    Question w/2 attempts then display correct answer.

    cap_newbie Community Member

      Thank you in advance for your help.

       

      I haven't used Captivate in about 4 years and have been roped into helping on a project with a very short turn around. I need to have a quiz with multiple choice questions where the user has 2 attempts to answer. If both attempts are incorrect I want to display a message giving them the correct answer and allow them to proceed. There is no failing this quiz. Also, can I have a final slide in the lesson set up as a printable certificate?

       

      Thanks again!

          For multiple choice questions Captivate allows you to set multiple attempts and up to three Failure Levels, each of which shows a different Failure caption.  You can configure the first failure caption to tell the user their answer was incorrect, and the second one can give them the correct answer so that they can use this to get the question correct on their third attempt.  You can set the number of attempts for each question to Unlimited if you want to make sure they have enough attempts to answer correctly.

           

          There is a Certificate Widget that comes with Captivate's default widget set and is supposed to allow users to print a completion certificate at the end of a module.  Some users report good results with this widget, others not so good.  Give it a try and see what you think.

            Hello,

             

            Setup for your quiz questions:

            • 2 Attempts
            • 2 Failure levels

             

            Now you will get two Incorrect captions on the slide, one for Level 1 (first attempt), one for Level 2 (second attempt). You can edit the text in both captions as you wish, so you can add the correct answer to the Level 2 Incorrect caption.

             

            As for the final slide, I believe you already did find the Certificate widget?

              Thanks a lot! I figured out the second incorrect message just after sending the earlier message. You've helped me tremendously, much appreciated!

                Thanks for the help yesterday, now I have a question about the print widget in Captivate 5. I cannot print the certificate after adding the print widget. What am I doing wrong or what else do I need t do?

                 

                Thanks.

                  One thing to check first is that you have the folder where you published to added as a trusted location in your Global Flash Security settings.  Other threads on this forum explain how to do this, or else just Google the term: Global Flash Security Settings

                   

                  You can also try uploading your published content to a web server and try testing from there.  Web servers already have the Flash Security thing sorted.
