How do I create a quiz in Captivate that displays properly on iPhone & tablets?

Explorer ,

I am creating quiz pages for my e-learning project. The pages look great in desktop mode, but they are a mess in iPhone or tablet mode. Specifically, the test questions are all bunched, cut off, and/or missing. Also, I have an image (brief animated video) that has to run next to the answer choices. Are there any useful design options?

Which version do you use? If it is 2017, did you use Fluid boxes or

Breakpoint view for the responsive project?

I am using Captivate 2017 with fluid boxes. When I select Question Slide, it automatically creates a slide with six vertical boxes.

And here's another weird thing: When I duplicate a quiz slide, it flips my image (video) with the quiz questions. I want the questions on the left, video on the right.

I blogged about the fluid boxes on quizzing master slides after exploring

them. For me they worked pretty well on all devices I tested.

I see that you talk about an image/video. Which type of question did you

use?

I have multiple-choice-type questions with four answer choices for each. The videos are 30 seconds or less in which there is an animation on how hockey players should position themselves while killing a penalty. (Just some animations I made using Animaker.) But even without the video, my text fields are all messed up. I want to create one slide to use as a template so I don't have to repeat this long process 20-30 times.

Looking at your blog page, I don't see anything specific to "quizzes," though I did visit "Starting with Captivate." It's nice to hear that many others (not just a beginner like myself) struggle in creating quiz pages.

Title is Fluidize your Quizzes.

Those videos or animations, do you have then on the MCQ slide? No space

left in any fluid bos.

I will check out your blog. Thanks.

I just inserted the video into the fluid box that contained the answer choices. Maybe you can spot any red flags below. It's working better in the iPad format, but I have given up on iPhone. Any online course I have taught or taken as a student warns not to take tests on smart phones.

Sorry, on the road. That answer area is not meant to be filled with a video.

OK, but when I preview it, it's working just fine.

BTW: I am a student preparing my first e-learning module with Captivate.

It works well in desktop and iPad resolutions. I have given up on iPhone. I have to have this completed by Monday morning, and I have another non-Captivate project for another class also due. So, I'm probably not going to get everything perfect in time, though I'm trying to.
