Review Text Box Entries

[heintzt96]

Hello,

I am testing out Adobe Captivate and liking it so far. If I can solve either of these two problems, I'll be purchasing it. I have two questions, hopefully I can get a good answer.

Question 1: Is it possible to have multiple fill-in-the-blanks on one slide that are graded individually? (I need 60 questions answered this way).

If not:

Question 2: When creating a slide and doing text-box style entries, is there a way that they can see the correct answers after taking the quiz to find out what they missed?

I hope to hear an answer soon.

The default FIB typeof question has a 'black-white' way of scoring, which meand that ,no partial scoring is possible as is the case with MCQ with multiple correct answers.

However you could create a custom question slide; using  multiple Text Entry Boxes. Each TEB can be validated and scored individually which will lead to the partial scoring you want.

To show the correct entry in a TEB, you can create a hidden text container with the oorrect entry and show that text container during Review. If you have those TEB's included in the Quiz score, you can use the system variable cpInReviewMode to check and dhow the correct entry when in that mode.

Thank you for your response. I am very new to all of this, so I am going to now ask some follow up questions.

I am having a problem where my TEB has a submit button every time I add one. However, if I click submit, it only scores the one it corresponds to. How do I correct this?

Secondly, how would I create a hidden text container?

Long time ago I wrote a blog post about using one Submit button for a sequence of TEB's:

One Submit button for Multiple Text Entry Boxes? - Captivate blog

That will give you an idea how to realize it.

I use the term 'text contianer' because both a caption and a shape can be used to have text. That container should have the correct entry. To make it initially invisible, you can click the eye button top left in the Properties panel of the text container, which will make the container included in the course, but invisible to start with. To make it visible use the command 'Show...'. If you use the Review mode (for scored TEB's), you can use the On Enter event of the slide to trigger this conditional action:

   IF cpInReviewMode is equal to 1

      Show Tx_correct          using Tx_correct for the text container

      Continue

   ELSE

      Continue

Captivate is a very powerful application, you'll need some time to learn about eveyr feature. Here is another article I wrote recently about the main core skills to learn about:

Thank you again for your reply. I am beginning to understand a bit more about this, however, I am still confused on how I am supposed to allow one button to score all of my TEB's? I do not need validation in any of these (not until the review portion).

Is there a way of creating a button that would simply grade all prior slides?

[Lilybiri]

I thought you wanted a Fill in the Blank with partial scoring: each entry should have a score? Did I misunderstand?

[heintzt96]

I do apologize, I am probably not being very clear.

What I would like to do is have 5-10 questions per slide with the option of going back or forward in the quiz. At the end of the quiz, I would like a single button that says "Submit" to score all of the answers from all of the previous slides. After it has scored them, I would like to add in a review option that will allow the user to see what they missed.

I can't seem to find a way to have a single submit button for all questions, it just grades the single question it is connected to.

Indeed, not clear at all. You need to check the option 'Submit All' in Quiz Preferences, but it has a lot of drawbacks.

I do apologize, I'm not entirely used to this. My main job is script writing and development, this is an entirely new portion being added to my plate with a big learning curve. With this submit all button, what kinds of drawbacks will there be?
