Question

How can I reset a complete training unit in captivate?

Hi all,

 

Is there a way I can build a button to reset all the remembered quizzes and progress in a unit/course?

 

I would like to add this button at the end of the course to allow a user to retake it all and clear all variables etc making it completley clean like they were sitting it for the first time.

 

Any help appreciated! Thanks

    This is much less simple than you expect. 

    Resetting quiz answers is done by having multiple quiz attempts AND clicking the Retake button on the Score slide.

    Resetting variables, show/hide actions, resetting effects need to be done manually. I mostly use the On enter actions of slide for such Reset actions. Advantage of using multistate objects to replace Show/hide is that you can avoid this by keeping 'Retain state....' unchecked for the mulltistate objects.

    If you want a real easy way for resetting, have the learner relaunch the session. Variables will be automatically be cleared and set up the quiz as explained above.

    Thanks. 

    when you say for the user to re-launch the session, what do you mean?

     

    within the LMS that we publish too, when it's re-launched all progress is remembered. Am I mis-interpreting?

    Progress will be 'remembered' by the LMS if the user closes down a session before completing it. That's known as LMS Resume Data Bookmarking.

     

    However, if the user proceeds past the Quiz Results slide to the end of the module and then closes down their session, the bookmarking data is deleted.  Relaunching the module again from the LMS will reset all variables and quiz questions.
