    5 Seperate Quiz Pools selected

    Rikapple Community Member

      Hi

       

      I am very new to Captivate 8 having spent many years using Articulate. I am trying to complete what I thought was a very simple task, but sadly after 2 hours I am begging for help.

       

      I have created 4 separate Question Pools. I wanted to have a single page where the user could select which pools would be taken. This could be 1, 2, 3, or all of the pools or any combination.

       

      I know that in Articulate I would just have 4 Check Boxes and dependant on which were selected the question pools would be accessed.

       

      I am sure the format is much the same on Captivate but I am struggling to find out how to do this?

       

      I have inserted a Click Box but I am unable to make it visible when previewed.

       

      Many thanks in advance.

       

      Regards


      Rich

          Captivate and Articulate are very different beasts.

           

          With question pools in Captivate, you create the quiz question slides and then add/move them into the Question Pools from the main project.  Then you have to insert Random Quiz slides into the main project, specifying for each random slide which pool it will draw from.  If you do not set any Random Quiz slide to draw from a particular pool, then that pool will not be used.

           

          So Captivate allows you to specify how many questions come from pools, as well as how many pools will be used, as well as have normal quiz slides that are NOT part of pools as well.

           

          As far as having a single page where the user determines which pools will be taken...You can achieve this by creating user Variables and Conditional Advanced Actions that dynamically alter the navigation so that users skip or do not visit certain quiz slides.  There's also an option in Quiz Settings called Branch Aware that you can turn on so that the Quiz Score will be based ONLY on the quiz question slides the user visits.

           

          Click Boxes are always invisible to the user.  If you want to have something that is visible and needs to be clicked as well, consider using either a Shape Button or a Transparent Button.
