Question

Provide conditional feedback after Quiz based on responses to individual questions

I have Captivate 8. What we would like is for a user to take the quiz, and at the end, be shown the objectives or topics they need to review.

We do not want to provide immediate feedback while taking the test. But we want users to be able to know what they got wrong so they can go back to the course content to review before they try to take the test again if they failed.

So for example...

Question
Objective
Correct/Incorrect
1Objective 1
2Objective 1
3Objective 1Incorrect
4Objective 2
5Objective 2
6Objective 3Incorrect

at the end of the quiz I would like them to see their score, % accuracy, and a message telling them to review Objectives 1 and 3 before they try to take the test for their second and final try.

Any ideas?  For added complexity (perhaps) we are using random questions and a single question pool. 

I have limited experience creating variable and advanced actions...so if these are involved in the solution, please err on the side of too much detail 🙂

Thank you!

In theory this is possible, but you will need to create user variables that track which objectives are linked to which question slides. 

However, this won't work if using only a single Question Pool. You would need to ensure that you have several question pools and each question pool was ONLY related to a specific learning objective, because you will not know which question in the pool will be selected randomly for each user.

When the learner gets a question wrong, your On Last Attempt action of the quiz question will need to assign the value of the relevant variable that is tracking the applicable learning objective. 

Your Quiz Result slide will need to display which learning objectives were not achieved.  Your table shown above would be adequate, but for the highlighting to work, you would need to use Conditional Advanced actions that SHOW the highlighting behind the rows of any objective that wasn't met.

For the user to be able to jump back from the Quiz Results slide to review the content, and yet still trigger another quiz attempt, they would need to click the Retake Quiz button.  But this will only take them back to the first scored object in the project that is set to report to quiz.  So you'll need to ensure there is a button or some other interactive object set up this way near the beginning of the project (maybe on a menu slide) so that when they click Retake Quiz, they jump back to that point.
