quiz or not? and .... button that has two actions?
Hello all:
This is the experience I want for the user:
- On open, user sees instructions, one button (labeled Counselor Response #1) and a set of five radio buttons on the right side of the screen.
- User clicks Counselor Response #1. Text of response appears; at the same time, audio of response launches.
- User selects one of the radio buttons and clicks Submit. Feedback popup appears.
- When user clicks to close the feedback popup, Counselor Response button #2 appears.
- User clicks Counselor Response button #2.
And so on, until the user has heard/read all five counselor responses.
Originally, I used the Quiz multiple choice screen for this. (But this is technically not a quiz. The users will not be scored on their choices, but will get "correct" and "incorrect"- type feedback. They will also be encouraged to think about the rationale behind their responses and be prepared to discuss with their supervisor.) I placed each counselor response on a separate screen, and pretty much got it working that way, although I had not yet added in the audio. Now I'm back after a long absence (during which time I have forgotten lots of stuff), and I decided my existing design would be confusing for the user, so I switched to what you see here - all five responses (to a "client" video the user watched on the previous screen) and their feedback on one screen. And I have tried to add the audio.
I have visited the Advanced Actions panel and looked at the Captivate "help" for that page. I was following the help along quite nicely until the step that said, "Complete writing the code, using the provided options." I had no idea what they were referring to with "code" or "provided options." So I tried to do what I want using just the Properties panel for the counselor response button. The Properties panel only offers one action per button, though.
So my questions:
1. How do I get a button to do two things at once (i.e., show the text and play the audio)? If I could figure out the Advanced Actions "code", I bet it this button could do it.
2. I have abandoned almost all of the Quiz elements except the radio buttons and their links to feedback. For example, when I added Counselor Responses #2 - #5 to this screen, I discovered I couldn't simply copy and paste from the other slides or bring up the question style box on the screen I wanted to move them to. So I used caption boxes. In addition, it seemed to me that being a question box has no advantage in this context. So my question is: Will abandoning the quiz architecture cause problems down the road?
I'm sorry this is so long. Thanks in advance!
