Delay feedback for multiple choice quiz questions - Captivate 9

Hello,

In Captivate 9, is there some means of delaying feedback on individual answer responses until the quiz has ended i.e. at the review stage?

The Captivate 9 default is to display feedback for each question immediately after the student has answered the question. This is not appropriate for my needs.

Thank you and regards,

Grant Bailey

Lilybiri,

Thank you for your reply.

When the student reviews the whole quiz I want them to see written feedback on their responses at that point (and not before). In other words, when the student reviews the quiz, I want them to see (for each question) not only which response they made and which was correct but also (if the response was incorrect) an explanation of why the incorrect response was incorrect.

I tried your methods but all the student sees when they review the quiz are ticks (to indicate correct responses) and crosses (for incorrect responses). This is not sufficient for my needs.

Could you please advise whether Captivate offers some means of achieving what I want.

Regards,

Grant


So I understood what you wanted? Did you use one of the scenarios to have the feedback not showing up immediately? My methods only explained how to 'hide' the immediate feedback.

This 'new' question: yes, can be done but you'll have to use shared (or advanced) actions to trigger by the On Enter event for each quiz slide.  It will be a lot of work, since you'll have to store the given answer (at least for wrong answers) for each question slide in a user variable. That answer will be in the quizzing system variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice but that is a reused system variable. You have to prepare different feedback text containers (for each possible situation) that are initially hidden, but shown on the Quiz slide when in Review mode. That can be done with a conditional action checking the system variable cpInReviewMode (Boolean, is set to 1 when in Review mode).

Correct and incorrect responses are indicated via icons if the same quiz questions are revisited during Review Mode.

Have you tried turning on Review Mode?

Yes I have turned on Review Mode but I do not want students to receive feedback on their responses until the quiz has ended. Is it possible to arrange this?

Maybe I understand your question wrongly, different from Rod's understanding.

Do you mean that you don't want to see the Feedback messages (Success/Failure) when a user is submitting a question? You only want them to continue till the end of the quiz, where they will be offered the possibility to Review the whole quiz?

If that is the case you have some possibilities:

  1. Either uncheck all the feedback messages, and the two-step Submit process will be reduced to one step, see Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
  2. Or edit the feedback messages: make them the same for Success and Failure, no different look (check styles in Object Style Manager), just invite the user to press Y or click on the slide.

For both situations: this supposes you only allow one attempt on Question level.
