Captivate 7 SCORM

I have been using Captivate 7 to create SCORM quizzes for my website. Now, any new SCORM I create will not function, either on my website or in my browser. They will just not open no matter how may times I redo and/or reload them.

It should if you enable Interaction Data (default).

Looking for a SCORM Player or LMS to run Captivate SCORM content (in place of Blackboard 9.1)

Greetings,
Background:
We are trying to run Captivate produced SCORM 1.2 in Blackboard 9.1 and are running into several problems (See http://discussions.blackboard.com/forums/p/49773/152443.aspx Please post any solutions to the problems described in that thread in that thread rather than here).
One of the options we are considering is playing and tracking our SCORM content in a separte LMS or with a different SCORM player.
The question:
Can anybody recommend any (ideally free) LMS or SCORM players that have been tested to work with Captivate CS5?
Many thanks for your help.
Andrew Downes

Thanks, that's helpful. Moodle looks like an option then; the challenge will be finding a way to integrate the Moodle SCORM player with Blackboard.
What other LMSs or SCOPRM players are people using successfully (or unsucessfully) with Captivate? is anybody else using Moodle?
I'm espeically keen to hear from anybody who has found a free SCORM player and integrated it with their LMS/VLE and got it to play and track captivate content well. Has anybody tried integrating the Reload player with thier LMS and running a Captivate SCORM?
Thanks.

Can Captivate Scorm results be saved locally

Can Captivate Scorm results be saved locally for later upload to an LMS? For example, is it possible to download a Captivate course on a mobile device. Allow the course to be completed offline and store the results. Then later connect online with an LMS and upload the saved results.

"download a Captivate course on a mobile device"
So then it would be an App, right?
There's no way to do that yet. SCORM requires a live connection to the presenting HTML page, it doesn't allow for offline tracking.
The TinCan spec:
http://scorm.com/tincanoverview/
Will allow for this type of offline communication. I assume Adobe/Captivate will support it at some point, but its a new spec and such support is still evolving...and the support has to be between the Captivate lesson AND the LMS (or 'LRS') the lesson is reporting to.
For now, the only option for you to have a web-based CP lesson track to an LMS is to have both components be mobile-compatible for launching with a live net connection. Both exist - mobile-compatible LMS products and CP publishing to HTML (with some limitations), so that would be the approach to tackle for now if such tracking is critical.

Captivate Scorm 1.2 with Moodle and max. apptempts

Dear all,
I am the person who pushed Captivate in our company and now everyone is looking at me because its not doing as we are used by Articulate.
The setting:
Moodle allows three tries to see if someone passed or failed a lesson.
After the third try the user can redo the course in Articulate, but all questions are greyed and no new try is reported back to Moodle.
That way the user stays always with three tries and is displayed as in review mode in Moodle.
My problem:
Captivate is set to 3 tries and reports back to Moodle.
In Moodle the user has three tries and after these three tries the user is shown passed or failed.
If the user starts the test a forth time (Moodle shows review mode) captivate will 'crash'.
If started a fifth time, captivate will work and report back.
So if you try it a fifth time and pass, Moodle shows passed.
Where is my logical error. What setting did I set wrong?
Can Captivate not do the same as Articulate?
Can Captivate receive a variable to disable the questions (Could be done via Widget)?
Any ideas?

