Captivate 9 - Sequence Quiz Issue

Hi, I hope you can help.

I'm noticing some strange behaviour when scrutinising the course I created.

I have a package that contains 3 quiz slide.  The latter two quiz slides are sequence Drag & drop and it's those I'm finding an issue with.  When arranging the 4 statements in the correct order, on occasion the slide will just skip to the next slide.

I have tried to replicate this consistently, which I believe I have managed to do.  I'll explain below;

Quiz 1 - Multiple Choice: Graded, 3 answers, shuffle, A)B]C).  Captions: Correct, incomplete. Actions: Success/Last Attempt-Continue, 2 attempts, Retry message, failure message 1.  Reporting - check

Quiz 2&3 - Sequence: Graded, 4 answers, 1.2.3 numbering, Drag & Drop.  Captions: Correct.  Actions: Success/Last attempt-Continue, Retry message, Failure message -1.  Reporting-Check

Replicating the issue

If I complete multiple choice Quiz 1 by selecting the correct answer, press the submit button and instead of clicking anywhere, I click play on the play bar to progress through to the next quiz.

On Quiz 2, I arrange the steps/statements randomly, the quiz will jump to the next slide.

Observations

1. When I reach Quiz 2 after using the playbar to progress past Quiz 1, the hand cursor is present when hovering across any point on the slide

2. When I reach Quiz 2 after clicking anywhere on the slide on Quiz 1, the hand cursor is only present when hovering above the 'Answer Area'

 

Can this be fixed at all?

My aim is to keep navigation consistent.  We'd prefer the playbar to be used on all slides.

    You may have messed up the normal design of quiz slides by deleting embedded objects. Embedded objects have no individual timeline, not on the quizzing master slide nor on the quiz slide based on thsoe master slides. The normal Submit process of a Quiz slide is in t<o steps:

    1. User clicks the Submit button, Feedback message appears. If it is a Retry message, user can have another attempt, but if the answer is correct or the last attempt is done, user is invited to click on the slide or press Y. I don't see that in your explanation.
    2. After clicking on the slide or pressin Y, the actions defined for Success or for Last Attempt are executed. Default actions are Continue, which meass the playhead will be released and moves until the end of the slide (inacitve part after pausing point) to go to the Next slide.

    You are NOT supposed to have to press the Play button on the playbar, I even recommend always to hide that playbar on quiz slides, which is an option in Quiz Preferences.

    Hi, thank you for such a quick response.

    Yes, the quiz was originally set up to press submit and then the user is notified to click anywhere to continue.  Our customer has fed back to us, they want navigation consistent instead of using the playbar then clicking somewhere else then returning to the playbar again.

    Hiding the playbar wouldn't be an option as we have multiple attempts set up on the quiz.  When the user gets the question wrong, we suggest the user uses the playbar to go back 'x' slides to review the relevant info required to answer the question correctly.

    I'm not sure how else we would circumvent this bearing in mind we want to keep navigation consistent.

     

    I'm unsure as to why the user can't press play on the play bar after quiz submit button has been pressed.

     

    Thank you.

    Reason is that the learner will get in trouble when you override the quiz slide design that way.  Using the playbar during the quiz is a very bad idea, learner can get stuck on quiz slides, can lose attempts on question level, maybe even on quiz level. If you want remediation, like going to look to content slides, you can use the remediation feature (google for it) but it is limited.

    If you want consistent navigation you need to:

    • Create custom navigation buttons
    • Not use the default quiz slides but create custom quiz slides, using standard objects, variables and advanced/shared actions.

    You didn't tell if the quiz slides are scored or not? Will a LMS be used to track the results?
