Captivate 9 knowledge check results

Hi all,

I want to do an eLearning module that should look roughly like this:

In other words: there are several chapters that consist of simple quizzes that all have their own result slide. In the end, when all chapters are completed successfully I want to show an overall result slide. I was thinking that I could realise this using the new knowledge check slides because I want the user to be able to do each chapter over and over again till they got it right. The usual quiz slides would be a problem because of the whole quiz scope concept.

My problem now is that I can't seem to find the right system variables I'd need to build intermediate result slides.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I cannot see your image. You have to embed it using the still camera button in the Browser version of this forum:

There are no new system variables in CP9, at least not AFAIK. That means that the Knowledge slides result is not stored in an accessible system variable. It is possible with user variables, or you can create partial score slides with the default quiz slides as I described in this blog post:

If this course will be going into an LMS, you're going about this the wrong way.

If no LMS will ever be involved you might have a chance of pulling it off, but you'll need to be creating your own User Variables to track scores for each set of questions.  The System Variables in Captivate that deal with quizzing treat all scored objects in the project file as if they belong to a single quiz, because that's the way SCORM works.

    That is true! But I was thinking I'll just insert a button in the end that scores one point. Or use slide views to get complete / incomplete status. That should work, right?

      I'm sorry. I did insert the image exactly like you said. But let me just do it again:

      You are right of course. Even if there was a total knowledge check score variable I couldn't use it for my intensions. I think I know where your article is going but I will read it in full now. I guess I'll need a user variable for at least every chapter to track the score. Probably even for every question.

      I'll let you know if I could get it to work.

      Thanks!

      I used the default quiz slides which allowed me to take advantage of the available system quizzing variables. You'll have nothing to start with if you are using Knowledge slides.
