Quiz Scoring When Branching

Hi all,
I'm on CP5 for Mac.
I have a short quiz with two questions. If they get the first question correct, I want to take the learner to a second question slide based on implicit feedback. If they miss the first question, I want to take the learner to a second, different slide that is, again, based on implicit feedback. Point is, I want to go to two different places depending on if the first question is correct. I know I can use an advanced action to make this happen.
The second slide is basically asking the same question whether or not the learner got the first question right. My path looks like a "Y"... which means I have three questions in the quiz. I only want two questions to be scored. Here's my question: what kinds of problems will this approach present for CP? Is there a better workflow to create this type of quiz that I should be aware of?
I have to report results to an LMS.
Thanks,
Kevin
P.S. Lillybri, just getting this one out there to get some feedback while I go work your tutorials. :-)

The above approach worked. I created a user variable called q1Correct. On entering the first question slide, I ran an action called initScenario and set q1Correct with a default value of 0 in anticipation of the learner getting the question wrong. On exiting the slide, if the learner answered the question correctly, I ran another action called q1IsCorrect and changed the value of q1Correct to 1; then I jumped to question slide 2. If the learner missed the first question, I just jumped to slide 2 - since q1Correct already had a default value of 0, indicating that the answer was wrong, I didn't need to run any actions on exit with an incorrect answer. On the second question slide, I checked the value of q1IsCorrect in a third (conditional) action, and showed my custom text accordingly. More specifically, if q1Correct was equal to 1 (meaning the answer was right), then I showed the appropriate text caption. Conversely, if q1Correct was 0 (meaning the earlier answer was incorrect), I showed another text caption.
Case closed.

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?

Quiz review on branching

Hi there!
I have a very simple test project with an issue on the "Review Quiz". There is the "Branch-aware" flag and a link to the project at the end to restart and reset everything. But when I click the "Review quiz" after completing the "Sondrio" path, CP is showing the slides I answered and the slides of the other PATH (Bergamo) that I did not answered with the alert: "You did not answer this question completely". I have not the same behavior on the other path. I cleared the cash of the project from General Settings and this is not an LMS project. I'm using CP8 8.0.1.242 version.
How can I take the review quiz on both branch paths only for the slides I answered? Thanks!
Here is the original file if you want to test it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/siokzcdgljtobaf/test7.zip?dl=0

It has been a while since I tested this, but it did work for me. I suppose you are using version 6.0.1.240? Because I had some issues before the patch. I will check again if you confirm the version. And you are sure to have checked Branch aware in Quiz Preferences?

Limit on setting items when branching?

I am trying to carry values over to the next page when branching by using the 'set these items' and 'with these values' fields in the Branch Action section. Once I insert over 15 items, I get the following error:
ora-06502: pl/sql: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
Is there a limit on the number of values that can be carried over through the branch?

Greetings colleagues!
My message is not an answer to the above-referenced topic/subject. I want to bring in some more substance and see how our friends at Oracle Support--or other colleagues, can address them.
But first let me thank Oracle support for the answer to my recent posting! Regrettably, that didn't much address my question fully. Maybe, I wasn't just more clear.
I agree--please bear with me-with you that there might be limitations and there. Not only on this item, but to many other. These are all inherent to a new technology. I will try T list some, and suggest improvement whenever possible. Let's call these "improvement opportunities" instead of limitations/bugs.
(1). My previous question. We are dealing with a relational database, and our requirements, I dare suspect, might be more than O HTML DB CAN, actually deliver? Suppose, again, I have 4 tables. PRODUCTS, VENDORS, PRESENTATIONS, PRESENTERS. Why these last 2 tables? Before any technology enters our corporate IS environment, it must be approved. It goes through a strict technology acquisition process. Vendors that are selected, say for the bid, must do presentations. At the end, the Technology Committee will make a decision (after doing a Technical Proof of Concept (TPOC).
Now, we want to be able to list presenters and presentations for each product (whenever available). There are more than 1 presentation for a given product and there also situations where you have more than 1 presenters for a presentation.
Can you generate this using a tabular form? I double. I tried, using the Wizard. You can only select 1 table when building this tabular form. However, you can get the SQL script using the SQL Command processor.
(2). The dilemma: We want reports for presenters and presentations o be displayed on separate pages. Here is where it gets more tricky, maybe because I just stated with O HTML DB 2 months ago.
My SUGGESTION to Oracle Developers: Can you make it possible to decide, when creating a region, to display it on a different page other than the one on which you generate the, say the report script? I think that depending on redirection creates confusion, and makes the tool less user-friendly. When you allow a developer to decide, at time of region creation to display the report on this page, or another page, you really create user-friendliness and increase application maintainability.
(3). Buttons: Why has Oracle re-invented the wheel here? Is it possible, in the next release, to make it possible to have graphic insertion icons within a region (just like most tools we are used to do? This would save us a significant amount of time. Having to upload graphics 1 at a time, then include these in the app is time consuming (especially if one has many graphics).
(4). How Tos: I do sincerely commend you guys on a fantastic job. However, we all (developers and Oracle Support team/Developers) must admit that the tool is still immature and there are many improvement opportunities. May I ask why is it that I crete a region now, code an SQL script. Everything works now. I backup the application. The next day, however, when I access the same app, what worked yesterday fails to work now! This has happened many times and it is pretty frustrating.
The best books are those that provide good examples, but also show the result of each code (for instance). Many people learn faster when they look at a code, then see the result. Reading text like a history book, in the development context is taste-assassination.
Do other experience this instability? If so, could you please share with me what you do? I suspect an application level "bug.
Again, I know the product is new and really commend Oracle's team for a fantastic job.
Tanks so very much in anticipation!

