Question slide navigation question

I am trying to figure out the best way to solve an issue we are having with some courses we've created.

So many of our courses are in this style, watch a video, answer some questions, watch a video, answer some question, etc.

The problem we are running into is being able to navigate away from question slides in order, to say, re-watch the video.

So we enable backwards movement on the quiz. This works fine except when you've already answered a question. If you end up back on a question screen already answered you can't progress forward from it. We can enable TOC to do this but that makes it even more confusing because if you end up on a question screen and DO NOT answer the question, the TOC marks it with a checkbox which to people taking the course, looks like you did it already when you didn't.

We tried putting the play bar on question slides but that is a bigger disaster because you can navigate forward without actually answering the question.

So people end up all over the place and or stuck.

I suspect this is our fault and are missing some setting somewhere.

    Design of quiz slides is that way: if you move away from a quiz slide, all attempts are considered to be exhausted.

    Possible solutions:

    • Use the Submit All feature, where all answers are submitted at once at the end. That allows free navigation between questions.
    • Use the Remediation feature, as described in this video (I prefer this original one over later created clones):
      Remediation in Quizzing -AdobeCaptivate 6 - YouTube

    Last possibility, but probably too much work; use custom quiz slides.

    we allow infinite attempts does that change anything? We allow people to try until they get it right (not my requirement)

    It is really just that forward movement from a question already answered that is the sticking point.

    Can we use javascript to check if the question was already answered and if so show a next button?

    In that case the Remediation is the way to go, have a look at that video. On failure the learner is sent to another slide (in your case the video slide), and after that slide navigated back to the question, where he can have another attempt. Learner can only proceed when the question is answered correctly. You'll just need a Next button on the video slide with the command 'Return to Quiz'. On first visit of the video (before answering the question) the Next button will keep its default command 'Go to Next Slide, no need for advanced actions nor JS.
