'Sequence' quiz question...

Hi
I have used a Sequence quiz slide with the user having to arrange words dragging and dropping in order form top to bottom.
What I am wondering is whether you can go left to right with sequence questions, instead of the default top to bottom?
I have a set of 4 steps which I want the user to put in order from left to right, but it doesnt seem possible.
Cheers

Hi There,
As per your question, Sequence question can only work with Drop down or Drag Drop and for Drag Drop we cannot do it Right to left or Left to Right only Top to Bottom.
Thanks

Captivate 7, sequencing quiz question, answers are not reshuffled

Hello,
I have made a quiz using Cp7. The questions are all sequencing questions. The first time around, the answers are shuffled, as one would expect. Then the quiz-taker puts the answers in the correct order. However, the following times the quiz-taker does the quiz, the answers aren't shuffled! So if the quiz-taker gets Question 1 right the first time, when he or she tries the quiz again, the answers for Question 1 are in the right order when the question first opens.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
Thank you. Marvin DuBois

Thank you again. And yes, I should make a formal request.
I might just mention that I've found something of a work-around. (This won't be news to you, but others in the same boat as myself might appreciate this.) Note that this works within a very specific context, so it is by no means a complete solution. But here goes.
We run the Cp quizzes in an LMS (and that means, of course, a specific LMS). The solution works in this context. When making up a Cp quiz, I add a regular (non-question) slide after the score slide. On this slide I put a button that opens a webpage via a URL. And this URL is for the quiz itself--i.e. it is the LMS's address for the quiz. Thus, clicking the button simply restarts the quiz all over again, and this takes care of the randomization issues.
This solution has two major drawbacks:
1.The resume option has to be off.
2.The Cp quiz itself cannot keep track of the attempts at doing the quiz (since with each new retake, the counting restarts at '1').
I don't like having to do without the resume function. But in our particular case, the second issue isn't all that important. The LMS itself tracks the attempts at taking the quiz, so this information is always available both to quiz-takers and to administrators/teachers. (On the score slide itself, I simply remove the fields for the number of attempts.)
At the moment, I'm trying to come up with a solution that would allow us to retain the resume function. So far, no luck, but we'll see.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Sequence Quiz Using User Defined Variables - Can See Underlying Variable Name On Move

I have just tested using 1 slide to capture several user defined variables and the next slide to insert those variables as options in a sequence quiz slide.
This works but as soon as I grab an object to begin sequencing them the underlying variable name shows up alongside the variable content.
Am wondering if I am attempting something that shouldn't be possible in Captivate and / or if there is a fix?
Thanks

Sure, I'm using Captivate 8. On a test project I've created:
a slide with 2 text entry boxes, their contents are stored in variables
another slide with a sequence question (using the native captivate question slide)
The labels on the 2 sliders on the question slide use the variables from the previous slide.
This works, so if the variables are as follows:
$$data_sequence1$$ - "blah blah blah"
$$data_sequence2$$ - "blah"
The labels on the sliders on the sequence question will be "blah blah blah" and "blah". as intended.
The issue is when I click one of the sliders to drag it to sequence the variable name will flash up on screen. So if I touch the slider with the label "blah blah blah" $$data_sequence1$$ will flash up on screen.
I have other slides on there but these are the two related to this question. I haven't fully published the project I've previewed it.

How to reveal correct answer in a quiz question

Hello,
I am using Captivate 5.5.
Is there a way to allow the user to view the correct answer to a quiz question without having to keep clicking on the different options until they select the right one? I want to allow infinite attempts but equally, if they are in a hurry or just run out of patience, I want the user to see what the actual answer is straight away. Our learners are medics and they often have limited time.
So the sequence could be something like this.
1. User enters question page.
2. Selects one answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears.
3. User selects another answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears
4. User decides that he/she wants to see the correct answer before moving on. Selects 'reveal answer' and is able to see what the correct answer is.
5. User moves onto next slide (this could be another quiz question or any other type of slide
In another package I have been using, we can specify a 'reveal correct answer' button which shows the correct answer straight away. Is there something like that in Captivate?
Thanks....

