    Why is my results slide blank when branch aware selected?

      Hi All.

       

      I'm hoping that someone can help me.

       

      I've created a relatively simple e-Learning course using Captivate 7, that has the following  structure:

      Part One Learning, Part One Assessment

      Part Two Learning, Part Two Assessment

      Part Three Learning, Part Three Assessment

       

      Within each of the short assessments there are two alternatives to each question (so the learner has two chances to get a question right). So learner is presented with Q1, if they get that wrong they are presented with Q1b if they get it right they jump straight to slide Q2.

       

      The module was set to 'branch aware' so that the results slide displays the correct percentages and ascertains if the learners has passed/failed based on the number of questions asked.

       

      This all worked ok, but then we wanted to add some more functionality to the 'retake quiz option' which was as follows:


      - 1st attempt the learners completes Part one learning, Part one assessment, Part two learning, Part two assessment, Part three learning, part three assessment (i.e the whole module).

      If they don't get the pass mark then on the...

      - 2nd attempt the learner only gets presented with each of the assessments (nb not Part One Learning, Part Two Learning, Part Three Learning split just the question slides).

      If they don't get the pass mark then on the...

      - 3rd attempt they go through the entire module again (Part one learning, Part one assessment, Part two learning, Part two assessment, Part three learning, part three assessment).

       

      To achieve this I have set up the following advanced actions:

      - On Results slide execute the 'success script' as per the attached.

      Then on the slides immediately after the assessment questions I've added the following advanced actions on Enter to say that on the second quiz attempt go straight to the next assessment question.

      The problem is that after adding these scripts then the results screen is blank.

       

      I have set up the same advanced actions on a different project and it works fine, but that didn't need to have branch aware checked so I'm wondering if that is the root of the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

       

      Can anyone help identify where I may have gone wrong?

       

      Many thanks

          Captivate only really allows you to have one quiz per module.  So breaking up your project file into sections doesn't change that as far as Captivate is concerned.  You can create your own 'faux' Quiz Results slides for each section using custom variables. But the default Quiz Results slide MUST be AFTER the final scored object in the project.

           

          Branch Aware expects your user to follow the same path that they did on the initial attempt at the quiz.  It will normally only show the user those same quiz questions on their subsequent attempts during the same user session.

           

          So by circumventing the Branch Aware navigation path using Advanced Actions, I would expect that you could easily confuse Captivate and cause the Quiz Results to malfunction.

            Hi Rod


            Thanks for your reply.

             

            Just to clarify, there is only one quiz it's just split up into parts with 'learning' between questions (so there are three questions in part one, three in part two etc) and the answers to all questions answered should appear in the quiz results which is at the end of the module.

             

            I was aware that the branch aware normally only shows the user those same quiz questions on their subsequent attempts and that is fine and works as I'd expect.

             

            However if you think that the advanced actions skipping 'non question slides' might be confusing it I'll have to think of an alternative I guess.

             

            Thanks
