Lectora Assessment

Hi everyone,

I have few questions related to course assessment:

1) How can I set a maximum of 2 attempts for user to take an assessment?

2) If user fails the assessment with score less than 75%, I don't want to show the answers to all questions. However, if user pass the assessment and scored more than 75%, all answers will be displayed at the end.

Is the above possible using variables in Lectora? Appreciate your help/suggestions on this.

For the first question, try setting up a variable that adds one each time the assessment is completed. For example, on the submit button for the assessment, you can try something like this:

on mouse click -> modify variable "var_name" add to variable "1" (var_name starts with a value of 0)

On the first page of the assessment, put an On Show action

on show -undefined2

You will need to make a page (max attempts reached) or have somewhere to direct the learner to if they do attempt to access the assessment after completing it twice. What this will do is count how many times they finish the text and, if they try to load the first page of the text after reaching the max attempts allowed, they will be redirected from the quiz page.

For question 2, do you want those who pass to see all the questions/answers and those who do not pass to just see the questions? Or just the ones they got wrong?

Hi Erica Hunter,

Thank you so much for your reply! I'll add the suggested method for the first question that I've posted and will update you of the outcome.

For the second question, if user:

1) passed the assessment (either first or second attempt) - score >75%, all answers to the questions will be displayed before printing the certificate.

2) failed the assessment - score <75%, I don't want to display the answers to the question. But, I want to show them the answers only when user has passed the assessment with score above 75%. Users are given only 2 attempts to retake the assessment. (does this makes sense? I want to give limitation of 2 times to user to redo the assessment if they failed the first time)

Not sure if this can be done using the latest Lectora. As I know, Lectora will automatically compute the scores for us and display all the answers to correct and incorrect questions.

A test can always have only one setting for the results display, either results with questions and answers or "Only show score in results". For a non-randomized test you can use a workaround with copies of your test. I've shared an example how that can be done:

You can always build your own results page and choose what to show in dependance of the score a user has achieved.

Hi Tim K,

Thank you so much for your help! I agree with you. Lectora allows me either to show the answers to questions or not to show the answers. I can definitely create a separate result page and direct the user to that page based on their scores. Thanks again for the great idea!

I'm sorry to jump into someone else's question but for the life of me I can't figure out how to post a new question/topic.

For an assessment, our client wants us to program it so that if a student fails the first time they take the exam they only have to answer the questions they answered incorrectly when they try the assessment a second time.

Does anyone know how we can program this?
