Question Slide Problem

Hi in our Adobe Captivate 5.5 project we have created 4 question slides, 3 of which are Multiple Choice and 1 is True/False.

The Question slides are on slide 8, 18, 28 and 30. The trouble faced is that while going through the Published exe file version we get an error. In case one answers the Slide 8 question correctly, goes back to any of the previous slides (maybe in order to go through them again or whatever reason) and then goes to any further question slide (18, 28 or 30), one doesnt get the options to answer them and get a message that "you did not answer the question completely".

Please help!!

Correct answer

Are you willing to share your project file with me so that I can better see how it is set up?

If so, send me a private message with a link to where I can download the CPTX or CP file and do some further testing.  There is something about this project that just doesn't make sense and I agree with you that this has gone on long enough trying to diagnose the issue from a distance.  The only way I can help further is to be able to play with the actual project file.


Hey guess what? We managed to solve it. My super awesome assistant manager did it. We were just trying to figure out a solution when she tried something and it worked

What she did was go to Quiz Preferences > Pass or Fail > If Failing Grade we checked Infinite Attempts. and it worked.

And hey Rod thanks a million for your patient, constant help. Could really count on you. And no, if wouldnt have been possible to share the file (sorry!!believe me i wouldve in order to get the solution) but we cant because of confidentiality reason - surely you understand.

Thanks a lot to you too Lilybiri.

Hello,

You are bumping onto the Quiz scope and the way Question slides are designed to function. Have a look at this blog post:

Question Question Slides

If you want to achieve this, since you are talking about only 4 question slides, I would recommend that you create custom question slides, using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. I have been blogging a lot about custom questions. Here is a link to a list about custom questions with widgets (T/F and MCQ are part of them).

Widgets and Custom Questions

You could extend the Quiz scope in an easy way, but that will not solve all of your issues, you need more control. Do you have to report the result to a LMS?

thanks for the quick reply.

No we dont have to report the result. What would you recommend?We are on a tight schedule and recreating with custom question slides, though not impossible but it would be a little troublesome to tell you the truth. How can we extend the quiz scope?

Add a scored button or click box to one of the first slides in the project.  That extends the quiz scope to that point.
