Question

Giving students feedback on their survey responses

Hi,

I have composed a Captivate module that closes with asking 15 questions - in survey format. The questions each demand a response from 3 possible choices: I do this / I could do this, but don't / I cannot do this

 

What I would *like          * to be able to do is to show the items that the respondent has chosen the second option for, in order to reinforce those items that they think they possibly *could* do.

How might I do that?

Thanks!

You could use the system variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice. Since that variable is reused on each slide, you'll have to store the answer after each slide in a user variable. At the end you can show the given answers. Or do you want something else?

In this old blog post you find some more info about that system variable:

Thanks for that. Yes, that sounds more or less like what I was after, and I did think/fear that this would mean my having to engage with variables.

I do find it odd that the variable is re-written for each response.Might it be possible to create a separate variable which would grow with each new response?

ie:

v1 = cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice

v2 = collatedResponse

and add in the routine v2=v2 + v1

?

I have experience of programming, but not within Captivate. Still finding my feet :-)

I wouldn't do thatn. Quizzing system variables are read only, so anyway you'll have to assign the first answer to a user variable.

  Assign v_one with cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice

The length of variables is limited as well. Inserting a variable in a text container is very easy.

Alternative is to switch immediately to JavaScript, where you can store the answers in an array.
