Question

Add Score Points on Slide Enter

Hope all is well.

 

Can I ask if it is possible to add a point on slide enter? I'm planning to add a point at the end of a module and there will be no button at all, so when they enter the last slide, it will score a point and mark as complete.

 

The reason for this is, on some of my training modules, I have a mouse scroll effect (continues to the next slide) and also place a shortcut that jumps to the end of that scroll (incase a learner doesnt have a mouse wheel). If the learner uses the shortcut, I just realized that it misses few slides. Therefore, they cannot achieve 100% slide completion and giving an issue unable to proceed on the next module. If I made it like 90% but a learner didnt use the shortcut,  lets say on slide 90 out of 100, they will already received a notification on the LMS that they completed the training (releases certificate)

 

I bit of confusion for me, So I was thinking instead of counting the slides, I will just put a score point at the end and make the module requirement (Quiz is Passed) when they reached 1/1 points. Hopefully I've explained it well. thank you.

    Which specific version of Captivate are you using?

    If you are using Captivate 12 I do not know of any way to use screen events to add points to the quiz, other than by having a scored button that the user must click.

    However, if you happen to be on Captivate 2019 then there is a solution (not free) that uses the Infosemantics CpExtra widget.

    https://www.infosemantics.com.au/about-cpextra/

    https://widgetking.github.io/cpextra/variables/command.html#xcmndscore

    With this solution you still have to add a scored interactive object such as a button to the project, but the user does not have to click it in order for the score to be recorded and added to the quiz.

    I'm using captivate classic, thanks for letting me know RodWard. I will have a look and check on this. 

    So do you mean, lets say I have a restart button at the end of the slide. but they dont have to click on that. once they reached that slide it will score a point as soon as they enter? How would I do that let say I have cpextra, should I change the advanced action into xcmndscore or create a variable first with the xcmndscore? Sorry I'm not that experienced with the captivate.