The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad

Hi,
Has anyone run into this problem for Captivate 8? The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad. The Next button shows in IE/Flash mode.
Thanks in advance for providing your help!
Zhuoran.

Thank you Rod.... I changed the option to "Required - User must take the quiz to continue." Now the next is working .
Thank you for pointing the right direction. But one quick question.. will the above setting affect my assessment? I have set the pass percentage to 100%...
My next question - I have a open course menu (TOC). If the learner clicks the Knowledge check page, the knowledge check page is visible, but if you click any other page from knowledge check, it is not going...... by default, it takes to the next page. From that page, you can click any other page... IS this also related to the above option .. pls let me know..

Reporting Quiz results when quiz resides on website.

I've gone through all the previous questions, and have spent countless days with the Adobe Live Help staff but cannot get an answer.
Please....is there any way to report- to any LMS, anywhere, alongside the quiz or on a local server, or any other configuration - quiz results, when the quiz is on a website alongside the elearning course.
Using Captivate 8, I've tried communicating test results to Adobe Captivate Quiz Analyzer but, according to the Adobe Live Help it is designed to only work on a local drive not across the internet.
Did ANYONE experience success with quiz reporting when the quiz is on a website???
ANY suggestions, recommendation, etc would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

The email option for communication is likely a thing from yesteryear, when web-mail was largely unknown, as each PC had its own dedicated email "client" (such as Lotus, Outlook, et ux) to which javascript could be passed to perform the mailto: function. Most users today (or the least, a near majority) use web-mail, and there is no mailto: functionality - thus, no use for Captivate's email option on the Success or Failure droplists. I'll leave it to others to correct my misunderstandings ...

Quiz scoring seems to be all or nothing?

Sorry if this is already answered elsewhere...
I create 1 quiz slide, eg fill in the blank, and have 8
blanks to fill in, and give the 'Points' field a value of 8.
Yet when I take the quiz, I have to get all 8 correct to get
the 8 points. If I miss even 1, I get 0 out of 8.
(yes I could put each of the 8 blanks on its own fill in the
blank slide, but that's not practical for what I'm doing)
Why doesn't there seem to be a scoring option for 7,6,5...
out of 8 correct? This also seems to be the case with other quiz
styles. Why is it all or nothing scoring?
Thanks for any help,
Keith

Hi Keith,
I'm finding the same, unfortunately. What sort of Hitler
designed the fill-in-the-blanks slide? "You scored less than 100%,
you worthless wretch. You must walk the plank."
How hard is it to loop through the fecking answers, checking
each one against a value? It's 2 arrays and a loop.
Please feel free to reply with a repudiation if we've
overlooked something here.
Thanks.
Pete.

Remediation Quiz Scoring?

I am using Captivate 6. I have a project of 60 slides including 10 quiz question slides. I am using Remediation. When the quiz is launched, I want my users to review the information slide if they select the wrong answer and return to the quiz.
My "attempts" is set to 1.
My Last Attempt sends my users to specific slides if they guess incorrectly.
Each slide is set to "return to quiz"
The Rememdiation process works great. I've tested all the quiz slides by choosing an incorrect answer then jumping to the review slide then returning to the quiz to select the correct answer.
However, at the Results slide at the end of the quiz states that I have FAILED the quiz. I don't understand why this is possible? Each time I 'return to the quiz' I select the 'correct' answer. Why would I get a Failing grade?
Can someone please explain this to me? And how I can resolve this issue? I need my users to 'Pass" the quiz if they achieve a passing grade even if they had to use the 'remediation slides.'
thanks!!!

