Hello,

Does anyone have experience using the built in quiz features in Captivate 2019 to create adaptive difficulty quizzes? Ideally I’d like to ask more questions in areas where the learner is having difficulty to pinpoint the gaps in his/her understanding for follow up reteaching. The only way I’ve been able to think through how to do this would be using variables for displaying different content areas. If someone has a good use case they’ve built and would be willing to share, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,

Emily

Link to that 8 years old blog post, not much has changed about the values of the variable:

Personally I think another application like Question Mark is much more suited, because they have that type of cascading questions built in.

As for cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice,  long time ago I wrote a blog about its possibilities, reminds me that I need to refurbish that post to upgrade it to the present situation in Captivate.

cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice is a system variable that captures the currently submitted answer. You could write an advanced action per quiz question that navigates to a certain quiz question based on what answer the learner submitted. If there is the possibility of not visiting all quiz questions you would want to turn on branch aware to ensure learners are not marked incorrect for question slides that are skipped.

I believe this can be done but I would probably look at developing the logic manually such that the submit button for every question would check for the correct answer and if correct – navigate to another slide with a more difficult question.

If incorrect, continue to a slide with a question of similar difficulty. I might group them in order of difficulty like, for example, the first 10 slides are easy questions, next 10 are intermediate, and last 10 advanced.

Use a variable to track the number of easy, intermediate, or advanced questions asked.

I am unsure if Captivate has this functionality built-in. I know you can create question pools but not sure if you could randomly pull from a certain pool based on a variable .

Not sure to understand your question fully. I have created a copule of blogs about graded surveys, which were meant to show conclusions of scores to the learner. Look at my blog.