I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite. So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes. My bad.
However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option. This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected. So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0. Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

Review area for Sequence quiz

I am having trouble with the sequence quiz review box. I have
8 questions to be put in correct order - if the questions are
answered incorrectly, there is insufficient space in the review box
to display the correct order. Does anyone have a solution for this
problem?

Sorry Christine, for letting this thread slip through the
cracks. Many posts get too many (differing) answers, but somehow
this one fell off everyones radar.
Okay, yes, *size* can mean either the physical size in
pixels, or the number of slides in the project. In you case, I was
referring to the pixel size because i was wondering if you had made
a mini-movie which did not have room enough to display the answer
during review. By the way, 790x555 is a very good size to work
with.
But you have probably indicated the right answer for
yourself. Your correct answer(s) are wordy, and I am sure that is
your problem. Have you tried, in editing the Question-slide, to
grab and drag the *area* for the review answers? It can be
manipulated, but only to a degree. That is one of the reasons I
seldom use any question format that requires lengthy typing to
complete the answer.
There is not necessarily a maximum number of characters
acceptable, but there is only so much room to display, or *review*
those answers.
Have a great day. I will try to pay better attention next
time. LOL!

Captivate 6 - Published - PDF does not play quiz questions

I just published my captivate 6 presentation. I am launching the .pdf file to view. At the end, the quiz questions do not work. I get a white screen and not my questions. Any ideas? Thanks

Below is a screen shot of the published settings. The whole training presentation plays as expected. Then when it gets to the quiz questions I get a white screen and nothing happens.
After I publish, I go to the zip file and run the pdf version.
This is for someone to view the training outside of our LMS system.
Here are the preferences ....

Stuck in course before quiz question

Hi. I have a course where users get to a quiz question, then after going backwards to review content prior to that quiz question, then upon trying to go forward again, gets stuck on the content slide right before that quiz question and can never move forward again.
Quiz is set to Answer All, allow backward movement
Course is locked for every slide, Advnace by user

Hi,
Please check the number of attempts you have allowed per question, if the attempt set per question is one, the slide would get locked and would not allow any further attempts to be made
Please check the attempts for each question, modify it with number that you would like to allow.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Modifying Quiz Question Format/Content

Issue: When we modify a quiz question in PowerPoint and then
go to the Quiz Manager the entire slide deck reverts to the format
before the changes, regardless of being saved previously.
Has anyone had this happen..please help.
I am trying to make edits/changes to a long presentation that
I need to deliver tomorrow and I keep losing the work I am doing.
Is there a better way to make the changes to the slides?
Thank you,
Scott

You can't modify quiz questions in the presentation itself -
you need to make those changes in the quiz manager itself. You can
adjust font size, lay out, etc on the slide itself, but not the
content

Quiz questions will not retain format when question is changed.

OK forum folks. I'm working on my first e-learning project and have ran into a problem with question formating. The instructions/help basically tell you to click here and click there. I can easily figure that out. The questions I seem to have are quite a bit deeper.
I have a predefined template which is company approved. I have created master slides in the question pool for both a 4 item match and a 5 item match (I have found if I add a line to the 4 matching line quiz the line spacing and formatting changes). The placeholder questions are essentially non-questions.
I duplicate the master slide in the question pool to maintain the original format (spacing, location, etc.).
I change the placeholder questions on the duplicated slide to the real question (slide is still in the slide pool)
The formatting (font, spacing, locations, etc.) change on the new (edited) questions and require reformatting.I have also tried copying the master question slide to the filmstrip and editing the copied slide questions in the filmstrip. I receive the same results.
Is there are way I can create masters in the current format so I can use the approved templates, edit the questions and not have to reformat the slide after the questions have been changed?
Also, is there a way to lock the formatting of the questions? If I want to add/delete a new question or line to the slide, it would be great to be able to not have to reformat the slide for the change.
I look forward to your answers.
Thank you.

I am trying to deal with the same issue. The master slides are more about background elements and navigation buttons, but they do not seem to allow for the addition of quiz elements.
I have come up with a workaround that I hope will work. What I am doing is creating a new project that becomes my quiz question layout library (Let's call this Project 2). In this project I add the various types of questions I will be using in my project (multiple choice with three choices, multiple choice with five, true/false, etc...). I get all the quiz elements in place for each type of question (the header, question, submit/clear buttons, review area, etc...).
These slides serve as my Master slides for my actual project (Project 1). I can copy and paste the appropriate layout from Project 2 to Project 1 and then change the questions themselves.
I am sure I will find out the downside of this soon enough...
There is no doubt the creation of masters for quiz questions needs work, actually it needs just to exist!

