Developing a Video into an Exam using Question Slides.

You could try putting your questions into lightbox slides.

When you want to pause the video for a question, add a trigger to open that question's lightbox slide. This should pause the main video timeline, show the quiz, then feedback.

On the feedback layers of the quiz slide, add a button like "Continue" with a trigger on it to close the lightbox slide.

Once it closes, it should continue playing the video slide where it left off.

Good luck.

Hi Gunny,

Take a look at the examples linked in the E-Learning Heroes Challenge here: Interactive Video Quiz E-Learning. 

Hope that gets you going with some more ideas! 

Great examples of video quizzes. But it looks like the videos are different or they have layers with videos. From what I can tell, there is no way to have the video pause, then jump to a questions slide, then return to the video slide and start the media where it was paused when jumping to the question slide. It seems that layers or individual video clips related to the question being asked.

Thanks for your help! Please let me know if my statement above is correct.

Respectfully

What I described does work, without any major work.

The key is terminology I think. You use the word "jump" as in "jump to another slide" while I'm talking about "lightbox" which "opens a lightbox slide" over your video. The lightbox slide automatically pauses the base layer, video, animation, whatever.

See the attached file in which I just put a text box with motion path to represent the video. You'll see when you publish it and test it will reach a cue point, open lightbox with quiz, and when clicking the Continue button it restarts the timeline.

Hello Scott,

Wow, I didn't thing of a light box slide! Thanks you so much for your help! ;0)

Hi,

I just tried to hide the x on the lightbox slide by trying to cover it with an object made transparent, and it did not work. However, I think I found a work around. If you have a result slide and the learner closes the lightbox slides without answering the question, they will get a failed feedback slide on the result slide. You can prevent the Learner from advancing on the fail feedback slide by setting the next button to hidden. Add a button for them to re-take the exam. Just set the slides to reset to initial state and set the failed feedback slide to jump back to the video slide. When they re-take the test and they pass it, they will get the pass feedback slide where you can allow them to continue on by activating the next button on that pass feed back slide.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

The X that closes the lightbox slide is built-in so there isn't a way to hide or customize it. I've seen folks build layers that look like lightboxes if you're up for that! 

Also, Kenneth, I noticed that your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if you would like by clicking Edit beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

Thanks, Ms. Ashley!

Here's a quick sample of using the layers over the video approach.

The question layer properties are set to pause the base layer. I've just used a single response layer for each question, using the same feedback for correct/incorrect but using a variable to change the response header to either "Correct" or "Incorrect". Not the continue button closes the question layer and it's associated response, and returns to the base layer to play the video.

See what you think.

What if you want to grade the quiz?

You could create your own custom variables for tracking a score to present to the learner at the end, or wherever.

If you need to report a score to your LMS, you could use a bit of JavaScript code. The exact code to use would depend on what version of SCORM you are publishing to.

SCORM 2004 code

// get player
var player = GetPlayer();

// get player score from your variable
var score = player.GetVar("myScoreVariable");

// get LMS API
var lmsAPI = parent;

// set score; the first number is the score
// format = SetPointBasedScore(intScore, maxScore, intMinScore);
lmsAPI.SetPointBasedScore(score, 100, 0);

// set passed/completed
lmsAPI.SCORM2004_SetPassed();
lmsAPI.SCORM2004_SetCompleted();

SCORM 1.2

// get player
var player = GetPlayer();

// get player score from your variable
var score = player.GetVar("myScoreVariable");

//get LMS API
 var lmsAPI = parent;

 //set score; the first number is the score
 //lmsApI.SetScore(yourscore, Max score, Min score);
 lmsAPI.SetScore(score, 100, 0);

 //set status; possible values: "completed","incomplete", "failed", "passed"
 lmsApI.SetStatus("completed");

Wow, this is awesome assistance Scott! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us that want to use a video as a training tool and exam. ;0)

Hey George, this is the only way I know of making sure it will work in our LMS we are launching right now. I think you have a good idea to inform the Learner they must answer the questions and you might want to mention they cannot complete the course without answering all the questions. I don't see why they would click on the x without doing so, but you never know.

Good Luck!
