Inserting Quiz questions in scrollable page layout Captivate 12

[Joanna34211155gkkn]

Hi Adobe Community, 

Ive just started with Adobe Captivate 12 and I need to insert multiple choice quiz questions after info blocks and videos that are part of the web style scrolling interface. It seems that to insert a quiz question we need a new slide and that takes the learner out of the scrollable slide. Is there a way to have questions with feedback without leaving the slide the learning is scrolling through? 

I will be very gratful for your help 🙂

Quiz slides are very 'closed', there is very little customisation possible. You cannot add blocks to it, you cannot use the On enter event as trigger, default actions for Success, Last Attempt are not conditional (there is a workaround).... etc. You see that all options in the left tool bar are dimmed for a quiz slide.

If you want scores on a scrollable slide with blocks, you'll need to create custom questions. That means that you use interactive objects which can have a score attached instead of the fixed layout quiz slides. Or you can use bookmarks to send the learner to a quiz slide, and come back to the scrollable slide.

Thank you for your help Lilybiri 🙂 Can you direct me to a learning resource that would teach me to create content from scratch in new Captivate e.g creating quiz questions and getting feedback.  Just one more question about the bookmark function, will it take the learner to the exact block they were at or the top of the slide and they will need to scroll down?

No, I feel not respected anymore and frustrated about the loss of all expertise with this new (buggy and limited) version. I have written more than 50 articles on my blog about quizzes and all possible use cases. None of them is still valid. Thousands of work hours (for free) thrown away.

As I mentioned, have spend weeks trying to get to grip with the bookmarks in version 12 and for sure they are not doing what I expected, it is more trial and error. They should replace the former micro-navigation but that is for sure not the case. I also doubt that they will return to a location in a scrollable slide, cannot even return to a frame in a slide and dynamic bookmarks are totally excluded:

Oh it does sound frustrating. Im new to Captivate all together but alreading seeing lots of limitations.  Some of the ready made building blocks are nice to have though.
