Digital Workshop

Hi, I have designed a set of assessment questions in Opus Pro 6, at the end of the assessment the last page next question button goes to a score page which works fine (I did not use the question wizard).

However, I now need to randomise the questions, I have used the <next random> action in the goto page options, which works fine, on completion it goes back to the first page. Can anyone help with how do I now display the score page after all of the questions have been answered?

Bob,

I hope others here who have developed 'learning' pubs will reply with their experience.

Meanwhile, a basic approach would be to set up a couple Publication-level variables. The main one would be a QuestionCounter. Then whenever returning to that First page, have an action that checks if that Count is complete (eg, 12 done out of 12). Then go to your results page.

(for that first page, an OnShow() trigger is an easy way to test the counter variable. Of course when each Question is answered you need to increment the Counter variable as well as tally scores.)

You will find some other ideas, and example pubs (be logged in), if you do a search here on 'random' and 'quiz' etc.

Good luck.

Bob,
What I've used:

I have 3 Chapter:
1) Chapter one, the program opens when started
2) Chapter two, has 1 "start quiz and 100 "quizzes" page with questions
3) Chapter three, displays with the score results


I create the following variables:
<GOTO_PAGE>
<QUESTIONS_ANSWERED>
<TOTAL_NUMBER_QUESTIONS> = enter the number of questions you want answered

Chapter 1
a "Start" page with a link to the a "start quiz' page in the "Quiz" chapter

add 1 <GOTO_PAGE>
add 1 <QUESTIONS_ANSWERED>
<TOTAL_NUMBER_QUESTIONS> = enter the number of questions you want (I used 20)


Chapter: "Quiz"
In this chapter I have a start page along with 100 pages that have various questions. I use the next random page action to go to the next page, BUT only if the variable <GOTO_PAGE> is less than 20. It if equals 21 then the user is taken to the "score" page in a separate Chapter called "Score Results."

Page: "start quiz"
I have a start the quiz "Button" on this page with the following actions"

set var <GOTO_PAGE> = 0 (just to make sure var is at 0)
add 1 <GOTO_PAGE>
add 1 <QUESTIONS_ANSWERED>
<TOTAL_NUMBER_QUESTIONS> = enter the number of questions


I also have the following IF/Else variable
If
<STARTED>=yes) then
Go to Page<Next Random>
Else
Go to Page <Random>
set the variable <STARTED>=yes

On the "next random or random" quiz page :
After the users selects their answer I show a hidden button with the following actions:
Add 1 to <GOTO_PAGE> variable
Add 1 to <QUESTIONS_ANSWERED> variable

On this page I use the following If/Else
If
(GOTO_PAGE = 21) then
Go to Page "score"
Else
Go to Page <Next Random>

So the user continues to go to the next random page until the variable <GOTO_PAGE> equals 21 at which time they are taken to the score page.

Chapter: Score Results:
show the user their score

I've attached a picture showing the button actions on the quiz start page and the one used on the pages with the questions.

Hope this helps.

Lar_123 & Leo, thanks for your replies, not sure I fully understand the variables (just starting with them!).
Leo, I to have used three chapters, intro, quiz and score, so I will see if I can get your example to work.

Thank again for your help.

Bob Jones

Leo,

Great, I have used part of your example and it works fine.

It has also opened up greater possibilites of what I can do with Opus.


Thanks again

Bob Jones
