Quiz slides

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble using the quiz slides.
For example, I've tried a very simple Yes/No slide and it
appears in edit mode with 'Correct, click anywhere to continue',
'Incorrect...', 'You must answer the question..." and a review
area.
Despite fiddling with these boxes, I'm still unsure what to
do.
Any help?

You will see thos options/preferences in the view you are in.
You can click on the Preveiw button and see what the user will
see.

  • How do I add interactive objects to a quiz slide?

    Hello, I'm having a Captivate 5 problem and can't seem to find an answer on the web or in the forums.  I'm creating a quiz in which I'd like to ask multiple choice questions.  For each answer option I'd like the user to be able to click on something - the answer text, an additional image, something - that would open a web page in a separate browser tab or window.  That new window would contain information related to the linked answer option.  This way the users can assess the relevance of each option in relation to the question.
    I've tried using the "Advanced Answer Option" option but that only opens a window when the answer is submitted.  Before I sat down to do this I was thinking I'd just add image buttons on the page, but it turns out that I can't add buttons, text inputs and several other options in a quiz slide.
    If anyone has any ideas on how to work around this I'd really appreciate hearing them.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Hi Steve, thanks so much for the quick reply! 
    The Button Widget does the job admirably, I can add it in and even make it invisible with the alpha setting so it appears that an image is the actual link.  Totally lets me do what I wished!
    Thanks again!

  • User cannot Click Anywhere to Continue on some quiz slides

    In Captivate 4, on some quiz slides, after the correct answer has been submitted, the user must click on the "click anywhere to continue" box in order to move ahead. This happens only on some quiz slides. Others, the user really can click anywhere. And, this doesn't happen all the time on every computer. It usually happens on the same slides but not always. It happens in Explorer and Firefox and occasionally Chrome, but not as often. Haven't encountered the problem using Safari, yet, but have tested it.
    I reported it through the report bug link in case it is a bug. All of the slides have the same setting, so I don't know why it's happening on some slides and not others.

    Hi there
    Thanks for reporting as a bug. I might suggest that as a work around, you change the captions to read "Click here to continue". At least it would guide the user to the right and expected outcome.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

    Hi,
    None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
    I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
    Is this possible?
    If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
    I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
    cheers

    Hi there
    Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)

  • Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server

    version 4.0
    Output - swf\htm
    Hello
    Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
    Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
    So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
    thanks in advance
    ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
    Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks
    Message was edited by: marktko

    thanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
    I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
    Mystery solved - thanks again !

  • Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
    I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
    Many thanks,
    Ross

    You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.

  • Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

    Hi,
    I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool.  The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens.  You can't get off the quiz slide.  The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
    Thanks!
      Lori

    I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
    Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
    Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
    For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
    I can finally finish this project.
    Good luck.

  • Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

    I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
    I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
    I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
    Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
    Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
    However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

  • Added help button to quiz slide

    I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
    like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
    All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    -Mark

    Hi Mark
    I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
    Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
    your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
    Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
    pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
    just moving on.
    Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
    so all you end up with is the .SWF.
    Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
    slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
    .SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
    on a Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Clickboxes on quiz slides

    I really need to add some click boxes to quiz slides for some added navigation. Is there any type of workaround to do that since that option is grayed out?
    Thanks!
    - Kristen

    Kristen,
    Could you tell which version you are using? If you are using CP5.5 or earlier, as Rod points out the static button widget could help you, because it has navigation functionalities, but you have to be careful not to leave the quiz scope. On CP6 this will be easier because quiz scope is dynamic.

  • CP7 - quiz slides continue to play after timeline

    I'm using quiz slides with audio in Captivate 7.
    The audio plays, I choose an answer and click Submit, then click Y to continue, and whether I'm right or wrong, the playbar is only 1/2 - 2/3 way through the slide.  So I have to wait while the slide plays out, long after the audio (and the slide) ends.
    The Results slide that follows is hidden, with the option turned off in Preferences, so the quiz slide is usually the last slide of the project.
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks for any help,
    Marion

    Default pausing point for question slides (and score slide) is half its timeline. With the default timeline duration of 3 secs this means that after the two-step process still 1.5secs has to go.
    Have a look at my explanations, and tweaking possibilities:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-part-2
    You can move the pausing point more towards the end, but only with the mouse (there is no Timing accordion). Or you can change the Continue option to 'Go to Next Slide' both for Success/Failure.
    BTW this is nothing new, has always been the case. The posts were written for previous versions.
    I would recommend to add a last slide after the last question slide, it doesn't have to be the Score slide, certainly if you want to report to a LMS (allow little bit of time to CP)

  • Quiz Slides inserted into other slides??

