Question

Can I show the correct answer upon Submit?

Hi all,

I want to have a instant feedback on each quiz slide that shows the correct answer after the learner have selected one of the answers and clicked submit.

  • The best way would to temporary go into the review mode to show the correct/wrong/user answer etc. icons that appear close to each answer. Is this possible? I can only find a way to check the review mode, not to set the review mode.
  • The second best would be to use the incorrect caption but to not manually fill in the correct answer. In this case it would have been nice with a variable that writes out the correct answer. Is there any such variable available?
  • Or maybe there is even a better way to do this?

Anyone who has done this before?

Is there any HTML5 widget that would solve this?

I am using Captivate 9.

Hello,

I have only bad news, sorry:

  • There is no way to temporary go into Review mode, because Review will disable all future attempts on Quiz level, user would not even be able to continue the quiz
  • There is no system variable that stores the correct answer, you could use a user variable but will have to change its value On Enter for each Quiz slide. That seems not to save a lot of time compared with editing the Incorrect Caption without using that variable, since the length of the variable can be very different. Only reused quizzing system variables are cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice and cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored
  • What is not clear to me: do you want this also to happen for a Correct answer or only for an Incorrect answer?
  • Beware: embedded quiz slide objects have priority in the stack order in case you are thinking about a pop up instead of the Incorrect caption.
  • I suppose you only allow 1 attempt on Question level?

AFAIK there are almost no developers of HTML5 widgets around...contrary to the Flash widgets. There is certainly a reason for it, but I'll leave it to a developer to explain.

Hi Lilybiri,

Thank you for your answer and the great info. That clarified what is possible and not.

To bad there is not a system variable for the correct answer. That would have helped a lot.

So I have to do it the hard way, manually :-), and spend some more time to add the correct answer and manually place the captions on the correct place.

I also wanted to have the same icons (see image) on the review as in the captions. However, the replacing of the captivate quiz review items does not seem to work. Waiting for an answer from Adobe on this.
