Reset question slides

Hello
I have some question slides in my course that are not scored. After the questions have been answered or skipped and the learner clicks on the rewind button to re start the course the question slides are greyed out.
How do I make the questions active again and keep being active everytime some one clicks on rewind to re start the course.
Help!

I think you will need to relaunch the quiz for each of the users.

Retake Quiz button not resetting questions

Hi all
I have a quiz with 7 questions, all single-answer questions.
When the quiz results are displayed, the Retake Quiz button is displayed if they have failed the quiz.
Upon clicking Retake Quiz, it takes me back to the start of the quiz, however, the previous answers given have not been reset and the question is greyed out.
I've been reading various posts on here, indicating that similar things are happening, however I couldn't find the reason with the quiz settings that I have:
Quiz is set to Answer All.
Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
I thought that by increasing the number of attempts allowed on each question that this would solve it, but this just allows me to keep trying on each question until I hit the right answer, and does not seem to solve the problem.
I'm really not sure as to why, when using the Retake Quiz button, it is not resetting the quiz.
Any help greatly appreciated!
regards
Loraine

Hi again
I have now changed the settings in the quiz as per Lilybiri's suggestion. I now have the following quiz settings in place:
Quiz is set to Required - the user must take the quiz to continue.
Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
Captivate 4 - AS 2.
After answering all the quiz questions, and failing, and clicking Retake Quiz button, some of the answers remain greyed out. It will not let you click Reset and will then automatically move on to the next question slide.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it... sometimes the correct answer remains greyed out, and sometimes an incorrect answer remains greyed out. Sometimes when I click Retake Quiz none of the answers are greyed out, but then if i keep failing the quiz, the answers begin to appear greyed out. I have double-checked that i've set the number of attempts on the quiz to 100.
I have also tried using the Back navigation button within a quiz, to go back and change my answer, but the answers remain greyed out, and pressing Reset makes no difference.
It seems the only way I've managed to get a 'clean' retake at the quiz, is to exit from the e-learning, then go back in to it. But this is not going to be an acceptable method, when my company want to give learners the option to retake the quiz only if they fail, and not redo the whole package to get to the quiz at the end.

Going back in tutorial renders unanswered question slides void

Hi, I have looked through the last few months of questions and don't see exactly my issue.
I have a Captivate 4 project that is linear and has questions (no scores reported to LMS) throughout to reinforce learning.
When a learner gets to a quiz item in the series and wants to jump back to an earlier content slide (using TOC or back arrow on Nav bar--I don't have back arrow on Question slide itself.) they can't return to the question and take it. The question appears to be locked up and they get the error message below. This is a question they never tried.
I don't put a back button on the question because I don't like to encourage that, but I do have on the Quiz settings to "Allow backward movement". If that will fix the problem, then I'll add that button. Just wondering if there is another setting I can change.
The question settings are:

Yes, I had to do something, so I changed the number of attempts to unlimited. That did fix the problem. Guess if we aren't scoring the items, we need them guess as many times as they like. This automatically resets the question for reentry from anyplace.
Thanks.

Single question slide issue in captivate 6

Hi,
I am new to captivate 6. I need to achive following functionality:
1. Single check point question slide without result page which will be MCQ or any type of question.
Consider the sinario for MCQ question
2. If user doesnot select any option, he should be informed about the same (which is happening at my end but not more than 1 time even after the attempt count is infinite)
3. There should be next button in disable state
4. if user selects wrong answer and click submit, he should get wrong feedback without the whole screen patch. He will click on retry button to close the feedback and reset the question
5. if user click on right answer and click submit, he will get right feedback and next button will get enabled
6. This Question should reset everytime you visit the page.
Let me know if this is possible in captivate 6?
Thanks,
Omkar

Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!

Hi Itzelm, KurryKid,
The HTML5 trackers doesn't tell you every feature that is not supported, sorry. It will never tell you that a lot of Effects are not supported either. There is an 'incomplete' list of supported features in the Help documentation. Here is my list (bit rough, no nice layout, sorry)
Supported effects in HTML5
Entrance- Fly-in (all) - Ease-in (all)Exit - Fly-out (all) - Ease-out (all)Motion Path - Left-to-Right - Left-to-Right Ease - Pentagon - Rectangle - Right-to-left ease
- Right-to-left3point - RightToLeft - Triangle - ZigZag
Audio objects (audio attached to invisible objects)
If project is paused, audio attached to object that is made visible will not play in HTML whereas it does in SWF
No rollovers (caption, image, slidelet)
Questions:
No Likert, FIB, Short Answer, Matching
No question pools, random questions
No right-click, double click
No Text animations, no SWF animations(animated GIF possible)

Adding variables to match question slides

Hi All,
I am using Captivate 7 and need your help/idea/expertise on this. I am trying the following:
Adding a drag and drop slide wherein I should be able to drop the source to any target.
If the drop happens on the correct option (this is the challenge, how can I define the correct answer!), a message should flash saying "You are right"
If even a single drop goes wrong, then I the right answers should flash, (this I can create a new slide though)
But to set such conditions what should I exactly do? Please help.
Thanks,
Roja

The title of your question is bit confusing. Why should you have to add variables to match question slides?
The content of your question is totally different: each D&D slide can act as a question slide. It doesn't really have all the features of a question slide but most of them: Reporting, Score (only black/white, not partial score/penalty), Attempts, Actions On Success/Failure. When it is configured as a question its score will be reset when the user 'Retakes' a quiz with multiple attempts on quiz level etc. Progress quiz indicator will not be included however. And defining the correct answers is a breeze with the wizard or with the button Correct Answers.
The best part about D&D are IMO the 'Object actions': you can specify an advanced action for each drag&drop act and that is what you need. Do not use a simple action, because it will release the play head. That action can show a feedback text/object that was previously hidden, it can apply an effect to an object like flashing, etc. This blog post was written for CP8, but can help maybe:

Navigation issues with question slides in Captivate 6

In earlier versions of Captivate (5.5) we have always been able to insert question slides into our projects as checkpoints and allow the user to freely navigate through the project and answer the checkpoint questions as often as they like. We have also been able to provide success and failure feedback popups for those question.
In Captivate 6 we are seeing that question slides can apparently only be answered once and do not reset to be answered again the next time the user navigations to those slides. We want to allow the user to answer checkpoint questions as often as they like and we need to be able to provide success and failure feedback popups. We have tried every imaginable combination of setting with no success. Has anyone else been experiencing this or have a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Vernon . . .

