Linking Customized Feedback Screens for Each Option in Multiple Choice Questions

Sometimes when we are creating quizzes, we come across requirements like linking a remedial screen to the question screens, or branch out the course based on learner’s response. In such cases, we need a solution where based on the option selected on a multiple choice question, the learner is directed to a customized feedback screen.

This is possible by using Advanced Actions. Ah! Not comfortable using Advanced Actions? Don’t worry. You can do this easily using the Advanced Answer Option for multiple choice questions.

Here’s an example of a question screen linked with customized feedback screens… Take a look.

And here’s a demo on how to link customized feedback screens for a multiple choice question.

Let me know if you found this post useful or have any questions by leaving a comment on this post.

Happy Captivating! :)

    Can you access the Review Quiz? Our requirement is to allow the user to review their quiz and, if needed, click to review the content related to that quiz if they miss the answer. I thought to put a button on the review quiz slide to jump to that slide, but I can’t find a way to edit the review quiz. I don’t see it on my film strip.

    This is great but I don’t seem to be able to reproduce the ability to return to the question slide. I’d really appreciate a hint (I bet it’s easy). I am using CP5.0.

      Include a button or a click box on the page and set the action as Jump to the question slide.

        Dr. Pooja, I’m having the same issue as Jimmy (above), except I’m a 5.0 user.

        Here are my question settings: On Success: Continue, 4 attempts, no retry message, 1 Failure level, Last attempt jumps to the slide containing the next quiz question.

        When I answer the question incorrectly, I’m branched to my feedback screen and click the Back button. But as Jimmy is saying, the quiz is locked. I can see what I answered and the correct answer, but I can’t retake the quiz question. What do I need to do so that the user can return to the question and re-answer it (without seeing the correct answer or their initial incorrect answer)?

          The problem I was having was that I was using the advanced answer options and shuffling the answers. Pooja shared with me that these do not both work. As soon as I disabled the shuffle answers, my problem was solved. If you are also trying to do both things, that might be the issue for you too.

          Hi,

          Let me know if it still doesn’t work…

  • Jimmy lang

    So I am using this is CS 5.5 and I am able to return to the quiz slide but then the question slide seems locked up. I have set the attempts to infinite.

    My goal is that when users make incorrect choices, they get feedback and then have another attempt at the question.

    Great. I was not aware of this simple trick and was trying to use one advanced conditions only for the whole quiz. I had the same issue as the others as to allow multiple attempts and currently haven’t found a way to fix that. I can try twice but not more! Failure level: None or 1, doesn’t change anything. Captivate 5.5. Will keep searching…

  • Noixcoco

    I found it! Set failure level to the maximum of your answers and just delete the incorrect caption content.
