Course elapsed time doesn't include quizmaker slides--any suggestions?

Apr 04, 2018

I'm working on a course in Articulate Studio 360 that has to be at least 2 hours. I would like the total elapsed time to include the quizmaker slides. But it doesn't. Any way to override this?

Elapsed time in Presenter depends on the length of the narration in each slide. I think that the default for slides without narration is 5 seconds.

I'd try inserting a sound file in Presenter for the quiz screen. This would be a silent sound file ... adjusted to the length that you think a learner would spend on the quiz. It would not represent the actual time the learner spends in the quiz, but you could set a reasonable "minimum."

I do not think it would. The audio in Quizmaker is embedded IN Quizmaker, not Presenter. I think that both audio streams would play at the same time -- but since one is nothing but silence, then you'd only hear the audio from Quizmaker.

Some time ago, I inadvertently laid in an audio track in Presenter for an Engage screen which was also narrated. Both tracks played simultaneously. I think Quizmaker would act the same way.
