This is great! Giving me some ideas to think about. How would/could you make this work for multiple choice with multiple answers? How about accessibility - would a screen reader be able to function properly using this format?
@@CaptivateTeacher What a quick response - thank you! I suspected a submit button might be required and I think I can figure it out. Accessibility on quizzes is kicking my behind - they don't always work, and that's not cool. I appreciate your videos and how you respond - you've been a lifeline to me many times.
Another great video Paul, however I was hoping to get an answer for a slide I'm doing. Do you know if it's possible to grade a text entry box? It doesn't seem to allow me to include it in the quiz although I have assigned it an advanced conditional action..
The trick with custom question slides is that you need to provide two paths away from the slide. For example you can add two different Next buttons, a correct and incorrect path. If the learner gets the answer wrong they see a next button that has no score associated with it. If they get it right you can add scoring to that next button. If you still need help with this, you can purchase an hour from my website for one-on-one instruction: bit.ly/Cp1on1
Thanks. great tutorial. Now I am wondering, how difficult would it be to have the system automatically shuffle the answers for each viewer? And if that is possible, can it also reshuffle them for the next time that the same user retakes the quiz?
I'm afraid to say that would be one heck of a customization. I'm not sure that it can't be done but these things tend to have a diminishing rate of return. You could program some Javascript to move items on slide entry and change the value of the numbered items on the left but like I said it would decrease the ability to develop this quickly.

Hi, regarding quiz creation, i would like to know if there's a feature that allows me to display the explanation of an answer (on the same slide) after a user has submitted an answer correctly. Thank you!
Adobe Captivate has default feedback captions for correct, incorrect, incomplete, etc. You can customize these to say whatever you need them to say. I often include an explanation beyond the basic message.
Hi Paul. I'm not clear where to go to find the captivate project file for this video. I don't see a link in the description area above for members. It appears you share the project files in the "Community" tab, but you can't search the community tab. So do I need to scroll through to find it? Please advise as I am not clear how to download project files for your videos as a premium member. Thank you!
Hi Todd, thanks for the support. I wish there was a better way for me to share these. I will repost the link in the community tab for this and the other item you commented on.
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing. How would you go about randomising the questions slides and/or creating a question pool from these custom question slides?
@@CaptivateTeacher Thank you for your speedy response. I thought that might be the case. How about something like... I create 3 sets of 5 questions(slides), set A,B,C for example. When the user clicks START it would randomly select set A, B or C. It's not strictly randomised but will provide the illusion that it is. Possible?
Isobel McCardie yes that’s possible. There is no random generator but there are system variables for many things. You could write an on entry advanced action for a blank slide that checks the value of one of these and then jump to the first slide of one of those sets based on if it’s true or not. Make sure that Branch Aware is turned on on your Preferences so all the skipped versions of those questions are not marked incorrect.
Isobel McCardie a system variable you could use is cpInfoCurrentMinutes which is a two digit number which is the current minute within the hour. Let’s say you had two versions of the quiz, you could check off that variable is less than 30 then go to slide XX, else jump to slide YY or something like that.
Hi Paul. Thanks again for another informative video. I wonder if it is possible to create several short quizzes in one project. It seems like Captivate keeps totaling up all of the points across the entire project if I do this.
What I do is seperate my courses into individual modules which I publish on the LMS under a single course. You can only have one quiz results slide per module.
Hi Paul, this is valuable learning for me. Thanks for this Awesom Video, Can we apply that Kind of shared action with standared MCQ (with use of Submit Buttton and Correct & Incorrect feedback)? Please share a video on this also, Thanks in advance.
Sir One thing I want to ask... I always have a question from clients that at Quiz question they want to press Submit button and then the next button will appear rather than click anywhere or press y option. is it possible to add the next button on the quiz question slide? Wasim
Hello, I finished my eLearning module and I exported it to my computer (Mac); it works perfectly well (no lag) in Firefox, but things are different in Google Chrome or Safari (delays, missing parts, etc.). I am sending a compressed file to my students and some of them have reported a number of bugs in Google Chrome on their PC. Is this something often reported? Are there interventions to resolve this problem? Does it make sense that a "simple" html file works better on a internet browser than another? best, Xavier
For troubleshooting you should reach out to Adobe. There is a link in the description of this video, or you can email them at captivatehelp@adobe.com. I will say that some features are meant to be delivered over a network and not distributed in the manner in which you describe. Best of luck getting it to work though.
I know this video is fairly old, but I still wanted to ask in case you have encountered something like this. I used this method in one of my courses but when people complete it it sometimes doesn't give that result even though people have gotten all the answers correct, and sometimes it does give the completed result, I have tried to redo the shared action from scratch but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Help! I made a quiz the same way as you, but I want to add a review mode where each question has an icon that changes the shape between correct and incorrect according to the question selection. How do I assign a variable to the right answer with V_Correct_answer equal 0/1 or something like that so that my icon changes if the right answer is selected or not?
Hi Paul, this is a great way to run a quiz. However even though I have followed your steps religiously, the Feedback_Message never changes to Congratulations when I have selected the correct answer. Is there a variable reset or something similar for cpQuizInfoPassFail?
@@CaptivateTeacher Thanks Paul, I did have a spelling mistake on one state, so it works now. I still have an issue with the variables to display the score. I have inserted them into the Feedback_Message text box as in your demo, but they do not display the scores. I appreciate I can download the project file which would probably resolve the problem, but then I wouldn't know where I went wrong. Is there something I have missed do you think?

Multiple answers would require a submit button. Accessibility should be fine if you alt text all your objects.

You cannot email results such as that from an eLearning course. You need an LMS to do that.

This is already built into Captivate. Open your Preferences window and navigate to Quizzing > General and check Allow users to review quiz.
Hi Sir I have a question... Can we use multiple custom quiz and make a pool using them... rather than using a question pool feature in captivate?
The question pool feature in Adobe Captivate is only for the in-built questions and doesn't allow you to use custom questions.
