Randomizing questions for each quizz attempt

Hello,

In my project, I want to give the learners 10 questions, with each question coming from a seperate pool. I have set the quizz to infinite attempts and a pass mark. If the learner does not pass the quizz and needs to retake it, I want the project to again draw on the question pools randomly and generate another set of questions (some of them will probably be the same, that's okay for this project).

My problem is that I can't work out how to generate a set of questions on each attempt; the same set is always presented. Trying to figure this out, and not being able to find a native function for this or even any discussion on it anywhere, my secondary question is... am I out on an pedagogical limb wanting to do this? (I am trying to reinforce the learning by repasting the relevant content in the correct/incorrect captions).

If anyone has any thoughts on either, I would appreciate it.

Joe

Adobe has taken the view (which I actually agree with this time) that if you've presented a given set of questions to a user, then they should be allowed to master those specific questions, before you throw another set at them.  Even if the new set would be addressing similar knowledge.

So you'll find that you can only draw a fresh random selection from the pool AFTER relaunching the lesson module.  That's just the way it works.

If you'd like to see it work differently, you can join the list of other people that have asked this same question over the past few years and log an enhancement request.
