Using Correct/Incorrect captions & Branching?

Hi,
I'm still new to Captivate, and here's what I'm trying to do.
I'm using questions as formative, individual questions in a branching scenario, rather than as graded questions. When a student submits an incorrect response, I want to say, "Actually, the correct answer is X." Or, "That's correct." And include some "Feedback on the page." Fine; I know how to do that.
And, I want it to branch. So, after seeing the appropriate caption, clicking still takes the user to page B if their answer was incorrect, but to page C if their answer was correct.
I can figure out how to do the branching or the captions but not both. The only way I figure to do this at all is to not use captions but just branch based on the student's submission and take student to a Pre-A or Pre-B page that includes all the content from the question slide (except I can't use the "radio buttons"), painstakingly recreated, plus the caption and feedback text. Then the user could Continue to Page A or Page B. That seems like so much more work than should be needed.
Suggestions so welcome! Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I'm using CP4.
By radio buttons, I mean the choices in the regular multiple-choice question. (I'm not doing anything with image buttons or Flash button widget.)
I'm not sure what your second question quite means. Let's see if this helps. I can work out branching using the Advanced Options for each answer choice, or, in this case, via just if Correct or if Incorrect, as I simply have two paths, one for Correct and one for Incorrect, regardless of which incorrect response a student submits. I've accomplished branching using either of these methods.
What I'm trying to work out is that Captivate seems to allow that a Success caption or a Failure caption appears after the student Submits a response. Great. I want that, so I can indicate if their answer is correct or not. After that, however, I want the student who submitted a correct response to branch to Location A, while the student who submitted an incorrect response to branch to Location B.
Maybe I do need a click box. Do I need two click boxes, one for each case - Success and Failure? Does that mean that I'd need to put the Success caption in one place and the Failure caption in another place, and create a click box for each? (RIght now, I have them appearing in the same place, because they're never both present. It makes more UI sense.) Can I then control it so that a clickbox appears either only IF its respective caption appears?
Thanks again!

  • Adding image to correct/incorrect caption

    How do I add an image (tick or cross) as part of the quiz correct / incorrect caption?

    Hi there
    Create an image that has the desired element as part of the image and save it somewhere on your drive. Then, edit the caption in Capitvate. Look in the properties panel at the General section. There, you should see a file folder icon that will (when clicked) allow you to browse to the image!

  • Can correct/incorrect captions stay visible after quiz is answered?

    Hi,
    Currently using the default master slide for Multiple Choice and True/False quizzes when the student answers the quiz and presses the Submit button an incorrect or correct caption will appear with a prompt to "Click anywhere or press 'y' to continue. When the student clicks or presses 'y' they go to the next screen but if they decide to go back and review the quiz the incorrect/correct caption is not displayed.  Is there a way to have this caption stay visible once a quiz has been answered so the student will know if they got the quiz right or wrong?
    Cheers,
    Richard

    Just one detail in Lilybiri's post that I want to make sure everyone understands.  In Lilybiri's example the Review Mode custom variable she has set up gets set AFTER all quiz attempts have been exhausted. 
    As she points out, she has dragged the Review Quiz button underneath the Retake Quiz button so that the ONLY way the user can initiate Review Mode is by exhausting the number of allowed attempts.  This is a critical point.  Because unless you do this, and both Review Quiz and Retake Quiz buttons are visible side by side on the slide, the user could click Review Quiz BEFORE they have exhausted all quiz attempts and then the solution would not work as expected because the custom variable has not yet been set.
    So be sure to read and follow Lilybiri's instructions exactly.  As usual, she provides a great solution.

