[TBK] Randomizing question

[Somoza, Darrel R]

I know I can test this but I was hoping for a possible quick answer (okay, I’m being lazy).

 

I have a practice lesson that has 72 definitions in an index card format. I set it up so that the definitions are presented randomly. If I set the lesson up to suspend on exit so that the learners progress is bookmarked will any of the completed definitions repeat? In other words does the bookmarking track what randomized definitions (questions) were completed and not duplicate them upon return?

Darrel,

I really think that will depend on how the randomization was accomplished. My bet is that it won't preserve the randomization on returning to the lesson.

Perhaps you can describe to us how you implemented the randomization.

[Singer, Ricky]

Darrel,

 

I have confirmed that this is indeed working by using the Quiz Randomization feature of Toolbook.  Each of the 72 question bank pages contains a single question.  The order in which the question pages are presented to the learner is random and upon resuming the lesson, only the remaining question pages are presented without any of the completed definitions repeating.

This means that your file was marked as read only when you opened it. Trying to save it throws the error message. To fix this, remove the read only attribute in the file properties for the tbk and then you should be able to save it.

Little comment on this:

I think if a page is marked as visited, this will be flagged as such in 
the suspend data. Therefore, it doesn't really matter how randomization 
is done as long as your randomization method takes into account that 
some quiz pages are already visited from a previous session.

We have a 74 page book, 72 of which have one index card fill-in question per page. All 72 question pages are grouped together. Under Properties for Lesson we enabled quiz randomization and selected 72 pages to display.

It works perfectly. We've tested it quite a bit and it has kept track of what has already been completed and upon return continues on with randomizing what is left. Great feature.

Check the read-only attribute is not there.
The alert is when the program is saved.
The script that I put to save is as follows:

get setFileAttributes(name of this book,null)
save changes to this book

Whatever the case, ToolBook throws these errors when it cannot write the file to the device, drive, or folder. So there may a few other issues to check. There may even be a Windows permissions issue.

So, you are trying to clear the file attributes of the book you are current in?

If you are in Windows 7, the file will be locked by the OS if you have a folder open and the file is selected (as last clicked with the mouse).
This condition would be true if you opened the file by double-clicking it, or pressing Return while it is selected, in a folder.
The reason this happens is that the OS tries to preview the file in the right-side panel.

Often, this is a nuisance while editing PDF files.
The solution is merely to click once on a different file in the folder. The Preview feature then 'locks' the different file and frees the file you wish to edit.
If you tried a few times (more than once) to edit the locked file, you may find that the trick will not work until you close down and restart the programs claiming access to the opened file.
Some allocations get confused - at least for legacy programs.

Best wishes,

Daniel

I do not think it's the fault of the script, but Windows 7.
Sometimes it happens when I open a program I'm working on, and after a few
minutes it saved, except when I get the error.

So I think it is a problem in Windows 7.

The reflection of Daniel is possible.

Daniel,

your reflection holds.

But the user does not understand that needs to use this system, so we should
introduce a few lines of script at the beginning of the book, in order to save
it with another name and save it again with the old.

But how to set up the script?

Hello,

can someone explain this error that appeared to me?

ToolBook has stopped working

Windows has encountered a problem that prevents proper operation of the program.
If a solution is available, it will close the program and notify you
automatically.

There are two buttons: Debug - Close the program

I closed the program and reopened. But it reappears when I do the same action.

And 'because of TB or Windows?

[Knapek Miroslav]

Hello Carlo,

could you give us more information?
Native ot DHTML aplication?
What operating system?
What internet explorer?
What version of ToolBook?
...

Best regards
Miroslav
