Adobe Captivate 7 - Is the review of quiz results depending on question types?

[Guest]

Adobe Captivate 7 provides the function that you can review all questions and you can see which one of them were answered correctly and which one of them were answered incorrectly. In my e-learning project there is an exercise which is composed of multiple choice questions and drag and drop tasks. This question / task slides are between the content slides, that means for example after 5 content slides there are 2 questions slides, then there come 3 content slides and 1 question slide and so on.The results of all types of questions - multiple choice, drag and drop - are included in the results of the quiz. At the end of the e-learning the "quiz results slide" comes with the button "check Quiz". I tested this feature after exporting the e-learning from Adobe Captivate7. I noticed the following: If you click the button "check Quiz" the learner comes back to all slides with questions he or she has answered. For this on the question slides were placed automatically the buttons "next" and "back" and in the field "inspection" there is written what the learner answered The first two questions are multiple choice questions. There it works correctly that the two buttons appear. After clicking the "next" button on the first question slides which contains a multiple choice question, the learner comes to the second question slide, which also contains a multiple choice question.The third question is a drag and drop task. There the buttons doesn't appear so the review of the quiz stops and there is no "inspection" field.



How does the review of the quiz works correctly despite of types of questions?

Drag&Drop is not a normal question type. It has no dedicated master slide (where those buttons are embedded objects). It can be included in a quiz but you'll need to do some more work to have it behaving exactly like the default question type slides. What I call 'default' are the types that are normal for SCORM, and they all use a master slide. That is not the case for D&D. If you want similar Back/Next buttons to appear, you'll have to create them and make them visible using a shared/advanced action On Enter.

Your 'Check Quiz' button is that a renamed Review button on the Score slide?

Hi,

With "check button" I mean the "Review button" on the score slides

How does it works with the functions and the extra buttons on all drag and drop slides which will be only visible during the Review process? Do I have to combine there appearing with the event  clicking the Review button on the score slides?

What is your skills level with Captivate? Did you already use system variables (there is a cpInReviewMode variable) and advanced/shared actions?

[Guest]

I only use some variable to count the slides (cpInfoCurrentSlide, cpOnfo slide Count) so that the user cann see how many he has already visited and how many slides are still coming.

And I have created advanced actions to realize some pop ups .

You will have to create the buttons you want on the D&D slide, and format them to look similar to the buttons on the other Quiz Slides. Then hide them by unchecking 'Visible in Output' in the Properties panel.

For those D&D slide you'll need a conditional advanced or shared action to be triggered On Enter. The action will check the value of the system variable cpInReviewMode, which is a Boolean that will be set to 1 by Captivate when you are in Review mode. If its value is indeed = 1 you show the hidden buttons. If you group those buttons, you'll need only one command:

  IF cpInReviewMode is equal to 1

      Show Gr_Buttons

      Continue

ELSE

     Continue

Hi,

I was successful. I could program this function you have written.

Despite I have two more questions:

1. How can I stop the audio during the review process within all question slides the user is reviewing?. I integrated the action in the programmed function"stop the triggered audio" . Unfortunately the export doesn't run anymore at slide 42 so I cannot reach the Review slide to test whether it was correct.What could be the solution for this?

2. Drag and Drop Question slides haven't a question Counter. How can I  program this Counter for the slides?

[Lilybiri]

Do you have any other audio, or is OK to mute all audio? If that is the case add the statement "Assign cpCmndMute with 1" to the THEN part of your conditional action.

Drag&Drop is not totally a question slide like other questions. You'll need to create a custom progress indicator. This is an old post, but work flow will still be valid I think:
