Scoring: Giving Negative Points for Incorrect Answers on a Quiz

We are using Captivate 5 and I was wondering if there is anyway you can remove points for incorrect answers? Say if you have a multiple choice question with 5 options, 3 of the options would be correct and 2 incorrect. Is it possible to give a -1 point if the incorrect choice is made and give 1 point each for the correct options?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
No, that is not possible yet, same for partial scoring.
I have a workaround, using variables and advanced actions to achieve that. You can find some examples on my blog (http://lilybiri.posterous.com). But the issue is to report to a LMS. Trihan has found a solution for that, using JavaScript but I have not yet tested it out, trying to find the tiem.

Making it easier to award points for individual answers on the same slide.

Hi
One of my biggest requests would be for it to be made a lot easier to award points for individual answers.
For example: I would like to use the 'fill in the blanks' quiz to create something that is reffered to in educational circles as 'cloze procedure'. Basically I would like to create an entire slide of text with many blank areas that need to be filled in. This is possible at the moment but it is only possible to award points based on every single answer being correct. I would like to award individual points for each correct answer on the slide.
At the moment this can be done with a lot of complex scripting but I would like to be able to do it at the push of a button.
Cheers

Creating captions for incorrect answers for hotspot quiz?

I am creating a hotspot question where there are 2 images for the learner to choose, one correct and one incorrect. How can I create a caption that tells the learner the reason why the incorrect answer is incorrect?

Is this a default hotspot question? Recently I published an example of a custom hotspot question, then it is much easier to control everything.

If you want to use the default hotspot, you can edit the default Failure caption with the explanation you want to give.

Captivate 7 - Incorrect Answers not allowing quiz to Continue. Buttons not functioning correctly (Clear, Back, Next). I have Knowledge Check

I am experiencing a problem with the Quiz feature of Captivate 7. Correct answers are submitting o.k., but Incorrect answers are not. You cannot go forward with them, i.e., the program will not Continue or go to the next question with an Incorrect answer in the Assessment.
This presentation has 15 Knowledge Check questions (0 points) and 10 Assessment Questions (10 points each).
Also the buttons don't always work correctly, i.e. Clear, Next, Back.
What could I try?

Thank you for your response. No. I didn't do anything like that. I figured that I should probably divide this into 2 parts and aggregate them. That was going to work, but I checked with one of our other users in TX. He told me that what they always do is to divide up the presentations into 2 parts. They don't aggregate them, but instead, let the LMS take care of going from the learning module (with the Knowledge Check questions) to the Assessment Module. Once you exit from the learning module, you immediately go into the assessment.
Captivate 7 doesn't really allow for this type of test without aggregation or an LMS. You can have a pre-test, but it expects those questions to come at the beginning of the course, not to be interspersed throughout the course. I also found that using the Question Pools gave me more flexibility in moving Knowledge Check questions around using the Filmstrip.
The other interesting thing was that the TX expert told me to remove the Accessibility Feature because, apparently, it causes other parts of Captivate not to work. I found that to be strange.

Captivate 8 - Click Box Deduct Points for incorrect click

I am working on building a simulation assessment for a course I am working on. I don't want to use the hot spot quiz question due to the required use of the submit button. I have set up a simulation where there are 10 steps that are graded. The learner gets two attempts. If the learner clicks correctly the first attempt, I want to award 10 points. If they click correctly the second attempt, I only want to award 5 points. If they click incorrectly both times, they are awarded 0 points. I must be able to report the final score as a percentage to my LMS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This seems like it would be tricky to do out of the box... (Although I could be wrong! Maybe the experts will know of a way )
I know Lieve's latest post talks about custom hotspot questions, but those have multiple hot spots with partial scoring, not a single hotspot with partial scoring based on number of tries: Custom Hotspot questions in Captivate 8 - Captivate blog
There is the Interactive Master Widget, but I've never used it so I can't say for certain that it would do what you need it to.
The problem as far as I see it (which perhaps you're aware of) is that any scored object will add to the total number of points and mess up your percentage. So you could have two smart shape buttons with one attempt each, one worth 10 and the other worth 5. The first is visible, but on failure hides itself and shows the second. But with that method you'd have 15 points total, not 10.
In the past I saw something where someone sent their own score to the LMS using JavaScript and then closed the project before Captivate could overwrite that score, but I don't know if that's doable these days. (Report Custom SCORM Variables with JavaScript | Infosemantics Pty Ltd)
EDIT: Woops, slow to post. I'll leave this, though, in case any of it is useful.

