Drag object disappears on second play through

Hi,

I have a simple module. It starts with a few drag and drop activities and a few information slides. After these there is a hotspot quiz. My intention is that if the user fails the quiz after three attempts they are taken to the beginning of the module and asked to complete the whole thing again. I have all this interaction set-up fine, except when the module is restarted the first drag object does not display, making it impossible to progress as the drag drop activity is the trigger to continue.

Any idea why the drag object would not display on a second run through?

or

Is there a way I can tell the module to reset all slides, perhaps through an advanced action?

Cheers

Unfortunately, AA OnSlideEnter does not rectify the issue.

The states of the D&D objects do not change, not sure how adding different states would fix the issue.

My work around is to have the user returned to the first slide, after three failed quiz attempts, and be prompted to exit the module and reload it, thus resetting it. Seems odd that a ResetAll AA is not available.

Thanks for your help anyway.

What did you change with the object actions or the Success/failure actions of that D&D slide?

Do you know the InBuilt states of Drag&Drop objects? I proposed them as an alternative for your actions which changed the normal design/workflow of a D&D slide. From your answer I suspect that you don't know what I meant. Here is a complete overview:

Yeah, nah. The issue has nothing to do with states. The successful drop triggers the next slide. Basically, the interaction acts as a next button.

The initial drag and drop activity is not set up as a quiz, it does not report.

The quiz at the end is setup through a retake quiz button, after 3 failed attempts the user can only continue, on continue (after three failed attempts) the user is taken back to the first intro screen, where I have a box appear explaining they will need to go through the module again.

This intro slide plays fine. The user clicks next/start, and is taken to the second slide, this is where the problem is.

I have this second slide set up with some text on the screen, the user drags a magnify glass over a red cross, this action triggers the third slide to appear. As this D&D effectively is the navigation for the second slide, the user cannot proceed.

My current work around is to have the user exit the module and re-load it, but this is not ideal.

I just re-read your original post description and wondered if you have that drag and drop interaction set up to HIDE the object that gets dragged and dropped on top of the red cross.

If you have hidden the object (Visibility get set to OFF) then just returning to the same slide at a later attempt will not automatically UNHIDE it again. You would have to use the On Slide Enter event of that drag and drop slide to SHOW the object so that it is ready to be dragged again.

Is that perhaps where the issue lies?

nope, the action associated with the drop is to go to next slide.

I've noticed another little bug with the problem slide.

On entry the slide displays a text box with a next arrow, upon clicking the next arrow text box1 is hidden, and text box 2 is shown, along with the magnify glass and red x.

on the second run through, after the three failed quiz attempts, when this slide is entered it displays text box 2 and the reds x. It should be displaying text box 1 and the next button. It's essentially starting the slide half way through, and missing the magnify glass.

There is no single Advanced Action that will "reset all slides".

A module will normally reset back to starting condition if you completely relaunch the module. However, if all you are doing is just jumping back to the first slide again, then that of itself will not reset everything.

Can you give more detail about this initial Drag and Drop activity? Is it set to Report to Quiz with a score so that it becomes part of the quiz? Are your users reattempting the module via a Retake Quiz button on the Quiz Result slide, or are you using a different method?

Is the D&D slide set up as a scored slide or not ? If set.up as quiz slide it can only be reset with the Retake button on the results slide

If it is a knowledge check slide, no score, normally it resets when leaving the slide.
