Hello to everyone,

I'm new in Captivate world and I'm learning how to create some advanced functions with quizzes.

I have to create a learnin path in which the students should answer a random question and if they answer it rightly they can continue the path but if they answer it wrongly they are bringed back to the previous slide and another random question is loaded. How can I do it?

Thanks

Domenico

Do you need to report the questions? The design of quizzes with random question slides in Captivate is that those questions will be generated on starting the course. If you provide multiple attempts on quiz level, the same random questions will appear in any attempt.

If  you don't have to report you could navigate the user to another random quiz slide. However both question slides will be tkaen into account in the quizzing system variables.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Yes, I need to report the questions but, if the program is not able to show different questions for each attempt I’m in bug troubles. Do you have an idea on how to avoid this limit?

Moreover, if I set the number of attempts to “unlimited” and I set the action for wrong answers to “go to prev slide” the program allows me to answer the question until I chose the correct answer without pushing me at the previous slide… So, I can’t reach the goal too using the same question (without shuffling the answer from the pool)… Anyway, I must implement a learning path according to the specified need: bring the user back to the previous slide if he fails the question and take a new question from the pool for the next attempt. Despite it loads the questions on start, can I use a javascript function for implementing this structure? Thanks.

Problem with having to report is that all questions will be included in the quizzing system variables. It may be possible to use JS as a workaround but I'm not sure at all. It is possible (also with CpExtra HTML widget by InfoSemantics) to store the result in a user variable that will be transferred to a quizzing system variable later on. However that means that you probably will not see the attempts mad by the user.

When I read your text carefully, I am bit confused: are you talking about attempts on quiz level or on question level? If this is on question level, going to the 'previous slide' will only be possible when you allow Backwards movement in the Quiz Preferences. It is not a normal behavior at all, because the given answer to a question will be blocked when you leave a question. It can only be released when you choose the Retake functionality which is on Quiz level. This is an old article, which I need to rewrite (too busy at this moment) but it explains differences between the two levels:
