Question

How to set time limit for a quiz

We are using the Submit All feature in Captivate 6.0. I would like to set a time limit on the entire quiz, basically a "final exam" of 50 questions which the student should complete in 60 minutes.

We are using an LMS and SCORM 2004 v3.

Any ideas how to implement this?

Personally I would use the functionality of the LMS in that case. Most of them allow you to set a time limit...

Does Captivate 7 change this? Can Captivate 7 allow one to enforce a time limit for an entire course?

I tried setting a time limit in the LMS (SCORM Cloud), but all SCORM Cloud does is close the window that launched the Captivate SWF. The student can keep the course open in its window as long as they like, but if they try to relaunch, then SCORM Cloud won't let them open it again.

The other annoying thing is combining the "# of Attempts" with the time limit. SCORM Cloud requires that the Captivate SWF or some front end LMS track and limit the "# of Attempts". The time limit SCORM Cloud can deliver is over all the attempts rather than per attempt.

It's like a rabbit hole - it just gets deeper.

Hi pcapademic,

i have the same issue. Did you found a solution for this problem?
I am trying to control the quiz with a timer widget and eventhandling in js. But i found no solution to force test submission or disabling user input after the timer elapsed.