Error messages and replies? thanks for everyones help so far I hit points for every answer ;)

I can't answer anybody anymore I'm on Android phone is there an app for this site to make it easier

I find it hard but the default Internet web browser is doable - with lots of typos though.
I use Samsung Galaxy Note II (5.5"?) and Note 10.1 tablet, of course tablet is more doable.
Maybe if voice activation for typing could help with it.
Having imported my bookmarks via Chrome and Google really helps too.
The small thin S-pen makes it more accurate to hit what I need, and to zoom by double tapping.
Sometimes though I fail to see above or what was said in the thread conversations.
And yet I can hook it up to my HDMI TV and view and play movies and video not just youtube.
Windows lets me use it as a USB media device much easier, and my phone has 64GB SD card for extra storage, spare batteries always on charge to swap in. Replaced my iPod in a flash. Has almost all my iTunes music and video on it.

How do I give points for helpful answers?

I do not see the buttons "This helped me" or "This solved my problem" as shown in the tutorial page. Is this an issue with browser settings? I'm using IE 9.

If this is the thread you are referring to, you can't give points because you did not have it marked as a question, but a discussion (see the little speech bubble to the left of the subject line):
Whereas your thread here is marked as a question (note the questionmark to the left of the subject line):

Nobody is giving me points since yesterday evening

hi,
this is to inform you that,
since yesterday i used to get points for my answers but since yesterday evening no body is giving me points.
please explain me the reason.
regards,
balajia
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Nov 4, 2010 9:23 AM - vague subject corrected

Hi Balajia,
since yesterday i used to get poίnts for my answers but since yesterday evening no body is giving me poίnts.
This is outrageous and I feel nobody should be subjected to such cruelty. I feel it's time for a change and I'm getting close to starting a grassroots movement to change the unacceptable contribution system here on SCN. Currently there's two main problems:
<ol>
<li>People need poίnts, but don't get them</li>
<li>People are burdened with giving poίnts (but can only give very few)</li>
</ol>
As a result people get aggravated, waste their time, their health deteriorates and friends break apart. So let's get down to the root cause of the problem and fix this. Going forward I propose we stop forcing and pestering people to assign poίnts - instead we automatically give every person some poίnts every day. As I'm not a communist I'd say let's start with using a nice random function to determine for each person how many poίnts they get per day (e.g. how about between 50-100).
I'm open for suggestions on further improving this process. E.g.we could randomize the time periods between two poίnt awards (e.g. between 1h and 24h). This would make it much more fun and interesting. Further excitement (and diversity) could be added with a daily poίnt lottery.
Based on the number of open questions you currently have (234 out of 503 total) I can easily see that you're a curious mind; an unorthodox thinker who asks interesting and very challenging questions, which unfortunately most people don't seem to be ready to answer yet. So wouldn't you agree it's very important to pursue implementation of my new award system to ensure that the clever people we need here on SCN are attracted to the community?
Please support me and use this very appropriate timing to enlighten the SCN community - Happy [Diwali|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali]!

24 points for a single answer

Hi SDN team,
i can't stop complaining about getting more than 10 points for a single answer
Please have a look at this Re: Inexisting BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST in our SAP system IDES. There are 4 * 6 points rewarded, which is nice, but not correct at all.
Best, Stefan
PS: Before i forget it, i do <b>not</b> want to have all the points removed (like it happened the last time i complained), 6 of the 24 are earned and ok.

Hi Stefan,
We have closed a hole in the point system last weekend. Let us know if it happens again.
Thanks for letting us know, Mark.

Issue with Negative Value for Total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY.

Hi Experts,
we loaded the Cube with datasources 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
We mapped the quanity field from 2LIS_03_BF in transformation either into Key figures "Quantity issued from valuated stock" (0ISSVALSTCK) or "Quantity received into valuated stock" (0RECVALSTCK ) of the cube.
For obtaining the Total Valuated stock, we used the Key figure 0VALSTCKQTY. This key figure is having the Inflow and Out flow values as 0RECVALSTCK and 0ISSVALSTCK. When i tried to check the content of 0VALSTCKQTY, the key figure 0VALSTCKQTY is not present in the infoCube content. I understood that the value for this key figure would be calculated at the time of query execution with the formula
{ Last obtained Valuated stock + (Received Valuated Stock u2013 Issued Valuated Stock ) }.
The issue is the first records in the query is obtained with negative value for the total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY even though the values of Received Valuated Stock and Issued Valuated Stock are with Zero. Could any one please help me on how the first record in the query is with a negative value eventhough the inflow and out flow fields of it are with Zero.
Many Thanks in advance.
Jeswanth

