Question

How to restrict user from taking a course after 2 attempts

Hello Captivate Saviors,

I am very new to Adobe Captivate and have a Captivate file with me which was created by another team member before me. This is a test/quiz and when I check the max number of attempts per question it has been restricted to 1. If a user selects an incorrect response, she/he will be prompted to exit the course and re-take the test. I want to restrict the total number of attempts a user can get to launch the test is 2 times. This is where I need your help.

Currently the settings are such that even if the user has attempted the test and failed twice, they are able to re-launch the course again in the LMS. The LMS unfortunately does not have the feature to restrict the course after max 2 attempts. Is there any settings in Captivate wherein I can freeze the course for a user after they have taken the max 2 attempts? Currently the user can launch the course multiple times. Rather an ideal situation would be where a used has made 2 attempts to complete the test, has been unsuccessful, launch the course again in LMS but is unable to proceed forward.

Any help in this would be great.

Regards

Sumyth

That should be a very low-performing LMS in that case, because this IS typical a feature that has to be enabled in the LMS. Are you sure this is not possible?

Hello Lily,

I did look up the LMS. So it only allows the user to re-assign the same training more than once but does not offer a restriction on the number of times its can be re-assigned. I understand this is a flaw in the LMS. However, is there a way that this restriction can be applied within Captivate. Just wanted to check if such a feature is available in Captivate. Appreciate your assistance.

The only built in possible restrictions in Captivate are Project Expiry Date and Password Protection, not number of times the couse can be taken. You could track that number with a variable stored in local storage (using JS), but that would only work if the learner always uses the same device. Maybe someone else has another suggestion?