You mention that you have the quiz inside Captivate set to three tries as well as Moodle giving the user three tries. I make that a total possible 9 attempts at the same quiz. If the idea is to only give the person three opportunities to pass a test then you should set Captivate to only one attempt each time launched and let Moodle handle the number of attempts. Or give Captivate 3 attempts and 1 in Moodle. Either way, the limit should be three, if that's what you're after.
However, that won't change the bigger issue that Captivate is crashing for some reason and Moodle doesn't prevent a fourth or fifth scoring attempt. It appears to me like when Captivate crashes, it's because something has happened in Moodle, because theoretically Moodle shouldn't be allowing any fourth or fifth scoring attempt. So I wouldn't immediately be blaming Captivate for the issue here.
By definition, a SCORM doesn't actually know how many times it gets loaded because it doesn't store any data after the session is closed. The SCORM standard states that the SCO should not require anything outside itself to function. It's the LMS's job to record data about the user interaction with the SCORM. So if the LMS (Moodle in your case) allows the user to open the same SCORM after they've exceeded the maximum permissible number of attempts, then the LMS is supposed to disable further scoring capability somehow, either by only allowing the course to open in Review Mode (which allows the user to do the quiz but not get any credit for it recorded) or by not allowing the user to open the course modules at all, usually giving them a message that says so.
I think your problem is somewhere in Moodle, not Captivate, and you may need to find out why Moodle is still recording scoring attempts AFTER the maximum number permitted. This sounds like a Moodle bug to me and it might also explain why Captivate is crashing. (If by crashing you mean that the Captivate lesson seems to go unresponsive, this is most likely because it's SCORM API is waiting in vain for the proper response to come back from Moodle.)
I'm not familiar with how Articulate interacts with LMSs, so I'll have to take your word for the fact that it can read the fact that the LMS has exceeded permissible attempts and disable the quiz components. That sounds like quite a cool feature, but Captivate doesn't have it (that I'm aware of). I know of no widget that will do it for you either, though in theory it could be developed.

Captivate SCORM and WebCT

When I tried posting a SCORM zip file into WebCT 6.0 I
received the following message.
"The SCORM package could not be imported because it does not
comply with one or more specifications within the package. The
following error was produced: **Parsing Error** Line: 12 Message:
cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'xsi:schemalocation' is not
allowed to appear in element 'lom'. Please inform the SCORM vendor
and try again once the problem has been resolved."
I did not know if this was a WebCT or Captivate issue until I
downloaded a SCORM player called RELOAD and opened the file in that
program. I received the same error there, as is follows:

Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

Hi, I am not a WebCT expert, but i have noticed, that in zip
file, if you have paths associated then some of the servers gives
error while uploading.
So what i will suggest you to do is, publish the captivate
files in a folder, select all the files and create a zip out of
that. Open the zip, and make sure that the path column is either
empty or relative for SCORM_* files.
Not sure if it will help you, but you may give it a try.
thanks

How to create a TOC for my captivate scorm

Hi,
I am trying to use Captivate 2 to convert a 50 slide
powerpoint presentation into a V1.2 SCORM object .
The object opens when I publish and upload to my site, but it
only shows 1 entry (for the 1st slide) in the table of contents.
I guess the ppt is OK - I get a 50 entry TOC when I publish
the ppt as a webfile, so I guess I need to set a parameter in
Captivate 2 before I publish my Scorm in Captivate.
I cant see anything to set (but as a real novice, its quite
possible that Im missing something obvious?)
Can someone please help out - Im real stuck at the moment.,
Thanks
Martin

I am using Captivate 2 and created a very nice main menu just
using buttons with a Jump to Slide option set for each. This allows
me to create a topic menu to chunk my course into smaller, more
manageable pieces. One thing, though, is that at the end of each
topic, I have a RETURN TO MENU button on the slide for the user to
click - or - he/she can just click the page forward button and go
directly into the next topic w/o returning to the menu. This seems
to work but there is not indication on the main menu that the topic
has been completed (I used to do this in Authorware using
scripting).

Captivate SCORM html5 in Moodle 2.5.3 failing

Hello,
I am working on some videos in Captivate and published them in SCORM HTML5 for Moodle 2.5.3. I tested them with SCORM Cloud and the passed the test. However, when I uploaded them in the moodle, I can only see the content in IE, but some of the videos are presenting an error in Chrome (text boxes and some objects don't show in the screen). To solve that, I had to merge the objects to the background in Captivate creating a new merged version (preserving the editable one), not the best solution. In addition to that, the videos don't play well in iphone 4s IOS6 and ipad 3 in Safari nor Chrome. When I can finally log in in the mobile device, the screen crashes and closes unexpectedly, and when I try to access it again, it logs me out from the moodle e-learning environment. Can please someone help? We chose Captivate in SCORM HTML5 for the client so they would access the training content in mobile devices and that is not working.
Thanks!

