Bespoke Quiz slides

Hi all!

A question if I may about functionality...

I have built a Captivate presentation with a quiz at the end.

There are a number of information slides before this and the last of these is an ordinary preview slide which says,

"On the next screen you will do a QUIZ You will be allowed 2 attempts at this quiz".

The user would then click the NEXT button and do the quiz

After they have done this, they would have the option or either continuing to the end where there is a bit of blurb

and a RESTART button whereby they will go all the way to the start of the presentation.

Now ideally, I want the functionality when the user gets to the preview slide just before the quiz, if they have done

the quiz once, instead of getting the message above, they get a new one that states:-

"You have already had one attempt at the quiz. You now have one left".

BUT if they have had 2 attempts, they will get the message,

"You have had 2 attempts at the quiz. You will not be able to access the quiz section".

AND...when they click the NEXT button, this time they will just go straight to the end-slide with the RESTART button.

Now, is this technically possible?

Maybe with conditional logic and setting variables?

Thanks

    Hi,

    My answers are in BOLD below each of your comments:-

    Do you want to exclude the third situation: user is on Score slide and wants to Retake the second attempt immediately after failing the first attempt? I don't see a reference to that?

    The manager wanted this functionality.


    How do you see the functionality of the score slide? User will have to click the Retake button there to have the questions cleared for a new attempt on quiz level, you cannot escape from that.

    Well that happens anyway. The user starts the 2nd attempt from scratch.

    The button to return to the start: can it be on the score slide? A shape button is possible, no other button.

    No, we design course so that we have this slide with some summary text at the end.



    Thanks


    I don't understand your answers. So, will just offer you an idea for the Preview slide.

    Put a variable v_message in the text on the 'preview slide' and fill it with the text you want, based on a conditional action triggered On Enter for that slide.

    Decision 1

    IF cpQuizInfoAttempts is equal to 2

          Assign v_message with "You have exhausted all atttempts"

         Jump to.....             whatever slide you still want them to visit after the quiz slides

    Decision 2

    IF cpQuizInfoAttempts is equal to 1

           Assign v_message with "You have one attempt left"

           Go to Next Slide

    Decision 3

    IF cpQuizInfoAttempts is equal to 0

           Assign v_message with "You will now be able to do a quiz..."

           Go to Next Slide

    Do you have the score slide? A second attempt is normally triggered by the Retake button. You have to remain in the Quiz scope. No problem for a conditional action, using the system variable cpQuizInfoAttempts but first I have to know if you didn't break the pretty strict quiz rules.

    Sorry, but I have to check a possible work flow and couldn't find time yet. Will try to do it ASAP. Can you tell me which version you are using?
