Bookmark Captivate-developed course in LMS

We're trying to get the bookmark feature to work with a Captivate-developed
course (using Captivate 3, course is SCORM 1.2) on the SkillPort LMS. We had assumed that it was sufficient to use the appropriate SCORM.htm and scorm_support.js files (i.e., those that are part of the Adobe Captivate program). However, the bookmarking feature does not seem to work on the course that we loaded to SkillPort. So now I'm thinking that I must have made some wrong selections under Preferences. I'm wondering --
  1. Under the Quiz Reporting "Advanced Functions," should I de-select "Never send Resume Data"?
   2. Under Quiz Reporting, should I have selected "Interactions and score"? Does the LMS need the interactions in order to note where the learner stopped his session?
   3. Or should I have added a playbar to the course, so that the learner could click the playbar's x to exit from the course? (Currently there is no playbar, and the learner just clicks the x in the upper right window corner to close the course.) Although my SkillPort contact tells me that the playbar can be problematic, so I'm thinking we should leave it out. (We don't need it, as we use buttons in the course for navigation.)
Thank you for any insights! This is new territory for me, and the Captivate online help doesn't explain the bookmarking feature.
(Note: I had originally tacked this question onto another topic on this forum, but since it was in an inappropriate category I suspect no one found it, so now I'm posting it in this eLearning section.)

Here's an update. After I de-selected "Never send Resume Data" and also changed the Reporting tab (to not report) on the quiz questions (since in our case, the questions are not the basis for successful completion), we re-published the course at the LMS, and now the bookmarking feature works when you are into the course a ways, for example, if you leave the course at, say page 11, when you later return, page 1 opens only momentarily and right away page 11 is displayed, which is good.
However, it seems if you exit the course at an earlier page, for example, page 6, that the course goes only to page 2 (instead of page 6) later when you resume. We're wondering whether this may relate to -- perhaps we need a quiz question earlier in the course, or perhaps we should delete a silly text animation that I put on page 2, or perhaps something else is causing the first few pages in the course not to correctly activate the bookmark/resume function.

  • Captivate 4 Course is resuming in LMS, but not retaining slides viewed from previous session

    We have published our Captivate 4 course as Complete/Incomplete using SCORM 1.2 to SumTotal 7.2 and are having a problem getting the course to complete after a resume.  We want the user to view 100% of the screens in order to complete the course.  If you exit the LMS at some point before the end the LMS bookmarks the place and will resume where you left off.  The problem is it does not retain the data saying the slides before the resume have been completed (no green checkmarks in the TOC) so when you get to the end of the course the LMS will not mark it completed unless you go back and view the slides before the resume (which were viewed in the previous session).
    I am not sure if this is an LMS or a Captivate issue. Our LMS person is saying this is a Captivate issue because other departments in our company publish courses in Articulate and this feature works fine in the LMS for their projects.
    Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated.  Our internal academy will not let us publish the course to our users unless we can resolve this issue.
    Thanks!
    Terry

    Thank you so much for the reply.  I found on the Table of Contents settings that I did not have Self-paced learning checked and thought that would fix the issue when I republished and uploaded to SumTotal, but I am still having the same issue.
    One thing I did notice is the Exit button on the Captivate skin playbar is not working so I have to use the SumTotal exit button to exit the course.  I was wondering if the status flags are not being retained on exit because we are not able to exit through the Captivate Playbar.  We are going to try disabling the SumTotal playbar to see if that could be the issue.
    Has anyone had any similar issues with the Captivate playbar exit that could provide some insight?
    Thanks again.

  • Captivate 7 course does not track or bookmark when using Fire Fox browser.  Can anyone help me???

    We recently switched from using EI to Fire Fox.  When we switched my Captivate 7 course is now not bookmarking or tracking in the LMS.  Prior to the switch the course was working fine.  Bookmarking and tracking as it should.

    I only have Windows 7 handy to test...
    I installed the bookmarklet from here: http://www.refworks.com/refworks/bookmarklet.asp
    On a non-secure (HTTP) page, it worked as designed and populated a page with reference info. When I clicked import it took me to another page, I guess a login is needed to do that.
    On a secure (HTTPS) page, it opened only a blank tab and triggered a mixed active content block in the secure page. To work around that, I edited the bookmarklet to this code:
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:var%20wRWMain1=window.open('','RefWorksBookmark');d=document;i='AddToRWScript';if(d.getElementById(i))RWAddToRW1();else{s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src='//www.refworks''.''com/refworks/include/addtorw.asp';s.id=i;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);}void(0);</nowiki></pre>
    (The change is removing the http: from src='http://...' so the script will be retrieved using whatever protocol the site is using.)
    Then I reloaded the secure page and tried again. This time Firefox warned me the data was submitting to an insecure page, I OK'd that, and got the expected Web Page Info on refworks.com.
    Can you get that far?
    ''Sorry, the bookmarklet is messed up because of the wiki syntax. I will re-post.''

  • Captivate 8 Course - Problems with Launch in LMS

    I created a Captivate 8 course with a PPT with animiation. Added audio to the Captivate. So far, so good. Uploaded it to our LMS (SuccessFactors). Went to test the course in the staging environment. Course looked like it was going to launch, then the entire screen went black. Anyone run into this problem before?

    Hi, Yes we are currently experience problems with our course in which the loading icon appears for the course.
    For some of our users, if you press the play button, the course will start and for some, clicking the play button has no reaction.
    Also, for some users, it'll automatically play without a play button (this should be the setting bc we have enabled the autorun feature).
    Not sure what to do!

