Captivate 4 - Bookmark feature for LMS

I have completed all development of a course, but have just learned that a bookmark feature is required by the LMS. There must be a way for a User to begin the course then stop, and later be brought back to the same place.
Is there a setting in Captivate where I can enable this feature?

Does your CP-movie have quiz slides and if so, do you report to the LMS? Then you have to activate Resume Data, which is normally the standard option in the LMS Customization Setting (Quiz Preferences, Settings).
When I'm not using the SCORM-functionality (reporting scores), I use the TOC-feature and activate the option 'Self-paced Learning' in the Settings, Runtime Options of the TOC, to have the bookmarking function. I'm certain there are other ways, perhaps someone else will give you another solution. If you do not want to lose any space on your screen you can put the TOC in overlay mode.

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.

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 not bookmarking with my LMS

From what I've read, Captivate with an LMS should support
bookmarking, and resume at the slide where a user closed the
window. However, with our LMS (GeoMetrix TrainingPartner), this
does not seem to be the case. I've uploaded some test SCORM2004
movies with 12 slides, and no matter which slide I quit on, if I
come back in it starts right back at the beginning. Is there a
setting within Captivate I'm missing to turn on bookmarking? After
searching the forums and the web, it seems like most people have a
problem with Captivate bookmarking when they
don't want it to, which is the opposite of my problem.
PS - Yes, I've made sure that "Never send Resume Data" is
unchecked. :)

Only thought is I'm pretty sure you can make the
modifications to the
HTML javascript without worrying about the Actionscript.
Sure, the CP
file has Actionscript, but that largely calls and passes
values to the
SCORM JS functions in the parent HTML document. I'm pretty
confident
that Actionscript does not make calls to the SCORM API
directly.
I know that JS code is there as I've waded through it a
couple times.
It's a bit confusing but I am pretty certain that's where the
direct
SCORM API calls are generated, and thus is where you should
be able to
add the cmi.exit function.
I defer on the resume/ab initio stuff as I'm not clear on it
but,
regardless, you're right - if CP is not setting the exit
value to
suspend (as I trust you're saying it should), then whether it
sets 'ab
initio' or 'resume' when it starts again seems irrelevant.
HTH!

How to get more features for Captivate 6

Hi all,
I've installed Captivate 6 on my laptop at work, I use it for creating training material for our project management system. I was just looking at some Adobe video tutorial and there are some features shown in the videos that I can't find on my captivate (for example Drag and Drop interaction, some particular widget like "Hangman" etc...). I tried to download them, clicking on the "Download more interactions" but there are any available. So, is there a way to get those features, at least those shown in your video tutorial for Captivate 6?
Thank you very much
Elena

Hello,
thank you for your answer.
I have the version 6.0, so maybe I can't get those features because of the version that I have.
Even if I click on "Download more" on the Interactions window, there are no Interactions available, but is it a problem related to my version or it's because there aren't available new features?
Thank you very much,
Elena Bettarini

Hello and welcome,
I cannot remember for the Hangman interaction anymore, but Drag&Drop was only available for subscription users, for version 6.1.0.3190 Maybe it was not clear in the video you are pointing at, that not all features were available for box licenses. Which version do you have?

CP8 - How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?

Hi,
How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?
WebObject doesn't work...
Thanks

I accomplished this by publishing my PDF to a directory I called "PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles" on my webserver outside of where my published project lives.
For example...the PDF to embed lived at:
http://mydomain.com/PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles/file_name_of_PDF_to_embed.pdf
Then I went inside of Captivate and inserted the Web Object widget. I put the URL to my PDF inside the widget. Then it loads perfectly with no problem.
Hope this helps.

Where is the "import/export" feature for backingup/restoring bookmarks file?

In 3.6x, I could go to the Bookmarks tab and open the "Export bookmarks" and backup up my bookmarks to an external back up drive. Conversely, I could go to the Bookmarks tab and open the "Import bookmarks" and bring in a saved bookmark file. I upgraded to 9 this evening and, so far, in 9, for the life of me, I can't find the "Import bookmarks" / "Export Bookmarks" feature. In the past, I've experienced crashes whereby I've lost ALL of my bookmarks. With 3.6x, I could backup the bookmark file daily if I so desired but, with 9, I can't do it! HELP!

edmeister...
THX...
And, well, DUH!...I've used "Show all bookmarks" so many times, over the years, I simply forgot what it was called!...I would just go there, click on it and do my backups...When I went to do so, last night, with 9.0.1, I simply didn't recognize it and, thought "Show all bookmarks" would somehow "unpack" all the carefully-foldered bookmarks I've developed over the years...
Hmmm...call it a "senior" moment...

