branched structure with scattered quiz

Is it possible to create a branched structure in contrary to the standard linear sequence of slides?

I´d also like to use scattered quiz slides throughout the project (without scoring and reporting answers) and an additional final test. The problem here was: re-doing the test starts with the first quiz slide of the whole project - so therefore I had to place the final quiz slides right after the start slide and skip them with action settings. BUT if the student clicks on the forward or back button in the playbar, he or she will wonder why the final quiz is at the beginning and not at the end of the course ...

My need is to create a branched structure so that the forward/back button will not play all slides in the order of their place inside Captivate, but in the order I want them to be viewed.

Is there any solution??

Correct answer Lilybiri

You cannot use the default playbar in that case, but need to create custom navigation buttons.

For the final quiz, I would have left them at the end, but have skipped the knowledge check slides on Retake. For each retake the system variable cpQuizInfoAttempts is immediately incremented, you can use this to create the conditional action for the On Enter event of the first knowledge slide.

Great, so I don't have to explain again. That was also my answer that solved it in the other thread, right?

    Dear Lilybiri,

    that sounds great and the perfect solution ;-) BUT ... I don´t know how to adjust the retake button, as there is no possibility to set any action on this button   ... nether have I found the system variable you mentioned ...

    Do I understand this correctly: To skip all knowlegde check slides (which are scattered throughout the project and do not report to LMS) at the retake of the final quiz, I do not adjust the retake button but set the knowledge check slides in a specific way, so that the retake skips them??

    Could you please tell me how to do this? THANKS!

    ***Update: I found your blog and I´ll try to understand it ;-)
