Best Practises ►Repurposing videos with Captivate and export as SCORM

I'm new to Captivate and SCORM.  I have a series of 6 basic video Lessons (MP4s) which make-up one Course.  Lerners must complete (pass a summary quiz) each lesson before they can move on to the next.  We want to repurpose these files to create a more immersive UX.  I'm looking for a "best practices" suggestion for this work.
Currently the plan looks like this:
Re-edit existing videos into sets of smaller clips.
Create Captivate project/s using the edited clips and adding other Captivate tools/features e.g. navigation, quizzes etc.
The Captivate project/s will be exported/saved as SCORM package/s.
We will up-load the SCORM package/s to Moodle.
I'm very new to this, I've not yet created a SCORM-based Moodle project, and am not clear on how they "work," but that's for the Moodle forums.
Should I create one large "Course" with Captivate that contains all of the content from all 6 MP4s?  This will require us to rely on Captivate's functions to control access to each lesson.  Each lesson has a summary quiz; learners must pass each quiz before they can move to the next lesson.  This one SCORM package is than imported into one Moodle course.
Should I create six smaller "Lessons" with Captivate that contain only the content from one MP4?  This will require us to rely on Captivate's functions to control progress through only one lesson.  The summary quiz will be 'administered' by Captivate/SCORM.  When the learner passes the summary quiz the lesson is complete.  We will rely on Moodle's access control functionality to then provide access to the next SCORM package.
If anyone has experience with this sort of project, or can offer some advise I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Larry

While I cannot claim enough expertise to state these are best practices, I offer them as food for thought as you work out your implementation. We use Moodle and Captivate in combination. We do kindergarten to grade 12 curriculum and we realized that there is a huge number of lessons that can be repurposed for multiple grade levels and we also have more than one copy of many of our courses.
What we decided to do was to use what would be equivalent to a repository for the lessons portions. These have interactives in them for practice of the new concept but they are not scored. Our many courses that use a particular lesson can then link to the one instance of the lesson from the repository. This saves us a lot of disk space, development time in new course builds, and if we need to fix or update the lesson we merely have to do it once. Those are huge benefits.
Anything that will score to the grade book runs inside a course so the SCORMs can 'talk' to the course the student is in, so homework, quizzes, and tests are housed inside Moodle courses.
We can place links to the repository lessons easily into the SCORM final landing pages of after the pretest or provide the ability to link to the lesson as feedback if a student is having trouble with a particular question.
We are also starting a project of building interactive walkthroughs for each problem that will be housed in the reporitory. If students get stuck, they can be linked out to the walk through. This is a great way to do these because their homework will not have to be weighted down with a walk through for every problem. That will make them faster to load, but yet when they do need a walk through we can link them out from the SCORM to the deep and interactive added support for just what they need.
So far, this setup has worked well for us. We are not expecting any major changes such as a new domain name on the repository. If your repository domain name or server structure for your repository is likley to be in flux, then this setup is not ideal.

  • Internal table with Import and Export

    Hi All,
    Hi all
    Please let me know the use of <b>Internal table with Import and Export parameters and SET/GET parameters</b>, on what type of cases we can use these? Plese give me the syntax with some examples.
    Please give me detailed analysis on the above.
    Regards,
    Prabhu

    Hi Prabhakar,
    There are three types of memories.
    1. ABAP MEMORY
    2. SAP MEMORY
    3. EXTERNAL MEMORY.
    1.we will use EXPORT/ IMPORT TO/ FROM MEMORY-ID when we want to transfer between ABAP memory
    2. we will use GET PARAMETER ID/ SET PARAMETER ID to transfer between SAP MEMORY
    3. we will use EXPORT/IMPORT TO/FROM SHARED BUFFER to transfer between external memory.
    ABAP MEMORY : we can say that two reports in the same session will be in ABAP MEMORY
    SAP MEMORY: TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS WILL BE IN SAP MEMORY.
    for ex: IF WE CALL TWO DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS SE38, SE11
    then they both are in SAP MEMORY.
    EXTERNAL MEMORY: TWO different logons will be in EXTERNAL MEMORY.
    <b>Syntax</b>
    To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
    ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
    To fill one, use:
    SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
    This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
    To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
    GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
    This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
    To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
    The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
    On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
    On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
    When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
    When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
    However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
    Reading Data Objects from Memory
    To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
    Syntax
    IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
    This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
    You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
    Saving Data Objects in Memory
    To read data objects from an ABAP program into ABAP memory, use the following statement:
    Syntax
    EXPORT <f1> [FROM <g 1>] <f 2> [FROM <g 2>] ... TO MEMORY ID <key>.
    This statement stores the data objects specified in the list as a cluster in memory. If you do not use the option FROM <f i >, the data object <f i > is saved under its own name. If you use the FROM <g i > option, the data objet <g i > is saved under the name <f i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.

