Retake quiz on pass?
etm1000
I work in language learning, and have been striving to make Captivate (along with other Adobe products) a viable tool for language educators to create their own interactive language learning tools. The bulk of "e-learning" made with authoring tools such as Captivate seems to be training.  This is typically approached in a purely didactic manner: the learner is supposed to "learn" some piece of information. Language acquisition, on the other hand, is something different. It is not about learning facts, but rather acquiring functional skills. And this happens by way of interaction, rather than memorizing data points. In other words, the interaction itself is how humans acquire language ability. Normally this is a social process, which happens among people in "live" contexts. I want to see how well Captivate serves as an authoring tools for supporting such learning online.

Is it possible in Captivate (with either new or Classic, but preferably new), to allow users to retake a quiz when they pass it?

I’ve been trying to do this, setting the results slide to allow multiple attempts, and showing the retake button. But when the user passes, it only allows the user to review their answers. They can’t take the quiz again, or change their answers.

(However, if they fail the quiz they can retake, so I know it’s working in that regard.)

How can I allow the user to retake a quiz when they pass it?

Thank you for the answer. I’d feared as much.

It seems, then, that the design of the software itself belies a narrow-minded and backward approach to learning. It presumes that the sole objective of the learner is merely to pass the assessment itself, rather than to learn. Many learners want to re-test themselves even when they pass, because they would like to understand the points didn’t get correctly, albeit it with a passing score. It’s very common.

Can the developers of Captivate honestly say that it would be such a huge change to alter the javascript “cp.resetQuizData()”  so that it functions also when the quiz has been passed?  Or to allow a separate javascript to accompish that?

Yes, I’ll put this to them directly in “Help>Provide Feedback.” I can’t believe Captivate has been around this long and they haven’t made this possible.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

In Adobe Captivate, the users do not have an option to retake a quiz after passing it. It is designed to allow users to reattempt a quiz only if they fail. Once a user achieves a passing score, the option to retake the quiz is disabled by design.

We hope this information addresses your query. We also encourage you to submit your valuable feedback and suggestions directly in Captivate via Help->Provide Feedback. You may also contact the technical support team directly via phone (+1-800-833-6687) or chat (https://www.adobe.com/getsupport) for assistance.

Here to help,

Adobe Captivate Support
