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?

Lilybiri,

Many thanks for your further reply.

The solution sounds rather complicated, I imagine involving JavaScript / ActionScript programming.

Kind regards,

Grant


I managed to do it with advanced actions. Have a look at:

Secrets of cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice and.... - Captivate blog

I capture it On Enter of the slide after the Question slide, seemed to work consistently although I didn't double-check on CP9 yet.

@Grant  AS is not really used anymore. I always (with some small exceptions which I do in JS) use advanced actions. Their advantage for me is that I don't have to learn a coding language at all. I am bit lazy..
