Ungraded and Graded quiz in Captivate 8

I am currently trying to create a course where there are 3-4 lessons.  In between each lesson, I want an ungraded benchmark quiz (2 or 3 questions) just to reinforce the content for the learner.  These quizzes tell the learner if they are wrong and give feedback on the correct answer.  At the end of all of the lessons, I want to have a 10 question graded assessment that will test on all of the content. 

I am having problems separating the benchmark quizzes and the overall assessment.  I want to use the button features on the results page, but when the learner clicks "retake assessment", it takes them to the ungraded benchmark quizzes.  When the learner clicks the "review" button, it includes the benchmark quizzes.  Also, if I have two ungraded 2 question benchmark quizzes in the entire course and 10 graded questions at the end, the results page shows 14 questions total.

I currently have the benchmark quiz questions with a grade of 0 and the final assessment questions with a grade of 10, but for the reasons stated above, I want to know if it is possible to have multiple quizzes in the course or any other ways to fix these issues.

Any help is appreciated!  Thank you!

Hi there

The problem here is that there can only ever be ONE quiz in any given Captivate project. So when you add those "ungraded" questions, they are still part of the single quiz.

Likely, you need to re-think the approach here. Instead of using actual question slides for those "ungraded" parts, just create normal slides and place Text Captions, Images and Buttons or Click Boxes that will behave as if it's a built in question slide. That way Captivate won't treat them as part of the quiz.

It is a SCORM rule that each file can have only one quiz. And some quizzing system variables for that reason take into account all questions, scored or not. That is the case with cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject, reason why you see 14 on the score slide. You'll have to replace that system variable by a user variable or by a literal number.

As for Retake/Review, you can trigger a conditional advanced action On Enter of the first benchmark question (supposing all benchmark questions are before the final assessment) that navigates immediately to the first real question. Of course if you allow a default playbar, user navigation will still be able to go anywhere.

For the condition in that action, you can use two other quizzing system variables: cpInReviewMode and cpQuizInfoAttempts. The first variable is a boolean (1 or 0), the second is incremented immediately when a new attempt on Quiz level is started. Condition can thus be something like this:

IF   cpInReviewMode is equal to 1    OR

      cpQuizInfoAttempts is greater than 1

Jump to ....          indicating the first assessment slide

ELSE

I currently have the results page without any of the buttons and directions to navigate to the next slide where I placed buttons for retaking the assessment that jumps to the appropriate slide and one to start the course over that jumps to the beginning.  I think your method might be a bit easier!  Thank you so much, I will play around with the slides and see if I can make this work.

For once it was Captiv8r who is talking about my favourite topic, custom Question slides. If you want them to look like the real question slides, it will take some work, and you'll need advanced actions, variables as well. Don't forget to look at the widgets or interactions (if you need HTML5 output) if you need checkboxes or radiobuttons.
