Return to quiz

Is there a way to clear the previously-entered answer when returning to quiz?

I am talking about remediation. I have Hot Spot quiz slides, and I'm concerned that some users will just click on the correct spot without clearing the incorrect ones and get stuck in a loop. If I can use an advanced action to clear their previous answer, that is my preference. If I can't I'll use an advanced action to show text to clear their previous answer before re-selecting.

Remediation - 'Return to Quiz' button?

Hi folks,
I've just watched an excellent Lynda.com course on Captivate 8 (Essential Training). However, one issue has confused me and this is on remediation. I've used remediation in the past, and sometimes the slide movement become a bit 'sticky' and I don't really like to use the 'Next' navigation button for the 'Return to Quiz' action.
The course says that if you have a quiz question that returns to an earlier slide (i.e. via remediation) you can create a new button that states 'Return to Quiz' (i.e. in addition to any existing navigation buttons), make the action for this new button 'Return to Quiz' and this button will not appear in the normal flow of the course, but will appear if the slide is visited via the remediation route in the end quiz.
To quote Lynda.com 'This is a special action that's going to keep the button hidden unless they navigate to the slide straight from the quiz'. However, when I have tried this, the new button appears in the normal flow of viewing the course?
I have watched this part of the course a number of times and it appears they are definitely saying that the new 'Return to Quiz' button should only appear when visited via the quiz.
Are they wrong? Captivate 8 bug?
Cheers,
John

I didn't watch the CP8 course on Lynda, but I found the previous course of very low quality, totally different from what they normally offer for the 'big' Adobe applications. Just FYI I'm an almost daily user of Lynda. Again you prove here that there are quite a lot of 'bugs' in that course, half-explained or even wrongly explained work flows and bad practice tell me that the creator is certainly not an expert Captivate user. Sorry for that ranting but I have spent so many hours in trying to clarify work flows to Captivate users that took that course and got stuck very quickly when they tried to use the acquired knowledge.
Remediation is not hiding the button. You need a Next button and have to trigger the action 'Return to Quiz' with that button. When the content slide is visited from another content slide, the Next button will automatically execute the action 'Go to Next Slide', but when the slide is visited from a Question slide, the Next button will get the user back to the Question slide. Only when the question will be answered correctly, will he be able to continue with the Quiz.
Again, this is NOT a Captivate bug, this is a bug in your 'excellent' course.

Return to quiz not working

I'm having trouble with the return to quiz function in Captivate 7. I have tried a number of solutions to work around this but none seem to be working. I have a project with a series of course slides followed by a quiz. I have set some of the quiz slides to 'jump to' relevant course slides on failure and set the next button on those course slides to return to the quiz. I seem to be running into two issues:
when playing through the course slides for the first or subsequent times the return to quiz button seems to become stuck (on most occasions, not consistently). It does not progress to the next slide and the playhead indicates that the project has stopped playing. Hitting play on the playhead progresses the slide but it is a frustrating experience.
when taking the quiz, the remedial learning seems to work well the first time the quiz is taken but not once ‘retake quiz’ is selected. On retaking the quiz, the correct slide is jumped to on failure but instead of the return to quiz button sending the user back to the quiz, the button seems to function like a ‘go to next slide' button. The user then cannot seem to be able to return to the quiz.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check if you have perhaps changed your Quiz settings to disable Backward movement. That might account for your issue where Remediation is not working now.
Return to Quiz is designed to work with normal interactive objects such as Text Buttons, Image Buttons, or Shape Buttons, but NOT playbar buttons because Captivate does not allow you to script the functionality of the playbar buttons.
You will need to add a text button or similar to the remediation slide and set it's On Success action to Return to Quiz. If the remediation slide is NOT reached from a quiz question then that button will simply default to a Go to Next Slide action. However, IF the slide is visited as a result of a jump from an unsuccessful quiz question THEN the button's Return to Quiz action will kick in.
Be aware that using Return to Quiz gives your learners potentially unlimited extra tries on the quiz questions. And in doing so it can mean they get caught in an endless loop as long as they do NOT successfully complete the quiz question slide.

