Scoreboard

[hooplife]

Would it be possible to include a "scoreboard" on a captivate quiz. 

On this scoreboard it would include the time remaining on the quiz?  Number of questions answered correctly (or point so far) and number of questions remaining...?

Some information you are asking for can be inserted easily, because most of the Quizzing system variables are updated after all questions. You can insert them in a text container. I have several examples on my blog. List with system variables for Captivate 6 (you don't tell the version you are using): http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6

For some other info you'll have to create user variables and calculate with an advanced action (number of questions remaining...).

But I don't understand which 'time' you want to display? Have a look at these posts:

And how will you display that scoreboard? Permanently or 'on demand' by clicking/rollover? In that case:

Like Lilybiri says you'll need to create some variables and advanced actions to calculate scores/show questions remaining.

If you're looking for a timer that counts down (or up) during the quiz, I developed something using (again) variables and advanced actions to calculate and show the time in a caption, with the total time able to be set in the variables.  I'm happy to share it if it would be of use.

There is a timer widget with Captivate: http://blog.lilybiri.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners

Yes there is @Lilybiri! That's a much easier option but I'd forgotten all about it - I'm only on 6.01 anyway, so the timer widget for that version doesn't do what I need it to.

Timer widget is different from the TImer Interaction (why do they use same name ) available from 6.1 on. With that interaction (and with hourglass interaction) you can have a Jump to Slide occur when time has elapsed (+ 2 seconds). No other action possible, but of course you can trigger an event on entering the slide you jumped to. Time can be shown or you can make the widget transparent.

Of course you can create a timer using the system variables cpIntoElapsedTimeMS using a bit of elementary maths
