asking a question in captivate with JS

[mikem2434667]

Hi community,

is there a way of getting a text box into Captivate so I can get my learners to enter in some text.

I have tried short answer Survey question but this does not work - also tried using the TEB but this has no carriage return.

Is there a way i can capture this data with javascript - and save it to my moodle LMS, it will never be more than a few sentences at most

many thanks

MNM

Did you try the Scrolling Text Interaction? It can have an associated variable, you'll have to see how to transfer its content to Moodle, using the getVariableValue in JS. I often use that interactoin instead of a short answer question. Here is one example:

Some interactions are useful, am not talking about the games. Have a look at:
