Transition for Question Pool Slides

Captivate v5.5
I have a question pool of 20 slides with 5 random slides in the main project.
I have applied "Blinds" as a transition option to all 20 slides in the question pool.
When I test the questions (F8 starting on the slide before the first random question slide), the transitions do not work.
Any idea?
Noel

Hi Rod,
I previewed the whole project (F4) and still the transition did not work.
Having to publish it (eg to .exe I presume you mean) before I can check the slide transition seems a little long winded - but I will give it a go just in case.
Thanks...
Noel

Captivate 4 Question Pool Slides Show Ghosts

Random question slides display captions from previous slides
when I publish to Flash 8-10. Publishing to Flash 7 or using the
same questions (but not as random questions) cures the problem.
The captions appear on all but one random question slide (8
of 10 doesn't display the problem). The captions are from four
upstream slides each of which has different rollover captions. The
problematic question slides show all the rollover captions,
superimposed over the question.
The PC showing the problem is running Win XP SP3, Flash WIN
10,0,22,87. Other PC's at the same site do have the problem when
running the same published show.
I've tried recreating the question pool from the original
question slides, recreating the random question slides,
uninstalling and reinstalling Flash on the target PC with the same
results.
Any one else noticed this?
Any suggestions for a fix other than publishing in Flash 7?

Did you or others submit an official bug report?

Assign points to quiz slides using Question Pools Manager

Is it possible to assign the points to be reported for a slide when using the Question Pools Manager?
If one slide, for example, has 10 points, and another slide has 5 points, when they are both added to a question pool, do their loose their original number of points and get assigned whatever number of points chosen when a random slide is added to the pool?
I hope someone can clarify. Thanks.

I just checked in Captivate 5 and it looks like the scoring is associated with the Question Pool slide, not the Question slide that gets randomly inserted.
If you're trying to achieve a result where the difficulty of the question matched the number of points awarded for getting it right, you might need to set up a number of question pools. E.g. one pool for easy questions, another for medium difficulty, and a third for really difficult ones. Assign 1 or 2 points as the default for the easy ones, maybe 5 for medium, and 10 points for hard ones.
This is what I do in fact.

Captivate 8: Can I create a random question pool from existing quiz slides?

I made a quiz for a client, published it out and everything works perfectly. Now the client has decided that they want the questions to be random. I have tried to add my existing question slides to the question pool, however I have no idea how to do this correctly. Nothing I try seems to work - the only tutorial I could find was on the Adobe site and it simply said to create a question pool and then drag the slides to the timeline, replacing the question pool slides with the existing slides. But I cannot drag the slides for some reason, and I am very confused about these directions, they don't seem to mesh with my version of Captivate.
My questions weren't part of a question pool when I developed this quiz as I had no idea such a thing existed. And now I see through every tutorial I find, a question pool is necessary for randomizing the questions. So, my question is... is there a way to do this with existing question slides, or will I have to start all over again?

Hi there
Should be even simpler. Select the question slides and right-click. There should be an option to send them to the desired pool!
Cheers... Rick

Cp6 - scorm and question pools?

I have a particular activity that was formerly built in cp5.5 (non-scorm) which I've now republished in Cp6 and uploaded to our LMS.
This particular lesson has 32 questions which pull from 5 question pools. The filmstrip shows 41 slides.
I set the "Success/Completion Criteria" to 'slide views' and 90%. However, once complete the LMS is not recognizing the lesson as complete and continues to show 0% completion.
I have a different lesson without question pools that does show completion, and the slide view % is the same. I can't find a difference between them other than the question pools.
Does the Success/Completion Criteria look at the question pool slides as part of the total, or does it only count the slides the learner might see?
thanks.

you have to design undebuggable version...

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
Lori

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

Results slide showing all question pool results not just the ones completed.

I have several question pools which have the option to be taken independently or separately.
If the user does not take all seven of the modules then the quiz results slide at the end is incorrect as it will report all of the questions not just the ones attempted.
I have tried the Branch aware option in the quiz results option but that did not worth.
It this an easy fix or does it require me to add a variable count for each correct answer.
Many thanks
Rick

Branch aware should be just fine for that case, why do you tell it is not working? Branch Aware Quiz - Captivate blog
When you say 'score slide is not reporting correctly', I had no such problems.
You could create a custom score slide indeed, using variables, but what if you have to report as a SCORM? Only possibility in that case is Branch aware.

Content slides in question pools?

Can content slides be used in question pools? Same for random question mode? I am in a captivate 7 trial.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Could you explain what you want to achieve? Maybe I could then make a proposal, question pools are meant for questions. You always insert 'one' random slide, and I suppose you want to insert a random 'group' of slides, content + questions?

Question about slide transition

Hi there,
I've got a question about slide transition in Captivate 6.0.
By default the slide transition is define with 3 sec. I would like to have transition done manualy, with the navigation, but not after a certain time.
Is it possible ? For now I've insert a next button. But I would prefer to do this via the navigation.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there
Presently the ONLY way to accomplish it is by having an object on each slide that causes the slide to pause. Buttons, Click Boxes, Text Entry Boxes and some of the Widgets cause this behavior.
If you feel it should operate differently, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the capability to be added to a future version. (Link to the Wish Form is in my sig)

How do you print the slides in the question pool in captivate 6?

how do you print the slides in the question pool in captivate 6?

You move them back into the main project first, and then print them like other slides.

