Captivate 5: reading random Questions in a Quiz

Similar Questions

• Connection with random questions

  Captivate newbie here...
  
  I am creating a Jeopardy-style quiz in Captivate 3 using random questions that are contained in separate categories for each category of question. The game board is on slide 2, and it has 20 transparent buttons with the 'jump to slide' actions, pointing to a question slide randomly. Random question slides have a "submit" button and a back button, which I intend to provoke a jump behind the game board. The branching tree shows an arrow (black) navigation on slide 2 to each slide of the question and each question slide shows "go to slide 2" actions for success and failure.
  
  I had hoped that the jump to the game board would be automatic after the user answers the question, but it is not. The previous button on each slide should be used to return to the game board, but sometimes it takes the user to the previous slides, with their questions already answered, and the user must hit the back button several times to return to the game board.
  
  I used the game Jeopardy downloadable example from this site as a source of inspiration, but it is not really a quiz. In this document, the user enters no answer; Instead, the answer is presented by a rollover.
  
  So I guess the question is, can use you navigation with random question slides?

  Hi ImagineerBill and welcome to our community

  As you have seen, Captivate is not too bright allowing slides to Question which will be presented in an order any. I know this probably sounds contrary to the work of slides question how randomly. But listen to me please.

  Captivate normally moves from slide to slide in a linear way. This introduces a problem if you want to branch back to a quiz.

  The answer to your real question of ' can you branch from Random Questions ', is that you can. But you should consider how the branch will operate and how this may affect the rating.

  We see a similar problem broke out when you want to have a common slide with many links that can be launched. Often, the person is anxious as the original slide is up to, visited slide is marked somehow as having been opened. And as you have seen, this is exactly how the Jeopardy game. It works by exploiting a bug/feature/callit you want with Captivate. This is the characteristic of a blade retaining the moused State when you have a bearing on it which is associated with a box click object. Because the slide is presenting the reversal as if you were still positioning the mouse over it, it shows the destination has been visited.

  To be honest, I don't know that there is a solution for what you are looking for. Unless you could build the random slides as a series to answer in a specific order, but the random question presents until exhaust you the pool.

  See you soon... Rick

• Captivate 5 quiz - random question pool

  I use Captivat 5 quiz with 17 questions in a Question pool to be randomized, if I wan the quiz for showing 10 of the 17 questions randomly, how can be done?  Help, please!

  Hello

  You can add 20 question to your question and then go into ' Quiz > Question Slide > select at random 'Question' and type '10' in the text box.» Select your pool of the Question and it will insert 10 random questions from the question pool you have created.

• 6 - Random question slides after restarting lesson of Captivate

  Hi all

  We have a project that includes several random Question slides.  After the failure, we restart the project again.  When the learner reach the Quiz, they are presented with the same questions. Is there a way to force the randomisations again?

  TIA - Vijay

  When you say "restart the project again" Summers - you referring to the revival of the entire module, or just take the Quiz on the Quiz results slide?

  If only resume the quiz on the button on the slide of questionnaire results, all you see are the same questions.  For a chance to see different random questions, you must raise all of the module.

• Is it possible to score report for a selected set of questions in a quiz?

  Hi I am new to Captivate and SCORM. I have read the threads on the forum and the blog Lilybirl and learned a lot in the last days. I wish someone could help me with this too:

  We hope to develop a course in a single captivate project that allows the following functions:

  • There are several pre-test and post-test. The scores of each of the preliminary tests will be used to effect branching. See, if we take 1 pre-test and passes, then it will go to the conference 2. otherwise returns to give lectures 1;  If one takes 2 pre-test and past then, then she will go to statement No. 3; otherwise, go back to the 2 conference; same thing for the pretest 3, 4, 5...  Now, I know I can use a custom variable to carry out this part. I can create a varaible user as pretest_score and set it as the 0 at the beginning of each test; Let him do the math all what the learner answers a question slide. Then at the end of each test, jump at the base on the value of the pretest_score. So for the post-test, the pretest_score will be set as 0 once again, and the culculation will start from 0. It will also generate a report page personalized report on each pre-test and post-test scores.
  • However, we want to be able to pass only the final score on the post-test of the LMS. Since I read that most of the quiz variables is read-only. Is there a way I can get around this? Is there something in the package SCORM that I can change the variable I created for that I can pass the value of the variable from the LMS?

  Any suggestions would be very helpful.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I do not describe it in blog posts, but you could also set the scores from the pre-test to 0 question slides and follow these scores with a user variables and advanced actions. In this way the total score will be only the scores of the final test, where you attach notes to those question slides. Only one bad thing: the total number of questions will have questions included, same with the number used in the progress indicator. You will need to avoid showing those numbers to the user, but if you can live with that, might be easier to create custom question slides.

