Quiz scoring for multiple answers

Hi there.
I've got a quiz with a few questions that have more than one answer. For example, a fill in the blanks with 5 blanks.
Is there any way to have the user score 1 point per blank? At the moment if I set it to 5 points, they still score 0, even if they get 4 out of the 5 correct.
I'm trying to do the same thing for a matching question too (1 point per correct match).
Thanks.

Indeed. You can 'add' that score to the Quiz total (look in Advanced Interaction panel - F9) and the system quizzing variables take into account the score obtained by those interactive objects: buttons, shape buttons, Text Entry Buttons, click boxes and interactive widgets. Have multiple examples on my blog (some claim it is worthless, incomprehensible) of custom question slides created with standard objects where the score is obtained using interactive objects.

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.

How do i create a non-scored multiple answer question?

Hi,
I've tried to figure out the best way to do this in Captivate 7, but can't find an answer. I hope you can help me out as I'm stuck
I need to create a question with 10 possible answers. They are opinions only---not correct or incorrect.
Kind of like:
"You are going shopping. What do you want to buy?"
1. apples
2. bread
3. milk
4. muffins
5. flour
6. juice
7. pasta
8. dishwashing soap"
etc.
The learner should be able to select none, some, or all and then click submit and advance to next slide, with no feedback given. I do not need to track anything for the LMS.
What should I use to do it? Interaction, Quiz, Survey, or Widget?
I am pretty weak with variables, so hopefully your solution will be simple
thanks!

Strange... You could have a MCQ that is a survey instead of a graded question (no score automatically) with multiple answers. Delete all the feedback messages and keep the buttons you want, only Submit is really necessary, you decide for the other buttons. But then the user will have to check at least one option. Maybe you can add the option 'I don't know' or 'I cannot choose'? That will be an easy solution.

Quiz scoring incorrectly for non sequential questions

Hi there!
We are having some problems with a quiz scoring incorrectly. We have a total of 17 quiz questions spread throughout a project. There are 5 sequential questions at the end of the project. When we preview the project, regardless of how you answer all 17 questions, only the 5 at the end are scoring. The review area indicates that the system knows there are 17 questions (i.e. 17 total question, 5 questions answered correctly) so it's recognizing them, just not scoring them correctly. We're using version 5.0.1.624. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
First of all, please update your version, the latest version is 5.0.2.630 It is possible by the Help, Updates option.
Could you check the Advanced interaction view/panel (F9)? It gives you an overview of all the scored objects, inc. question slides. Are all the question scores added to the Total score?

Multiple choice with multiple answers

Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help me out. I'm creating a series of tutorials useing Captivate and at the end of each one I want a slide that has the options
a) re-run tutorial (jump back about 100 slides)
b)go to next tutorial (next slide)
c)return to start (jump to slide 1)
I've had a look at the multiple choice questions in Captivate but they only seem to alow you to make one movement with a "correct" answer and I'm looking for more of a navigational tool. Would this functionality be stored under the 'Quiz' section or somewhere else or is this function just not available in this tool?
Thank you very much for your help,
Michelle

Hi there
Notice that with the Multiple Choice question type, when you select one of the possible answers you have an Advanced button that may be clicked. You may then assign a different action for each answer selected. So answer a could jump back 100 slides, answer b could open another project and answer c could perhaps open Google.
Cheers... Rick

Basic quiz scoring

Hey, I'm trying to build a basic quiz – there are 6 questions and I want it to display a score at the end. Everything works and it shows a value at the end (but always '0'). It's not keeping proper scoring as users go along, it should be adding '1' point for each score, no matter what option is clicked it just traces '0' in the output window. Maybe something to do with the variable or? Kinda new to Flash, the chunk of code I believe to be the issue is below, thanks.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//varialbe for keeping score
var score:Number = 0;
//event listeners for button clicks, which will adjust the scoring array
rad1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
rad4_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustScoreQ1);
//function for adjusting the scoring array
function adjustScoreQ1(e:MouseEvent):void
if (e.target == rad3_btn){
//add 1 point to the overall score if the user clicks on the third option
score += 1;
//check my scoring variable in output window
trace (score);

The code you show is not a problem in itself. In that frame if you click the 3rd object you will get a 1 in the output. The problem might have to do with how you implement the score variable in the timeline. The score variable should be in a layer that extrends the length of the timeline to the end of the quiz.

Multiple-answer multiple-choice grading

Hello! I'm trying to create a quiz in Captivate 4, but I'm running into a bit of trouble. I'm using multiple-answer multiple-choice questions, but I'd like to grade them granularly, instead of completely. So far, if a user misses one answer, or checks just one of them that is incorrect, the entire question is counted wrong. I'd like to be able to give the user 10 points for each correct answer in the question (and possibly -10 points for each extra "wrong" answer).
Is there any way to modify the grading for these questions other than writing my own question widget?
Thanks! Tim

How to use Keychain for multiple users on one computer?