Thanks for posting this. I had promised to explain the new functionalities in some articles, like I did in the past because of the lack of documentation by Adobe, but still didn't find the time and now have to transfer my blog to another host as well.
Indeed, I would never have suggested to increase the number of attempts at all, it should be possible to change the answer when getting back from the content slide even with only 1 attempt.
I will try to explain what I understand about 'Branch aware', a new feature as well. It makes the Quizzing system variables 'dynamic', instead of static. Normally when turned off, the maximum score, the number of question slides are fixed when the user takes the first question. If Branch aware is turned on, those values will be calculated dynamically from the question slides that are visited by the user. This means that if you provide a bunch questions for beginners, and another bunch for advanced users and the student chooses one of them, the maximum score and the number of questions that will appear on the score slide (and be used to calculate percentage and Pass/Fail status) are based only on that branch of questions.
Your experience now could be explained (have to double-check, please beware) as follows:
when the user comes back to a question slide, this is counted for a second time in the number of questions and its individual score is also added a second time to the maximum score
when the percentage is calculated (did you show it in the score slide?), since the total score is now more than normal, that percentage will be lower than expected
Pass/Fail status is checked based on that Percentage compared to the minimum percentage required, so this could explain the Fail status.
Something I really have to check out, and hopefully when my blog is transferred, try to tell other users about my exploring. I already did detect a lot of problems, and most (if not all) are solved in the latest patches/upgrades. Maybe this is another aspect that should be addressed, or at least get a warning dialog.
Here the links to the articles about question slides in previous versions:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/question-question-slides-part-2
Lilybiri
PS Only now checked your screenshots, did reply to your last mail. NaN means not available... so this could mean that Captivate is confused and didn't know or got stuck on updating the system variables cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints and cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Default status is Failed, and since CP cannot calculate the percentage, this will be reported as Failed.

Quiz Scoring with infinite attempts

Goal: When the user selects the wrong answer I want them to be able to continue to select answers until they select the correct answer BUT are graded "incorrect" for the score on that slide for picking the wrong answer first. I thought there was a way to do this but cannot find it. Suggestions.....

Sorry, i wasn't very clear on why I'm looking to do this. I'm actually looking to do it in an assessment rather than a quiz. What I'd like to happen is this:
-learner is given instructions and they need to click on an area of the screen.
-the first time they click on the wrong area of the screen, a caption appears giving them a hint (i'm not using the built-in hints in captivate, i've built something else that accomplishes this)
-the second time they click on the wrong area, a point is deducted from their score, and a caption appears telling them where they should've clicked. right now, i have this set up in captivate with a failure caption. i want the user to be forced to click the right area before they can progress in the assessment (hence the infinite attempts), but i want that second attempt to be scored.
thoughts on how to do this?? any help is greatly appreciated!

Problem with quiz scoring

I'm still having an issue with this.....
Total of 30 questions spread throughout the project. The
first 15 are set up as graded questions since I want to make sure
the learner gets them right, but I don't want the scores reported
so I have these set to zero point value and do not have report
answers checked. The last 15 are also graded questions, 10 points
each, and report answers are checked. Learner must get 70% or
better to pass. When I go through the course, the results slide is
showing total 30 questions and the number correct out of 30,
although it is only calculating the score for the last 15. Somehow
I need to separate these out so that only the last 15 are reported.
I tried changing the objective ID, but it changes it for all 30
questions so Captivate is looking at these as one pool of
questions. Any thoughts?

I don't see how you can specify some questions as "graded but
not reported". If you want to know how the user did at all, the
score must be reported.
Since it sounds like the Quiz Summary page is the holdup, you
might be able to get away with splitting the project into two
separate files with two different values for "quiz passing":
- one containing the first 15 questions (each scored as you
would any other quiz question) but give it an overall quiz passing
score of zero to ensure that the user always "passes"
- a second containing the "real" test questions with a "real"
quiz passing score
That way, the Quiz Summary page will reflect only the
questions in each file and you'll still have data for each set of
questions: one set of "user score not held against them" questions
and a set of "must achieve a minimum passing score"
questions.

Message GU506 when branching to line item report

Why is my results slide blank when branch aware selected?

