Quiz Score in Slide Presentation

Hi All,
I have prepared a short tutorial in slide presentation format
with 20 questions at the end, and I'm trying to get the quiz score
(using Flash with AICC tracking) displayed on the last slide but I
haven't been successful so far. I am using slide template in Flash
Professional 8, and I followed the instructions in Flash help menu
including copying all the required files onto my server, but I'm
still having problem with reporting the quiz score.. The only thing
I don't understand very well in the instruction found on the help
menu is "start the LMS system (or create the AICC Course Descriptor
Files) that references the frameset.htm file."
I would appreciate if anybody could provide me with
information on where to get help on this. Maybe there is a tutorial
somewhere I am not aware of.

Quiz Score Slide - Review Questions

Hi all,
I have put a number of discussions now and still can't seem to get this to work.
Once a user has completed the quiz and got to the quiz score slide to find out if they have passed or failed - for both I would like them to be able to 'review answers'. I know there is a review quiz but this just tells them what they got wrong or right and not why.
I have searched on Captivate and online to figure out how to make this work. I would like the user to be able to go through each slide and when there is a question they got wrong, there is an explanation for them.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi there,
You can have a slide as an explanation slide next to your quiz slides. You can use a conditional advanced action under On Enter property of the explanation slide. With the help of a variable called cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored, you will check whether the last answer was correct or not and have the explanation slide show/hide accordingly. For example, if each question in your project has 10 points associated. The variable will check whether the last question slide scored points were equal to 10, if yes then jump to next question slide and if no then go to the explanation slide.
Here is how it will look in the advanced action window:
Where Slide 4 is the next question slide and Slide 3 is the explanation slide.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching. I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process. I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products). How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5. I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables. I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

Cp6 Quiz score reporting error in LMS

Looking for any inputs - this one's a bit strange:
I've been tasked with developing a course that allows the learner to test-out by jumping directly to the quiz. I've set up a series of advanced actions that allow one shot at the quiz without reviewing the course content, and actions that steer the learner back into the course after failing the quiz. All of these actions work, and the quiz score reports correctly each time within the course - the problem is what happens after that:
I leave the course and go to the learner profile on the LMS - instead of 100%, the score is reporting as 75% (4 question prototype). I've set preferences to complete the course and report the score - the course reports complete, the only error is the incorrectly reported score. When I leave the transcript page and go back to the course, the course opens to the last question in the quiz, rather than the last page visited - and the question is not completed. Is this a setting I'm missing on the Cp6 side, or do I need to interface with the IT guys running the LMS? I'm running Cp6 with the most current patches on a Meridian LMS.

In answer to Rod's suggestion to set the score to percentage:
Done - the client prefers that report anyway. Still seeing the stuff as described below.
In answer to Erik's questions above:
after the quiz, you have a quiz results screen that shows all the information you'd expect, right?
Right - the quiz results screen in the course shows the score achieved
If they passed, how do they close the lesson?
The "Continue" button on the results screen is set up to take them to a completion page. that page has an "exit" button that takes them out of the lesson and back to the LMS.
Does the LMS report the same result as the summary page?
Yes if the quiz is set up to "submit all" answers at once in Quiz:Settings. (However, this is not my client's preferred set-up - so I'm still searching for the answers below)
No if you have the quiz submit each answer individually - see below:
The scores reported on the results screens for the quizzes in the red box above were 100, 90, 80 and 80, respectively.
If they fail the lesson, how are they redirected back to the content?
The "Continue" button on the quiz results page is set up to jump to the first page of content if the score is below passing.
Then they go through the content?
Yes - its required at that point.
how do they retake the quiz?
the "next" button on the last content slide takes them directly to the quiz.
If they retake it, does the summary slide show the correct information?
In the "submit all" mode - this all works perfectly.
If set up to submit after each answer, if you fail the quiz and exit the course before retaking it, the score is reported correctly in the transcript - it seems as if it defaults to the minimum passing score in when you submit each answer individually.
again, how do they then proceed to close the lesson?
They exit the lesson using the "Exit" button, which closes it and takes them back to the LMS.
I'd suggest adding a 'continue' button to that summary slide (if there's not one already) and instruct the user to click, take them to a 'congratulations' page and instructions to now close the lesson.
Done - see above.
Do you have the lesson reporting 'after every slide' or 'send data at end'? If none of the above options help, try changing it from one to the other (in the 'template' options).
I've set it using the submit all checkbox in Quiz:Settings - not sure how to access template options - is this a menu I'm unable to find?
Thanks again for your time on this -

flashgodx,

Presentation Vs.
> Timeline Document development using actionscript 2.0
I'm interested in this, too. (Thanks for bringing up the
topic!) My
guess, however, is that you won't see a flood of feedback.
The timeline
metaphor is deeply engrained in the Flash developer mindset.
Building a
slide presentation-based movie (the relatively new "screens
feature") just
doesn't feel like working in Flash. I don't think many people
use
screens -- though maybe it's too early to tell. I could be
completely off
base, of course, and I welcome friendly dissenters.
I think Macromedia was hoping to appeal to the Visual Studio
crowd with
screens. I'm curious to see how Adobe continues the idea. In
any case, at
present, there's a kind of ActionScript mini-framework that
gets added to
screens-based SWFs. This framework is what allows screens to
behave like
screens rather than timelines. It is important to realize,
however, that
all SWFs are, in the end, SWFs. The screens metaphor is no
more "real" than
the timeline metaphor is. Both are just user interfaces to
translate our
human instructions into something the Flash Player can
understand.
I don't much care for the fact that this framework adds 27KB
to a SWF
before anything else is even added. Start a new Slideshow
Presentation and
immediately test the SWF (Control > Test Movie). In the
resulting Flash
Player window, select View > Bandwidth Profiler to see how
much the SWF
weighs. Do the same with a normal Flash document and compare
the two.
To answer your specific bullet points:
- Stability
I have no opinion here, I'm afraid. I simply haven't
produced enough
screens-based SWFs to make a fair assessment.
- Range
Not sure what you mean, here. Are you asking if
screens-based SWFs can
be bigger, hold more content?
- Limitations
The end result in either case is a SWF, and a SWF is what it
is.
- Preference
I prefer the timeline metaphor because I've been using it
since Flash 3.
I use Flash for everything from applications to cartoons to
video, so in my
workflow, timelines makes more sense.
- Experience
Very little experience with screens (because I don't care
for them).
Plenty of experience with Flash in general.
- Pros
I would imagine -- and I can only imagine -- that some
people prefer the
"slides" format. To me, it feels like PowerPoint, which I
don't much care
for.
- Cons
The aforementioned extra SWF weight. 27KB isn't a deal
breaker, and
it's certainly less bulky than any of the v2 UI Components,
but ehh. For
what that's worth, I think it's a con. My programming skills
have matured
along with the phenomenal advances in ActionScript in recent
years. I
crossed a milestone back in Flash MX, I think, where Flash's
under-the-hood
mechanisms really started "clicking" with me. (To be sure,
the learning
process never ever stops ... I'm *still* learning, and things
are *still*
clicking for me, but I digress.) To me, the screens metaphor
introduces a
new (in my opinion, unnecessary) layer of abstraction to a
lean-but-powerful
environment I already know and love.
- Accuracy
Not sure what you mean here.
- Problems
I don't use screens often enough.
- Errors
Ditto.
- Likes
This is reflected in my views on Pros and Cons.
- Dislikes
Ditto.
- Load Balancing
Again, not sure what you mean.
- Customization
Good question!
- Coding Development/Programming
None of the programming books I've read even touch screens.
- Control
Control of what?

Reporting quiz score when spread across separate lessons? cp8

Hi,
I have 7 lessons in my course. The LMS does NOT support a mastery roll-up score like the originally indicated they did. They cannot be combined in to one lesson. They are large.
So each has a portion of the quiz (no, they cannot be all placed in one lesson, they have to be separate). What I'd like to do is gather the scores of all 7 parts and tally them in to one final score to report to the LMS. As I see it, Captivate does not support this. I spotted CPGuru's Save & Load data widget. This looks like it will really help out. I think using this I can save each partial score and then in the final lesson tally them all up. The problem now becomes how do I report that score to the LMS as THE final quiz score result? I don't see a way to modify the quiz variables.
Ideas? Another widget out there?
Thanks!
Lori
CP8, Windows 8.1, publishing SWF.

That is really a strange LMS you are using: no gradebook or something similar at all? What you are asking for is typical a functionality of (most) LMS's.
Quizzing system variables are read-only, you cannot change them at all. Although you could transfer the results of the different quizzes to the 'master' project, how will you transfer them to the quizzing system variables. Only those define what will be put in the SCORM reporting. For a different goal, reporting custom questions, I have been looking for ways to get results into the quizzing system variables, but for a use case like yours I only see Javascripting as a solution or the use of the Mastery widget by Infosemantics (SWF-output only). Summarizing the resulting scores into a user variable is pretty simple, but not transferring it to the quizzing system variable. Only scores attached to question slides, or to interactive objects are included in those system variables. Have a look at my workaround for a much simpler use case for one custom question, maybe you'll understand the problem better:

I have no blog post about the solution with JS, sorry.

Captivate 5 not Reporting Quiz scores correctly in LMS

Our organization is transitioning to Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. We are using SumTotal as our LMS. I took a CP4 project and converted to CP5, then uploaded it as a test. The results were dismaying.
Captivate 5 Scorm 1.2 apprears to send scores to the LMS instead of scaled scores. For example; If you have 20 questions the scaled score should always be 0 to 100.
In the example I converted from Captivate 4, I have 15 quiz questions. In my first try I scored 60% on the Quiz. Captivate reported to the LMS a percentage complete of 0 and a score of 90%. In my second attempt I scored 80% (which is required for passing from within the Quiz setup) and Captivate reported to the LMS 100% complete and a score of 100%.
I repeat, all worked fine with the same course published as Captivate 4.
I work for a very large multinational company. This is a killer for us if we want to go forward with Captive 5. In fact, I have just spent a lot of money upgrading everyone in my department - money wasted if we can't use the output with our LMS.
Does anyone have any ideas, and is there a way to get to someone at Adobe if this forum is unable to provide answers?
Sorry to sound panicked, but I guess I am.

Hi all
You're absolutely right. Adobe silence is extremely unsatisfactory and unprofessional. Below are the email correspondences. Does anyone know who are the President or the CEO and the email address? I think it’s about time to find out why from the top man himself.

By looking at the results of the Cp5 Quiz Results Analyzer, does it make any sense? The statistics doesn't fit in at all.

Need help choosing Software for a Slide Presentation

I'd really appreciate some advice....I need to make a slide presentation with an audio soundtrack. There don't need to be any fancy special effects as the slides transition. A simple fade in & out is all I'm looking for. All I need is for some of the slides to show longer than others (maybe 6-8 secs. vs 3-4 secs. for the rest.) There are about 250-300 slides which I have in i-photo and the soundtrack will be 4 tracks I have in i-tunes. I need to be able to burn the presentation onto a DVD once it's assembled. Will the Keynote application in i-works do this or should I use something else?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thx in advance, Malco
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to the discussion boards, malcoinc . It sounds like what you want to do would best be accomplished from within iPhoto itself, using its slideshow functionality -- I believe it has all the capabilities you are looking for, including sending the slideshow directly to iDVD once it is completed. I'd suggest reading the iPhoto documentation on this feature before considering moving to some other solution, as anything else is likely to be more complex.

How to get the Success Factors LMS to record the quiz score for an Adobe Captivate 7 module.

I have a few questions and one outstanding issue.
My Issue:
I can’t get the score to be recorded by the Success Factors LMS.
Question 1)
I notice that the quiz reporting section in Captivate 7’s Preferences menu has a “Data To Report” section.
However, for SCORM 2004 and Tin Can, there is no option to report Quiz Score like there is for SCORM 1.2 and AICC.
Is reporting the score impossible for those reporting standards?
Question 2)
My organization is using the Success Factors LMS and I’m trying to get the score to be recorded by the LMS.
I’ve set the Published Captivate module to report the Quiz Score as a percentage (Points is unavailable to me since there are more than 100 pts),
but the LMS is recording whether the module was Complete (passed) or incomplete (not passed or yet to be completed).
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Captivate’s side that I need to be setting for Success Factors to correctly record the score?
- Maybe Captivate (in SCORM 1.2) should be reporting the Score as points and not percentage?
- Maybe I should be using AICC?
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Success Factor’s side to interface correctly with Captivate?
I’ve checked the Adobe forums, but I don’t see any help there and
I’ve googled the issue to the point of exhaustion and frustration.
So, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time.
Provided below is a screenshot of my Quiz Reporting settings:

Last year I worked with a customer who has the SuccessFactors LMS and, after some issues and discussions, the SF folks suggested their LMS supports AICC better than SCORM.
That stunned me a bit...
SO, sure, barring anything else, it may not hurt to try AICC!
And I think SF is also limited in their SCORM 2004 support. If going with SCORM, definitely try to get SCORM 1.2 working first.
Your settings look good to me. Maybe can't hurt to try 'points' but I'm not so sure that would work.
So you're ONLY seeing 'Completed/Incomplete' not 'passed/failed' as you'd prefer?
You're not seeing a recorded percentage at all?

Flash slide presentation

Hey hi
I am trying to make a slideshow/movie with the slide
presentation feature. I use flash cs3 on a mac, but I don't think
that matters ?
I have put all my photos I am using onto into individual
slides. I have set cue points.
When i test it, nothing happens. It doesnt go to the next
slide.
I am trying to redo the opening on
mogullife.com but with more photos
and a different song. I have done exactly what I want done on a
keynote presentation, but when I export it to flash, the
transitions will not work, so I am here.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? You can
message me on here or on ichat or on myspace or email or call or
snailmail. Anything. I really wanted to do this soon.
Thank you in advance for any help.

From your description, it sounds like you have each of these
5 screens
stacked one on top of the other, maybe each is in a different
layer,
maybe some other method.
It sounds like you are setting the alpha property of the
clips or the
individual elements to 0. If that's the case, then, yes, the
buttons
will remain active. If you change the visible property to
false, the
buttons will not be active.
Another method for showing this content would be to place
each screen's
content on a separate frame. So that you have only the
content that you
want on any given frame. Then you can navigate from frame to
frame
without concern for the other content.

Flash Slide Presentation Format vs Flash File

I mistakenly made a fairly robust animation (15 layers about 5 min long with sound) in a Flash Slide Presentation document. The entire animation sits in slide number 1 (no other slides in this doucument). I need to take this animation out of the Slide Presentation mode an put it into a regular flash file because other applications are reading the presentation holder slide and not reading the animation. Is there a way to get rid of the "Presentation (parent) holder slide or do I need to copy the whole thing to another document? If so how do I do that? Thanks in advance for your help,

shift-click and drag across all the frames of your animation to select all the frames, then right click and click copy. go to a new swf and right click on a frame and click paste.

Flash Slide presentation and movieclip looping

Hi,
Im having a problem with the flash slide presentation. I have
on the main timeline of one of my slides a movieclip. When i play
the movie, the clip will loop endlessley. I would like the movie
clip to play just once. In a regular flash movie this would not be
a problem - i could put a stop action on the last frame of the
movieclip. but, doing that in the context of a flash slide freezes
the movieclip at the begining so it does not play at all..
help!

Ok, Ive managed to solve item 2. - if you set in the slide
component inspector - "playHidden=false" then the slide animation
will restart any time you reenter the slide. Im still lacking an
understanding of how to stop a motion tween from repeating itself
when it's contained within a movie clip as a motion tween timeline
cannot recieve fram actions apparently...

Flash Slide Presentation...how to control volume?

Hello,
I am working in Flash Slide Presentation mode. I have a
started a sound file playing on the "master" slide and I want it to
play throughout my entire presentation. However, on a couple of
slides, I want to play some short voice clips. How can I "turn down
the volume" a bit on the main sound file so as to hear the short
voice clips? And then turn it back up when the voice clip ends?
I understand basic Actionscript. Can anyone tell me the code
or point me to a tutorial which I can use to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Ah, I was tying the (unavailable ) controller number and I didn't see the pitch controller option spelled out in plain sight!

Help with slide presentation

I'm looking for help in uploading a slide presentation to one

by step. When the presentation is viewed in the preview browser it

boxes with a little red X where the slides should be -
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or not doing right
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You also need to be absolutely sure you have the name in the
code set to the EXACT name of the file on the server
On your local computer (at least for Windows) you may use
MyPic.jpg or MYPIC.JPG and the file will load... but those are two
different files on a server, so if your code says MYPIC.JPG but the
file is actually MyPic.jpg it will not load
