Adobe Captivate 3 and SumTotal TotalLMS 7

Hi
I published a similar topic a while ago regarding capitivate
2 and sumtotal lms publishing.
I am currently awaiting the latest version of Capitvate,
version 3, and i am in serious need to any and all documentation
regarding how to compile captivate simulations with quizes to track
for SCORM 1.2 successfully and how to publish directly from
Capitvate 3. Does Cap3 have improved publishing capabilities for
SumTotal LMS's?
When i upload the zip file compiled in Captivate the SumTotal
LMS does not regonize what the launch method should be and gives me
the following options:
AICC 2.x HACP - currently this is the only launch option that
works but it does not track at all
AICC 2.x JavaScript
Generic Document
Knowledge Document
Macromedia Authorware
Macromedia Coursebuilder
SumTotal Content API
SumTotal ToolBook
WebEx
The LMS also prompts for a launch file. I need to know what
the best launch type is , and how to configure the zip file.
I have already referenced a document from this site -
UsingCaptivat2withSumTotal_72, are there any other similar
documents regarding Captivate 3??
Please tell me Cap3 is more interoperable!!
All and any help much appreciated!

Hi,
I'm also looking for an easy way to post a Captivate 3 file
to SumTotal 7.2. As I understand the process:
First you have to set the options in the Quiz Preferences
dialog to SCORM 1.2. (Go to Quiz Preferences, select Enable
Reporting, click the Manifest button and select SCORM 1.2 from the
Version drop-down box.)
Then when you publish the file you select Zip files as the
output option.
The next part is tricky. SumTotal requires some extra text in
the manifest file and will not upload the file without it. You need
to open the manifest file, (copy the file and edit it out of the
zip file and then paste it back) and add the attached code. It has
to be written perfectly without any extra spaces. I am having
trouble with this, even using Dreamweaver to edit the XML in the
manifest file. My question is does anyone know how to do this
easily? And/or does anyone have a manifest file with this code in
it that they can share? I'm sure it would help a lot of people.
By the way, there is more information about SumTotal's SCORM
API on their CPC website. If you want to contact me, I can share
with you what I know.
Thanks!

Adobe Captivate and DPS/InDesign - Simulations

Hi, we're working on an elearning/ebook product into which we want to include some practice simulations. (The ebooks are for training on specific software.)
I've successfully created the type of simulations we'd want to build (just a simple one for a test for now) where I record a short "training" in Captivate where it's recording mouse clicks with the popups to warn you if you click in the wrong place.
I want to include this simulation in InDesign for a DPS publication.
I have tried using the Wallaby beta application from the Labs to produce my FLA as HTML5. However, I get a few errors like this:
Unsupported feature: Dynamic Masks are not supported
Context stack:
Mask contains multiple framesets: FrameSet[0]: frames[0,0]
    Layer[0]: Bounding Box
      TimeLine[0]: Slide_7
        Slide_7
          Slides (Adobe Captivate)
            Symbol: Adobe Captivate Objects
And when I insert the HTML5 produced into InDesign, and run the Preview in Content Viewer, it runs automatically through the screen captures, with no user click input and without the popup tips or warnings I had in Captivate.
Am I doing it wrong, or is this not yet possible in DPS? Is there another way to do it if this way doesn't work?
(PS I literally started learning Captivate this afternoon, please go easy on me!)

Hi there
While you are using Captivate, I'm going to have to say you are really asking in the wrong place. Certainly the question doesn't seem related to Captivate Quizzing features or working with a Learning Management System, so for starters you are in the wrong forum category. But that aside, I do hope you realize that the HTML 5 converter is BETA software. Being that as it is, I'm not sure you are allowed to actually use anything produced by it in a distributable product. Not to mention that because it's in BETA, that could also account for some of the issues you are facing. So from that standpoint, if there is a feedback or beta forum for the HTML 5 converter, you may want to ask there.
Otherwise, this would seem to fall squarely into the InDesign realm. You might try re-posting in the InDesign forums.
Best of luck to you in sorting it... Rick

Hi there
Am I correct in understanding that you want to actually publish a Captivate to facebook? Is your goal for the end user to be able to view the Captivate via facebook?
Assuming so, the only way I can fathom that happening is if you created a simple video from Captivate and uploaded the Captivate video as a video in facebook. And that would have no interactivity. You would just watch it play.

Captivate and SumTotal

I read posts that someone (Andrew Chemey) made changes to the
SCORM.html template so CP work with SumTotal LMS, but i cant find
that files anywhere... someone knows where i can find those
files?... they are ralated to send the score at the and of the
Quiz.
Thanks in advance

I think what you are looking for is the Developers area.
However is a link to it somwhere on this board in one of the email
threads, because it was provided to me when I posted a question
about quizzes flagging early completion when they are put into a
Sum Total LMS. Are you new to using Captivate in the Sum Total LMS?
I'm looking for someone who may be able to assist me with some
challenges I'm having as a new user.
Thanks.

Adobe Captivate and Virtual Desktop (citrix)

I have captivate 5 and I'm using it through a virtual desktop in citrix. The problem I have it when I try to start a recording, the application stops responding and closes without leaving any event. The captivate 5 it´s supported for citrix virtual desktop?

Hi there,
It will be helpful if you can give us the following information
1. Has this scenario worked for you when using Captivate 4?
2. What are you trying to Capture? You can let us know the type of application, type of capture setting, and when does it close the application.
3. Apart from recording, are other workflows in Cp 5 working as expected?

Need Replacement Redemption Codes for Adobe Captivate and Presenter

The Chat Tech Support is a hell hole.....always says 'there are several people ahead of you' and never get your turn. Any email address to file this complaint? I purchased Elearning Suite (became Creative Cloud) in May 2013 and until now have not used the product.