  • When I design with Muse and export as HTML Dreamweaver doesn't attach the style sheets. Any answers?

    When I design with Muse and export as HTML Dreamweaver doesn't attach the style sheets when I open the files with Dreamweaver. Essentially when I design with Muse the files don't render the same with Dreamweaver. Is this a bug? Any work arounds?

    Then you will have to install a local server and use live view.  It's not that DW isn't rendering it or isn't attaching it, it's that Muse decided to use server-side processing to include it which is ok for a CMS practice when you are combining stylesheets for better caching, but it really isn't ideal for a single style sheet.  This is a shortcoming of Muse and one of the reasons many professionals don't back the product at the moment.  That and you can't actually buy Muse, so unless you are on a subscription you don't have it.  It's trying to fill a void for those who don't want to invest in the professional design tools like Fireworks or Photoshop or Dreamweaver, but want a cross between them to make designs.  If you have invested in the subscription though and want a better way to make layouts I highly recommend coding it yourself and using Fireworks or Photoshop to do the layout for you.  There is an excellent tutorial on the devnet (3 parts) to show you how its done ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html ).  Once you start using Fireworks or Photoshop you will realize just how limited Muse is in design.

  • Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?

    Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?

    I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
    I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
    As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
    Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now.

  • Best way to work with interlaced and progressive clips in the same timeline

    I´m shooting with Sony MC-50E camera in 1920x1080, 50i. When importing with Log & Transfer I can work with ProRes 422 files in interlaced mode. I have to mix the footage with video screencapture which is progressive (ProRes 422). The final videos are for web only so it should end up as progressive H264 videos. I´m getting good result if exporting to H264, 1024x576 with deinterlacing enabled, but exporting to full HD gives typical interlaced lines in the picture. How can I avoid this and what is the best solution for working with both interlaced and progressive clips?

    Deinterlace in Compressor using Frame Controls, Best settings. You can reconnect the deinterlaced files to your project, if you've already edited, but you may need to copy and paste the clips in your sequence to a new 25p timeline, then Remove Attributes, Basic Motion.
    When you're ready to export your sequence, use Quicktime Movie, Current Settings, Self-contained. Take that file to Compressor to transcode back to h.264.
    The Apple T.V. preset is very good.

  • Embedding video in KN3 and exporting to SWF

    G'day.
    I have KN3 on a PB G4 with QT7 Pro and iLife '05. I'm using iMovie to create a credit role video for the last slide of my slide deck with the intention of embedding narration and exporting the whole caboodle to a SWF file. I'm having problems finding a video format that I can import into KN and then export to Flash: all the formats I've tried have caused the export process to puke and fail.
    I posted this to the applekeynote Yahoo! group earlier in the week and Brian P (waves) provided some useful pointers, but I'm still stuck. With that in mind, I'm wondering whether you guys could have a think on how I might do this.
    My question: how do I create video and import it into KN3 in a way that Flash export will be successful?
    Thanks very much.
    Cheers.

    As far as I know, the Keynote export does not support video, only images and text (and, new with version 3, mp3 audio!).

  • Indesign CS5.5 Problem layer with video with ipad and share video in a swf file on web

    Hi Everyone,
    I have two problems:
    I'm just working on my portfolio
    - I've a page with 3 layers (Cover, Video, base) I'd like that the "cover" layer hide part of the video when it's playing. With a preview as SWF file it's working fine but when i try the preview for ipad or upload on a device when the video start it stay on the top.
    So doesn't "respect" the layer order. Why? how is that possible?
    - I created and exported my portfolio as .SWF with also html file. In this portfolio there are 2 Video File (.mov .m4v) when i try the preview in local they work fine, but when i upload the portfolio with the resourse files and all other file created, i share it and all the aniamtion works fine exept the video. They doesn't show up. Why?
    I mean all the folder ar shared, i don't want everytime download the folder in my desktop to watch also that video.
    How can i do that?
    I just want to share a portfolio with inside video.

    That might or might not work. Let's try closing ID again, log in withthe old user, then delet the files, if they exist, inthe list you'll find at Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup
    Your user library is hidden in 10.8, so if yo don't kow how to show those files, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    Now restart ID using the Keyboard shortcut to remove the prefs (hold down Cmd + Control + Shift + Opt keys as soon as you launch ID and choose Yes when asked if you want to replace the prefs. If you don't see the confirmation message, you weren't fast enough, so you need to try again).

