Question

Score a simple slide visit

Struggling a bit.  I have a project where I want a simple visit to a slide to count as a scored interaction.  Unfortunately the slide itself does not appear to support "Reporting".

Here is a trivial example of what I'd like to happen:

Slide 1 = no score report

Slide 2 = Report 20 upon entry

Slide 3 = Report 30 upon entry

Slide 4 = no score report

Slide 5 = Report 50

Slide 6 = no score report

I want the score to report upon entry to the slide as I want the user to be able to navigate freely using the table of contents to any slide they like.

Is there any way to do this?  I'm using Adobe Captivate 8 at the moment.

**

Note: It is possible I'm approaching this entirely incorrectly.  So here is the ultimate issue.  I'd like my eLearning to record in my LMS the percentage of a course that has been completed.  There is no test.  The slides that have videos on them would be the ones "scored".  So in the above trivial example if you can imagine that slide 2 has a 2 minute video, slide 3 has a 3 minute video and slide 5 has a 5 minute video.  I don't care if the user watches the whole 2 minute, 3 minute, or 5 minute clip.  I want to assume they did by simply visiting the slide.  If the user jumps right from slide 1 to slide 5 using the TOC, then the LMS should report 50 percent complete.

Are users required to click a 'next' button to proceed to the following slide? We had exactly the same issue in that we just wanted users to see all the slides for completion, but never managed to get slide views to report accurately for us. Now users click the next button on each slide, and we use that as reporting to a quiz with Pass/Fail option set to the number of next buttons. You could perhaps make the slides you don't mind if they watch as not reporting. You would also need to publish to SCORM 2004 if your LMS will allow. 1.2 just doesn't provide sufficient info to the LMS. It still may not give you all the information you require, but its worth testing out.

Hope this is helpful. I'm still learning too (on Cp9)!

It is possible to FORCE completion for unvisited slides using widgets.

The TickTOC widget from Infosemantics will do this for SWF output.

The CpExtra widget (also from Infosemantics) enables this for HTML5 output (as well as dozens of other functions).

Why do you not set up the completion criteria for slide visits instead of based on a 'score'?

Without JS scripting, you can only add a score to interacttive objects (like a button to be clicked), not to the event 'On Enter' of a slide.

<why do you not set up the completion criteria for slide visits instead of based on a 'score'?>

So originally I thought I was doing that in the Quiz Reporting options.  I had set it to "Success Criteria" = Slide Views 100%, and to use Slide views as completion criteria.

When I published it to my LMS (Cornerstone), I noticed after users started using it that it was only reporting "In Progress" or "Complete" and it was reporting a score of either 0 or 100, nothing in between.

So now I feel like I'm on a bit of a goose hunt to try to figure out how to get my project to report % complete with no quiz needed by my LMS, just based on number of slides viewed.  Note that in my original question I posited that certainly slides should count and other not count, but I don't even really care about that.  Percent of slides visited would be close enough for me.

Searching on google has unfortunately led to lot's of contradictory information so I'm a bit lost now.

If you set the Completion criteria to be 100% of all slides visited then your user must visit each and every slide otherwise the module will not be completed.

Is there any way your users might be able to use navigation buttons etc to MISS certain slides?  If so, those users will not get marked as completed.
