Re-Ask Question after review on another slide

Question

Here is what i am trying to do and cant figure out. I want to
ask a question, if the person gets the answer wrong, go to the next
slide where i will have a full review with pictures and answers,
but then i want the user to be able to go back and be asked the
same quesiton again for a second attempt. Please help.

Answer 1

WELCOME to the all volunteer Captivate forums.
I use this technique quite a bit and there are some
limitations, but a future patch could eliminate the limitations,
we'll see.
1. Keep the course sections short and that means not more
than two sets of quizzes in any presentation. You can get around
the limit, but it is an unusual process that is not intuitive or
likely to be discovered by a user. I got the work-around from the
developers that could see how to deal with this in the code...
2. You need to set the Quiz settings to User Must Pass. Allow
the user 50 attempts in settings. Yu can try infinite and see if
that works for you.
3. have the flow idea already, but the key is that you MUST
go forward to go back (loop-back). The pattern is this:
Cover Slide
Slide 1
Slide 2
Pre-Quiz1 Slide
Quiz 1 - If correct Go To Slide 3
Failure 1
Failure Review Slide 1 - Go to Pre-Quiz1 Slide
Slide 3
Slide 4
Pre-Quiz2 Slide
Quiz 2 - If correct Go To END
Failure 2
Failure Review Slide 2 - Go to Pre-Quiz2 Slide
END Slide
4. Notice the use of the Go-To. Each slide allows you to
select from a variety of choices on success. The default is
CONTINUE. Quiz Slides have two options. On Success and on Failure
and you can set them to GOTO a particular slide. I highly recommend
that you label your slides (double click the thumbnails or edit the
slide properties) and enter logical slide names, which will appear
when you use the GOTO slide options.
5. In the above example I only have TWO Quiz sets. WHY? There
is a flaw in Captivate that allows only two of these to work. If
you add a third or fourth, etc, then the middle ones will not reset
the quiz on the loop-back and users will see only the prior
selections in gray and they will be protected from further entry.
The work-around that the programmers gave me was not intuitive. You
need to loop back to an early slide at the start of the
presentation and then have that early slide jump to the retake of
the quiz. So you might have something like this:
Cover Slide - Goes to Slide 1 next
Jump Quiz1 - Go To Pre-Quiz1 Slide
Jump Quiz2 - Go To Pre-Quiz2 Slide
Jump Quiz3 - Go To Pre-Quiz3 Slide
Slide 1
Slide 2
Pre-Quiz1 Slide
Quiz 1 - If correct Go To Slide 3
Failure 1
Failure Review Slide 1 - Go to Jump Quiz 1
Slide 4
Slide 4
Pre-Quiz2 Slide
Quiz 2 - If correct Go To Slide 4
Failure 2
Failure Review Slide 2 - Go to Jump Quiz 2
Slide 5
Slide 6
Pre-Quiz3 Slide
Quiz 2 - If correct Go To END
Failure 3
Failure Review Slide 3 - Go to Jump Quiz 3
END Slide
Almost any combination of the above will work and you can go
directly to the Quiz from the Jump and not the pre-quiz slide. The
point is, that you need to be in the FRONT to get the quiz to reset
the answers when you do the GoTo, but you must FIRST ALWAYS go
forward after a quiz to get it to score.
Hope that helps