Hi All.
I'm hoping that someone can help me.
I've created a relatively simple e-Learning course using Captivate 7, that has the following structure:
Part One Learning, Part One Assessment
Part Two Learning, Part Two Assessment
Part Three Learning, Part Three Assessment
Within each of the short assessments there are two alternatives to each question (so the learner has two chances to get a question right). So learner is presented with Q1, if they get that wrong they are presented with Q1b if they get it right they jump straight to slide Q2.
The module was set to 'branch aware' so that the results slide displays the correct percentages and ascertains if the learners has passed/failed based on the number of questions asked.
This all worked ok, but then we wanted to add some more functionality to the 'retake quiz option' which was as follows:
- 1st attempt the learners completes Part one learning, Part one assessment, Part two learning, Part two assessment, Part three learning, part three assessment (i.e the whole module).
If they don't get the pass mark then on the...
- 2nd attempt the learner only gets presented with each of the assessments (nb not Part One Learning, Part Two Learning, Part Three Learning split just the question slides).
If they don't get the pass mark then on the...
- 3rd attempt they go through the entire module again (Part one learning, Part one assessment, Part two learning, Part two assessment, Part three learning, part three assessment).
To achieve this I have set up the following advanced actions:
- On Results slide execute the 'success script' as per the attached.
Then on the slides immediately after the assessment questions I've added the following advanced actions on Enter to say that on the second quiz attempt go straight to the next assessment question.
The problem is that after adding these scripts then the results screen is blank.
I have set up the same advanced actions on a different project and it works fine, but that didn't need to have branch aware checked so I'm wondering if that is the root of the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Can anyone help identify where I may have gone wrong?
Many thanks
Lisa

Hi Rod
Thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify, there is only one quiz it's just split up into parts with 'learning' between questions (so there are three questions in part one, three in part two etc) and the answers to all questions answered should appear in the quiz results which is at the end of the module.
I was aware that the branch aware normally only shows the user those same quiz questions on their subsequent attempts and that is fine and works as I'd expect.
However if you think that the advanced actions skipping 'non question slides' might be confusing it I'll have to think of an alternative I guess.
Thanks
Lisa

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.

Quiz scoring

I am working on a 60 slide presentation where I have
"peppered" 20 quiz slides throughout the movie - on each question
slide, Captivate has correctly numbered the questions (1 of 20, 12
or 20, etc.). For quiz reporting, I'm simply setting up quiz mgr to
generate an email with quiz score, etc. When I publish and test the
file, Captivate is sending an email after question 1 - and saying
the user failed the test (when they haven't even seen the remaining
questions). Then it proceeds to send an email for each question
and/or set of questions (in some places I have 2 or 3 questions
grouped. Do all quiz slides need to be grouped together? Or is
there something I'm obviously missing (maybe the brain is already
in holiday mode?).
I want all the question slides (20 total) to be totaled at
the end of the movie, or at least the last question slide and one
email generated indicating pass/fail.

You are SO nice to send a sample to me. Thank you! That
helped and worked until I changed one thing in the quiz manager
setting -the reporting feature. Under the first tab - Reporting - I
clicked on Enable reporting for this project and clicked on email -
entered an email address and chose my report data, etc. Then when I
publish and take the test, it goes back to sending an email for
every question answered - not the total quiz summary (ultimately it
fails the user since they haven't had the chance to answer all the
questions) I have the questions set as follows:
- The movie is always going forward - never backward at any
point
- The user is required to answer all questions
- The summary slide immediately follows the last question
- Questions are checked to be reported
When I have all 20 questions grouped together at the end of
the movie, everything works perfectly - until I want the results
reported. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. The problem
comes when I mix the question slides into the content slides and
want to report the total number of questions in one report. We
don't use an LMS (pretty small) and just dump info into Excel - the
email has the data I need just not for every question - Captivate
numbers the questions correctly it just doesn't wait for all 20 to
be answered before it totals the score.
Thanks for your patience.

Captivate 5.5 - Getting an accurate quiz result when user skips a question and returns to complete it?

I have a Captivate 5.5 project with the following settings;
Questions are optional and interspersed in the content
Backward movement is allowed
Quiz results show a percentage correct and are for the learners information only
Issue:
When the user skips a question, views their results at the end of the project and then goes back to complete the skipped question, the quiz results do not add the skipped question to the previous total. Captivate appears to think that only the skipped question was completed. Any idea on how to fix this would be great. Thanks

I have been answering a similar question several times yesterday, here are two examples:
Continue button - result page.
Help with conditional action in C8
Varun's proposal is the same as I suggested, but first I'd want to know if you also allow Review? The stack order of the embedded buttons on the Score slide is:
bottom 'Continue'
above this one 'Review'
above 'Review' there is Retake
Often users hare confused by Review and Retake, and as you probably know, once the Review button has been clicked, the Retake option is over, user cannot take another attempt. This means that in most courses I will drag the Review button under the Retake button. Only when Quiz attempts are exhausted, the Review button will become available. But you cannot put the Continue button in the same location because it will never become visible. Have a workaround for that, you'll find it in the other threads. I'm missing one that I cannot find.
