@michael there's no easy solution that i'm aware of. i suggest posting your question(s) to the elearning and technology google group, as more people will see it and possibly be able to give feedback.

Philip,

This is probably really lazy of me to ask, but we are having issues with Captivate quizzes in our lms – SCORM 1.2. Our compliance folks want people to be able to start a quiz, stop and resume, and for the course to pick up scoring where they left off.

Currently bookmarking works fine, taking you to where you left off. But the course doesn’t remember that you have already answered the first 5 questions correctly. So the course marks you as incomplete…

Do you know if anyone has a solution for this? Maybe pulling the previous score on re-launch and adding it to the current score on post? It doesn’t look like you could update the cpQuizInfoPointsscored directly because it is info only… But like you have said elsewhere maybe in JS or HTML wrapper?

Anyhow, just wondering if anyone has an easy solution.

@kathir you'd have to find the variables in the nested movieclips using actionscript. it's hard because you have to know exactly where to look. you'd probably need to write a widget to get that level of access, or else use the old embedded SWF technique.

@kathir not that i’m aware of. it’s probably possible to extract the data, but i don’t think there are any easy-to-use Captivate variables that provide the information.
