Elearning suite to Learning Management System (LMS) - how-to from an InDesign file?

We need to be able to export InDesign files to a portable SCORM format that could be loaded into various Learning Management Systems (LMS) – however, it is not obvious how we would do this? We need to publish our documents both in a book\PDF format and to various LMS systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, Angel, Desire2Learn, etc.
What am I trying to accomplish? Many of our College and University clients use Learning Management Systems (LMS). SCORM is a standardized interchange format used to provide internet ready information (e-book data, test questions, etc.) to any LMS systems. We need to export formatted InDesign documents – which for us are our Lab Manual (book) publications which include: text, graphics, pictures, etc.
Adobe advertises SCORM compatibility as part of its e-learning suite: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elearningsuite/els/extensions/WSD40882CF-6 C5C-46c0-8D51-273830EB036B.html --- however, I cannot find anyone who can tell me how to get there from InDesign.
In addition, I find it very frustrating that after many calls to Adobe sales and technical staff that I can't find anyone who can help me with the details of how to get from InDesign to Adobe's "SCORM Packager" See: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/01/scorm_packager.html which I believe is a part of the e-learning suite.
Is it possible to find a high level technical resource within Adobe that I could talk to who could help me with this issue --- we need to test the ability to produce SCORM compatible files from our InDesign files before we can make a purchase decision.

Adobe's Multi SCORM Packaging tool is designed to take existing single SCORM packages (in zip file format) and merge them into a multi SCORM package with a rewritten imsmanifest.xml file at the root level to tell the LMS what the package contains. This allows the LMS to build the array of links that its SCORM player requires to allow the course user to navigate from one module to another.
So if InDesign is not currently capable of creating even a single SCO SCORM package, the Adobe Multi-SCORM Packaging tool is not going to be much use to you.
In reality, the Adobe tool is quite limited in functionality. It's more designed as an add-on for Captivate to allow multi-SCORM courses to be created. Your best bet would probably be to investigate other SCORM packaging tools such as RELOAD that allow you to take content created elsewhere and add them to a SCORM package as resources.
You may need to export your InDesign content as PDF files and have these set up as individual resources or assets in the SCORM package.
However, for any of this to work with an LMS is going to require the final package to have a SCORM API (done with JavaScript) so that user interaction with the individual components of the course is relayed back to the LMS via JavaScript variables. Packaging tools such as RELOAD may be able to do this with some types of content (e.g. HTML) but I don't know if InDesign output is going to be compatible with this approach.
Have you designed your InDesign course content with interactivity in mind, or is it just straight content delivered in a documentation format?

How about Multiple Modular Learning in Learning management system (LMS)

Hi Experts,
Can anybody help me in understanding Multiple Modular Learning and how it can be incorporated in Learning management system (LMS)? Also I want to know whether LMS can support it? If LMS can support it then what are the methods and strategies available in Multiple Modular Learning? I need to know a lot about it and I hope you guys can urgently help me with this.

Hi Experts,
I am still struck on this big time.
My doubt is that in SAP E-Learning we provide students with a single sequence only Eg: Units , Followed by Lessons, Followed by Try mes ( basically excercises) , Followed by Multiple choice questions.
Is it possible for a students say for Eg: Complete the Try mes' first then understand the lessons or Learn the theory first and then do the Try mes' later. I am trying to do ways and means of doing this and also would want to know whether LMS supports this or not and how to make it work through LMS?
I will be gratefull if some one can help me on this?
Regards
Suvasini

How to connect to a Learning Management System (LMS)

Are there any tutorials available on how to connect an LMS with Captivate or a walkthrough someone could offer me?

As Lilybiri states, Captivate is SCORM-compliant, meaning it can publish a SCORM-compliant file. Per the SCORM spec, any SCORM-compliant content must be uploaded to a SCORM-compliant LMS as a .zip file (technically, a '.pif' file, but .zip is the most common).
Now, the actual process your LMS requires to upload a SCORM package completely depends on the LMS, so refer to your LMS documentation/support on how to do that.
Within CP itself, also as Lilybiri pointed out, you need to setup the preferences properly - selecting SCORM (or AICC if that's you and your LMS preference), the version, the various manifest requirements, and the various scoring/reporting options. That in itself is an entire discusion - do refer to the Captivate help on those sections first.

