Navigation issues with question slides in Captivate 6

In earlier versions of Captivate (5.5) we have always been able to insert question slides into our projects as checkpoints and allow the user to freely navigate through the project and answer the checkpoint questions as often as they like. We have also been able to provide success and failure feedback popups for those question.

In Captivate 6 we are seeing that question slides can apparently only be answered once and do not reset to be answered again the next time the user navigations to those slides. We want to allow the user to answer checkpoint questions as often as they like and we need to be able to provide success and failure feedback popups. We have tried every imaginable combination of setting with no success. Has anyone else been experiencing this or have a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Vernon . . .

This is really puzzling, because the Quizzing functionalities are now more dynamic. AFAIK it has never been possible to freely navigate to the project and question being reset automatically, due to the very strict Quiz scope in the past. Questions are only reset when the user clicks on the Retake button in the Score slide, and multiple Quiz attempts are allowed. That is still the same in Captivate 6, but the Quiz scope is now dynamic: if the user navigates outside of the normal quiz scope (that starts with the first scored object or question slide and ends with the score slide) the quiz scope is extended. That means that the quiz attempt is not automatically closed but remains active until the score slide is reached. I really think that you are doing something different now, because in 5.5 Retake functionality was exactly the same.

When I run the same projects with the exact same settings side by side in Captivate 5 and Captivate 6, in the Cap 5 project I can navigate the project freely and answer the checkpoint questions repeatedly as often as I like. As I navigate the questions are reset and can be answered again every time I enter the question slides.

In Cap 6 the questions are locked after the first answer and cannot be answered a second time. Even stranger is the fact that when tested using only a subset of the slides adjacent to the question slide (next 3) it works and does appear to reset the question allowing repeated answers, but it fails when the entire project is run.

I have asked our other developers to test this and they are experiencing the same problem with their projects.

The only difference I can see between the two projects is that the Quiz results slide in Cap 6 cannot be deleted whereas it does not exist in the Cap 5 project ???