Moodle 2.6 has improvements that make it display better on Mobile devices (and is generally better) earlier versions of Moodle should still display HTML5 content but not very well when using a Mobile device. I'd definately reccomend testing your packages with Moodle 2.6 to see if it helps but I'm not aware of a specific issue that would cause the described behavior above.

Moodle + Firefox/Opera + Captivate SCORM = trouble

I'm using the Moodle LMS (version 1.8) and created a few
SCORM packages with Craptivate 2 to test. When using Firefox
(version 2.0.0.4) or Opera (version 9.21) the problems start. Under
Firefox I get partial tracking results and the course never gets
listed as completed. When using Opera I get absolutely nothing, no
scores, not completion, nada, nichts. As soon as I make use of the
dreadful Internet Exploder, stuff works like one would expect.
The question of the day, are the Craptivate 2 packages
crafted in such a way as that the accompanying .js and .html files
are one of these "IE only" deals? It for sure isn't Moodle as it
never fails when using IE.
Anyone can shed some light on this?

Hello all,
I've got an explanation to this issue with firefox, but no
solution.
I've noticed the same problem with a LMS: the final score was
not sent, and sco stayed at failed status in my sample.
When I log the dialog with the API scorm and I notice that
the calls to SCORM API are slower with Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 than
with IE.
So slower, that the Captivate ends, but the LMSSetValue calls
was still going during several seconds, with any waiting
instruction to the learner.
The learner ends the Captivate before it has time to send all
SCORM data to the LMS. As the "completed" status is at the end, it
stay at failed status.
Here the log with my sample:
Each call to SCORM API is logged, with the time.
We notice more than 250 milliseconds each LMSSetValue.
At the begining:
16:32:02.884 LMSSetValue : cmi.core.session_time, 00:00:05
At the end, before exiting:
16:32:20.619 LMSSetValue : cmi.core.session_time, 00:00:15
16:32:20 - 16:32:02 = 18 seconds, but in fact only 00:00:15 -
00:00:05 = 10 seconds spent. So => the sending of SCORM data
takes 8 seconds late compare to Captivate duration.
If I wait before clicking on Exit:
16:32:26.150 LMSSetValue : cmi.core.session_time, 00:00:29

Captivate SCORM and SharePoint...

My company is working to set up a training program using
SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) as the LMS and Captivate 3/SCORM
compliant classes for the content.
Here are my questions:
1. Can captivate class progress be saved and resumed at a
later date exactly where the student left off? Currently we are
using demo mode not interactive, but I'm wondering if this can be
done with both as we may go interactive later.
2. Can the captivate flash player be rebranded to fit the
company brand?
3. Do you have any links or resources on configuring
captivate to work with Microsoft SharePoint Learning Kit?
Thanks in advanced.

1. Sure, as long as the LMS supports it. Captivate stores
current
progress in the suspendData field. So as long as the LMS has
that
variable and can send the values back to a Captivate lesson
on request
(when relaunched), Captivate will resume (in most cases).
2. I think so, at least to some degree. Search about a bit
and find out
where the 'skins' are stored. You should be able to use one
as you
basis, modify it, and save as a new skin. I think they're
pretty much
all just BMP/JPG files.
3. I'd like to know this too!

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.