• Random questions

  Can you do a question randomized after that it was created as a regular matter?

  I mean that the entire purpose of the pools in question must deliver random questions.  As long as you have more than one question in a question pool, it will never deliver random questions.

  So by moving the questions in a pool, you do not change the operation of the pool. You simply configure these questions to be available for selection when any slide question randomized in your project is set to shoot this pool questions.

  If you have a question randomized into your project slide, to shoot a question to the group, he will choose one of the questions in this pool to display.  If there is another question randomized in the same quiz put slide out of a pool, he will choose another question.  Captivate will not repeat the same question.

• Convert to the Question pool random questions?

  We update a course, we developed the year last (before Captivate 3). This year we want to apply 'Question pool random questions' Captivate 3 in this course. Is there a way to create the pool of question (s) in this existing quiz, and then add the year issues last to them without entering again each question in the Question Pool Manager?
  
  Thanks for the tips!

  Hi Jan

  Sure thing. Simply convert the project from version 1 or 2 at a draft of version 3. Then set a Question Pool. Once you have done that, switch to the storyboard table display. Select the question slides you want to add to the pool and right-click. You should be presented with an option to add the slide selected in the pool.

  Once you have moved the question to a pool slides, you would then insert slides of Random pointing to the pool.

• Achievement reading random/random with a custom (blank) microSD (SlotRadio Player)

  I apologize in advance for asking a noob for my first post question. I read in some other nets and impossible to find exactly what I was looking for and thought I'd post on the device-specific Board.

  I bought an ativa 2 GB microSD card to load some of my own music (would have bought a SanDisk card, but none in the store) and used the adapter to connect it to my computer and drag and drop files directly on the map.

  I created 5 test records that on the display of the SlotRadio Player, appear as 7 playlists on a preloaded SlotRadio card (1 000 - song). I can navigate through folders to test using the buttons to the left and to the right of the display screen, and the names of file/songs appear in the same format as the playlists/songs of preloaded maps.

  However, then the SlotRadio Player seems to play maps preloaded in random shuffle (my preference as well) and the curls after having exhausted all the titles on any given playlist (to keep the atmosphere going), the player will not play my card microSD personally responsible in this way. He will play in the existing order and go to the following folder on the card after have played all titles in the current folder.

  Y at - it no coding I can add to an existing file again on the map to read random/random initiate and loops?

  The firmware on my SlotRadio Player is 01.01.13A (not the most common, but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what I described above).

  I use WMP to organize my music and first tried to sync to the microSD with this software, but opted for drag - move after realizing the SlotRadio Player treats each file (artist, Album, etc.) as a "reading list". (The same barrier to reading random/random, I ran using a cheapy 1 GB mp3 player in the past.)

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to check this.

  KC

  what you see is by design of the player. In reality, there is no shuffle mode this player. When you use slotradio cards it may seem to play in a random order, but it actually isn't. There are 3 different playlists ordained to each playlist on the map the songs don't play in the same order. Unfortunately, you will not be able to play your personal music randomly as the player it self does not support random playback.

• The title of the TOC for the random question slides

  I want to create a quiz that randomly pulls a pool of questions.  I think I know how to do that (rightly), but when I do, the table of contents is only show (title "Slide") the name/title of the question slide to chance itself, which is not really give any useful information.  I wonder if there is a way to show rather the title of the question which is selected (and present) of the random question slide.  This, in my opinion, would be much more useful to users taking the quiz.  Is there a known way to get there?  Thank you!

  

  Project files cannot be attached to these messages in the forum.

  Lilybiri has already answered your question.  The table of contents only shows the name of the random Question slide and can't give you the name of the slide of the random quiz question slide that is picked up from the Question pool when running dynamically.

  Essentially the Random Question slide is just a placeholder.

  However, I think that your idea of being able to have the selected slide display its name in the table of contents if you wish has some merit.  Then I suggest that you connect to an enhancement with Adobe for this request.  You never know...

• Questions and the Quiz Question box misalignment Cap 7

  I work in the latest version of Captivate 7.0.1) subscription version and added a question true/false quiz at the course. The inserted question aligns the selection 'box' (circle) correctly for the first response, but not for the second. This is true for the multiple choice questions as well.

  The master looks very good, there is no extra space in the text of the question (it occurs without the addition of content), there is no way to close the gap of space. If I move the text, the misaligned selection box moves with it and keeps the difference.

