Random question blocked
(1)

I have a slide with a video and at the end of the video go to the slide where there is a random question from a pool of three questions.

If the student submit the rigth question continue to the next slide and i don’t have no problem but if he failed question jump to previous slide and when return on the random question, the question is the same to the last attempt and is not random. I would that the question will be random from the pool of questions.

I’m using (cp.resetQuizData()) a script in Advanced Action to restart data to make interactive the question at the next attmept.

How can i resolve this?

This is the way Captivate’s question pools and random questions are working.

When launching a Captivate session, the random questions are taken from the question pools and they will remain the same during the session. I really recommend to prefer the Retake button on the results slide, over a JS solution which can lead to problems in some situations.

If you really want another question when retaking a new attempt on quiz level, you have two possible choices:

  1. Close the session and restart a new session, to use the inbuilt Retake and Random question functionality. You probably will get another random question.
  2. Set up a custom solution, without using the question pools but by creating custom navigation and the Math.random function in a JS command.
