How do I reset all the objects on a drag and drop slide on enter in Captivate 6.1 using the built-in drag and drop widget?

Hi Savy,

Drag and Drop Interaction works similar to any other question slide if it is included in Quiz. i.e if you answers it correctly or if your attempts are over then it wont allow to retake the Drag and drop interaction with in the same Quiz Scope. But If you have Multiple Quiz attemps( Quiz Preferences> Attemps), It allows to retake the interaction in your next Quiz attempt.

or if it is not included in Quiz, It resets the interaction on every slide On enter.

Thanks,

Has this issue been resolved? I used a smart shape to show the correct status and the wrong choice is not dropped in the drop source, and it works fine. But when the learner revisits the slide, they do not reset yet it is set to Reset All. Has an automatic reset been found?

Please do not add to very old threads. This one is about version 6, we are presently at version 11.5 or 11.8.

If you use a D&D slide as a quiz slide, scored and included in the Quiz total score it will behave like other quiz slides. This means that you need to use multiple attempts on quiz level and include the Retake button to have answers been reset.

If you use D&D slides as Knowledge Check slides (no reporting) they will be reset on re-entering the slide, same as the other default Knowledge Check type of slides.

Knowledge Check slides did not exist in version 6 but they do in the present versions.

Omg, it's like a recurring problem. It's the same thing I have been asking about.

I have the same issue too. The way I combated it is, when I show my 'Correct' blocker (I create a group, and if the drag and drop is correct, I tell it to show the blocker.) I have a button in the group that I assign points to.


The learner has to click on the button to move forward when the blocker shows.

I only assign points to the 'correct' blocker and not the incorrect blocker, so the quiz results still reflect if the learner was successful.
ution but it allows me to:

It may not be the best solution but it allows me to:

a) have the drag and drops reset when the slide is revisited for review purposes.

b) report if the learner answered correctly.

The ONLY issue is - if they revisit the slide, and answer correctly again, they will be assign the points again.

Hmm, so I could get it to reset if I uncheck "Include in Quiz" it sounds

like. I still need to be able to track the interactions, though, and

unfortunately, I think I can only report the interaction if I include it

in the quiz. I can set the quiz takes to infinite, but that seems to

only apply if the learner fails. I'm also not showing a quiz report

screen, because nothing is really being grading. I am capturing

interaction data, but not judging learners with it. It seems like I have

to wait for Infosemantics to make an HTML5 version of their widget. I'll

make a feature request to Adobe, too. Seems like all quiz slides should

have a "practice" option that resets every time the learner enters the

slide, and still reports interaction data through SCORM. It is useful

for me, as a designer, to know what objects learners are interacting

with, if they're getting the right answers, and how many times they

choose to do an activity - and to be able to associate those

interactions with specific learning objectives. Captivate isn't great

with that type of engagement tracking data.

Thanks for your help.

Ed,

If your REAL wish here is to know what the learners are interacting with and how often etc, then the Adobe Course Companion Widget might be worth looking into.  Do a Google search on that for info.

Hi there,

Welcome to Adobe Community.

You can use the Reset All option under the Action Property of Drag and Drop or you can use a Reset button under the Options property.

For reset all to work the attempts should be more than one.

Thanks!

That works unless the learner gets the answers correct. Then the submit and

reset options go away. I want the whole slide to reset on enter

automatically.

Hi again,

In that case you can use Reset button and Reset all option both and change the attempts to infinite. This way whenever the slide is re-entered the Drag and Drop would reset and you will also have the reset button as well.

Thanks!
