Image with Drop Down Box for Quiz Question

Report · Jun 17, 2016

Hi Everyone,

Question for the smart people I would like to create a quiz question in which I have an image of an object, next to some features of the object I would like to have a drop down box the learner click to select the correct feature. For example the image would be of a hearing aid, next the volume control button I'd like to have a drop down box that has 3 options and the learner needs to identify and select the correct option from the drop down box.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Steve

Hi Steve,

You didn't get any answer yet, maybe you are not offering enough details. The version number is missing, as well as if you want this to happen in a normal (SWF or HTML output?) or a responsive project,

I suspect you are talking about a custom question, because this is not one of the default types of questions available with Captivate.

Do you want to score this question? It is not a problem to turn this into a scored question using a scored interactive object. However if you want to transfer data to a LMS, it depends on the LMS to see which answer has been chosen by the user from the dropdown list.

There is a dropdown learning interaction. You can learn some details about its use in a blog post I wrote :

Hello,

Thanks for the help:

"The version number is missing," - Version 8

"...as well as if you want this to happen in a normal (SWF or HTML output?) or a responsive project," HTML output

"Do you want to score this question?" Ideally, yes.

8.0.3?

The dropdown interaction is a static interaction, which means that it cannot have a score directly associated with the interaction.

That means you'll have to use an interactive object, a possible work flow is described in this other article:

Report Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog

The idea is that the Submit button will trigger a conditional advanced (or shared) action to check the chose answer in the dropdown list, which is possible using the variable associated with that dropdown interaction. Based on the result, a Next button will be made visible: it should be the only way to proceed to the next slide. You need two instances of that next button: one with a score (will be made visible when the answer is correct) and one without a score (for incorrect answer).