Adobe Captivate Help | Learner Notes interaction

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/learner-notes-interaction.html

Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon? It bad artwork.
I have a cool custom button that I wanted to bring up the Note widget. Also, if I put the Note Widget on top of my custom button, it blocks the button's glow for the mouse over state.
Any ideas?

Anyone use AJAX with Learning Management Systems

I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3. After looking at it
briefly the thought occured to me that the AJAX functionality might
be applied to Learning Management System courses. Typically,
courses fired through a Learning Management System (LMS) use AICC
or SCORM compliant JavaScript in order to achieve the user scoring
interactions.
Has anyone employed the AJAX functionality in Dreamweaver CS3
to enhance LMS functionality? Any Thoughts?
Thank you,
TPK

It should be perfectly fine to include it in head - depending on wha you want.
Try to use Firebug for firefox to debug errors.
You can add plugins to wordpress that makes it easier to include scripts.

Learning Management System

Our company recently developed training using Captivate for a
military client. The client is now interested in the training being
hosted on a Learning Management System for their participats.
Looking for recommendations on an LMS that can host our training
using Captivate.
One LMS was attempted but their Atlas Pro system was unable
to incorporate the training we developed.
Thanks

There are many, many LMS systems. Your decision may have to
do with what
kind of functionality you're looking for, as well as a budget
(of
course). Many of the larger systems incorporate methods of
tracking
things like an employees entire career path...but those get
pretty
expensive too.
Smaller LMS systems that are focused just on presenting
training content
to users tend to be more affordable. Two such LMS products:
1. Inquisiq:
http://www.icslearninggroup.com/products/inquisiq/learning-management-system.htm
2. WBT Manager:
http://www.ielearning.com/wbt/
I've used Inquisiq extensively and would be happy to help
with any
specific questions: erik at capemedia dot net
Cheers,
Erik

Has anyone had any experience hooking Flash up with a
learning management system? I'm using Zinc right now but I'm
wondering what hooks I would need to communicate with any eLMS. Any

If you Google 'Flash SCORM' you should find a good deal of

I am a professor at Kettering College, Kettering, Ohio. The college learning management system is Angel. When Firefox updated to 7.0.1 Angel would no longer send e-mail. Can you fix this?

Any attempt to send an e-mail message in Angel resulted in the following non-responsive script: https://angel.kc.edu/jscript/yahoo/utilities/utilities.js:9. Our IT support suggests uninstalling Firefox 7.01. and going back to an earlier version. I would much rather have Mozilla assist us in making Angel work with Firefox. As Angel is a widely used learning management system I would think Mozilla would want to fix this problem. Thanks. Daryll Ward

Is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate help?

Hi guys,
is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate specific help? I've posted a question twice with no help, it's very specific, so no one here might actually know the solution. I'm wondering though, since the chat is obviously not for Captivate users with product or service questions.
Is there a tech team I can somehow contact? We really need an answer to the problem.
Thanks,
Nat
P.S. I'll post the problem again here:
We publish mp4 training videos as HTML5 content and have the problem that we need to restrict the player to only play/pause.
Adobe Captivate 7 works fantastic for us on almost all devices, many Androids, many browsers, and even on iPad. Captivate, after adding the video as a multi-slide video to one slide and publishing it as HTML5 content, only lets the student play and pause the video - just what we need.
But then we test it on iPhone and the iPhone's internal quicktime player recognizes the mp4 video and kicks in, gives the student all the functions they want, totally overrides the HTML5 published Captivate restricted playback options.
Is there ANY way we can get around that? Any function or box we haven't checked before publishing the HTML5 content?
We would even be happy, if the video wouldn't play on iPhone - just as long as they can't use it to fast forward to the end of the video.
Does anyone here know how to bypass the internal iPhone 5 player?
Thanks,
Nat

By the way, I have updated to the newest Captivate 7 version and am using iOS version 7.0.4.
Again, it's fine on iPad, but not on iPhone 5.
