Setting incorrect answers on a customised quiz

Hi there.

I'm setting up a customised quiz (not using question slides) and was wondering how you set the correct/incorrect answers. What I've done so far is included all answers in the quiz (via the reporting section), but only set the right answer to "Add to total". This seems to work, as I get the correct scores at the end of the quiz, but when looking at my LMS reports it's counting all answers as "Correct", even when answered incorrectly.

Any idea if this to do with the Captivate settings or the LMS settings?

The LMS I'm using is a customised one built for the company I work for using a Joomla template.

Thanks.

As much as I love your patronising hostility, maybe you should actually read peoples posts before treating them like idiots.


In cases like this the first thing we usually suggest is that you upload your problem module to SCORM Cloud and test it there to see if it scores correctly.

As you have stated that your LMS is a custom job created for your company, it's possible that it's not truly SCORM compliant.  If your module behaves consistently well in SCORM Cloud, I'd be blaming the problem on your LMS.  If it also misbehaves in SCORM Cloud then you may have a glitch or some type of corruption in your module.  In that case, try creating a small sample CPTX project with a single True/False quiz question and see if that will score correctly.  If it does, your project may have become corrupted.

Having spoken to my LMS admin, I've figured a few things out, however I now have a slightly different problem:

It seems you have 2 options with reporting on custom quiz slides - either you have every single answer be marked as correct, or you have the right answer marked as correct and all wrong answers not reported on at all. This seems pointless, as it means there's no way of reporting on incorrect answers.

Currently I have incorrect answers set as not being included in the quiz, so no points are assigned to them.

Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is set the wrong answers to be reported, but have 0 points assigned to them. I can't enter a 0 in the points scored box though (it has to be at least 1). Is there no way around this?

I need to be able to see how every question was answered, not just the "right" ones.

Any ideas?

Need more details...you'll find a lot about custom questions on my blog, some about reporting. If  you use SCORM, you'll have to know that only interactive objects, besides question slides, can have a score attached to them. If you don't want to use JS, you'll have to set up the reporting that way:

Report Custom Questions - part 1 - Captivate blog

Report Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog

As for the reporting of the answers, all depend on the LMS: some can capture the value of user variables, others not. You'll have to use those variables if your LMS is in the first category.

Hi Lilybiri.

Thanks for the response. To explain further...

This is what I'm seeing on my LMS report (this is an example for one question)

As you can see the result of the question is showing as "correct", but it was actually answered incorrectly. It's a multiple choice question using click boxes. For the correct clickbox I've got these settings:

The wrong clickboxes have these settings:

I've also tried unticking the "Include in quiz" box, and only having the "Add to total" box unticked, but my LMS still tells me it was answered correctly when answered incorrectly.

Any thoughts on why this is happening?

You didn't answer my question about more details. I still don't know how you did setup your questions, for which objects you are showing the Reporting accordion. My intuition may be wrong, but I suspect your setup is not correct at all. Did you read my blog posts about reporting?
