Question

Multiple Choice Quiz with feedback for each response

I need to create a multiple choice quiz, within a Captivate 5 piece. 1 question only, with 4 options to choose from. The SME would like to give response specific feedback on the quiz page as any of the (3) incorrect options are selected, as well as when the correct response is finally arrived at.

for example: (just using a simple made up one here to illustrate as our questions are much longer)

Question:

What is the capital of Australia?

Option                                   Feedback if selected

A: Melbourne                     A: Only someone from Melbourne would say that, try again

B: Sydney                          B: Sydney is special but not the capital, try again

C: Brisbane                        C: Brisbane, sunny one day, perfect the next, try again

😧 Canberra                        😧 Canberra is the capital of Australia, founded in........

participants would be able to have multiple attempts until they got the correct answer, and then progress to the next slide.

Another developer has created a quiz, but unfortunately the way they have configured it the incorrect options 1,2,3 appear in the order the response is selected, not linked to the actual response. I have been trying to work out what they have done possibly to do with "on failure" but think I may be better to start from scratch an may need to use advanced actions?

Would love to hear from anyone who can point me in the right direction. I have been dilligently searching the forums, but haven't hit upon a solution yet.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Margot,

There is an Advanced Answer functionality. Select one of the answers (A,B...) and look in the Properties panel for the Advanced Answer option

Ok, so I have found the Advanced Answer Tab and the show Feedback Message and have customised this as I need. Thankyou.

When I test the quiz, I can make the first incorrect selection, getting the appropriate feedback, but when I go to change the response it jumps to the next slide.

I obviously need to change something in the Quiz Properties / Actions or another instruction. Also I read something about having to have a clear button or action to click anywhere to continue, so that the user is able to make second, or subsequent attempt if the first answer is incorrect.

The original build of the slide only included a submit button, no clear, back etc.

Currently Quiz propertes are:

Action:

On success - go to next slide

Attempts 1 is greyed out - infinite is ticked

Failure levels None

Thank you, my knowledge of captivate is growing exponentially thanks to these forums.

Margot,

The Multi-Choice (NOT multi-answer) question type DOES allow you to choose an Advanced Answer options that mean you can show a different failure caption for each option.  Just select each answer listed, then go to Properties tab and checking the Advanced Answer option and Show Feedback Message. Then you can edit the text in the feedback caption as needed. You also have the option to trigger an Advanced Action if this answer is chosen (which would allow you to jump to another slide, etc)

Although you can convfigure a quiz question to have up to unlimited number of attempts, you are limited to only 3 failure levels. Which means that after the final failure level no more feedback captions will appear until your final attempt is reached, (e.g. 10 if you allow 10 attempts).  However, if you set to Unlimited attempts, this means you'll never see the final caption.

If you need more control than this, you might be better off creating this question from scratch using Captivate interactive objects (clickboxes, buttons, widgets) and Advanced Actions, rather than trying to use a Multiple Choice question quiz question type.  That way you can potentially allow the user to do the interaction and go to each option as often as they want.