Why does captivate 5 scorm 2004 change the pass/fail status when using complete/incomplete

SUMMARY: I am trying to use SCORM 2004 reporting but I am finding out ADOBE does not diffentiate between COMPLETE/INCOMPLETED and PASSED/FAILED variables in the SCORM 2004.
RESULT: I can not accurately get the passing/failing status from the course.
QUESTION: Is their anything I can do or does ADOBE have a patch they have release which will accurately report the passed/failed STATUS as well as the completed/incompleted status.
OTHER RESEARCH: I even attempted to post these "proofs" on scorm.com and they have something called "SATISFACTION TRACKED" to accomodate content creation systems (CAPTIVATE 5) which does not follow the standards of SCORM 2004.
BACKGROUND: the report status "Incomplete/Complete" and "Pass/Fail" under the publishing options for SCORM 2004 essentially mean the same thing when the CAPTIVATE COURSE sends setvar commands to the SCORM API... In other words the SCORM API receives the same exact commands when publishing in both modes. "THIS IS WRONG"
why is the wrong? IF REPORTING; incomplete/complete ; the CAPTIVATE 5 COURSE SHOULD NOT "change" the STATUS OF PASS/FAIL when attempting to report COMPLETE/INCOMLETE with 100% slide views.
DEMO #3> SHOWS THE PROBLEM
About DEMO #1 and DEMO #2> these are other reporting options I attempted with other problems arrising..so these images are just for supporting my original problem which is shown in DEMO #3...
DEMO 1 (REPORT STATUS has no affect on reporting):SETTINGS:
PASS: (PROBLEM)
Anything above Passing Score is not recorded to LMS (once passing is reached...no more bookmarks are recorded)
FAIL: (CORRECT)
Failure gets sent to the database on the last screen with "completed"
DEMO 2 (Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api):
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
NOTHING GETS SENT TO DATABASE (stuck in final score screen forever)...because it says "INCOMPLETE"
DEMO 3:
Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database with a 90% passing with "completed"
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
LAST SLIDE SENDS "completed" but GETS SENT AS A PASSING SCORE??? even when it is a failure
(IN OTHER WORDS ADOBE CHANGES THE PASS/FAIL STATUS based on slide views...
this is WRONG ....REALLY WRONG becuase I am trying to report
"COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE" for 100% slide views
PASS/FAIL OPTIONS:
OPTION I CAN PURSUE?
SO WHAT CAN I DO? YES, I CAN TELL THE LMS...to COMPARE THE SCORE RECEIVED DURING A "COMPLETE" status...and then change the grade in the LMS based on the SCORE IN THE LMS...BUT THAT WOULD MEAN THE LMS COULD REPORT ONE GRADE and the COURSE COULD REPORT A DIFFERENT GRADE....and that would not be good.
ALL OF OUR COURSES SHOW THE STUDENT THE FINAL SCORE WITHIN EACH COURSE..
QUESTION TO ADOBE?
SO ADOBE when are you going to differentiate these two reporting options so that the PASS/FAIL OPTIONS ARE ACCURATELY REPORTED WHEN USING COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE?
MORE INFORMATION
HERE IS THE SCORM.COM "Satisfaction" adjustment (very last line) to accomodate inconsistent reporting in CAPTIVATE 5.

CAPTIVATE SCORM SUCCESS_STATUS COMPLETE STATUS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT
CAPTIvATE 5 cmi.completion_status
and cmi.success_status does not work independently with scorm 2004. they both share the same definition. These two field were designed to help differentiate the difference between a passing or failing score and when the course is actually completed. WITH CAPTIVATE 5 they do not differentiate the two. COMPLETE means PASS and INCOMPLETE means fail..
I was trying to use "completion_status" as a way to determine when all slides were shown. So that I can send the final score (PASS/FAIL) the LMS after all slides were viewed and this was the absoluted score the student recieved.
2011 CAPTIVATE CHANGES cmi.success_status TO PASSING WHEN COURSE REPORTS FAILURE

