Question

Attempting assessments in same session again

Hi,

We have developed an e-learning course using Captivate 2 & publishing it for SCORM 1.2 for eLearning output.
The course has few content screens and couple of assessments at the end.
When we complete the assessments in the course, captivate does not allow user to reattempt the assessments again in the same session. User needs to exit the course and re-launch it to reattempt the assessments.

Is there any workaround to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Regards
Chetan

You can setup your test to do what you want in this way.
Open Quiz Manager
Select Pass or Fail Options Tab
In the If Failing Grade area
put the number of attempts you want the learner to have on the assessment
Action: Select Jump to Slide
Jump To Slide: Select the slide they should be taken back to when they failed.

Sorry, I don't know of another way. My experience with SCORM output is one try per session for scored assessments.

Anybody else have a different experience?

Chetan:
The issue you describe is Cap2 quiz behavior (but it's not peculiar to Cap2). At bottom, scoring is not complex enough to distinguish first visit/score1, second visit score2, and so on--and then know which score to report as part of final. Not many LMS support that kind of reporting, either.

Workaround suggestion: use branching, with a second quiz. More: I'd suggest that you not branch back to the same presentation, but side branch to a re-presentation of the subject or issue or procedure in a slightlydifferent way. If your users don't get it the first time, sending 'em back thru the same slides a second time is kind of like American tourists in Peru (or China, or Paris) repeating a request in English louder and more slowly to a non-English speaker. Re-phrase the presentation, re-cast the material--then send users thru a different quiz.

You can distinguish between who got it the first time and who had to do the review by using creative scoring values on the two quizzes.

And if they don't get it the second time? Whoo. Must be time to change the users. Or the teacher.

You might be able to make it work by making your quiz optional and enabling the Allow backwards movement option in the Quiz preferences. Also, try increasing the # of attempts for each interaction (or setting them to unlimited attempts, if available).

Short of that, users may have to exit the assessment and then start it again to force all the questions and interactions to reset.

Hi,

I have tried increasing no. of attempts in the interactions (assessments - reporting on) but still user can't take it more than once. The activity once attempted in assessment get bypassed. We are not using the back button in all our interactions in assessment but still we have rewind button for user.

Is there any other way user can take the assessment again after attempting once ?

Chetan

Can you clarify what you mean by "same session"?

In SCORM 1.2, the user is expected to take an assessment, then close it and return to the LMS, at which point the LMS will determine whether they need to take it again (via pass/fail, minimum score achieved, etc.).

Is that what you're describing?

If so, the "problem" you're describing is probably a designed behavior of the LMS and the SCORM standard.

Hi,

Couse is published for SCRORM 1.2 & luached from LMS.Once the assessment question (reporting on) is attempted & we come back to that perculart page either by slider or by using rewind button user can not attempted it again.
It directly jumps to next non reporting page skiping (orbypassing) all the other repoerting pages in line.

It is nothing to do with designed behavior of the LMS or pass/ fail or score things.
Can we avoid it in some way ?

Thanks
Chetan
