Video in the Review widget

Is there any way to insert video into the iBooks Author review widget?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The only half-baked solution I can come up with is to put the video next to a basic multiple choice layout, and just try and make the two look like they belong together. Which is not ideal, considering I have multiple videos and will have to create multiple review widgets to go with them. If anyone can come up with a better solution, I'm all ears!

Given the current state of iBA, I'd say you've established the best process you can expect.
You could always attempt to bake your own widget with both features, of course, but by that time I suspect you'll have thought of other features, etc. which might put you into an app instead.

Where can I find a good tutorial on using the Review Widget?

Have done 2 books with iBooks Author, and still can't get the Review Widget to work. Is there a tutorial available? Thanks for any help!

ibook-widgets.com have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store. Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author" they also sell widgets.
I dont have any connection - I found their eBook in the store long ago and used it to learn more about iBA.
The best advice though, is be patient, go back over the process step by step, I cannot access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their.

How to change the answer text within the review widget of iBooks Author?

I want to change the answer text which appears after one has finished a test within the review widget of iBooks Author, but I can't figuere out how to do that.
I also want to sum up the result of a couple of questions as a percentage. How does that work?
Can anybody help?

Notice the answers inside the widget, each with a circle to the left - tap on one of those, which will then appear green with a checkmark in the center to indicate the correct choice.

That's not currently an option in the Muse youtube widget.
We'll add support for that option in a future release of Muse.

Can I resize thumbnails in the Review widget?

In the review widget options, the sixth option down is called "Drag Thumbnail to Target."
Does anyone know if I can resize the thumbnails at the bottom?

Hi Ian,
Are you talking about the thumbnails in the Pages pane?
In that case, you can right-click on the Pages pane to bring up the context menu.
"Enlarge Page Thumbnails" and "Reduce Page Thumbnails" are items on that menu.
You can also click on the little gears icon under the name of the Pane. That bring up the same menu.
Regards,
Charlene

Can the Review Widget be reformatted?

I am having a hard time making a review widget fit on my page. I can seem to reduce the white space around my three possible answers? Also, would rather have all three on one line to run across the bottom of the page, rather than stacked. Anyone know if this is possible?

This is a IBA community site, so I try to find solutions and workarounds that work in IBA.
Sure there are going to be things that can't be done in IBA and are best done with an iPad App.
But IBA is a lot easer then programing an iPad App and I think a lot of the people on this site can't program an iPad App (including me)
If something can't be done in iBA that i know of, that's what I say. I figure If someone can program iPad Apps then they probably already know if that is the better route to go.
I really don't think using Keynote or html widgets is band-aiding IBA.
If you can make a quiz/review in Keynote that works better for your needs then the review widget, use it.
To be honest, for what I think joeandginny1 need, I think this is a workable solution and there is no need to use something besides IBA.
Also, if they don't want to use Keynote, another solution could be to run the review widget full screen only, and have the hot spot to launch the full screen review along the bottom of the page (on top of a text box with the question etc.)

Does the review widget record answers made by the student for feedback purposes

Does the review widget -- remember the answers made by the student for feedback purposes?

No. It's for self assessment purposes only. You can request the user to take a snapshot of their answers to send via email or have them highlight text passages and add their answer as a note. Notes that students take can be emailed in bulk.
You could also look into third party widgets or other custom solutions / apps.

How do I stream Vimeo videos with the YouTube widget?

I am having trouble streaming a Vimeo video with the YouTube widget in Captivate 7. The Vimeo video is: http://vimeo.com/24270413#at=0
When I test it in Captivate it comes up with an error message. Does the Vimeo address need to be amended in any way to work with the YouTube widget?
I have no problem with YouTube videos but Vimeo is causing me problems.
Thanks

I think you will have the same problem, i've tried to insert vimeo videos as well using the Web Object interaction in Captivate and they don't load...

How to verify questions made in the review widget on ibooks author, how to verify questions made in the review widget on ibooks author

Hi everyone, I'm creating a review widget on my ibook but I don't get to set which is the right answer to a multiple question. Any clue? thanks in advance

With the Review Widget, how would I do a "match the following" question?