Remediation/Return to Quiz Quest.

I tried return to quiz, and it always sends me back to the missed question. Is there a way using Return to Quiz that will bring the learner to the next question? In other words, I want the missed score to stay, just want the learner to understand why they missed, then return to the next question.
Thank you.

Cp7 Trouble with Return to Quiz:

Hi Folks,
I have a quiz at the end of a presentation and I want the user to jump to a remedy slide upon failure of the question. This works fine but whenever I set either the 'Next' button or slide's 'On Exit' action to 'Return to Quiz' when I run the slides the button NEVER advances as normal, the user cannot progress at all. If Iset it to the On Exit action the user can move to the next slide but will not be returned to the quiz after arriving at the slide from the quiz. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works so I assume I'm missing something or failed to set a property correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nelson

Thanks for your input but itis already set at potional. I've tried adjusting the 'Settings' but nothing changes.
It just will not advance the slides when navigating normally, the button just clicks and nothing happens. It also does it if I set the button to 'Go to next slide' and apply the 'Return to quiz' to the 'On exit' action instead.
It is really frustrating as I have no idea why this is happening, I'm going to build a mock set of slides and see if I can get it to work on another slide set then at least I'll know if it is a setting within the project or within Captivate itself.
Thanks again.

Editing Submit All "Return to Quiz" button caption

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to change the Submit All window's "Return to Quiz" button to "Return to Exam" but don't see where I can do it. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have solution for you.
Close Adobe Captivate if you have it opened.
Go to: Adobe Captivate/en-US/
Back up files strings.txt and strings.zdct.
Open strings.txt.
Find text you want to change. Save the file. Make copy of it and rename it to strings.zdct which is placed in same folder.
This solution works just for projects made from blank after doing this tutorial. It doesn´t work for your old projects sadly, even when you resave them.
Here is test result with special characters working.

PLEASE help. Return to Quiz is creating problems

Thank you for reading this question.
I am using Captivate 6 with all updates.
I have a pretty lengthy tutorial. I wanted to implement remediation, which means the learner, when at the quiz, will be sent back to the slide with the correct answer, then returned to the quiz question he or she missed.
This should not be a problem. However...
As the learner progresses through the lesson (not the quiz section) the first time and gets to the slide right after "jump to quiz", the slide seems to stop at the beginning, displaying initial content, but stopping. It does not play the audio, and does not present additional information within the slide. If you press the play button at the bottom of the course, it procedes as normal. This is happening for every slide when remediation is requestion.
Details: For each quiz question, I have set "Last Attempt" to jump to slide. The slide provides the correct information located during the course. That is all I have changed for Quiz Properties. Let's say we are jumping back to slide 26.
At Slide 26, I click on my button to continue. For action, I change the option for "on success" to "return to quiz".
Here's the kicker. So when published or viewed, we get to slide 26 without problem. As it procedes to slide 27, this is where it displays initial information at time 0, but does not continue, nor plays audio.
As a test, I have deleted all frames in slide 27 with the exception of audio, or other. No good.
This is happening for ALL "return to quiz" actions.
This should not be rocket science. But I am totally stuck in the water. Would anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?
Published as executable, viewed in latest FF and IE, as well as viewed within Captivate.
Thank you!

Well I found the answer. I was duplicating slides, and apparently this didn't work well with return to quiz element. Still not sure why, but when I created new slides, the remediation worked perfectly. Go figure. Hope this helps anyone else out who encounters a similar problem.

CP 8.01 - Hiding the Submit button when returning to Quiz slide

Hi,
After answering a quiz and returning to the same slide later on, the submit button is still present but disabled. I would like for it to be removed/hidden entirely since IMO, I do not think that you have to display it once you have answered the question. Is there a way to do this?
David

Captivate provides no way to do this. You cannot hide the Submit button another object either.

Cannot clear answers in quiz after returning from jump to slide.