  • Captivate SCORM Course Restart in LMS

    How can i restart a SCORM Course from LMS(ie, the course should not use the previous play information)?
    I have tried this by setting the "lessonlocation" to "zero" but it is not working.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rahul R

    If you're talking about the Resume Data bookmarking the position that the participant got up to in their last session then you can go into Quiz Settings > LMS Customization and check the box for Never Send Resume Data to turn off the bookmarking.
    Check also if TOC settings has Self-paced Learning turned on.  That can also cause bookmarking.
    If you're talking about the scoring recorded in the LMS, that's not something controlled by the SCORM.  You'd have to play with the LMS settings that determine how new attempts on a course module are dealt with by the LMS.

  • Sudden Loading Issue with CP7 Courses on LMS

    These courses published with CP7 were working fine on the LMS, suddenly none of them would load for users on the company's network. External learners are still able to launch the courses with no problem. What is interesting is that all the other courses created in other authoring tools are still loading on and off the network. Any ideas anyone?

    Adding additional information about this problem.  This appears to be related to issues between Chrome and the Captivate 8 course, but I am not certain exactly why.  Today I redid the Captivate 8 file, using a working Captivate 7 file.  I published the course using Captivate as a SCORM 2004 course.  I tested the course in the SCORM Cloud and it opened correctly to the Opening screen of the course.
    Next I uploaded the course to Maestro using IE11 as my browser. The course opened properly when I previewed it from course record.  NO blank screen.
    I then went into Maestro using Chrome 36 as my browser ( which is what I routinely use) and created another course -- uploaded the same file for this course. The blank screen with the playbar appeared when I previewed the course from the course record.
    Still in the LMS with Chrome as the browser, I then went to the course that I had uploaded using IE11 as the browser -- got the blank screen again.  Does this confirm that the issue is related to Chrome 36 breaking all Captivate HTML5 content?

  • Captivate 4 publishing for LMS

    Hello,
    First, sorry for my bad english : I'm french.
    Please  someone can help me : I do not can launch my captivate project on my  LMS : the message written is : The archive is not standard to SCORM 2004  (3rd or 4th ed)
    I've already check the folder that content several files but I don't no exactly what kind of files are needed.
    I work with captivate 4 and my LMS are MOS and syfadis.
    Of course I followed the user guide and I put a cross in "Zip files" and "export html"
    I dont no why but I can't attached the pictures with all the files in the zip folder. If necessary, I'll try later.
    I think my folder is exported as a courses and not as a resouces. Can I change that with a parameter?
    Thanks in advance

    Nico,
    I'm not familiar with your particular LMS but some of these systems that I've worked with allow you to add individual lesson SCORMs as resources similar to adding a PPT deck or a PDF document reference.
    For example in another LMS called Moodle, you can create a course in the LMS and then add resources by selecting the resource type from a drop-down.  If you choose SCORM as the resource type, it will ask you to upload the SCORM file.  This will be just a single Captivate lesson packaged as a SCORM.  The LMS will create a link on the course main page that allows the participant to launch the SCORM content and play it in a browser.
    You can also create a SCORM course in Moodle.  But this only allows you to upload a Multi-SCO SCORM, in which case all the resource files (e.g. Docs, PDFs, PPTs) must be packaged inside the SCORM zip file.
    Check to see if your LMS works in a similar way.  See if under the Resources that you are allowed to add it offers the option to add a SCORM object.  If it does.  Just add individual Captivate SCORMs.
    Just thought I'd mention this in case it was useful and allowed you to structure the course in your particular LMS more the way you wanted.

  • Error when launching a SCORM course in LMS

    I've been publishing SCORM courses from Captivate to my LMS (Training Partner) for several years without any problems.  I recently upgraded to CP 6 (6.0.1.240) and now when I launch the module from my LMS I get a message that says:
    Does anyone have an idea as to what might cause this?
    Thanks for your help!!

    I have Training Partner (Geometrix) LMS installed - been using this one for over four years.
    My workflow is:
    1. Publish Captivate module to a folder with SCORM reporting enabled
    2. Copy the published folder to the LMS content web server
    3. Create course in LMS configured for SCORM reporting
    4. Link for course module points to the .htm file in the course folder
    I've used this approach without any issues up until I installed CP6.  Now I get the error message on modules published with SCORM reporting enabled.  The message does not appear when LMS reporting is not selected.

  • Captivate 8 course won't complete

    Hi there
    I have a Captivate 8 course that will not complete once uploaded to our LMS. The course will only end at 66% and I have been through all the Quiz settings and they all look OK according to some manuals I have.
    I have tried to find a solution to this for days and still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    SCORM Cloud is the most SCORM compliant LMS on the planet. If your course runs fine there, the issue isn't with your course content.
    LMS vendors are notorious for blaming the course or authoring tool when the issue often at their end. They HATE being compared to SCORM cloud. Use that to your advantage.

  • Contracting opportunity for Captivate developer

    Looking for Captivate expertise in Instructional Design for a major project.  Responsibilities include developing 1-2 hour Captivate modules from existing storyboards/scripts. Extremely fast moving project with high visibility. Join an existing team of 5 developers. Some onsite in Sacramento, CA is preferred (not required) for meetings and collaboration. Only Captivate experts who can be immediately productive.

    Richard,
    Something I do not understand here.  If your Captivate developer is only going to be following storyboards that someone ELSE has designed, why does he/she need expertise in Instructional Design?  Normally the instructional design aspect would have already been worked out in the storyboarding process.

  • Question on the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting

    Im looking to use the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting to collect quiz answers and results but due to security issues I would like to put the results directly into a databse and not into google.
    Does anyone have any experience in doing this and if so how what do I have to change to get the widget to send the results to the database.
    Thanks

    Email reporting has been removed in Captivate 6 out-of-the-box, though it can be achieved using a widget.
    You can use Michael’s widget to achieve the same - http://www.cpguru.com/email-reporting-widget-for-adobe-captivate/