I have a new Macbook Pro with Yosemite. I just moved over from PC for my work computer and the Keychain thing is killing me! I am a social media consultant so I manage multiple accounts for multiple clients. I need a way to log in and out as them on many different platforms. The reality is that I am the only user but I log in and out of different things as if this was a public computer with multiple users.
PC allowed me a drop-down option with each login. For example the email box could be clicked and then I could select the client email that I needed to fill in. The password would then auto-populate. Is there any setting I can change to make this happen on a Macbook? I have been logging in, deleting the info in Keychain, then logging in for the next client, delete...etc.
Most password managers don't work because of this same problem. Please don't recommend a password manager app unless it can handle logging in and out of (for example)10 different LinkedIn profiles.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Itunes for multiple family members

My situation is I've been using iTunes since its inception and built quite a library. I've been through multiple ipods and now on to iphones for multiple family members. All the while using one itunes account on separate devices for multiple family members. Now that we have iphones its become necessary to create separate icloud accounts for each family member. This creates a problem for those with new icloud accounts. The iTunes music library can no longer be shared on separate devices (that I know of). The music library and playlists I have built over years cannot be shared with those devices that now have separate icloud accounts. I am aware of "family sharing" and have set that up going forward but how do I resolve the issue of all the music and playlists that were shared when we all used one itunes account, prior to creating separate icloud accounts? I hope this makes sense. For example my wife and son no longer have access to any of the music/playlists on their iphones that they used to have prior to creating their own accounts. Even though all purchases made before and after creating separate icloud accounts were made using the same credit card.
I believe I could just go back to having the other devices sign back into my itunes account and I think that may resolve the issue but what happens to purchases that were made on the other devices while they were signed into their own accounts? Another point that comes up is that we all have gift card balances on each itunes account. This is so confusing

This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!
Mr Mars,
You are welcome! I hope you have achieved the expected degree of "harmony."

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Can I use the "same" button multiple times for multiple galleries?

OK so I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work. Please help...and don't laugh at my poor scripting. This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;
function checkNumber(): void{
    next_btn.visible=true;
    back_btn.visible=true;
    if(imageNumber==15){
        trace(imageNumber);
    next_btn.visible=false;
    if(imageNumber==1){
        trace(imageNumber);
    back_btn.visible=false;
function nextImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    imageNumber++;
    mc_engagement.source= "photo/engagement/en0"+imageNumber+".jpg";

I'm still a novice with Flash myself, but I have two comments.
First, at this point, won't your buttons control all galleries at the same time? Which means, if I go to image 5 in one gallery, then move to another gallery, I'll start at image 5, because the actions are all connected.
Second, you can definitely use the same buttons for multiple galleries. It seems to me that as long as you've assigned the buttons an instance name, these actions should already work to control all the galleries (see the note above). I guess I would need to understand a bit more about how your project is built.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How to Configure Cisco ASA 5512 for multiple public IP interfaces

Hi
I have a new ASA 5512 that I would like to configure for multiple public IP support. My problem may be basic but I am an occasional router admin and don't touch this stuff enough to retain everything I have learned.
Here is my concept.    We have a very basic network setup using three different ISPs that are currently running with cheap routers for internet access. We use these networks to open up access for Sales to demo different products that use a lot of bandwidth (why we have three)
I wanted to use the 5512 to consolidate the ISPs so we are using one router to manage the connections. I have installed an add on license that allows multiple outside interfaces along with a number of other features.
Outside Networks (I've changed the IPs for security purposes)
Outside1 E 0/0 : 74.55.55.210 255.255.255.240 gateway 74.55.55.222
Outside2 E 0/2: 50.241.134.220 255.255.248 gateway 50.241.134.222
Inside1 : E 0/1 192.168.255.1 255.255.248.0
Inside2 : E 0/3 172.16.255.1 255.255.248.0
My goal is to have Inside 1 route all internet traffic using Outside1 and Inside 2 to use Outside2.    The problem is I can't seem to do this. I can get inside 1 to use outside 1 but Inside2 uses Outside 1 as well.
I tried adding static routes on Outside2 to have all 172.16.248.0/21 traffic use gateway 50.241.134.222 but that doesn't seem to work.
I can post my config up as needed. I am not well versed in Cisco CLI, I've been using the ASDM 7.1 app. My ASA 5512 is at 9.1.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions/help

I have been away for a while and am just getting caught up on some posts. so my apology for a delayed response.
I find the response very puzzling. It begins by proclaiming that to achieve the objective we must use Policy Based Routing. But then in the suggested configuration there is no PBR. What it gives us is two OSPF processes using one process for each of the public address ranges and with some strange distribute list which uses a route map. I am not clear what exactly it is that this should accomplish and do not see how it contributes to having one group of users use one specific ISP and the other group of users use the other ISP>
To the original poster
It seems to me that you have chosen the wrong device to implement the edge function of your network. The ASA is a good firewall and it does some routing things. But fundamentally it is not a router. And to achieve what you want were a group of users will use a specified ISP and the other group of users will use the other ISP you really need a router. You want to control outbound traffic based on the source of the traffic, and that is a classic situation where PBR is the ideal solution. But the ASA does not do PBR.

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.