Hi, I apologize if this has been answered previously. I couldn't find a thread containing the information.
I recently upgraded from Captivate 6 to 8 (yes, I know...) and when I created the quiz for this project, I have the learners who answer the questions incorrectly going through remediation using the jump to slide on last attempt. The jump to works fine and returning to the quiz works fine. However, when the learner returns to the quiz, the previous incorrect answers are still displayed and the clear button is non-functional. This doesn't allow them to revise their answer and move forward.
I compared it to a similar project that I created in Captivate 6, and it seems that all the options in the quiz preferences and the question's quiz properties are the same, yet it is working properly in the Captivate 6 project (even when previewed in Captivate 8).
Am I overlooking something simple here?
Thanks!

Indeed, the On Exit event is not to be trusted at all, you need an
interactive object, that gets a double functionality. In the video it has
Continue or Return to Quiz, but you can also use 'Go to Next Slide' instead
of Continue. Sorry that I didn't point immediately to that video. It is
short but pretty clear.

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-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.

Remediation with retake quiz glitch

I've run across a glitch when using remediation in a few quiz slides when also using the option to retake a quiz.
If you have a file with questions that use remediation and the user gets a failing grade, once they click the restart quiz button and answer a question with remediation incorrectly, the Return to Quiz button on the remedation content slide doesn't send the user back to the quiz. Instead the Return to Quiz button just sends the user to the following slide. The remediation works correctly the first time the user remediates prior to failing the quiz, but the remediation doesn't function properly when they're retrying it.
The link to the file below is to the Captivate 7.01 file
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23385824/RemediationFailure/RemediationGlitch.cptxhttp ://
If you don't have the recent 7.01 update you can view a published version of the file here, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23385824/RemediationFailure/RemediationGlitch.htm
The first time viewing the file answer the first question incorrectly so you can see that the remediation is functioning. Since Captivate's remediation doesn't allow you to fail a question using remediation, you'll have to select the correct answer in the first quiz slide in order to get to the next question. If you answer the second quiz slide incorrectly the quiz will fail and show the Retry Quiz button. After clicking the Retry Quiz button answer the first question incorrectly to be sent to the first slide for remediation so you can see that clicking on the Next > button will send you to the next slide instead of back to the quiz.
I've tested this out in Captivate 7 and 6 and the glitch exists in both versions.

Issue in Quiz Remediation

Hello All,
I have been facing an issue with Quiz remediation.
I have developed a course with 30 slides dividing it into three sets.
After every set of slides I have inserted a set of 10 questions.
Now, as the user gets any question wrong i have directed it to a specific slide. From where the next button returns back to the incorrectly answered question on clicking next. (using advanced action "go to next slide + return to quiz").
After user successfully completes the first set of questions he/she can progress to the next set of slides which also have the remediation functionality for the second set of questions.
The problem comes in the first slide of the second set of slides. When I click next it takes me back to the last slide of the first set of questions.
I have tried using advanced actions and searched everywhere but could not find any such issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Mirza

Captivate 6 includes a new feature called Return to Quiz.
You can set the On Last Attempt action on the Quiz slide to jump to your remediation slide (3). You can place a button on that slide labelled as Next and set its action as Return to Quiz. The first time the user passes through that remediation slide, the button action defaults to Continue. But if you returned to that slide from a failed question slide, then on clicking the button again it would jump you back to the question slide you just failed, and the user would be given another attempt at the question.
I'm not personally in favour of this particular 'feature' because it basically means the user can loop around as many times as they want until they get the question correct. In my view this isn't great instructional design.
But it might be good enough for what you want.