Hi,
Here's something I found in a similar situation... hope this helps!
After publishing your CP5 project as a SCORM 2004 zip file, unzip the file so you can get into the separate files. Open the imsmanifest.xml file with a text editor; I like using Notepad++. Search for the line starting with <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>. The complete line will probably look like <imss:minNormalizedMeasure></imss:minNormalizedMeasure>, this is the line that is supposed to contain your passing score (at least for our LMS). So, if your passing score is supposed to be 80%, edit this line to be: <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>0.80</imsss:minNormalizedMeasure> and save the file. Then select all the files and re-zip them, I use 7-zip for that.
I found one other weird thing that doesn't happen 100% of the time, so test it. In the example above, try to get a score of exactly 80% (or whatever passing grade you are using) and see if you get the correct status reported. I found I sometimes have to re-edit that line in the manifest file to be 0.79 so it correctly includes an exact 80% score. No idea why and you have to watch the number of questions in your quiz to make sure that works for you mathematically.
If this works or not, I'd recommend posting your results so others can get some ideas. Good Luck!!

Captivate 7 Scorm 2004 and some Errors

I've exported 2 captivate scorm files and used the Adobe Multi Sco Packager to create one course.
When we upload the packaged scorm file to the LMS we keep getting the following errors in the debug window:
Can someone point me where I can start to look on how to fix this issue?
55: GetValue("cmi.launch_data")
56: GetErrorString("403")
57: return "Data Model Element Value Not Initialized"
58: 403 Data Model Element Value Not Initialized
59: GetLastError()
60: return "403"
61: GetLastError()
62: return "403"
63: GetErrorString("403")
64: return "Data Model Element Value Not Initialized
----- and also the following:
83: SetValue("cmi.score.scaled","NaN")
84: GetErrorString("406")
85: return "Data Model Element Type Mismatch"
86: 406 Data Model Element Type Mismatch
87: Invalid data format for Real: NaN
88: GetLastError()
89: return "406"
90: GetErrorString("406")
91: return "Data Model Element Type Mismatch"

It should if you enable Interaction Data (default).

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 5.5, SCORM, and Blackboard 9.1

I'm currently administering online classes that rely on Captivate 5.5 modules published in SCORM format, which are housed on Blackboard 9.1. Even though all of the modules are published with the exact same settings, they don't all work consistently--for example, the grade center will report one module attempt as "in progress" instead of the quiz score, but when I check the attempt, it appears that the student viewed the module and completed the quiz successfully. Other modules in the same course report the score with no problem whatsoever.
Is anyone currently using Captivate SCORM in Blackboard 9.1 successfully with consistent results? I'd be happy to share my Captivate/Bb settings to see if I'm doing something wrong on my end. However, since some of the modules report to the grade center with no issues, I'm not sure if that's the case.
Thanks in advance,
JAB

I don't think many Blackboard users have the option of just "changing the LMS". That's a decision that would be out of their control.
My suggestion is to make sure that the users who are not getting their course modules marked completed are actually moving beyond the Quiz Results slide. In many cases you'll find that learners are just shutting down the course player as soon as they get to the Quiz Results slide. This can mean their score is not transmitted to the LMS.
I've found that with many LMSs you need to have at least one slide beyond the Quiz Results slide and you need to force (or at least strongly encourage) the learners to click the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide to ensure the timeline moves into that final slide. So I rename the Continue button to something more encouraging like REGISTER YOUR SCORE! so that learners believe they need to click this button.

Using Captivate 4 Aggregator to Combine Articulate SCORM Files

I am trying to use the Captivate 4 Aggregator to combine multiple Articulate SCORM files into a multi-SCO project. I know that all of the files were published to SCORM, but when I try to add them to the project, I get a message that says "selected zip package is not Captivate SCORM package". I can't find any difference in file structure on contents between a file that "works" and a file that doesn't work.
This module works:
This module doesn't work:
Any idea why?
Thanks :)
Linda

Hello,
I'm sorry, but as far as I know Aggregator works only with Captivate generated files, not even with Flash files.
But you are talking about SCORM, sure that you do not mean the SCORM packager?

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.
