Too many questions
December 4, 2004 12:00 AM
I have an assessment with 49 questions. So far, for ten users who have taken it, it has worked fine. However, one of the users has the assessment get stuck on question 45. A message box displays and asks him to re-enter his name (and email). When he does, all his previous answers are gone. He's tried this on two different machines with the same result. We have 20 other assessments and this user does not have any problem with those. However, I think this assessment has the most number of questions. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

There is a 4k cookie limit in the IE browser as well as a 4k limit for suspend data in AICC/SCORM. It starts overwriting the data once the limit has been reached. This will cause stored variables to be forgotten and for instance, reprompt the user for their email address.The entire question answer will be stored as the student progresses through the test. If persistent variables are used, those variables will be written to the cookie. This includes the full answer in a MC question. If the MC answers contain many characters, then the easy work-around is to make the actual answers something like (a,b,c,d) and place the answer text in a separate text block next to the choices.

How about if I split the assessment into two separate assessments, each with its own Submit/Done button? Does it count the 4k limit when you select Submit or when you exit the course?How about if I split the assessment into two separate assessments, each with its own Submit/Done button?

No, this would not work since the data is still in the same title. All of the variables are global to the entire title. If you split it into two different titles, it would work.No, this would not work since the data is still in the same title. All of the variables are global to the entire title.