Bookmark feature in CP4 TOC

Okay, so I know the bookmarking question has been done to death and as I understand it Captivate doesn't support any kind of bookmarking. What it does do however (if it's linked with an LMS) is resume where a user drops off. That, imho, isn't bookmarking as much as it is a resume feature. (and most of the people who have co-opted the word 'bookmarking' are actually looking for this resume feature)
Now if Captivate doesn't support bookmarking of any kind then why is there a 'bookmark' feature in the TOC? The default TOC in Captivate 4 has a little star that claims to bookmark - but in all my testing I have no idea WHAT it does. I can fill in the circle but that's about it. I can't unfill it. I don't get a dialog box or anything that lists the users bookmarks so they can choose .. I'm just not sure what that "bookmark" in the TOC is supposed to do.
What I'd like it to do is bookmark slides so at a later date a user can go into the course and pull up their "bookmarks" and choose which one they'd like to view.
Anyone have any clue if this can be accomplished?
Thanks for your help peeps!

Hi Bradley,
It should work just a Lilybiri described and that is also how it works for me.
Any chance you are deploying through and LMS? If so then you also need to select "Never send resume data" in the SCORM reporting settings. Otherwise that would create a bookmark for you.

Don't want TOC to show when using Bookmark feature

I want to use the bookmark feature on a quiz but the TOC shows on the screen. How do you take it off?

If you are NOT using an LMS then you can turn on Self Paced Learning in the TOC settings.
If you ARE using an LMS, then Self Paced Learning is disabled and you need to rely on Resume Data Bookmarking which is on by default whenever you report to an LMS (unless you have Never Send Resume Data checked in your LMS Customization Settings in Captivate).

Upgraded to the 4 version and now my identity safe feature for norton is missing how do i get it back

I upgraded to the newest version of Mozilla Firefox, and once it was installed and ready for use, my Identity Safe feature for Norton is missing. I do not know how to get it back in the toolbar area. So I retro-graded back to the 3.6-16 version of Firefox, and wallah it's there even the updated version too. So why doesn't my Norton Identity Safe appear with the new version????

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Problem with registering Captivate Quiz score in LMS

We are using Integrity e-Learning’s WBT manager for our
LMS. We have been using Captivate (SWF files) for several months to
show simulations for software. Generally we are quite happy with
the software.
We have been able to easily create a quiz (a Captivate
generated SWF file) and access it through the LMS (using a HTML
frameset), unfortunately we are having trouble passing the
numerical score the quiz generates to the LMS.
When a student takes a Captivate Quiz (bound into a SWF
file), the final score displays on the final frame of the SWF file,
but is not getting passed to the LMS. All the other data seems to
be fine. So far we are only viewing status using the Lesson
Progress Report, which indicates “no score (n/a)”. In
this case we are embedding the SWF file into a HTML page contained
in a frameset.
We have been able to get a score successfully passed to the
LMS if we link directly to the .swf file, bypassing HTML
altogether, unfortunately we also get a warning about using Flash
Player and multiple warnings about downloading the
“aicc_int.asp” file.
I have read through:
“Output Options in Captivate” by Andrew Chemey
(Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4)
“Exploring Quizzing in Macromedia Captivate” by
Mark Fletcher
“Integrating Captivate-Generated Learning Objects into
WBT Manager, Part 1 and 2” by Carol Fallon
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
TPK

Please contact me at [email protected] I have many
examples of Captivate passing scores sucessfully back to WBT
Manager. So hopefully I can help you figure out what is going on.

Creating plug in for LMS

Hi,
1.Can we write plug-ins/ add on to LMS components? If yes please let me know how? any links would be helpful.
2.Does LMS support discovery based on LLDP? If no, can we write our own plugin to take care of device discovery?
Regards,
ram

The EnergyWise "plug-in" for LMS consists of two updates: RME 4.3.1 and HUM 1.2.1. The RME piece is mainly for provisioning while the HUM piece is purely for monitoring.
Once the updates are installed, you will see each application offers features for EnergyWise management (e.g. reports, tasks, pollers, etc.).

The "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing", no window!

Whether I use the key command or click the menu option, the "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing - no window appears. I see an item in the Window menu, but there is no window.

Do you have all your bookmarks in the sidebar (Ctrl+B), if you do there is nothing wrong with your places.sqlite as far as bookmarks go, next check to see if you have history in the sidebar (Ctrl+H)
And before you consider deleting or renaming your places.sqlite
If you are using an external monitor with a laptop try moving the library window back to the laptop. Try searching on just a colon ":" in the bookmarks Library List.
* https://support.mozilla.com/questions/792065
Try in Firefox Safe Mode to make sure extensions are not part of the problem.
May fix problem -- not likely but you have a lot to lose if you lose data from places.sqlite so worth the trouble to try first.
* Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*: Back/forward can't be moved
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Next try a bookmarks backup and restore, this may fix problems, I've never had to delete or rename my places.sqlite file yet, which would lose history, which is needed for the AwesomeBar to work properly or anything else that involves history.
# Ctrl+Shift+B to bring up Library List
# Import and Backup
# Backup to c:\temp\bookmarks-2011-08-18.json (or whatever current date is)
# Import and Backup
# Restore > choose file > c:\temp\bookmarks-2011-08-18.json
# see if problem is fixed
If you still have problem then look to other solutions before even considering deleting/renaming places.sqlite the problem could be in several things also mentioned in the
