Add click boxes and choose different paths if users click inside the click box or outside the click
box. Click boxes have the same answer options as question slides, but can be incorporated into
existing slides instead of requiring their own slide. This enables you to add branching and
interactivity to your projects at the same time. Click boxes have other optional functionality
including stopping slide audio when clicked, pausing the project until clicked, and adding
hint, success, and failure captions.
•
Add text entry boxes and create different branches if users enter the text correctly or
incorrectly. Text entry boxes are very flexible and can be used in many creative ways. For
example, they are an excellent way to simulate data entry in an application. Because they are
placed on existing slides and do not require their own slide, they do not interrupt the flow of
the project as much as a question slide. Text entry boxes have additional options such as
password simulation (where asterisks (*) appear as the user types), adding case-sensitivity, and
including hint, success, and failure captions.
•
Add buttons and create different paths for when the user clicks the button or when they click
outside the button. Buttons are a quick way to add branching and interactivity to your projects
in a way that is comfortable for many users. You have complete control over what happens
when users click the button, such as advancing the project, jumping to a certain slide, or
opening an e-mail program. You can also design the button for your project by selecting the fill
color, text options, transparency level, and border color.
Creating question slides
Adobe Captivate lets you create state-of-the-art e-learning projects. The powerful quizzing
features make it easy to design many different types of questions such as multiple choice, short
answer, matching, true/false, likert, and fill-in-the-blank.
You have complete control over what happens when users answer questions correctly or
incorrectly. For example, you can set one action (such as "go to the next slide") when a user
supplies a correct answer, and you can set a different action (such as "Open URL or file") when a
user supplies an incorrect answer. (This is commonly called branching.)
You can measure student performance by using the reporting feature with any type of quiz. You
can track number of attempts, track correct and incorrect responses, and send pass/fail data to
your LMS. You can also create graded and survey type questions, and choose to provide students
with feedback based upon correct or incorrect responses.
You can create six different types of question slides in Adobe Captivate:
•
Fill in the blank
•
Likert
•
Matching
•
Multiple choice
•
Short answer
•
True/False