Hey there,
Can you help me find a solution for iBooks author to quiz by matching words up with sentences?
This is the question I am asking in the quiz:
Match the following
_____ (a) Question 1     (1) Answer 2
_____ (b) Question 2     (2) Answer 1
_____ (c) Question 3     (3) Answer 2
In the book, you'd just put the number 2 on the first line, etc. How would I create this same type of question in iBooks "Review" widget?
I know this can't be directly done in the iBooks default review widget so what I'm looking for is just a best substitution or if there are widget developers that have created a more extensive quizzing widget, I'd love a link.
Thanks,
Caleb

most people just add feedback to the comments they've asked about already, rather than ignoring all the feedback and making a new post with the exact same information:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5247331&messageID=10020973#10020973
If you want to add in an XML file to a POST command, you'd add it just like any other file you'd attach to a post request, especially (if you're request is the same as your last post) if you're just doing a jsp page. I'd do it something like this:
<form method=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="https://rcpdm.mnb.gd-ais.com/Windchill/servlet/IE/tasks/DJK/fcsAddContentComplete.xml">
<H3> File Name </H3>
<input type=file name=filename>
<input type=submit value="Do it!">
</form>Then again, this solution has literally nothing to do with java, and you still need to make sure that your servlet knows what to actually do with that information you're sending it.

Bugs iBooks Author review widgets and text sections

This week since updating software iTunes and on iPad 3 using Mac bookpro with Mac OS 10.7.5 the review widgets in iBook Author has a bug, which removes part of the questions and part of the answers. I am using the most recent version of iBooks Author.Any suggestions or advice? Also, another bug is that text sections have been affected to some degree with sections of sentences removed.All other wigets are running normal.

Hello,
I also had this issue, particularly in the Review and Pop-Over widgets. Sections of text were absent only when I previewed on iPad or Mac. This occured on OS X v10.9 Mavericks for me, so it does not seem to be isolated to one operating system. I was also running the latest version of iBooks Author.
I was able to resolve this issue by rewriting the text in slightly different wording. Simply deleting the text and replacing it with the same text did not help. I had to actually rewrite different text that basically meant the same thing. I was not able to figure out what about the origional text was causing the problem. Try typing a variety of different sentences. Chances are, some will cause the error and some won't.

Review Widget: "drag the correct answer to the target" - not working for me?

Ive read the (very limited) help on this problem, and I must be doing something wrong
I simply want to indicate the right answer A or B - couldnt be simpler.
Apple says:
"To indicate the correct answer: Select it or drag the label or image to the target. To have more than one correct answer, hold down the Command key while you select the answers."
Its just not working. I assume it means drag the CHOICE A button OR CHOICE A text (thats all there is) to some target on the inspector but that doesnt work nothing happens. (And where is "the target" what target? Where? I cant find a "drop" green plus appearing anywhere..
So I then, instead I try dragging the QUESTION TEXT (eg is the sky blue or red) to somewhere and that DOES show a draggable obkect but again where is this "target"? If that means the Answer a or Answer B back in the widget it self then No, that doesnt do anything, no drop zone is saying "hey drop me here"
So, like I say, I must be missing somethign really obvious. But Ive no idea. Please help.

Hi Andy,
I am trying to investigate this issue but I havent been able to reproduce it. It would be great if you could give me a few inputs.
1) Are you able to Publish Comments in the review?
2) Is there any internet traffic monitoring tool running on your machine?
3) Close Acrobat and then try killing the AdobeCollabSync.exe from task manager. Now open the review file again and try to sync the comments. Does this work?
4) Try downloading a fresh copy of this file from Acrobat.com server and replacing your local copy with it.
If all these things do not work then maybe we can analyze the traffic (using fiddler) on your machine to investigate the problem.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

HT201991 What is the character limit for length for video or song reviews?

What is the character limit for length for video or song review?

One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

Error on entering the Time widget to display the current/left video duration time

Working with Adobe Captivate 6.0 (Version 6.0.1.240) and trying to include an interactive video demonstrating possibilities and features of our software, I've experienced some issues.
When entering the Time widget to display the current/left video duration time, Adobe Captivate is closed with the following error:
[Window Title]
Adobe Captivate
[Main Instruction]
"Adobe Captivate" has stopped working.
[Content]
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.
[^] Close details [Check online for a solution to the problem and close the program] [Close the program] [Debug the program]
The program works the same way when using other widgets such as ArrowWidget, AskAnExpert, Browser, CheckBoxes, Combobox, etc.
What could be the most possible reason for that?

Hello guys,
thank you for trying to help me.
to Lilybiri: I use the Timer widget included with Captivate 6, Version 6.0.1.240. That's why it doesn't show the time. Could you please tell me if it is possible to display the current/left video duration time? If so, how we can do that?
to Vishhere: Yes, this is happening when I insert interactions or widgets from the Insert Menu. I reset the default preferences as you suggested. Unfortunately, it didn't help.
When I go for inserting any interactive element or a widget from Insert/ Widget/Interactions the application is closed and an error message appears like the screenshot given here:
