Question

Two correct clicboxes counted as one point in quiz

Hi,

I have a slide in which there is two buttons (it has to be button, i can do it through quiz) marked in Reporting section as inclouded to the quiz for 1 point each. Both are correct answers.

The user can click in either button, it takes him to the next slide and i want it to count it as 1 point. The problem I have is that maximum score is 10, and if user clicks all test correctly is still 90% good because on this problematic slide he clicked one button. 

I tried to name it as the same ID, doesnt work. I think maybe i should use some advanced action but it should probably involve some command in java to set second button quiz value to -1. I'm not using the quiz slide, so i cant add negative points.. Hmm.

Dou You have maybe some ideas how can i fix this? I'll be grateful for help.

    Couple of ideas:

    • If possible, do not go to the next slide with the buttons but use a Next button which is previously hidden and shown when a correct button is clicked. Attach the score to the Next button, it will be counted only once instead of the score attached to the two correct buttons. If you also want to possibility for non-correct buttons, use two Next buttons, the second button has no score and appears on a wrong button click.
    • You cannot manipulate quizzing system variables within Captivate. However you could use the CpExtra widget (InfoSemantics)- Australia) which is not free. One of its multiple functionalities is to be able to transfer a score to the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored.
    • As you suspected, you can do the same with JavaScript. There are many JS experts around here, they will pop in for sure. I will leave you to them.

    I've been thinking about the idea with Next button, but i think its immposible. For example I'm putting the button with advanced action on the slaid before (no. 5) it will show both correct buttons on slaid no 6, but it will still count them separately. I can't do it on slaid no 6. becuse if user clicks aywhere but two correct buttons he will get an information that he did it wrong, and move to the next slide (i have click box under this two correct boxes with advanced action) so i have nowhere to put the activator to Next button. 😞

    Apparently you didn't understand my workflow, which I have published in a very old blog post and it has been 'captured' by many other 'experts' as if they invented it themselves (of course without any reference to my original blog):

    Of course if you want the two Next buttons to remain invisible when coming back to the slide, you will need to hide them using the On Enter action of the slide.

    If you want me to explain it step by step I need ALL information. You didn't tell anything about having stacked interactive objects (buttons on top of a click box). I am pretty sure that I could figure it out, but without details this is impossible. You would need to post a screenshot of the timeline of the slide, and of the Advanced Interaction panel to see which actions are triggered. What is the functionality of that click box? How many attempts do you provide for the interactive objects? If it is less than infinite, what are the Last Attempt actions?