    Is it possible to insert a quiz slide into another slide with content on it?  I have a short story in a series of about 11 slides, and would like the user to be able to answer some questions pertaining to the paruticular slides as they unfold.  Is it possible to manipulate a multiple choice question that is inserted in another slide, and/or can the question even be inserted into a story slide?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sabrina
    Accept my apologies for this late answer, last week has been very hectic. I will try to make it up, will send you a link to the example slide I did create if this is really what your wanted. You'll find a screenshot.
    I create a slide with a duration of 10secs. The drawing I created (SimpleDiagrams) is visible for the duration of the slide.
    To the slide an audio is attached (it is music here, but you will have a narration, that has a timeline of 7secs. After those 7secs, the question appears (see timeline screenshot). It has 4 Text captions:
    Question itself (How many men...), labeled it Quest1
    3. 4. The three possible answers, labeled Ans1_1, Ans1_2 and Ans1_3
    The answers are covered with 3 click boxes, CB1_1, CB1_2 and CB1_3. They do only have a Success Caption, deleted Failure as well as Hint Caption. The caption gives the feedback to the user (on the screenshot I show the feedback for the correct answer). All captions are in the same location, have same size. To each caption I attached the appropriate object audio. It will play when the caption appears.
    Finally I have a 'Next' button, that is initially set to invisible in the Properties, but will become visible when the correct answer has been chosen. You have to make sure that the pausing time of this button is after the pausing time of the click boxes. I labeled this button BtNext1
    I created 2 standard advanced actions, really simple ones:
    rewind to be attached to all click boxes that sit on top of incorrect answers; they will rewind the playhead so that it will not continue when the click box is clicked (which is the default behavior); since there is nothing specific to the slide object ID's, this can be reused on all question slides; action has one statement:
    Assign   rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume with rdinfoCurrentFrame
    success to be attached to the click box on top of the correct answer (here CB1_2); it doesn't have to rewind the playhead, but will show the button that pauses the slide again (a little bit later on the timeline because the pausing time is later than for the click boxes);  this action has a slide specific object ID (the label of the button), so you will have to duplicate it to have an instance for each slide, and change the button identification (label); to make editing easier I chose this typical label, you will only have to change the last character if you label your buttons with this logical names; this action has only one statement as well:
    Show  BtNext1

  • Quiz slides backward movement, the Nav bar dissapears

    Hi,
    When I enable the back button in quiz slides for CP 6 the nav bar disappears on the previous content slides. It randomly shows up once you click slides from the menu. Is there a way to have backward movement and see the nav bar on previous screens?
    I have tried adding the nav bar back to the quiz slides thinking that the user would not be able to move forward until they click the correct answer but that isn't working either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi GillianKeisker,
    Thank you for contatcting adobe support.
    Can you please send us the screen shot for the same because its working fine at our end.
    Thanks

  • Quiz slides inserted in project; subsequent slide has audio

    Hi,
    I inserted a couple of quiz slides, true/false and multiple choice, in between 2 regular slides that have audio. When I run my project, I see the quiz slide, but the audio plays as if the quiz slides are not there. In other words, the audio for the subsequent slide plays while the quiz slide is displayed. For example:
    Slide 1 has audio
    Slide 2 is quiz
    Slide 3 is quiz
    Slide 4 has audio
    When I play, my audio goes from slide 1 to slide 4, while displaying slide 2
    I know I must have some basic setting incorrect. My quiz slides are set to On Success - Continue. The surrounding slides are set to On Enter - Continue, On Exit - No Action.
    Help!

    In Captivate you can insert audio on objects, on a single slide, and across multiple slides.
    Is it possible that your audio has been inserted to span more than one slide instead of slide-by-slides?
    If for example you had originally added your audio to a number of timed slides, and then inserted more slides in between, you may have confused Captivate as to where the audio needed to play.
    I may be on the wrong track here but thought it worth suggesting.

  • Positioning quiz slide objects

    I am working on a Captivate 5 project with many quiz slides. The quiz slides were put into the project by someone else. I need to move the various quiz slide objects (submit button, back button, clear button, question text, review area, hint caption, and so forth).
    These objects need to be moved to the same position in all of the quiz slides. I've been moving these objects into place one by one and it is very tedious.
    Is there a way to set up a style to move all of these objects on all quiz slides at once?

    Each of the objects you mention on the quiz slide are a special type of object in Captivate.
    So although Object Styles do not allow you to specify the X and Y coordinates of an object, you CAN just move one of these objects on one slide to the location you want them all to be, and then go to the Position and Size accordion in the Properties tab (Transform accordion in Cp5.5), look for the small dropdown in the top right corner of the accordion, and choose the option to Apply to all items.
    The name is a bit misleading because it make you think this will actually apply the positioning setting to every item in the project.  But the fact is that it will only apply it to items OF THE SAME OBJECT TYPE. So although you would never do this for something like text captions in the main part of your project, you can safely do it for things like Submit, Clear, Back, and Next buttons in quiz slides because each of them are actually totally different object types as far as Captivate is concerned.
    Note also the option to Apply to all items of same style.  This means you can create custom styles and apply them to just certain buttons or captions if you only wanted SOME items to be positioned in a certain way, while all other items should retain their original positions.