  I imported a question of another master, and it works very well, so I have a workaround, but I would like an answer to what is the cause, so I don't inadvertently re-create the problem if it's my fault. And if it's a bug, then Adobe should jump on this one.

• Pre-test: random question bypass

  Hello

  We were asked to do pre for a course, but with random questions to stop collusion

  Is there a work around?

  Renovator rgds

  Is not possible out of the box with the functionality of pre-test now available. In previous versions, I used question slides custom for this questions that I created using standard objects, where the score has not added to the total of the Quiz but stored in a user variable. But you have no question randomly either, so no possible. Don't see a workaround solution, unless you do not have to report to an LMS. Any questions at random, you have to use the normal question slides. It is possible to keep the score of the 'test' in a separate user variable, making decisions as branching based on this variable, create a slide of score as well for the pre-test and test but what a statement to an LMS that all quiz slides will be considered part of a Quiz and the score will be the total of all the slides in quiz score.

• Randomization of questions for each quiz attempt

  Hello

  In my project, I want to give learners 10 questions, each question from a separate pool. I put the quiz of endless attempts and a passing grade. If the learner does not pass the quiz and needs to regain power, I want the project again to shoot random question pools and generate another round of questions (some of them the same, which is not serious for this project will be probably).

  My problem is that I can't work on how to generate a set of questions on each attempt. the same set is always presented. Trying to understand this point and not being not able to find a native function for this or even any discussion about it any where, my secondary question is... I'm out on a pedagogical branch want to do this? (I'm trying to strengthen learning in repasting the relevant content in the correct/incorrect legends).

  If anyone has any ideas on one, I would appreciate it.

  Joe

  Adobe was of the opinion (which in fact, I agree with this time) If you have submitted a set of questions to a user, then they should be able to master these specific issues, before you take another series at home.  Even if the new set would look at similar knowledge.

  So, you will find that you can only draw a new random selection from the pool AFTER relaunch the lesson module.  It's just the way it works.

  If you want to see work differently, you can join the list of other people who have asked this question even in the last years and sign a request for improvement.

• Scrolling text defaulting to white on white in question slides matching Quiz

  Hello

  The scrolling text is defaulting to white text in my question slides corresponding Quiz.  I want any other text on the screen to be white (because I have a dark background), but I need the scrolling text (i.e. A, B, C, D) to be black, so that it appears in the little white boxes.  For now, it looks like my drop-down list is empty.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Barb

  The text in the menu dropdown inherits the color that you assign to the corresponding answers.  You cannot currently control menu text dropdown formatting independent response text captions.  It is obvious that Adobe is on all those who use corresponding questions on a black background when they designed this special relationship.

  I agree that it would be a good improvement to have the ability to format the text of the control and the background regardless of the other text.  You must connect to this an enhancement request.

  In the meantime, you have several choices:

  • Do not use a black background for this question.
  • Use a black background, but place a rectangle of light behind the answers so that you can set the text is dark again.  If you apply a little creativity, you can even find that doing it this way will look more attractive.
  • Use a different type of drag and drop matching quiz question.  Discover for example Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget. (Free trial download here).  Because it uses objects from the screen as captions and areas of highlight for interactivity, it doesn't matter what background color you use.

• Randomized Questions Quiz in CP7: "back" button turns on

  I checked my on input and output fields. Don't know why, but the back of my random quiz question buttons to proceed. Very strange. Is there a setting that I need to check?

  It is worth noting that the back button is clearly not the forward button... enabled in properties.

  Also, I have need of the student to reanswer this question until he succeeds, while the question remains answered.

  Who sets turning (excluding the current branch). Beyond strange...

• Quiz question: why Captivate address most of my slides as quiz questions?  Captivate 5.5

  I have a project that includes two interactive simulations and a short questionnaire in the middle.  The project includes most of my question slides slides, so I am unable to get accurate results.  I can not even the page of results to follow the slides in question, because it deals a much later blade as the "final question".  I looked all around the property, but found nothing.  Can I make a link to the files separate quiz in order to get the questions to calculate correctly?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I use Cp 5.5

  Hello and welcome to the forum,

  Not only the question slides can be marked but also all the interactive objects (click boxes, buttons, TEB) that you probably have in your simulations.

  Check the advanced Panel (F9) Interaction where you will find a summary of all the marked objects. You will need to delete the partitions and add it to the total (and reports). This can be done in the Panel itself, but it is dynamically linked to the properties pane. If you select an object with a score in the Interaction Panel, its properties will be displayed. Go to the accordion of Reporting.