Hi mlakunnath,
Please elaborate the problem.

Captivate and Canvas LMS by Instructure

Hi
Does anyone know if there is any info or procedures for connecting Captivate to Canvas LMS by Instructure?
Can it be done using LTI?
Any info whatsoever would be helpful.
Thank you!
Matt

Thanks Tom. Have you any experience building a middleware app that would allow Captivate to talk to Canvas? Or have you heard of anyone doing this?
I received this response from Canvas:
"You will most likely have to build your own app (middleware) that can bridge the communication gap between Adobe Captivate and LTI. What is your programming language of preference? We do a lot of ruby at Instructure, so we have a lot of example ruby apps on github, if you wanted to use one of them as a place to start."

Adobe Captivate 8 serial number message preventing me from using right product

I wanted to download Adobe Captivate and accidentally purchased the Captivate 8 Upgrade.
I discovered my error when I was prompted to "upgrade" a qualifying product that I did not own.
I then downloaded the trial version, in order to demonstrate the value of the commitment (show my employer what the program could do) but the prompt to select a qualifying product keeps preventing me from accessing the trial version.
I have spoken with tech support and the cancellation of the original purchase is supposed to have begun/completed.
Now I can not launch the trial or full version as it continues to auto detect the upgrade verification code and states it can not find a product to upgrade.
thanks,
Joe

I understand that, however...
When I launch the trial version (I want to create something to show before I spend money on our company's account) I am asked to sign in and immediately taken to this screen.
I have no option to proceed.

Can anyone offer me assistance with Adobe eLearning and building an Asynchronous Webinar?

I am looking for some assistance, best practices, ideas and support on how to create Asynchronous Webinars (eLearning) using Adobe Captivate and would love anyone's assistance!

Captivate could be used to provide recordings of webinars, but isn't a platform for providing actual webinars...
So if you gave a webinar using applicable tools, like Connect or WebEx or such...and recorded that webinar...you could place the video recording in Captivate and add a variety of components (slides, bullets, effects, interactions, etc)...though Adobe Presenter may be better suited as I believe its sold as more a Connect companion...
What are you trying to achieve? Do you have an actual webinar platform already?

Why Does Adobe Captivate 8 Web Object Not Get Published Correctly

Hi
I am trying to insert a YouTube video in Adobe Captivate and publish it. While it previews fine, when i publish it as an SWF, i see just a blank frame.
Can you help out here? Also, if I want to publish it as an PDF, will the video play there too?
Warm Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
I am assuming the method you are using now is embedding Youtube videos into your Web object. My suggestion is it will be much easier if you use the Youtube Learning Interaction instead of a Web object to insert Youtube videos to your Captivate project.
This can be found in the Interactions Toolbar -> Learning Interactions -> Youtube
Also, as Sreekanth mentioned, please test it on a web server, or SCORM cloud.
Youtube interaction will work when exported to PDF as well.

Mohana

Adobe Captivate won Best of ELEARNING! 2007 award!

I cannot even believe in this piece of news, am very happy
with the conquered title, it cost all the efforts dedicated to this
fantastic technology.
Congratulations to every team of the Adobe Captivate and the
Communities that do from this technology an evolution in the
market

Tell me, if Adobe isn't operating at this level, who is?
There is little excuse for Adobe if it isn't winning awards.
Anyone who pays for Adobe software knows that we expect
Adobe to be excellent. It almost always is.... ALMOST.

Is Adobe Captivate for me?

Hello,
I came across Adobe Captivate and the eLearning Suite while looking for screen capture video software. I don't know if this is going to serve my purpose and that is my question.
What I would like to do is create tutorial videos through screen capture and video recording. For instance, I might record how to install a sound card into a PC, then I might want to record my screen as I show how to check for the latest Drivers, I want to be able to talk the user through this as I go of course.
So is this software what I am looking for? Can it do all this, or would I be better off with something else?
if Anyone has rich examples of this software doing something close I would love to see them! After all, seeing is believing.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
My 2cents. For the software training, Captivate is indeed for me personally the best app around, and I have been trying a lot (Camtasia, Smartbuilder, Viewletbuilder...).
Of course you have to record the video (that is not possible with Captivate) with a video-recorder. In CP5 importing the video (Adobe Media Encoder will be automatically used for converting if it is not flv) and working with it has become really great. You can spread the video over different slides, readjust the timings, resize, insert Text Captions on the slides with video, add Question slides, audio ...
Would recommend to go for the eLearning suite if budget allows it, because besides Captivate you will have some other great apps (Flash, Photoshop, Soundbooth, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro,...) and moreover very nice roundtripping to Photoshop and Soundbooth.

Adobe Captivate Newbie

Hi, I am BRAND NEW to Adobe Captivate and am really scared!! Is it best to start off with a PowerPoint presentation and record on each slide? What are your thoughts? I have been taking the Lynda.com course, but it just seems so complicated. This is a really complicated piece of software, and I have to learn how to use it. My boss won't send me to a class, because I am only a contract employee. If I don't learn it and create a class within 90 days, he won't hire me on full time. HELP!

I hate to post with an offer, but what I have may interest you. I offer an inexpensive e-book targeted toward new users that you might find beneficial.

director. how can this be done. i import the shockwave (swf)

Hi there
You said:
Fortunately it only seems to be a Firefox issue but unfortunately neither they or Adobe seem interested in fixing it.
I would ask if any of you have taken the time to visit http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and report it to Adobe?
Maybe they are unaware of the exact reason. And the more folks that report it, the more likely it is to be fixed.
Cheers... Rick
