Digital Workshop

Hello All,

I developed a simple, random quiz. The user answers 2 questions from a pool of 5. If both questions are answered correctly, the user scores a 100. If the user does not score a 100, he must retake the quiz, but only retake the questions he missed.

This is where it gets confusing for me. I'm kind of lost on how to approach this. I'm sure somebody knows how to do this!

Thanks!

Is the retake immediate or after the Content Package is relaunched (or both)?

Mack

Hi Mack,

The retake will have to work on both instances. I forgot to mention that, my brain was turning into mush last night!

Thanks!

This may just add to the mush.

As you want to draw from a persistent diminishing random pool, you'll need to set-up the random order beforehand. This is probably most practically achieved using a shuffled array and the quiz page names:



Then shuffle (the function is posted on this board somewhere or download it from my site.)



You then use the standard GotoPage function to traverse the array:



The zero index value 'x' gets incremented to move through the random pages. If you were just staying within the publication until the user passed, then this method would be enough (though it is possible to do something simpler with actions).

However, as you require persistence between LMS attempts, you'll need to save the array contents and index value at the end of the session and repopulate them on loading. You haven't specified LMS or SCORM version so assuming the basic, this will be cmi.suspend_data read and write. Though if your course allows, it could be done with more finesse using cmi objectives or interactions.
