general audience, of which approximately 99.9% will not have an Adobe ID, nor should they need one.
How I can easily have the Captivate file redirect the user to pages like this: Confirm.aspx?pass=yes or Confirm.aspx?pass=no.
I don't need anything fancy. But I do need something that works. This is terribly frustrating and I'm about to say it just doesn't work. Please tell me I am wrong.
Thank for your time and for reading this.

The Quiz Results slide's Continue button actions are set under Quiz Preferences > Pass or Fail > If Passing Grade etc. By default, the Continue button is set to just continue on to the next slide after the Quiz Results.
After the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide any Pass/Fail actions you've set up there will be evaluated and executed.
So if the user achieved a passing score, and you set up an action such as Go to URL in Current Window for that case, then the user should find themselves redirected to that URL. If there was a different action for Failure, and the user failed, then that should happen. But either of these will only happen after the Continue button is clicked.
I tested this by setting www.google.com as the go to URL and it worked. To see if the URL is the issue, try using another URL that you know everyone can get to. If that works, try to find out why the URL you want to use is not working. If no URL works, something else is interfering with the action.

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

Can we remove the Continue button from Quiz Results?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page?
I have a captivate file in which there is a Thank you slide at the end after the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - The user is just finishing the quiz and closing the browser tab - which is not showing the completion status inside LMS. The user must need to view the Thank you slide - so that the LMS can respond as "Completed" status.
Now, I want to remove the Continue button on Quizzes result slide so that user doesnot need to go ahead to next slide to complete the course. And i will put the Thank You message here in Quizzes result slide only.
Can I remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page so that it can be the last slide?
Regards
Vikas Sharma

Removing the Continue button from the Quiz Results slide is NOT a good idea in my experience. Clicking the Continue button triggers functions in Captivate to terminate the quiz and commit the score to the LMS. If this button is not clicked, Captivate may not be sure the person has decided they're done with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that point. There are often other buttons on the Quiz Results slide to offer the user the option of Retaking or Reviewing the Quiz. Only the Continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz Result slide.
Like yourself, I have also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the Continue button and don't realise they need to do something extra (beyond reaching the Quiz Results slide) in order for their score to be captured. So what I usually do is rename the Continue button to something more meaningful such as: Register Your Score, or Record Quiz Results Now. Having a name like this (and making the button nice and large and bold so that it's not easy to miss) clearly tells people that they need to click this button if they want their score to be retained. It's just a simple change, but it practically eliminated all issues we had with people just closing down their browser when they saw the Quiz Results.

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.

How do I include the quiz taker's name in the Quiz Results email?

I'm using Adobe Captivate 4. I want to include the quiz taker's name in the Quiz Results email. Is there to do this?

My experience with Captivate is minimal. Once again, the version that I am using is Captivate 4. I am not using an LMS. When someone takes a quiz and submits it, the email that I receive only contains the quiz ID and the test results themselves. I would like to be able to have the results include the user's name or at least his/her email address. Is their something that I can do with a variable to accomplish this? Or, is their some sort of third party widget available?
Thanks Gene

How do i prevent a slide that is after the quiz results page from showing?

HI guys, I am trying to achieve the following in Captivate 6:
1) Users answer questions. They have 2 attempts to pass with 70% or above.
2) At the quiz results page, if the score is less than 70%, users get a button to retake the quiz. After the second attempt, If the percent is 70% or above, they can click a button to view a certificate or click a button to see a transcript. If the percent is less than 70%, they click a button to get a transcript but NOT a certificate.
How can i accomplish this since i cannot add buttons to the quiz results page.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am trying to implement a simple hide/show routine and it does not work. This is what I want.
I have two buttons (one to save a certifcate and one to save a course transcript). I want to display those on the quiz results screen. The user has two chances to make a 70% or more on the quiz.
If the user obtains less than 70% score on the first try, on the quiz results slide I want to hide the button to save the certificate but keep the one for the transcript. If the user passes with 70 or more, then both icons remain on screen.
IF the user obtains less than 70% after the second try, the quiz results should only show the transcript button. If they pass with 70% or more, then both icons remain on screen.
I tried advance interactions to hide or show the icons in the "on slide enter" on the quiz results screen but that did not work.
This is an example of what i tried. if cpQuizInfoQuizPassPercent is less than 70% hide btncert. I also tried hiding the button and then assigning actions to show the button on passing the 70% but that did not work either.
Suggestions?

Adobe Presenter 9 quiz results reporting to LMS

We have over 50 users of AP9, and currently use a Success Factors LMS. Our AP9 quiz results are currently reporting only the cut/mastery score to the LMS student transcript, not the actual score the student gets. Any ideas? I've read all the help and tutorial material and it does not address the actual score reporting anywhere. What are the correct quiz and Reporting options settings to get actual scores reported for a final quiz? We SCORM wrap v1.2. Our LMS suppport says it is pulling what AP9 sends- which is the cut score. When we test as a learner, we can get 100% but if the mastery score is set at 80% we see as a learner we acheived 100% but only 80% score goes to our transcript. Does AP 10 function differently in this aspect than AP 9?
Thanks, Elizabeth