Grabbing Random Questions for the Question Pool

Hi Everyone,
I am interested in exactly how the Random Question Pool
works. Let's say there are 50 questions in the question pool and
you want 10 questions from that question pool of 50. When you
publish I understand you will get 10 random questions from the 50
questions. Then when you run your published project are you always
going to get the same 10 questions or another 10 of the 50 pooled
questions everytime your run that same published project? Or do you
have to publish again, calling the quiz another name to get another
10 of 50 questions from the question pool? I appreciate the help on
this.

Hi slewis6337
It is my understanding that each time you
display the Captivate output, you see a totally random
question. So if your question pool contains 50 questions, each time
your Captivate output presents the random question and draws from
the pool, it is truly drawing a totally random question.
I do believe that Captivate does keep track of which
questions have been used in the pool. To test this, try creating a
pool containing three questions. Then create four random question
slides that point at the pool. Then try running the Captivate. You
should see that as random question number four is encountered, the
screen goes totally gray. This is happening because you have
exhausted the question pool.
Sincerely... Rick

How can I get Captivate to score across multiple question pools?

I have set up a Captivate assessment as follows:
A core set of 50 questions will be presented to all learners
Depending on where the learner is, he will receive an additional 10 questions from one of 5 location-specific pools
Learners will see a total of 60 questions
I have my question pools set up and branching correctly, and am using the Branch Aware option to assist with this and the progress indicator. Before the first question I have the learner click one of several buttons (not quiz elements) to set a location variable, and after presenting the core questions I use this variable to determine which random question slide to jump to next (with set of slides pointing to a different question pool). After asking the 10 random questions from that pool the learner is then redirected to the review slide so only one set of location-specific slides is encoutnered on each attempt.
All of that seems to be working as designed but the scoring is not behaving as I had expected; despite the fact that all questions are asked before the review slide is presented (i.e. all questions are within the quiz scope in both the edit-time and run-time sense) the review slide only reports results from the first question pool. For example, in a test file I reduced the question slides for the first pool to only display 2 questions, for a total of 12 presented, but my results show "0 of 2 correct" or "2 of 2 correct." The pass/fail results of the module match the review slide, so this is not a simple display issue; if I miss either of the two questions from the first pool I fail regardless of what happens in the second pool.
What am I missing? Surely there wouldn't be the option of using multiple question pools if only one could be graded ...
I am working on Captivate 6.0.1 64-bit for Windows. FWIW the file was originally created in Captivate 5 and has since been upconverted, but the additional question pools weren't introduced until after the conversion processes so I wouldn't expect this to be related to residual crud left over from that process.

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

A transition using an image (slide an image across the screen)

Hi everyone,
Hopefully a good question I am about to ask. I have 2 clips, and wish to use an image as the transition between those 2 clips. I've seen this sometimes
on TV, where you'll see a clip playing, then a graphic is used - like a side swipe for example, coming in from the left, a graphic slides in from the left, passes
through the middle of the screen, and exits on the right, as it exits, the 2nd clip is now playing.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this ? I thought perhaps there would be a canned video transition available, but none of them allow me to
add an image to any of those effects ( for example in "slide" category under "Slide" in the video transition effect panel.
Thanks for your time !
Dave.

When you unpin it, you can go past the beginning and the end of the clip in the Effect Controls Panel.
As for getting them to run at the same speed, consider this...
You have to wait to start the wipe until the graphic is in the frame and you have to end the wipe before the graphic leaves the frame.
So, figure out the exact middle, and work both forwards and backwards from there. To find the middle of the wipe should be easy, it is generally right at the cut. And finding the middle of the graphic should be easy because it usuaaly starts there. So force a keyframe at that point by clicking on the diamond.
As I write this I realize you need to know where the center of the graphic is so that you can start the wipe when exactly half of the graphic is on screen and end it when exactly half is off screen. So start with the middle, then go to the beginning of the wipe and make sure that the graphic is half on and half off on the left. Then go to the end of the wipe and make sure the graphic is at that halfway point on the right.
The math shoulf force this to work.

Certificate Requirements / Best Practice for DR Pool

Good morning
I'm looking for clarification on the certificate requirements for DR. I already have both my primary pool and my DR pool built, and paired. At the time I configured there, I used two different certificates for each pool. I would really just prefer to use
one when we build the environment live.
Is there some reason I cannot just add *all* servers from both primary and DR pool into one cert as SANs? The subject name/common name of the cert doesn't *really* matter as long as both the pool FQDNs and all server FQDNs are in the Subject Alternative
Names, right?

It may work, but it's not the path Microsoft recommends:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398094.aspx. This is one of the reasons I always try use an internal certificate authority, even if I have to deploy one just for Lync, just so little items like this don't matter
much.
If it works, it's up to you. I'd base that decision on how mission critical the solution is. If it's your phone system, I'd follow Microsoft's guides to the letter so I'm not in a nightmare situation if I ever have to call Microsoft support.
If it's IM and P only, I'd be willing to let some things slide if it's saving you a lot of money.

Resolution of question pools

I have created a pool of question from which I want to add
random questions to a few different presentations but when I import
the question pool and then add a random slide to the project the
question is cut off by the size of the project. I think I was in a
project that was 1024x768 when I created the questions but when I
add the questions to a project that is 640x480 the question get cut
off. I just thought the text would wrap and the answers would just
move down but this is not happening.
If anyone has any suggestions how I can get round this
without having to enter in all the questions again

Welcome to our community, IDWT
Have you tried opening just one of the questions for editing
in the smaller project?
Sometimes that is all that is needed with some applications.
You may find that the elements pop into the viewable area if you do
that.
Then again, it may make no difference whatsoever. Nothing
should be lost by trying to see.
Cheers... Rick
