Survey Quiz Questions in Captivate 7

I have a quiz in Captivate 7. 15 questions are graded. 5 questions are short answer (survey questions) not graded. I want to show the results of the 15 graded questions, then e-mail the survey question results to another user. How do I do this?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Is this a default question slide or a custom question slide created using standard objects and advanced actions? If it is a default MCQ be careful not to delete objects that are normally available on the master slide for that question, you can make them invisible but deleting (with the exception of some buttons) could lead to weird results. You are using an effect I suppose for the group? Look at the timeline (or better post a screenshot of the timeline): for a default question slide there will be a pausing point (used by the two-step process of that question slide: http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate) and I suspect that this pause is interrupting your fly-in effect.
Read the blog post about the behavior of question slides please. And it is a good practice not to have the playbar available for question slides. Another intuition tells me that by hitting Play you forced the playhead to pass over the pausing point, in the inactive part of the slide and that is why the playhead continues after submitting.

Quiz questions in Captivate 7

I'm fairly new to Captivate, but well-versed with other Adobe products.
I'm working on quiz questions in Captivate 7, but maybe (hopefully?) I'm doing it all wrong. Outlined below:
Need questions sprinkled throughout the module, we call them "Check Your Understanding." For now, true/false, multiple choice, etc. Will eventually include rollovers, etc.
Currently, I have a multiple choice question. Slide begins with a header caption created with two shapes and a text caption with "Check Your Understanding." Would like that entire group to fly in from the left for seven seconds. When I preview the slide, half of the group is visible, but unmoving unless I hit Play. I thought it should play automatically?
Second, when the question is submitted, even if the question is wrong, it just advances to the next slide. I need to require a correct answer before moving on OR the correct answer to show, and maybe a reason why. I can't get any of that to work.
I don't have a need for the results/review slide to show at the end, but is that inhibiting the result from displaying on the slide itself?
Thank you!

Write fractions for a quiz question in Captivate 8

I'm creating a math quiz using Captivate 8 and I would like to write fractions in a Random Quiz Slide better than "3/4". I'm using Myriad Pro font and have the question and answer reporting to an LMS and an email reporting widget. I need fractions that are not presets like 1/2 or 2/3. I need 7/15th etc. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Did you try MathMagic? It is included with Captivate, but the resulting formulas will be images.

How do I change the color of the matching letter in a matching quiz question in Captivate 8?

The default dropdown box has white text with a white background. The text for the questions and answers is black. That doesn't change the dropdown letter to black, though. I've tried changing the default styles, and it only changes the main text, not the letters in the dropdown box. An old post for captivate 5.5 mentions changing the text color to differ from the dropdown answer color, but I want the reverse--the dropdown letter color to match the rest of the text. Actually, I'd take any color that would show up on the default white background for the box.
Please, any answers in layperson terms. I don't know code and am refamiliarizing myself with Captivate after a few years away from it.
Thanks,
Sally

I probably should add that it is only on publish that the text color changes to white. When I'm working in the Captivate program, the dropdown text appears black.

Adobe Captivate 6 Survey Quiz?

How to include a survey quiz in my Captivate presentation without having to buy the Cap.dev widget? I've gone on Survey Monkey but they won't allow the survey to show all the answers as a comparative result.
I've got a Learning Style survey (10 questions) where the user chooses each question's answer, and their overall totals will determine if they are a Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic learner. For example, if the user chooses mostly answers "A", then he/she is a Visual Learner.
I've tried Flash, HTML, etc. but none of them seem to work well.

Hello and welcome,
A long time ago I created this example about learning styles, which I explained in two articles about advanced actions (would be already much easier in later versions):
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/852/cpsid_85255.html
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/852/cpsid_85252.html
And bit more recent: http://blog.lilybiri.com/graded-survey
If you want to make a conclusion based on those questions, you'll need to grade your survey. That is why I'm posting the links.
Remains the problem, which you didn't explain: what do you want to report?

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 ....

Is there a way I can randomize quiz questions in Adobe Captivate 6 on multiple attempts?

I am trying to find a way in Captivate 6 to randomize quiz questions out of a pool (i.e.; 50 random questions slides are linked to a pool containing 63 questions, I want to allow for 3 attempts). Things work great witht he first attempt, but Captivate 6 is not generating new questions when I click the Retake Quiz button after failing the first attempt. Captivate 6 simply gives the exact same 50 questions as the first attempt in the exact same order. Is there any way around this issue in Captivate 6? Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have!

Rod, just thinking out loud, and maybe this is too complex...
Could (generic) you insert multiple random-question-slides and then control which slide is viewed based on how many quiz attemps have been made?
That is..
Slide 1 - question 1a
Slide 2 - question 1b
Slide 3 - question 1c
On first attempt, go to slide 1, skip slide 2 and 3. On second attempt, skip slide 1, go to slide 2, skip slide 3. On third attempt, skip slides 1 and 2, go to slide 3.
Could you use the cpQuizInfoAttempts variable to control the slide order with an advanced action?

Captivate 4 Arbitrarily Changing Quiz Question Values?

I've got a client who uses Captivate 4, and she's having a problem with quiz score values. She has 12 separate assessments, each with either 10, 15, or 25 questions, and she's very sure she has consistent question values in each so that each quiz adds up to 100 points.
Other users have opend the .cp movies and found the quizzes don't add up. Some vary as much as 10 points. When she opens the files, they're at 100 points. I opened one in Cap 5.5 and found that the value of two questions changed.
Any ideas on what's going on? I do remember that another client a few years ago was having scoring fits with Cap 3 along these same lines. I don't know if he ever found a solution.
Thanks.