  • Using custom "Correct/Incorrect" images

    Is it possible to use images as the "Correct/Incorrect" captions for quiz questions? I'd like to use a green check mark or red X instead of the default "Correct/Incorrect - Click anywhere to continue" text captions.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Worked out an example to be able to explain the work flow:
    on the question slide I delete the Success/Fail captions (you can keep the Hint if you want, I deleted it as well)
    I imported two graphics (see Timeline, sorry for Dutch): Rood and Groen that are displayed for rest of slide duration, but in the PI set to be invisible
    normally you have to actions when a user has answered a question: after Submit the Failure/Success captions popup, that also give the message to click on the slide or Y to continue; the first action will not be executed anymore because there are no Failure/Success captions anymore; when the user clicks on Submit, the playhead will continue to play; for this reason I incremented the slide duration, so that the graphics will be visible (in this example) for 4.5secs (after the pausing point) before the playhead reaches the end of the slide and goes to the next slide.
    if the graphics may remain on the slide (when user gets back or reviews), you do not need an advanced action, just choose 'Show Rood' for the action on Failure (image for incorrect answer) and 'Show Groen' on Success. You find this in the Quiz Properties (see second screenshot)
    if the user can return to the slide and change the answer, you'll better create an advanced action, in which you Show the proper image and Hide the other one.

  • Quiz Captions for Correct & Incorrect answers

    I have a quiz in which I've deleted the Correct and Incorrect captions on each question. My boss has had a change of heart and now would like to provide feedback using these captions. In the Quiz properties, I can bring the Correct caption back onto the slide but can't seem to do the same with the Incorrect caption.  Does anyone know of a way I can get this done?

    Try putting Failure Levels at something else than None

  • I am creating a check on learning with 2 responses and want to create a correct/incorrect response

    I am creating a check on learning which is scenario based.  I want the student to be able to select whether it is permissible or nonpermissible.  I had thought to do this with 2 objects--each associated with a clickbox to indicate a correct/incorrect response but this doesn't work.  How can I achieve this?

    Could you please explain what you want in a little more detail?  I'm a bit unsure about what you want the student to indicate is either permissable or non-permissable.
    If you are using Click Boxes positioned over objects that the user should click to indicate their choice, have you set the click boxes to show feedback captions?

  • Advise on using DBMS_XA with multiple branches under one global transaction

    Dear all
    I need some advise on using DBMS_XA from PL/SQL with tightly coupled multiple branches under one global transaction. Basically, I've successfully written some PL/SQL code that in 3 different sessions attaches to 3 different branches of one global transaction and before ending each branch they can see each others uncommitted data. So far so good.
    However, I'm not sure I completely understand how each branch must call xa_end, xa_prepare and xa_commit correctly using two phase commit and my calls result in errors like:
    ORA-24767: transaction branch prepare returns read-only (XA error code 3 = Transaction was read-only and has been committed)
    ORA-24756: transaction does not exist (XA error code -4 = XID is not valid)
    ORA-02051: another session or branch in same transaction failed or finalized
    This is the structure of my programs (3 SQL*Plus sessions):
    main: Uses xid 123|0 (branch 0 of global transaction 123). This should be the coordinator that commits using two phase commit across the 3 branches
    m1.xa_start tmnoflags
    m2.DML
    m3.Wait for thread A + B to manually be started and run xa_end
    m4.xa_end tmsuccess
    m5.xa_prepare
    m6.xa_commit false
    thread A: Uses xid 123|A (branch A of global transaction 123)
    a1.xa_start tmnoflags
    a2.DML -- thread A can see main and thread B's data
    a3.xa_end tmsuccess
    a4.xa_prepare -- required?
    a5.Should we also call xa_commit false?
    thread B: Uses xid 123|B (branch B of global transaction 123)
    b1.xa_start tmnoflags
    b2.DML -- thread B can see main and thread A's data
    b3.xa_end tmsuccess
    b4.xa_prepare -- required?
    b5.Should we also call xa_commit false?
    The failing steps are:
    m5
    m6
    a4
    a5
    b4
    b5
    Before starting calling xa_end I see 3 rows in V$GLOBAL_TRANSACTION, eg (hex 7B = decimal 123):
    FORMATID GLOBALID BRANCHID BRANCHES REFCOUNT PREPARECOUNT STATE FLAGS COUPLING
    203348753 0000007B 00000000000000000000000000000000 3 3 0 ACTIVE 0 TIGHTLY COUPLED

    203348753 0000007B 0000000000000000000000000000000B 3 3 0 ACTIVE 0 TIGHTLY COUPLED
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Cheers

