Chapter 12: Creating a Quiz
You can create a quiz to assess the user’s understanding of the demonstrated feature. Adobe Captivate provides a wide
variety of question slides that you can incorporate into your quiz. You can keep your quiz unpredictable by picking
questions from a question pool, or by shuffling the answers for a question every time the slide is displayed. You can
extend the variety of question slides available in Adobe Captivate by creating question widget slides in Adobe Flash,
and inserting them into Adobe Captivate projects.
Preferences
Set quiz preferences
You can configure a general set of preferences that is applied to all the question slides in a project.
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Captivate > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 In the Preferences dialog box, select Settings from the Quiz menu.
3 Enter information in the following fields:
Name Enter a name for your quiz. In a project with more than one quiz, naming helps identify a quiz easily.
Required Select one of the following options from the menu:
• Optional – The User Can Skip This Quiz Allows users to skip the quiz and move on with the project.
• Required – The User Must Take The Quiz To Continue The project moves to the next slide only after the user has
moved through all the question slides.
• Pass Required – The User Must Pass This Quiz To Continue The project moves to the next slide only after the
user has scored the required points in the quiz.
• Answer All – The User Must Answer Every Question To Continue The project moves to the next slide only after
the user has answered all the question slides.
Objective ID The ID of the quiz to which the question slide belongs. In a master quiz containing multiple quizzes,
an objective ID helps identify the quiz to which the question belongs.
Interaction ID Prefix Every action that the user performs on a question slide is assigned a unique interaction ID.
For example, when the user attempts a question incorrectly the first time, and gets it right the next time round,
Adobe Captivate generates two interaction IDs. Use this field if you want to customize the generated interaction
IDs by prefixing them with the assigned characters.
Shuffle Answers For question slides with multiple answers, the answers are shuffled when the user attempts the
same question slide the next time.
Show Progress
Select this option to show users which question number they are currently working on within the quiz.
Allow Backward Movement The user can visit the slides that were attempted previously.