Extra line after first item in quiz questions

I just started using Captivate 7. I made a template with some quiz questions and there is an extra line after the 2nd radio button in the templates for multiple choice and true false questions. Is that normal ?
Screen shot.

I'm experiencing the same problem, also on Captivate 7.
The alignment is fine on the master slide, but every time I load a multiple choice or true/false question the "B" answer appears like this.
I've tried it with every theme and the same thing is happening. I've also had the program uninstalled and reinstalled and still the error is there.
I've searched on different forums, but no one seems to have the answer.

Learners unable to enter answers to quiz questions

I've launched our first course and I'm coming across an issue that I haven't encountered as we tested the course.
I've created the course in Captivate 5.
All of our learners are using their own computers to complete the training, and I have no control over what equipment they are using.
A couple have reported that they are unable to enter answers to the quiz question. For example, it won't even let them click on the buttons for multiple choice answers. Those that have reported the issue seem to have older computers (around 5 years old), but say they've updated to the new version of flash player.
We've tested the module on somewhat newer computers, and we haven't come across that particular issue at all.
What could cause such a problem?
sanna

I think this is what I will try. After I had a chance to talk to those that encountered the issue they said they had moved backwards in the course.
It never occured to me when testing the course to skip backwards and forwards. Lesson learned.
Now when you say include a 'scored' button, what do you mean?
I already have a 'next' button at the beginning of the course that the learner clicks to get started. It's an image button. I see when I look at the properties for that image button that there is an option to include it in the quiz. Is that what you meant? Set it to be included in the quiz?
Does it make a difference whether or not points are assigned to it, or whether or not it is included in the results?
Thanks

Quiz question formatting

Is there any fix in the works for controlling how Quiz
Manager formats quiz questions/answers? Every time we need to make
an edit and go back into Quiz Manager, we have to reformat our quiz
slides. This is extremely time consuming and frustrating. Please
Adobe, put some formatting controls into the quiz manager (such as
font size), or fix your program in such a way as to not touch the
formatting that we do to our quiz question slides in
Powerpoint.

I have worked a lot with presenter and have manually formated
the look of the questions after the slide has been generated and
have not ever had an error. I have changed location, spacing, font,
and size and added content to quiz slides, all without incident.
Are you using Presenter 6.2? This may be an issue of using an
older version of Presenter.

How do you change quiz questions to look like your PowerPoint template without doing it manually on

We have a customized PowerPoint template with our branding colors and font applied. We need the Presenter quiz questions to have the same customized look. We need the questions to appear differently than the default, and we need our branding colors applied. I have been searching in Google, have read the Adobe Presenter 9 user manual, and cannot figure out if we can do this without applying the changes manually on each quiz question written. Is there a place in Presenter where we can customize the entire quiz question page? If so, where and how can you accomplish this?

I know it's an old thread, but Rob did do a good job of explaining how to setup a master slide for your Quizzes. Not sure that all steps still apply, but you get the general idea.

Add video feedback to quiz question

There is a presentation demo on the Adobe site called 'Breeze
for Rapid-training' which has a question and when answered, plays a
video. I cannot seem to find any information to do this. how is it
done?
Thanks Michelle

Are you sure the feedback is on the same slide or are they
using branching to send you to a choice of slides with video on
them? I believe this is how you'd do it:
First, create a slide continaing you're video.
Then use the hide slide function in powerpoint so that people
won't be able to access the slide unless they go through the quiz
to get to it
Now craete a quiz question and use the branching feature to
go to that slide with the video
This is a very quick and dirty explanation, so please let me
know if you need more explanation or if you need more detail.
Best,
Jon

How do I create quiz question in reflow?

How do I create quiz question in reflow? There is form element but how am I going to get the value of the radio button or the text entry?

You can design the quiz in Reflow but you'll need to code up some sever side code to collect the data and reports for your quiz. If you don't want to write the code you could look at Muse or an online service like typeform or some elearning solution.
Hope that helps,
Chris