Quiz Remediation

Hello Again,
While working within captivate 6 quizzing functionality I came across this helpful video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9wcgup4s8&feature=related
This video speaks to the ability to set a quiz question such that if you answer wrong it will send you to the slide that has the information you need on it then send you bank to the quiz question to try answering again.
I have looked at how he has done this and tried to copy his actions but I have yet to achieve the same results.
Is there an impornt piece of information he is missing or a property that needs to be set somewhere else?
Please help me make what he does in this video reality.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Remediation feature. However the remediation works only when there is an interactive object like click box etc. Instead of using any interactive object is it possible to use the next button that is there in the course to allow the learner to Return to Quiz when they have reviewed the content? We want to use the button to navigate the learner to the next slide when they first visit the slide.
As per the help for Captivate it is
For example, consider that you have a content slide that you want to use as a remedy slide for users who get a question wrong. When you change the action for the button on the content slide as Return To Quiz:
The button behaves like a 'next' button when the users visit the slide for the first time.
This behaviour helps you treat the slide like a regular content slide.
We want the same button to behave as Return to Quiz and and Go to Next Slide.
Thank you

Remediate to content slide; return to question; then continue on - using Captivate 8

Using Captivate 8, I’m trying to remediate from a Knowledge Check question slide back to a content slide, then back to the KC question to try again, and then continue on from there. On my first instance, this works fine. However, the problems began on the second instance and continue on each instance thereafter. The settings on the KC question slides are all the same with the exception of which slide each jumps to for remediation. I don't understand why it works the first time, but doesn’t work after that. On the second instance the question jumps back to the content slide, but then skips any subsequent slides.   Anyone had a similar experience? Know of a workaround or what I might be doing wrong?
FYI, I'm using he E-Learning Uncovered Adobe Captivate 8 book by Elkins, Pinder, and Slade as a reference, and it clearly describes how to do this on page 183, "Remediation back to Content Slides - If students get a question wrong, you can branch back to one or several slides where the content was taught and then return them back to the quiz to retry the question. To add remediation branching: 1) in the last attempt field on the question, set a Jump to Slide action to the first slide with the content. 2) On the last slide with the content, add a return to Quiz action on the slide's next button. On the content slide, the Next button with the Return to Quiz action executes a Continue action under normal circumstances, but returns students to the quiz if that's where they came from."
Please see content map below:

Slide 1 – Content
Slide 2 – Content
Slide 3 – Content
Slide 4 – Content

Slide 6 – Content
Slide 7 – Content

Slide 11 – Content (here’s the first problem; on click, slide 11 jumps to the Knowledge Check Question on Slide 13, skipping slide 12)
Slide 12 – Content
Slide 13 – Knowledge Check Question that remediates back to slide 11 if user misses on 2 attempts to answer; slide 11 should return user here for one last try at question, then advance to Slide 14

Slide 18 – Content

I've tried contacting Adobe, too, but with no clear resolution yet.  One suggestion they gave me was to put the slide you are remediating back to right before the question slide. However, if you can only remediate back to the slide immediately before the question slide, that limits this functionality severely. My solution has been to remediate to a duplicate, but separate content slide using buttons rather than quiz logic. Cumbersome, but it works.

Remediate to content slide; return to question; then continue on - using Captivate 8
created by camelothome in Quizzing/LMS - View the full discussionI have the same problem with my project. If the player detects that a quiz has begun, it sees it as in quiz scope. Thus, when it encounters the next slide after the quiz slides that has "Return to Quiz" as the Exit Action, it instead goes to the next set of quiz questions and skips a bunch of content slides. I don't know where I read it, but I thought that if the slide was being visited for the first time, and did not come from a quiz, the "Return to Quiz" would have no effect and it would continue to the next content slide. Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought that was the correct behavior. I've attempted to get help from Adobe, but the operator was not very helpful. He wanted me to upload my file using wetransfer.com but gave me an invalid e-mail address. Since that was the second attempt to get help, I gave up on Adobe Support. Although I get the suggest above, it's a pain, especially since I don't have buttons on the content slides. I have the player just playing with the playbar available for pauses. So, now I have to create some sort of workaround using variables, but I don't think this is how it's supposed to work. In fact, I'm not sure what I did yesterday that caused it to work correctly for a while, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything related to this. Of course, then it stopped working. I find Adobe Captivate to be pretty buggy and it's put me way behind in delivering a product to my client. I'm very frustrated.