    OK, I've figured it out. This is poorly documented as it's not well explained how to handle the various return codes. Turns out that all but the last xa_prepare calls return dbms_xa.xa_rdonly (tightly coupled branches are combined -- "read only" optimization), the last one returns dbms_xa.xa_ok and this is when you should call xa_commit.
    Now my next problem is that DBMS_XA doesn't work from within jobs (DBMS_JOB and DBMS_SCHEDULER), which makes it very difficult to use DBMS_XA. My purpose of using DBMS_XA is to coordinate work across multiple sessions in one transaction but if I can't easily create the multiple sessions, I'm stuck.
    When called from a job, xa_start throws:
    ORA-24789: start not allowed in recursive call
    on Oracle 11.2. In Oracle 11.1 it works, but xa_end fails with
    ORA-25352: no current transaction
    so I guess in fact the xa_start call didn't really work either, even though it returned tm_ok.
    I'm now trying to find a workaround on how to use DBMS_XA from within jobs, please comment if you have any suggestions. Or if you have any suggestions on other means of establishing the concurrent sessions (I wouldn't like to resort to external programs that need username/password to connect as password management would be a security issue).
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

  • Why can't I update latest version of apps. Always request applied . Although I sign in using correct password

    Why can't I update latest version of apps. Always request applied. Although I sign in using correct password. But everytime prompted with incorrect password , retrieve password

    There are plenty of apps still compatible with iOS 4.2.1. Not a majority, necessarily, but they're still out there. If the app you want requires a newer version, find another app the accomplishes the same thing.
    Of course, it may be too late for that now, since you chose to hack/jailbreak your iPhone, and it is currently a brick. As varjak paw stated, this forum will not help you with your hacked phone.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from using random, incorrect icons? (Win8.1)

    I have this strange problem where Firefox (v30.0) is using random, incorrect icons both in the GUI and on certain web pages (especially Gmail). When I use the mouse to hover over the icon it then switches to the correct icon. I've tried restarting Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, reinstalling Firefox with reboot, nothing helps. I can't find anything on this in user forums. These seems to have just occurred in the past 2 weeks, not sure if there was a Firefox update involved.
    Thank you for the help!

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    Is it possible to use variables as Captions in the Legend Answers view? If so, what's the format? Thank you

    Thank you for the link - i believe this is covered in docs, however, I wasn't able to get the result I wanted by using any of the variable strings. I'm just getting the string variable output along with my variable name. I should have mentioned that I've tried this before. You know which part I'm talking about right?

  • IP address not used correctly at RT Ping Controllers.vi

    It seems to me that the IP address provided to RT Ping Controller.vi and RT Reboot Controller is not used correctly.
    What I do is: Set the Subnet flag true and give a numerical IP adress to RT Ping Controller.vi
    What I get is the controller information for the controllers on the subnet, even if the IP does NOT match.
    Why do I do this? I want to acquire the MAC of the controller specified by the IP to use it for the reset vi.
    What I do second is: Set the subnet flag true and give an IP address to RT Reboot Controller.vi and provide a MAC address. The IP address does not match to the controller with the MAC given. The controller with the MAC reboots, independent of having a different IP.
    What is going
    on here and how can I get the correct MAC for an IP easily (i.e., without looking it up in MAX and typing it in somewhere)?

    Try setting the Local Subnet value to FALSE and pass in the IP you want to ping. You should get just details back on the target you specified, including it's MAC address. If the IP isn't a valid RT target, you will get an error.
    When Local subnet is set to TRUE, it will attempt to ping all controllers on the local subnet (regardless of the IP address passed in)--requiring you to search the resulting array for the IP you are interested in (and yep.. it might not be there).

  • Optimizer not using correct execution plan

    Hi ,
    DB  version : 11.2.0.3
    My sql query ran last month 1 hour. But the same sql query today running for four hours. Looks like optimizer is not using correct execution plan. I have used tuning advisor and applied recommended sql profile and query execution is back to normal. I can see statistics are upto date for the tables. Any other factors why the optimizer is not choosing correct execution plan ?
    Thanks.

    What is the correct plan according to you? Multiple factors cause optimizer to chose a different plan. As a rudimentry example - A binary index column having low cardinality than expected, after new data has been inserted. Never ever expect your query to have same execution plan till the entire lifetime, until the underlying data does not change or nobody changes database settings.
    You have to give a lot of information if you are looking for performance tuning. Pls see following thread
