answer key/handout at the end of the quiz?

Question

i'd like to create an answer key that is accessible to learners at the conclusion of the quiz. the answer key should include:

1) the question type (e.g., Multiple Choice, Matching, etc.)

2) the answer choices

3) indication of the correct answer(s)

how can i generate this key/handout from a project that uses randomized questions from question pools? sample scenario: my question pool contains 100 questions, the quiz contains 25 randomized questions. the key/handout should show answers for the same 25 randomized questions.

thank you in advance for any suggestions.

This might be possible do do some of what you want wth Captivate but not all, and it would require an awful lot of Variables and Advanced Action wizardry, plus perhaps some widgets to enable the printing of the output.

Here are some issues:

You do not know in advance which quiz questions will be pulled randomly from the pool at runtime. So you'd need to have a variable set up for each question slide in your quiz pool that would get set OnSlideEnter of that particular quiz question so that IF it got used in the randomisation then the variable would be set.
You'd need to have more variables to hold data such as the question type, answer choices, etc. This would need to be done manually.
There's no easy way to find out exactly which answers the learner chose. It's all locked deep inside the Captivate runtime and it's in a format that makes little sense if displayed.
Given that you have 100 questions in the pool, the total number of variables and advanced actions required to even get close to your goal would be so vast that it would probably bog down the entire module and make it too slow or unreliable.

My suggestion is that you save yourself a lot of frustration and don't try this.
