Captivate 7 and LTI ?

We've developed a series of Captivate projects and published them to SCORM2004 and distribute them regularly to several different LMS versions without issue. We now have an LTI (IMS Learning Tools Integration) platform over which we deliver other curriculum and need to deploy our Captivate curriculum via LTI vs. distributing and updating hundreds and hundreds of SCORMs.
However, since LTI consumers load the tools into iFrames at the LMS the SCORM/Tin Can/AICC drivers have no way of accessing the browser/LMS document model in order to communicate results, or so it seems. Debugging in console always shows exceptions with undefined documents and objects. .
Having found nothing on Adobe.com or anywhere else does anyone know if there are plans to have Captivate support IMS LTI/LIS or Common Cartridge? Or is there something I'm missing within Captivate that would allow me to post results to the LMS through LTI that I'm missing?
Thank you,
Bill

I'm not sure if this will be helpful. I understand that there is software that will migrate SCORM packages to IMS Common Cartridge packages. It is called IMSCC Builder. It was developed by IMS Global (IMSGlobal.org). I do not know if this tool has any sort of 'batch' process that could automate the task.
This is all new to me I'm only just getting my feet wet, so I apologize if this has nothing to do with your request/needs.

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."

New development in Flash Captivate and Content Management

My compay currently uses Serena Collage for Content
Management along with Macromedia Studio MX 2004 for web site
development. We have an upcoming e-learning project that we are
considering developing in Captivate and Flash. We are mandated that
all development be Section 508 compliant and e-learning must be
SCORM compliant as well.
Can I continue to use Collage to manage content developed
from Captivate and Flash or will I have to use a different product?
According to documentation Captivate SCORM and 508 compliant and is
Flash 508 compliant is this correct?
Please advise.

I am not familiar with Collage or its requirements, but Flash
MX 2004 is 508 compliant, I have had to make partial and full
compliant courses with it. That being said, it took us a decent
amount of time and effort.

Is it possible to "convert" a PPT/Presenter file to Captivate and retain the audio, video, etc.?

Hi - I'm wondering if someone has done this or can recommend the best way to do this.
We have a PPT/Presenter file that was created using PPT 2010 and Presenter 9. We recorded audio for the training right in Presenter and have also imported videos into the file using Presenter.
We need to output the file to DVD to actually play on a DVD player. We know we can do that with Captivate (we are using Captivate 5) and are wondering if there is a way to take our file (the package so to speak) and get that to open in Captivate and retain all of the pieces that we have added to it (audio, video, hyperlinks).
Or, alternatively, if there is a way to publish our Presenter file to DVD format, that would work for us too.
Thank you for any information or suggestions!
Emily

Hi Emily,
Presenter contents and captivate contents are different. but you can achieve it using the following steps in presenter.
1. Open you presentation.
2. GO to Adobe Presenter>>Publish .Publish dialog will open.
3. Check the CD package checkbox and publish the content.
4. Now Goto the publish folder and burn the content on DVD.
After successfull Burn, You can play on DVD player.
I hope this will work for you. Kindly let me know if you are facing any problem.
Thanks,

Captivate and LMS JavaScript Problem

We use Captivate and a Plateau LMS. We had an issue with
bookmarking within our course. The first lesson worked just fine,
but later lessons were not bookmarking. We added javascript alerts
to the code to see when the Captivate content was setting LMS
variables.
We feared the issue was the bandwidth between the client and
the LMS was so limited that the script attempting to set the LMS
variables was failing, but this is not the case. The script appears
to not run at all sometimes at random intervals. When it does run
it is successful each time. The first lesson, which works reliably,
is much smaller than the other lessons, maybe the size of the SWF
factors into the ability for the script to run properly?
Has anyone else run across this issue? Does anyone have
advice in deeper troubleshooting an issue like this?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris

I think that CP3 sends back its data on a time basis, not a
slide
basis...like every 7 seconds or something?
We've had customers who are tracking interaction data in
their CP
quizzes which have like 40 questions. If they go through it
too quickly,
the timed 'save' to the LMS gets behind quickly...so by the
time the
user is done, only 2/3rds of the suspend data has been
saved...
And I imagine the bookmark could be left out entirely as
well.
So see if it's a timing thing? Go through slowly, see if
posting happens
on a timed basis...maybe that will help determine where the
issue is...
I do wonder how CP4 sends its data back...

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.

Captivate and Articulate

Hello,
I created 2 sets of questions in Captivate using images and
roll-overs and correct and incorrect feedback. The first set has 3
questions, T/F, multiple choice and matching. The second set has 2
questions a multiple choice, and matching. I have the submit and
next buttons on the question. I used these questions last year in a
course that was published in Articulate and uploaded to our LMS
(Cornerstone) and I had no problems.
This year we revised the current course, I made text changes
to the questions in Captivate and published. After I import these
into Articulate, you can not see the corrective feedback text when
you select the correct answer, the incorrect feedback text will
always display even when you select the correct answer. I used the
Import .swf in Articulate to display in presenter window. If I
import and display in a new window, thew question works.
I am baffled to what has changed that would prevent the
correct feedback from displaying. Anyone ever hear of this and have
any suggestions on how to fix this or what I should be looking at
to fix this?

You say nothing about the version of Captivate used to create
the courses. Obviously, "last year" indicates that either Captivate
1.0 or 1.0.1 was used, but it's rather important to know which. The
implicaiton of "this year" indicates you upgraded to Captivate 2.0
- is that correct?
Pending replies to the above, it occurs to me that the
problem does have to do with conversion of the original files -
specifically some branching seems to have gone awry. Let us know
what version of Captivate you used originally - and which you are
using now. Might not hurt to include the same info on the version
of Articulate Presenter being used.
Thanks.

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.

Adobe captivate and facebook

I did create my quizz in adobe captivate 7, everything was fine,

What to do.

the image that appers is this ones

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 Chrome issues

I'd like to return to the discussion about problems with Google Chrome. My Captivate 7 eLearning starts to play (from Adobe Connect) and then virtually closes itself out and disappears during the second screen. Is there particular issues with Captivate and Google Chrome? My co-workers also cannot run Captivate eLearning on Chrome, while things are fine on Firefox or Safari. Is this a general issue with others, and if so, what can be done about it?

Perhaps it's some setting that needs to be clicked? Everyone on my team has problems with the eLearning playing in Google Chrome, while Firefox and Safari are no problem at all. The file literally closed on it's own for me. Poof! Gone! While playing in Google Chrome.
I am using version 7.0.1.237. This is not a new problem for us. Google Chrome has always been problematic. I should also say that it makes no difference if the eLearning is being viewed on a Mac or on a PC. As long as it's playing in Google Chrome, it either won't play for long or it just stalls out.
Thank you for your help.

Using Captivate AND video?

We're doing a monthly meeting that involves a lot of on
screen demos, as well as a presenter and questions from the
audience. The room is fully video equipped, however, it's lousy at
recording the screen due to the resolution and lighting of the
projector.
I'd like to capture all on-screen action and presenter audio
via Captivate, and then record the meeting with the video in
addition. Is there a practical way to then maybe add the video to
the captivate presentation? Maybe as an FLV in a small 'picture in
picture' type of window?

Hi darreldarrel
I'm guessing you might be able to accomplish it by recording
the Captivate and publishing to create one .SWF. Then create a
second Captivate that is larger than the first. This one could
become a "one slide wonder".
Insert the first Captivate into the second. Then insert the
video and position as desired. I'm thinking this may create the PiP
effect you could be looking to achieve.
Keep in mind that it's just theory at this point. I've not
tested it. There could be issues I've not considered by using this
approach.
Cheers... Rick

Difference between captivate and presenter

HI, what's the difference between Adobe captivate and
presenter. Do they both do the same? Which one is better for use in
creating online training modules?

It took me a while to "get it" too. Yoiu can take a look at
Adobe's spin on things from the blog site maintained by Silke
Fleicher from Adobe at:
Sike Fleicher
Blog
But the real truth of this is that they are quite different:
-Captivate Excels at computer software simulations, software
demos and software learning simulations (where the user gets to try
a simulation test.)
-Captivate is a stand-alone application and not an add-in to
powerpoint
-Captivate does let you import PowerPoint slides
-Captivate creates a stand-alone CP file to store your setups
and then you publish to Flash, Word, Acrobat
-Captivate does not produce a side-panel to show progress,
but it does provide a wide range of progress bars and related
forward and back button options and positions
-Presenter is an add-in to PowerPoint
-Presenter has an optional navigation panel to show progress,
but it has limited forward and back navigation button options.
-Presenter is more like PowerPoint, but you gain Quiz sets or
single Quiz options and the ability to integrate and embed Flash
content such as Captivate SWF files as a slide set. For example you
can have a PowerPointesque look with a navigation pane on the left
or right and then present the user with a video or software
simulation on another slide and then Quiz the user about the
materials or demo.
I would consider Presenter to be about as hard as learning
how to use PowerPoint, but all of the options are now on one menu.
I would consider Captivate to be about as hard as learning to
use Excel, where the basics are easy, but there are many options.
For Software demos and simulations, Captivate is the better
choice.
For Quiz-Enabled PowerPoint, Presenter 7 is the better choice
For e-learning of Software, you can use juset Captivate, but
both products make a good team
Finally, while Adobe charges a bit too much $$$$ for each,
the cost is recouped with the time you save on a large project. If
the products were 1/2 of the list price, they would probably sell
10X the number of copies and create some real BUZZ about these
products for the group of people that are not e-learning
professionals (a huge group).
The final piece is a system that integrates the Quiz results
for user login and score tracking. Known as a Learning Management
System (LMS). Both Presenter 7 and Captivate export to Adobe's
Connect system in Connect format and they also publish to SCORM or
AICC formats used by other systems. However, the cost of the
Connect system for LMS (not the live presentation piece, just the
e-learning piece) is well beyond reach for a small company (about
3X the price of other products). The 40% annual maintenance fee
charges, limited feature set and slow to fix it support make
Connect about a grade "C" compared to the competition. Adobe can do
far better to make Connect the LMS tool that it could be in terms
of features, price and bug repairs. So if you need a LMS to go with
this, then you should certainly look at Connect and price it (it is
nice), but look at what you could get elsewhere for both features
and support at a given price point.

Inserting a variable value from querystring into captivate and out again

I am using Captivate 4 on a server that uses ASP and I use FrontPage to write my ASP pages.
I have a database built and hosted at the same location as my captivate file. I used to launch my captivate and then have the user continue to a form page, enter their information and submit to the database. This all worked great.
Now I need to capture completion of several captivate files (modules). So I want an ASP page that allows the user to see what modules are done (I use a request form to search my database). It works great. It comes back and tells the user what needs to be taken. They, on that same page, can then select the module to complete next (I have the request querystring added to the URL that launchs the captivate file (I changed it from a html page to an asp page).
It launches fine but I can't figure out how to get that request querystring into captivate as my variable value. question 1
Then after that is figured out I need to know how to pass that variable back to an ASP page that will contain form questions that will then travel to the database. (Thus giving them credit for that module). question 2
Any help would be great. I am not very good at code, but trying. My database is Access.

So you want to pass some data into Captivate? This can be achieved with a Flash Widget and FlashVars. Basically you would be able to launch a Captivate project on www.google.com/myProject?myVariable=1 and then get the value of myVariable into a Flash widget. The Flash Widget could then pass this variable into Captivate be populating a custom variable that you have definied within Captivate. From that point on you would be able to use the variable in your Captivate project. Google for Flash Vars to see what can be done with it.
As for the other way around - Captivate sending information to your ASP script - that would also require a widget (or perhaps calling a JavaScript function). From the Flash widget you would be able to pass along data from Captivate to an external script and then use it any way you want.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