Hi Srini,
I observed an interresting reason for the stock being with negative in the first record.
Issue : While executing the BEx report, we have the first record with a negative value.
Let me explain with an example
Material : XYZ
Plant      : A
Date of Stock Initialization for data source 2LIS_03_BX -
> 12th April 2009.
So on 12 Th April 2009 consider that we have a stock in store with a value of 2640.
Then we have loaded wih Data source 2LIS_03_BF for all Historic Movement types.
At the time of query execution we will have the first record with a negative of available stock present on the day of initialization .
So, as we have initilized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th April 2009, we have at that time a stock of 2640 in availability.
Exactly with the same value of 2640, we are having a negative value i.e. -2640.
and also one more point to be noted is ...as we have initialized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th APril 2009...it has created a
opening balance of 2640 on the day of initiailization i.e on 12 th April 2009 in infocube....(which is an extra record...)...so if the previous record of 12,04,2009 is having some value in it..then it will get added to 2640 EA..which will give incorrect stock
So in the query the records will appear in the below following manner
Calendar Day     Total stock                                                                Received stock                                          Issued Stock
28.12.2005 ---> - 2640 EA
29.12.2005 --->    2000 EA                                                                       640 EA                                                        0
10.04.2009 --->      0                                                                                0                                                               2000 EA
11.04.2009 -
>    0                                                                                0                                                                0
                             (For making
                              the earlier record of initilization to 0 a negative value -2640 EA is created in the first record )
12.04.2009 (Initializtion day) ---> 2640 EA                                                 0                                                                0
13.04.2009
the day before initialization the total stock will be 0 due to the negative effect introduced by the first record and from the day of initialization the records will be the accurate values... On 12 th april 2009 we can see that a stock of 2640 is brought into the total stock. In fact if there is no negative value i.e. -2640 in the first record then ...the value on 11.04.2009 will be 2640 Ea and this will get summed up with the Opening balance of 2640 EA created by 2LIS_03_BX on the day of intitialization. So on 12 .04. 2009 the total stock will be shown as 5280 EA...so in order to prevent the double value only we observed that the first record is created with the negative of available stock present on the initialization ...to make the record before the day of initialization i.e. 11.04.2009...to be 0...so that from 12 th April 2009 ..will start to see the actual total stock in the query result...
This is happening only if we use both the data sources 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF for loading into BW.....
If we load alone by 2LIS_03_BF ...then as 2LIS_03_BX is ruled out in the loading...then no negative of available stock will be created ...because there will be bno opening balance created on the day of initialization.....and the opeing balance available will be flowing into consecutive records due to the movement types and 12 th April 2009 will be shown with avaialable total stock of 2640 EA.
Kindly let us know your opinions on this...
Thanks.
regards,
Jeswanth

Vendor Evaluation- Points for Automatic criteria

Dear Team,
Our requirement for ontime delivery criteria is - for delays up to 10 days from PO delivery date to GR date 100 points, 11- 15 days delay -98 points,16-30 delay -95,31-45 delay-93,46-60 delay -90 , >60 - 1 point. how to configure this points in SPRO -points for the auto matic criteria.
Also what is the logic taken for assigning point scores for standard purchase organisation available in SAP 0001(Einkaufsorg. 0001). IF WE ARE TAKING A COPY OF THIS AND TRYING TO EDIT, SOME VALUES ARE NOT GETTING DELETED & SOME VALUES NOT GETTING SAVED.
Thanks & Regards
Nireesh

Hi,
Vendor Evaluation (t-code ME61) has the following features:
Wighting Key: in Std. SAP two keys are given (with equal weighting & unequal weighting). Based on the criteria you have, you can either accept & follow one of these std. settings or create one for yourself in IMG.
Suppose you select equal weighting as the key to be followed: there are 4 criteria viz. Price, Quality, Delivery and Service.
Each of these criteria have sub-criteria for them. For Ex. Price has 3 sub-criteria: Price level, Price history and Price behaviour.
So, for each sub-criterion, you allocate different marks (based on your business). Again, for each sub-criterion, there is a scoring method in Std. SAP. You can't create any new scoring method of your own. You only have to follow one of the 16 scoring methods given.
Thus, the total score would come to 100 and you get vendor evaluation based on these criteria chosen.
In your case: you have descending marks (points) for delay in delivery. So, pl. make one according to those criteria & sub-criteria. Please go through the help.notes and also some links in SCN. Regards, KrishnaM