Hello,

Help! Multiple quiz results in Results Analyzer erase previous results

I'm very new to Captivate and having trouble with the Quiz Results Analyzer. I have 3 separate quizzes and have included the button for students to "post results" and log into an Acrobat account, then I can view their scores in the Analyzer.
I'm using C. version 6, and in the Quiz Preferences Settings, I gave each quiz a unique name, objective ID and interaction ID prefix.
Everything works when students take quiz 1, but when they take quiz 2, the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer completely replaces their orginal quiz score. Then when they take quiz 3, it replaces their quiz 2 score.
Did I miss something in Captivate, or do I need to configure something differently in with Acrobat or the Analyzer? I honestly don't remember where/how I set up the Analyzer results, and now it doesn't seem to give me any way to change things (ie, add a course, etc).
I will admit that originally I didn't give the quizzes an Interaction ID prefix (only unique objective IDs). But I've corrected that and now I have different ID prefixes for each one, yet after retrying the quizzes, I still see they are each replacing the old scores with the most recent ones.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thank you!
Tara

How to get the output .pdf file of a quiz to report to the quiz results analyzer on my internal server (mamp)

I created a quiz.
Created an internal server on my compute rising a MAMP.
When I publish my quiz using the multi-file publishing options...
I am able to use both the "HTML" and the "swf" output files to complete a quiz and reporting the results to the quiz results analyzer.
However, I am unable to get the output .pdf field to reporting to the quiz results analyzer.
Any help? Would this issue have to do with the Acrobat Professional setting? Captivate setting? My internal server setting? or output fuel placement?
I tired to put the .pdf file in the same MAMP root folder location as my "internalserverreporting.php and internalserverread.php files.
Thanks for the help.

Hello Varun,
You cqan submit the report as a JOB and export the out put to memory, once the job is complete you can read the list to display the output.
Cheers,
Mano
Cut & Paste form SAP help.
Submit report ....
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
Does not display the output list of the called report, but saves it in ABAP memory and leaves the called report immediately. Since the calling program can read the list from memory and process it further, you need to use the addition ... AND RETURN . Also, since the called report cannot be requested for printing, the addition ... TO SAP-SPOOL is not allowed here. In addition, you must not assign a function code to the ENTER key in the current GUI status. The saved list is read from the SAP memory using the function module 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' and can then be saved to the database using EXPORT, for example. You can process this list further with the function modules 'WRITE_LIST', 'DISPLAY_LIST' ... of the function group "SLST".

How do I see email address (LearnerID) in Quiz Results Analyzer

Useing Captivate 5.5
Reporting Quiz results to a local server.
Q: How can I see the "LearnerID" (students email address) in the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer?
When the student clicks on "Post Results" and enters their name and email address in the pop-up window the email address is collected. You can see the email address (LearnerID) in the resulting XML file that's saved in the CaptivateResults folder.
Problem is I can't see the email address in the Analyzer, and don't see an option to include it. How can I see the "LearnerID" or the students email address in the Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer? From here I want to export a CSV file.

Thanks for your response. The quiz results analyzer is awesome, but without the display of email addresses it is not a total solution.
I'm using an internal server and what I found out is that the .xml file that Captivate creates in the CaptivateResults folder (that Captivate also creates) contains the email addresses.
So, rather than use the analyzer, I will have to figure out the best way to view email addresses from the xml file. If anyone has a solution that you are happy with, please let me know.

Quiz result not showing up in Edge

Hi there Edgers
Really hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I've used Redesigns code(Seen Below) to design a quiz in Animate.
I have two problems, when the first question is answered, it skips to the 3rd question instead of the 2nd. I am not sure why this is as I have have checked for overlapping buttons, there are none and it does not occur on any other questions, only the first. Second problem is the quiz reult is not showing up at the end, I have the "grade" and "result" divs in my timeline but when they are reached they do not change to display the quiz results.
Help would be much appeciated

                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("fail");
As a side note, this quiz appears at the end of a 8 section mulitmedia learning environment. The code obove is the only code present in the "creationcomplete" window, the rest is done in the timeline.
George

In you if statement you need to change the if statement from i=7 to i==7; when you compare you need the double equal sign.
var FinalScoreHolder = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 +q6 +q7;
          if (i==7){
                    //var FinalScoreHolder = q1 + q2 + q3;
                    sym.$("grade").html("You scored "+FinalScoreHolder+"%");
                    if (FinalScoreHolder >= 90) {
                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("pass");
                    } else {
                    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
                    sym.play("fail");

No Quiz Results in E-mail

Hello,
I created a quiz, and set the results to be e-mailed. When I
tested it with F4, the quiz results showed up in the e-mail. But,
when I publish it and upload the files, the send e-mail button
initiates an e-mail to the correct address, but there are no
results in the e-mail. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Quiz Results Analyzer results not displaying correctly

We are using Adobe Captivate 6 and posting quizzes to a local server (configured with the .php files.) When we review quiz results using the Quiz Results Analyzer, some of the data is correctly reported. However, the Pass/Fail is not working right (either everybody who takes the quiz passes, or everybody fails.) Also, we are not seeing a total score.
Is there any tutorial for correctly configuring all of the quiz preferences, so that we get the results we are looking for?

Thank you for the link. I have viewed this video in the past.
The issue I'm having is that, in spite of setting the the quiz options for reporting, the data that is received in the xml files is not correct, therefore, it is not being correctly summarized in the Quiz Results Analyzer.
(It would also seem that the screen name I set here is not retaining its modifications.)