Were any of these quiz questions originally created in an earlier version of Captivate and then upgraded?
Is this client using Report as SCORE instead of Report as PERCENTAGE in Quiz Settings?
If using SCORE, and you always need to have the questions add up to 100 for everything to work, I would suggest you try using Percentage instead. It's usually easier to work with.

Question about Quiz Screens in Captivate 2

Is it possible to add an image to a quiz screen? I want to
make an assessment in Captivate using some of the quiz question
templates, but I want to add an image to it so the user can look at
the image for reference. Is that possible?
Or would it be better to create a scenario based learning
environment?

Hi Nicole
Hmmm, for that, I suppose I'd simply create a blank slide and
insert the image. Then insert your verbiage advising what the user
should do. I'd do that using Text Captions. Lastly, I'd insert a
Click Box object on the slide surrounding the area I want them to
click. Then configure your scoring and feedback as desired.
Voilà! No Question slide needed.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 5: Quiz question timing

I created two quiz questions that have voice-over. When the trainee answers the question and presses "y" or clicks anywhere, the module does not advance to the next screen. It stays on the question slide for 41.9 seconds. I tried to change the slide timing, but it just keeps reverting back to 41.9. Does anyone know how I can change the timing or make the click/press work?

Good question. The voice-over is 26 seconds long.
I just tried making two slides: One with the voice over and one with just the question. The question slide is still 41.9 seconds. I'm beginning to think the time is tied to the length of the explanation when it is answered incorrectly.
I remember in previous versions of Captivate, the programmer had control over what happens when the trainee clicks the screen or types a letter. I don't see that interaction anymore.

Slide numbers and Quiz slides in Captivate 8

How do I add slide numbers to Captivate?
Also, in my course, I need to add quiz questions and then final test questions. Quiz questions are not added into the final score, but final test would be tabulated into the final course score.
How do I do this? (I noticed that with survey questions, there is not a review page to show the correct answer. Survey questions also seem to still be included in graded question score reporting.)
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Thank you

There are several system variables available. I have upgraded my list for CP8 and will publish it soon. But those you need are already in a post about CP6: System variables in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
For slide number you need cpInfoCurrentSlide, which starts with 1 (most numbering starts with 0). Insert that var in a text container, using the X button in the Style tab of the properties panel,
the Character portion.
As for the Quiz question: you can uncheck to include a score in the Quiz total. Advanced Interaction panel (F9) is a good place to check all scored objects, and to see whether they are included in the Quiz total or not. Most quizzing system variables will adapt to the situation, score and percentage, maximum possible score will not take into account the questions that are not adding their score to the total score. However some variables will include the knowledge questions: total number of questions is one of them. This means that you have probably to tweak the score slide, to create a score slide yourself. Check the same list with system variables to create a custom score slide. Maybe this blog post can help, although the subject is bit different: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog
Another approach would be pretest slides, but it has a lot of limitations: navigation will disappear, pretest slides have to be together at start of the course.

Repeat quiz question

Hi all,
I need some hints about quiz creation in Captivate.
I have to create path like this:
First Question
Answer A
Answer B
Answer C
Only answer A take me to the Second Question, other two take me to another sub-question. Whatever answer I choose in sub-question, it takes me to the First Question again, and I need to repeat that until I choose the right answer (A).
The problem is that when I choose an answer and then I return to First Question, the page is like frozen: I can see the page but I cannot interact whit it. I cannot choose another answer, but I can only see the previous select I made.
Is there a way to unblock the question page once used?
I tried to search forum about unlock radio button, to deselect previous answer and choose another one, but no one javascript works and I'm not sure about this solution.

Hi Baxter,
thank you for your answer
This is a quite good solution, although pages number risks to increase in size overmuch.
Maybe I found a way: in Edit > Preferences select Settings from the Quiz menu. Select the option Show progress, Allow backward movement and Show score at the end of quiz. Don't select anymore.
Then go to Pass or Fail preferences:
as minimum percentage to score set 100% (or what you need);
in If Passing Grade section select Continue;
in If Failing Grade section select Infinite Attempts, Show retry message and action: continue
After that, exit from Preferences and go to Quiz > Question Slide: select Multiple Choice type and Survey Question;
in question tab, type the question name and question text;
enter the correct answer or answers; for each one, select the redirect page by "Advanced";
select question type, single answer;
in options tab, select right and wrong answers (grade) ad type;
in If Correct Answer options select continue and deselect show correct message;
in If Wrong Answer options choose Infinite Attempts, Failure levels nothing, Show retry message and incomplete message.
In that way, I can repeat each question more than one time.
I hope this will be helpful for someone.
Now only remains a problem: I need to disable the radio button previously chosen when (or if) I return in the question slide.
Is there a way to do it without duplicate question slide and without manually removing the button?
The problem is that quiz slide apparently doesn't allow to do nothing on buttons.... besides the fact that page seems to reset itself when user returns on it for a second time,
Any hints?

Quiz in Adobe captivate???Please help???

I am trying to create a 5 question quiz for customers at a tradeshow. customers walk by the computer, enter their name, answer the quiz, submits it. once it is submitted, it displays the screen where a new customer has to enter his name again and start answering quiz...same process..
in the end i should be able to pull out a report, correct answers by name....
is it possible in adobe captivate????????

Yes and no. YOu can create a form slide that allows users to enter information and answer quiz questions. Their entered details and scores for questions can be captured using variables. However, Captivate is more designed for submitting this kind of information to a Learning Management System.
In order to get what you want for your tradeshow kiosk, you would need to have a custom database solution of some kind that received the information from your course and entered each different person's details and scores as records. Captivate doesn't do this for you. You'll need the services of a web developer, ActionScript 3, or JavaScript developer (and possibly all of them).

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
