Published Quizzes Change Quiz Properties

Oct 19, 2011

This is maddening.  Please help.    I have two quizzes in a module and when I publish to AO the quiz properties of the second quiz change.   I am stuck.  I have tried to remove and add the quiz back but have the same result.  Any ideas!

Hi Art. What specifically do you mean by the quiz properties are changing? have you deleted the presentation from AO and then try removing the quiz and reinserting and reuploading your presentation? Is your presentation located on your local drive and not a network drive? Working on a network drive can cause erratic behavior.

Well.  If I sent the Quiz Properties to

                                                            i.      When user passes, ‘Finish’ button: goes to final slide

                                                           ii.      When user fails, ‘Finish’ button: goes to ‘Quiz Time’ slide

                                                            iii.      Allow user to leave quiz: at any time

                                                           iv.      User may view slides after quiz: after passing the quiz

                                                             v.      User may attempt the quiz: unlimited times

Once I publish to AO, the settings in the module change to:

                                         i.      When user passes, ‘Finish’ button: 

                                                           ii.      When user fails, ‘Finish’ button: goes to ‘Quiz Time’ slide

                                                            iii.      Allow user to leave quiz: at any time

                                                           iv.      User may view slides after quiz: at any time

                                                             v.      User may attempt the quiz: unlimited times

So, the end result is that the published quiz does not behave as I want it to.

Hi Art,

I see that Sid actually just responded to you via your case. Can you let me know if that works for you? Here was his response:

You may find that the quiz property "User may view slides after quiz" unexpectedly reverts to its default setting of "At any time" in the following scenarios:

*  You start to publish a presentation, and then you cancel the publishing process before it has completed.

*  You go to Articulate > Publish > Articulate Online > Reporting and Tracking > click the OK button.

This is a known issue.  You can correct it by following this procedure:

1)  Go to Articulate > Publish.

2)  Select either Articulate Online or LMS.

3)  Click the Reporting and Tracking button.

4)  (If publishing for LMS, select the Tracking tab.)  Set the tracking options as desired, and click the OK button.

5)  Click the Cancel button to close the publishing wizard without actually publishing your presentation.

6)  Configure the quiz properties

(http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/?p=19) for your embedded

quiz(zes) as desired.

7)  Then publish your presentation, but ***do not click the Reporting and Tracking button during the publishing process***.
