Instant feedback in quiz without submitting submit button

I would like to thank all of you for help. Actually there were too many problems, like we needed instant feedback with multiple choice questions, question pool as well as correct output on last slide of responses. We have been able to achieve this with advanced Javascript code (on slide enter and settimeout).

OP had asked: "​I want instant feedback in quiz without submitting button. can you please help me to find out how can I do it.?"

The 'Drag and Drop' interaction allows this as an option on under the 'Others' area of the palette.

Your further comments: facing 2 issues:

a. How can we get the usual quiz summary screen at the end to show user result if we use custom slides instead of quiz slide?

• There are also options for reporting, include in quiz, add to total and report answers in the palette.

b. Can we still create a question pool with custom slides and pull questions from there in the quiz?

• It doesn't appear that a regular content slide with this interaction will be imported to a question pool.
• You may be able to create a question within a pool and add this interaction.
• Alternatively, you can put the normal slide in the filmstrip surrounded by 'insert random question' slides. It will appear in each quiz, in a consistent order, but will allow you to achieve the objective of progressing when a correct answer is reached.

c. If previous 2 points are difficult to achieve, can we still use a question slide but create buttons there to record answers instead of radio buttons so that we create a pool as well as record user responses?

• You can use the controls in the palette to determine reporting options.

Example of slide within 'random question' slides:

Thanks, I really appreciate your help. It is almost there but the end slide which shows the result summary continues to add over prior numbers. Like it shows Total Questions - 59, while we have only 7-8 questions. Do you know why this could be happening? Is it possible if user clicks 1 button, then another on same question, it keeps on recording each click?

The question pool part is still unresolved, so any ideas to work around that inside Captivate or out of it in web application in which we have to show the questions will also help.

Ok got it. Can I get a link to an example of "Report to Quiz" with standard slides because when I am creating one it does not show the last slide with summary of responses and pass/fail status?

Thanks RodWard, this is helpful.

On 3rd point, if we add custom shapes to the quiz slides and also set them to report to the quiz (point 1), won't that let us create a pool and also fulfill the reporting purpose? 

Thanks Allen and Lilybiri for your help. We are trying the approach suggested by you. But facing 2 issues:

a. How can we get the usual quiz summary screen at the end to show user result if we use custom slides instead of quiz slide?

b. Can we still create a question pool with custom slides and pull questions from there in the quiz?

c. If previous 2 points are difficult to achieve, can we still use a question slide but create buttons there to record answers instead of radio buttons so that we create a pool as well as record user responses?

Ah - very well then. Let's take it to the zoo.

Create a slide with the question as regular text. and add n smart shapes for the buttons. You can track the correct / incorrect answers if you want by enabling reporting and assigning score values. In this case I use infinite attempts, and simply 'hide' the incorrect answers to reduce by the incorrect result the available options on each attempt. You could of course trigger feedback with any of these buttons - just remember to uncheck the continue playing project option.

Now assign a point or two to the correct answer button and enable reporting (if you want that.) You can then make the correct answer action to go to the next slide etc.

In the case above - it becomes game like - click any given answer - if it's right it goes on to feedback slide, if it's wrong it makes the choice go away. You could equally popup a lightbox overlay with some negative feedback in this kind of scenario - just group the elements in the lightbox and give some x etc. to close the box when finished reading.

Yes but there are advanced scenarios as well in which single submit is not the answer. For example if based on user's radio button selection we have to display a shape. User needs to see this shape and only after that will click Submit to go to next. How do you suggest to implement such cases? Is it possible to stop submitting to next question on submit click and instead take our own action - like on click we make the shape visible and also show a Next>> button which will take user to next question? Can we hide Submit button initially and display our custom button and show Submit only after shape is drawn? Can we submit the question with Javascript?

Did you think about the user experience: it is the user who should decide when his answer is ready... How will you allow that?

Captivate quiz question feedback is displayed AFTER the selected answers are evaluated as Correct or Incorrect.  The Submit button is what triggers that evaluation to happen so that the program knows which feedback to display.