When I run the same projects with the exact same settings side by side in Captivate 5 and Captivate 6, in the Cap 5 project I can navigate the project freely and answer the checkpoint questions repeatedly as often as I like. As I navigate the questions are reset and can be answered again every time I enter the question slides.
In Cap 6 the questions are locked after the first answer and cannot be answered a second time. Even stranger is the fact that when tested using only a subset of the slides adjacent to the question slide (next 3) it works and does appear to reset the question allowing repeated answers, but it fails when the entire project is run.
I have asked our other developers to test this and they are experiencing the same problem with their projects.
The only difference I can see between the two projects is that the Quiz results slide in Cap 6 cannot be deleted whereas it does not exist in the Cap 5 project ???

Multiple fill blank objects on one question slide?

Hellou CP users, is it possible to put multiple fill blank objects on one question slide? And if, how can I manage them for quiz reporting and correct results?
Yarik

I think indeed that you want a score for each fill-in-the-blank object, and that is not possible with the default FIB question slides. Only MCQ has partial scoring.
With TEB's and advanced actions that is possible. Also with the TextArea widget, as I explained in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/widgets-and-custom-questions-part-2
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
TEB's have the advantage that as interactive objects, you can attach a score to them which is not the case for the TextArea widgets. But I would recommend getting Jim Leichliter's enhanced version of the TEB's as well, so that you can control what is shown in the TEB if you want to create a question with multiple attempts. I have described a use case recently in these forums but cannot remember exactly which thread. Jim's widget is free:

Is there ANY way to have a static widget over the top of a question slide?

I have a popup reference widget that I made and put it in a master slide and set it to ply on top, BUT if I add it to a question slide, the text from the question shows over it.
Any way to have a widget always be on the absolute top?
Click on the MSDS tab at bottom reveals popup, but the question text appears over the widget even though it is in a master slide set to shop on top.
Ideas?

Once your widget is on the slide, it has complete control over the display tree. So what you can do is to move up the parent hierarchy until you find the slide (parent.parent.parent) and then re-parent yourselft or you popup window on top of the hierarchy by just calling addChild(). That works well for the static widgets. You just need to deal with the position being different on the slide so you'll have to juggle with localToGlobal() and globalToLocal().

Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

Hi,
I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoharan.A

Welcome to the forum,
Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

Resetting a slide upon reentry

is there a way to reset a slide on reentry so you're not in the middle of a activity. i know in storyline you can either pick and option to reset the slide (if someone uses the back or forward buttons to get to that slide again) or start from where the slide paused.
if you finish a slide that had a game or activity, if you hit the back button to go back to that slide it doesn't reset the game it just shows you where you last left off.
any suggestions

I'm always resetting with an advanced/shared action triggered On Enter for a slide, where I expect to be returning. When you return to the slide, it will return to the first frame (not where you left), but objects that have been shown/hidden, variables that have been changed will remain the way they were when you left the slide. Have multiple examples on my blog, those situations have to be taken into account when you analyze the scripting.
As for the learning interactions: they are automatically reset when you go back to a slide. I don't know what you mean by 'game'? If it is a custom game, you have to take care of resetting yourself.

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

Placeholders on questions slides in Master Slide view or/and copying placeholders

Hi,
I have been building soem changes into our template and I noticed that you cannot add Placeholder objects on the Question slides, but also, when puting placeholders on other master slides, you canot copy and paste them from master slide to master slide...?
Do others find this and is it a bug or by design?
Cheers
Rossco

Hi Rossco
Captivate offers some system variables that you can use. For example, if you click File > Project Info, you get the screen below:
In that case, I typed Goof Ball into the Project Name field.
This means that what I typed into that field is now available to me in that system variable. So if I add a Caption I can insert the variable as shown:
And during playback, I see this:

Can I modify a question slide to include more than 5 qs in same slide

Hey everyone.
I'd like to know If I can modify a question slide to include more than one question in the same slide.
I'd like to include a slide with audio and some video in the left page and on the right page I'd like to include a q slide that can have more than one question to pertain to the input in the left page. But I wouldnt want to dupicate the left page.I'd like to include one page with input and the other page (right) with questions ( fill in the blank, multiple choice etc) just one slide of course.
I don't want to fill up the project with a bunch of question slides. The purpose of the activity is for the participant to listen to the input only once and start getting quizzed ( extracting detailed info, forecasting etc etc)
Thanks

Please take a look at the screenshots,
you can see how I have selected to execute the following advanced action on the submi tbutton howver there are a number of things going wrong and I doubt it's cause of the syntax as I've done ertythig as instructed!
I'm executing the actions once the Submit button is clicked.
I've placed the actions in the same "file" TF1 -TF5.
After TF5 I've placed the show to shoe the results ...
QUESTION:
This action was created seperateley cause it's a standard action and autmatically sent me elsewhere, not the same file... ???
Is that right?
I'm not getting a slide to show the feedback.
Why?
Timeline in question...???
