Show correct answers on a quiz?

When using the question slides, is there any way to have Cp4
show the correct answers after the user puts their answer in rather
than just the generic incorrect box?
I'm figuring on making a slide to follow the question that
shows the correct answers, but if there's a cooler way to do it,
I'd like to hear it.
Thanks,
Jason

That's what I ended up doing. For most of the questions the
message box works just fine, but for the matching one there are too
many variables, especially when the quiz is set to mix the
questions every time.
Thanks for the replies!

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.

How can I show the correct answers in a quiz on Adobe Presenter 10?

Hi all.
I'm newer on Adobe Presenter.
I've finished all questions on the quiz, but I like to show the correct answer after the user select a wrong answer and submit it.
I've tried many thing and the correct answer isn't displayed.
Thanks.
Rafael.

The correct answers are displayed after the quiz is completed and the user Reviews the quiz. If you want the correct answer to be revealed to the user in the quiz, then you will need to customize the feedback messages to state the correct answer. They are just text boxes on the slides, so you should be able to easily add text to them.

Captivate 5 quiz review not showing correct answers when loaded to LMS

Hello All. I would really appreciate some help please. Despite the quiz review working correctly when published, i.e. both 'your answer' and 'the correct answer' captions appear in the review, on loading to LMS the review caption does not show the 'the correct answer is' , but instead 'you did not answer this question completely'.
Any ideas why this should be the case? I've attached screen shots of my quiz preferences for completenes.
Many thanks in advance.
Janey

Do the same modules evidence this behaviour when published and played outside the LMS, e.g. from a web server or on your hard drive?
If not, it's possible that some setting in the LMS is over-riding what happens at playback. You could try checking the box under LMS Customisation for Never Send Resume Data and see if that seems to make any difference. If the LMS is maintaining a record of some previous attempt at the same module then turning off Resume Data might show that up.

Highlight correct answer in online Quiz

If this shows up twice my apologies but it looked like my post was not going through.
I am putting together an online quiz in FrontPage using JavaScript to calculate the score. There is a button at the end of the quiz that invokes the JavaScript that will calculate the score. This works great. But, I would like it to also highlight the correct answer for each question. The following is the if statement used in the javascript to calculate the score:
if(document.quizform.Q1.checked) { score += parseInt(document.quizform.Q1[i].value);}
Is there something I could add to this statement to also have it highlight the text of the answer for the question? Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA!

I noticed a few weeks ago that the first result for "Java" on http://www.googlism.com (which is currently down) is:
Java is not Javascript.It can be seen in Google's cache of the site.

Showing correct answers

Is there a simple way to show the correct answer on a question slide as soon as a user submits an incorrect response?

We Captivate developers are an impossible lot to please. No matter how much functionality Adobe packs into this app, we will always come back at them with: "But how hard can it be just to add XYZ function so that it does what I want?"
If you believe you have a great idea for a new feature to be added in Captivate 6, now is the time to submit a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5

How to create flash quiz based on circling the correct answer?

Hi all,
I am quite new to actionscripting and need to create a flash based quiz.
The user will have to circle the correct answer in the quiz.
I do know of drag and drop function but didn't know how to create circling function.
Please advise how should I get started.
Thank you in advance.

Here is something to wet your appetite. This script creates squares and allows you to draw any shape with the mouse when mouse is down.
It doesn't define what square things are drawn around - this is how lines can be drawn with AS3 in principal. Just place the script on timeline.
var beginPoint:Point;
var drawingBoard:Sprite;
var drawBoardGraphics:Graphics;
init();
function init():void
     removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
     var board:Sprite = new Sprite();
     board.x = board.y = 20;
     addChild(board);
     var numSquares:int = 8;
     var gap:Number = 20;
     var square:Sprite;
     // make squares
     for (var i:int = 0; i < numSquares; i++) {
          square = makeSquare();
          square.x = (square.width + gap) * i;
          board.addChild(square);
     drawingBoard = new Sprite();
     drawBoardGraphics = drawingBoard.graphics;
     // board filler
     var drawFiller:Sprite = new Sprite();
     var g:Graphics = drawFiller.graphics;
     g.beginFill(0xff0000, 0);
     g.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
     drawingBoard.addChild(drawFiller);
     addChild(drawingBoard);
     drawingBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
function startDrawing(e:MouseEvent):void
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     beginPoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);
     drawBoardGraphics.clear();
     drawBoardGraphics.lineStyle(3, 0xff0000);
     drawBoardGraphics.moveTo(beginPoint.x, beginPoint.y);
function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void
     drawBoardGraphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function stopDrawing(e:MouseEvent):void
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     drawBoardGraphics.lineTo(beginPoint.x, beginPoint.y);
function makeSquare():Sprite {
     var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
     var g:Graphics = s.graphics;
     g.beginFill(Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF);
     g.drawRect(0, 0, 60, 60);
     g.endFill();
     return s;

Show Incorrect Answers Upon Review

Can you set Captivate 8 to show incorrect answers upon review? It is showing correct answers but I can't figure out how to make it show incorrect answers too.

