I’m facing difficulties in the area of custom quizzing. I want to ask the learner mc questions, where the answer options are images (or image-filled shapes). The possible solutions I’ve found so far do work, but are not satisfying in specific ways. Thankful for helpful ideas and input.
Hello there!
I’m facing difficulties in the area of custom quizzing.
First things first, the reason I’m not using the inbuilt quizzing slides is, that I want to ask the learner mc questions, where the answer options are images (or image-filled shapes for that matter). So my goal is to have a couple of questions, normal mc, mc with image answer options, true/false questions. Ideally, I would be able to use some (costumized but) inbuilt question slides plus fully costum ones.
So I created a slide with 4 of said image answer-options. Let’s say, the answer is correctly answered when 3 of the 4 answer options are selected. In order to use this slide with standard quiz reporting, as far as I see it, I would have to put a button on the slide that by clicking/”on success” checks via advanced actions if the answer is correct. Based on the outcome I would then have to display a further button. So one of two buttons would be shown, either one for the correct answer or a different one for incorrect answer. The button that is shown based on a correct answer would by clicking/”on success” take the learner to the next slide and is including in the quiz. The button for when the answer was not correct would take the learner to the next slide an not be included in the quiz.
So far so good, but there are two problems in this for me:
Firstly, it bothers me, that I need the learner to click on two buttons – one to check for correctness and one to continue/and to be included in the quiz. I do not want to display a “Correct”, “Incomplete” or other kind of message, so really from the viewpoint of the learner, it would be clicking a button and then clicking another button.
Secondly, to be able to add different points based on the “extent of correctness” (e. g. 2 points if any one of four answer options are correctly selected/not selected, 4 points if any two,…), that would make an unmanagable amount of depending buttons and advanced actions.
So I was thinking of not using any inbuilt quizzing features at all, also not the prebuilt variables. That would make life easier BUT I doubt that the reporting to an LMS would be walk through the park then. Ideally I would be able to directly, manually via advanced actions add points to the cpInfoQuiz… total score variable, o that I can also use inbuilt question slides in the mix. Please, is there a way to do that?
I am also open to other suggestions. What I do not want to read in the answers though is something like “Why don’t you just display a correct/incorrect message to the learner, because pedagogy”. I do not want to display these kinds of messages. For any other helpful thoughts or input I will be very thankful!
Best regards,

I am creating a branching quiz which has the scoring on the next button when a user selects the right answer however if they select the wrong answer, I do not know how to get this to reflect in the scoring. I have actually been dealing with Adobe Captivate who have said I must just use a normal question slide, however I want to create a custom quiz which seems possible, I am just missing the know how on how to reflect the incorrect selections.
Currently the scoring shows the amount if correct questions only so 5 out of 5, when in fact there are 7 questions
Please help!
I actually now came up with a solution by myself, so that the custom image-mc question is included in the quiz, using only system quizzing variables and only requires the learner to click one button after selecting the mc answer options. It only distinguishes right and wrong though, no partial scoring (so far, still working on that).
What I did is the following:
I created variables for each of the four answer options. By clicking on one of the answers 1) the state of that button changes 2) the associated variable is assigned with 0 or 1 for unselected or selected. In a second tab of the same action I built a conditional action that if all 4 variables associated with the answer options are correctly selected/unselected would show a continue button (that is included in the quiz) or else a different continue button, that is not included in the quiz. This I did for all 4 answer-option-buttons, so each of them has their own advanced action with the two tabs. Works perfectly fine.
Two issues arise though with all of my costum quizzing slides: The prebuilt quiz review doesn’t work. Any ideas on that topic?
Have you looked into Paul Wilson? He has a lot of Youtube videos. He has one on creating custom quiz slide using fluid boxes. You do have to have a “submit” button and then a “correct” and “incorrect answer” button and you attach the points to the “correct” answer. I believe there is a charge for that one but it is worth the money!
Hello there and thanks for your reply! That actually sounds exactly like the video I’ve watched on that topic, it definitly was by Paul Wilson. It for sure is a workflow that does what it’s supposed to, but unfortunately it requires said two buttons.
Workflow taken over from my old blog post (written 7 years ago) without any reference. Typical for new ethics! You can find a lot like that.
