Knowledge Check Questions

[katherinel12911849]

This may seem like a silly question in that it's either simple to implement or just not possible, but whatever. Here goes:

I want to incorporate a set of Knowledge Check slides throughout my Captivate Project. I don't want to use a 'Submit' button at all. If the user clicks the correct answer, it gets highlighted green and a congratulatory message appears, and then the navigation buttons appear to continue the presentation.

Is this possible? Having to click a 'Submit' button when it's simply a knowledge check seems a tad overkill.

Knowledge slide are based on the same maser slide as normal quiz slides. Almost all the functionality depends on that Submit button. When the learner decides to be ready to submit the answer(s) he should click that button and the two-step submit process starts. If you want something else, you can develop custom question slides, using interactive objects and advanced/shared actions.

You can easily set up slides that do this without using normal Quiz Question slides or Knowledge Check slides.  Just use normal buttons for the answers.  As soon as the user clicks the correct (or incorrect) answer, set the button action to do whatever you want. 

The submit button on quiz slides is basically there to delay things and allow the user the option of changing their mind and choosing a different answer before they actually submit the answer for assessment.  If you don't have the submit button then you can only usually have questions that boil down to choosing one answer.  Selecting that answer then invokes an immediate response.

But what if you wanted the user to select two or three of the options presented (i.e. the equivalent of a multiple response quiz question slide)?  Then how is the question supposed to know when to invoke the action?  When ever you have question types that are more complex than straight multiple choice or True/False, that's when a Submit button makes good sense.