By default Captivate will show both correctly answered questions and incorrectly answered questions.
There is no 'option' to show ONLY one or the other during review. You would need to set up user variables for each question slide to track whether it was answered correctly or not and then check these user variables with conditional actions ON SLIDE ENTER of the question slides when in Review Mode. There is a system variable you can use to check for Review Mode.

How can I allow a learner to review a created Drag and Drop Quiz to show the learner their incorrect/correct answers?

Captivate 8: I have created an assessment with two multiple choice question slides and eight drag and drop question slides. After the learner views their score, I would like them to be able to review all of their answers to see where errors were made. Currently, the review quiz only shows their answers and the correct answers for Multiple choice question slides. Ideally, I would like a review of the drag and drop question slides where the incorrect choices are outlined in red or something to this effect. I appreciate any insight and suggestions!

Sorry, D&D is not a normal question slide and I can only recommend logging a feature request. I would really like to be able to choose whether an interaction is reset or not, because this problem doesn't exist only for D&D but for all learning interactions as well.

In a Quiz the Correct Answer Buttons are too close to the answer letter. How to give more space?

When creating a quiz and previewing, the Buttons to select the correct answer are too close to the letter for the answer. How do I add space between them. Suggestions?

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.

This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

What is the best approach for a short answer quiz that has a number range as the correct answer?

Client does not want to use multiple choice questions, so I am trying to figure out the best way to put in a range of numbers for the correct answer.

I'm doing my best to figure this out, but not finding success in my advanced action. Below is the quiz question and how I setup the advanced action.
Question: Determine the total heat load for test house 1.
Answer: 32,120
Acceptable Answer Range: 30,514 - 33,726
Created TEB - Validate User Input; Numbers; Variable Name: Value1; Correct Entries box blank; Reporting: Include in Quiz; Points 10; add to total; report answers
     On Focus Lost: Execute Advanced Actions
          Conditional Action
               If
                    Value1 is greater or equal to 30514 AND
                    Value 1 is lesser or equal to 33726
               Then
                    Show SmartShape_1 (Correct feedback prompt)
                    Expression Value1=cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints+10 (I have also tried cpQuizInfoTotalProjectPoints and got same results)
               Else
                    Show SmartShape_2 (Incorrect feedback prompt)
I have quiz reporting turned on and I am testing this by including a second slide that is a standard multiple choice question so I can check results on the Quiz Results page at the end of the project showing the total score. I have not been successful yet in getting the system to add the points in appropriately. Is there another system variable I should be using to add the points to the quiz for reporting to the LMS or am i going about this completely wrong?

Quiz not advancing after incorrect answer (quiz uses user variables to show wrong answers)

Hello All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Hopefully someone can help me.
After viewing this excellent video on the adobe captivate blog "so what were the right answers anyway" I created a quiz with user variables and a conditional advance action. It displays red crosses next to the each question that was incorrectly answered at the end of the quiz.
I set up user variable for each question with a value of 0. On an incorrect answer the variable would be set to 1.
At the end of the quiz is a slide which lists the question and shows a red cross next to each question with a variable set to 1. uses conditional action which is triggered "On Enter"
This works, but my problem is when I preview the quiz (in browser or as SWF), on an incorrect answer the failure caption appears but will not actually advance to the next question when I click anywhere or press y. It works OK on correct answers.
I can sovle this by adding a next button, but I want to understand what I'm doing wrong.
Using captivate 6.0.1.240 (boxed copy)
windows 7
images on quiz properties and conditional action below
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Jacob C

I tested this work flow on 6.1.319 and it works fine. So it is a bit guessing in the wild... no 6.0.1.240 around for the moment. Seems strange, because a simple action like your Assign action should normally release the playhead. But of course it is a question slide and they do not always behave as expected. Could you try to replace the Assign action by a standard advanced action with 2 statements, like this:
Assign var_question_1 with 1
Continue
And please, let me know if it works? This could be a difference between the two versions, but not sure at all.

Show Incorrect Answers Only on Review Quiz

Is there a way to show only the incorrect answers that the learner selected after clicking on the Review Quiz button? Basically I don't want the correct answers shown.

Which version are you using? If it is version 5 or before, you can just delete that part of the Review messages
Tried it with CP5.5 as well, but there this is not functional,

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.
