Use of Advance Actions in Quiz/Question Slides

On my multiple choice quiz slide, I created a very simple advance action that does two things when the learner is successful.

(1) Change the state of a button on page 2.

(2) Jump to page 2.

However, neither of these actions is occurring. On success, it just goes to the next slide.  

[I also added  a similar one in the failure action field for an advanced action when the learner does NOT get the question correct.

Only one attempt is allowed and only one failure message/success message displays.]

What do I need to change to make this work?

Thanks,

Sorry, but I do not really understand how that variable works and what the purpose is.  Therefore, I do not understand the question: "Did you get out of quiz scope?" 

The variable is on slide 2 per the instructions.

Did you look at that article, and download the list with system quizzing variables?

cpInQuizScope is a Boolean, when you are in the Quiz scope it has the value 1, if you are out of Quiz scope it has the value 0.


Another interesting variable is cpQuizInfoAttempts.  I don't know how mant attempts you provide on Quiz level, because if that is set to 1 and you get out of Quiz Scope, the attempts will be exhausted.

Quiz slides have very strict rules, and you can make it even more 'strict'. First question: what is the Quiz setting for 'Required' ?

If I understand well, you attached that first action to the Success event of the quiz slide? Will you be jumping out of quiz scope in that case?  Anyhow you cannot change the state of an object with an event on another slide, which means you have to reverse the order of the two commands: first jump to slide 2, than change the state of that object on slide 2.

What is the goal of this setup, please? Why do you not put that 'slide 2' just after the question slide? That would mean that it will be in the quiz scope.

Thanks for your reply.

The contents of the required field is: Optional.

i changed the order of the actions and this did not fix the problem.  It still goes to the next slide instead of slide 2.

The reason that I need all the questions to go back to slide 2 is because this is the slide that branches to all the questions.

The shape on slide 2 should change color/state based on if the questions are answered right or wrong.

i am attaching the Advanced Action to the On Success field.  If it is incorrect,  then the shape changes to the Incorrect state/color.

The learner can answer the 6 questions in any order by clicking the box with the ? mark in it, so I cannot move slide 2 under Q1.

This is a responsive project and I used the Quiz option. Would this work better if I used the Knowledge Check option instead.

Thanks,

Optional is fine, that is not limiting for navigation.

That is a strange way to organize a quiz, default quiz slides are certainly not designed to be used that way with free sequence nor with a dashboard for the quizzes. To have such granulary control you should need to create custom quiz slides, using variables, standard objects/interactions(widgets) and advanced or shared actions. Since you talk about a limited set of 6 questions that would solve the problem for sure. You don't need reporting, so that is a problem you don't have to face with custom quesition slides. You can find several examples on my blog.

What type of questions are you using? Can you insert the system variable cpInQuizScope on the first slide, and time it for the rest of the project to see if you are getting out of the quiz scope?

Knowledge slides have a different goal, you can read about the differences with regular quiz slides in this post:

How did you test? HTML5 is best tested after publishing and uploading to a webserver.


i am using Multiple Choice questions.   Tested in preview.

Thanks for the suggestion using cpInQuizScope.  I did add a Caption box to slide 2 and inserted this variable, then set the timing to Rest of Project.   This did not change the result: Unfortunately, it is still going to the next slide instead of back to slide 2.

In general, does advance options not work with Quiz questions?

Thanks for your help,