  • Problem embedding video in Pages and exporting as epub

    I'm using pages 09 ver 4.2 (1008). I' trying to embed video (.m4v and .mov)  I can't find the checkbox  'Copy audio and movies into document'. The user guide says it's an advanced option on the 'save as' but my version of pages runnning on Lion 10.7.4 doesn't have a save as'- just a 'save a version. It apparently does auto save).
    I'm using Book Proofer to send the epub generated by Pages to my iPad. The strange thing is that some times the videos work and then I add another and one that used to work don't even appear when viewed on my iPad.
    Any one had experience adding video (eother m4v or mov files using pages and exporting as a epub?
    Thanks for any insights!

  • How do I import a video in mp4 and export in QuickTime H.264?

    Or is that even possible? Whenever I try I get a error "Incompatible codec..."

    It's one file that was produced in a different video software that I used before purchasing Premiere Pro.
    Most of it is composed of a series of stills, though there is a portion that is video (mp4 from the old software). I'm assuming I might have better luck creating a new video and exporting it in that format by importing the stills and video and working with them in Premiere Pro.

  • Canon 5D mark2 video: which preconfiguration and exportation / original

    please which sequence preconfiguration for project with canon 5D mark2 video (avchd 1080p30 or avc-intra or another?)
    and which exportation for create a video with the same original quality? (mpeg2?)
    thank you very much
    i'm french

    I'm amazed that the "I can't edit 5D Mark II video with Premiere" cries are still surfacing. C'mon folks, that problem was solved months ago. OK, it's true, you have to spend an additional $99 for a utility (I'll mention that shortly), but that's life, every software package can't support everything. The problem is partly QuickTime, don't 100% blame Adobe. If you bought a 5D2 and want to produce video, you need to be ready to invest in some things, no getting around it.
    First, the 5D2 puts out 1080p HD clips in H.264 at 30FPS, not the 29.97 NTSC standard. Keep that Post-It stuck on your forehead for a minute. Now, here's how to edit smooth and wonderfully in Pr CS4:
    Go to VideoGuys.com and buy Cineform's NeoScene for $99.
    Open your 5D2 .mov file with NeoScene, and hit Convert.
    NeoScene will produce an .AVI file that will easily edit in Premiere. The .AVI file will be bigger in size than the raw 5D2 file, and will be interpolated from 4:2:0 to 4:2:2 (8-bit to 10-bit), just FYI. It's interpolated, don't expect miracles, but to me the video looks a bit better.
    Import the .AVI into Pr and have fun. PrE should equally work I would assume.
    That's it, simple! BTW, someone mentioned VLC... yeah, it plays video smooth, and the video quality looks like a busted cellphone recorded it.
    OK, couple of items:
    If you record your audio to a .WAV separately like I do, just tweak your speed to 99.9% on the .WAV and all will be in sync. The 5D2 has rotten S/N ratio even with an add-on XLR converters; don't muck with on-board sound, just shoot your video on it. The Zoom H4N is a superb solution to record sound separately. OK, remove Post-It Note.
    I assume you have some horsepower in your PC. If you're running an older dual core with 1GB ram and a single hard drive, game's over. You need power to edit. Get on the Black Friday deals and get some form of an i7 rig if you can with at least ONE separate hard drive for your assets, and 6GB of ram minimum (12gb is better).
    Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7  Windows 7

    Win 7 plays many formats natively. WMP plays my raw 5D2 clips as smooth as silk. It's also AVCHD native (Win 7 that is).

  • Error -49 video rendering, compression and export

    I am having trouble compressing files from iMovie, When I try and "finalize" the video I get an error message. When I compress the video using quicktime H.264 and ACC the issues may be with rendering (?) I have managed to save a .mov file to my desktop but this goes juddery and the sound doesn't work when burnt onto a disc. Disc works fine when saving  as video but not when saving as a data (.mov) file.
    I have tried using internal burner software and also using toast (version 8) neither will produce good data files on the burnt disc.
    Any help?

    Im having error -49 (I have the time machine off, it has been like that all the time) and -108, but the one that appears more is -108, I've seem that is because of the space, but I have enough space base on the information of my MacAir.
    Im very new with this but I'm so frustrated with all these issues, cannot export a video of 16min and is just 69.9MB.
    Is there a way to know specific where are the problems in the video?
    I will appreciate all your help!!
