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?
Best TD

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 7 question - slide with audio and light boxes not functioning properly

    I am currently working a project and cannot figure something out. 
    I have a slide with 9 smartshape buttons on it.  When each button is clicked it brings up a lightbox.  Each lightbox has it's own close button. When the lightbox is closed by the user then the user immediately sees the 9 button screen and can choose another button to view and read, and so forth.  I have the lightboxes working fine.
    Now, I added text to speech.  It is a mere 15 seconds in length, but it contains some important content and the directions.  I want the text to speech audio to stop playing if the user goes ahead and clicks on one of the 9 buttons which then brings up a lightbox.  I want the audio to then resume when they close the lightbox.  OK I have all of that working in a technical sense.
    I've also tried this advanced action, but this stops the Audio entirely, however it does solve the autoadvance issue. so I am just trading issues.
    I also have  "back and next" nav buttons on the slide, so the user must click one or the other to proceed off the slide.  Ok those worked.
    Here is the issue.  Once I added the text to speech audio, at the end of 17.3 seconds, whatever lightbox the user may be viewing and they hit the close lightbox button, captivate automatically sends the user to the next slide.  No clicking "Next" or anything.  I can't figure out why this is occurring. 
    Prior to adding audio the slide worked as it should with the user being able to click each of the 9 buttons to "read some info" then close it and click another button on the slide, etc.  They could do this in any order they wanted. 
    When I added the audio, I set the advanced actions so if a user clicked on one of the buttons, the audio would stop playing until they came back to the main screen.  Ok no problem getting that to function - except it stops functioning at the end of 17.3 seconds. 
    What am I missing?
    Thanks for any help!!!
    Michelle

    Correct I have only 15 seconds of audio with the slide.  no audio with any of the light boxes.  Those are "read only" light boxes.
    If the user clicks a shape button early, before the entire audio has played, I want the audio to stop, so the user can read the lightbox info, then as they click back to the slide away from the lightbox, I want the audio to resume playing - so they can hear the rest of the audio.  But,  this is where is doesn't function properly as when the audio finishes playing at 15 seconds.  The next shape button the user clicks on to shows the lightbox, but when they click to close the lightbox, the lightbox closes then sends the user to the next slide.  They haven't had a chance to view any of the other shape buttons and the information found in those corresponding light boxes. 
    I hope this clarifies.
    Any thoughts?

  • Can I create a single captivate 7 software demo with captions and have multiple languages versions

    First Timer here; we are a small but global company and we would like to create training videos for our worldwide customers.  What we want is to create a video once with English captions and then use the exact same video over and over but changing the language to German, Spanish, French and more each time we save it.
    Example: we create a video demonstrating how to perform a specific task and save it in English.  Then, before we close this "English" file, we would like to save it in German, then save it again in French, etc. The idea is not to have to open the software and repeat the "click-by-click" action for each language; just perform the software navigation once but somehow change the language displayed in the caption balloons for each language.
    Thank you for any assistance,
    denny

    Hi there
    Certainly you will be able to click File > Save As and save as all the different languages.
    After you do that, you need to open each respective file and click File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This action should create a Microsoft Word document that may then be opened and translated. Then it's saved back and you click File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions to change the verbiage to the desired language.
    Cheers... Rick

    so.on.Firstly and most importantly do NOT store dates as char columns: that's what the DATE type is for.
    Secondly, i'm not sure how you get your output from the input, particularly as your SQL contains 'partition by loc_name' which
    doesn't even exist in your example table.
    Why has the same name got two rows with those min/max times. Are you partitioning by val1?

  • How do I create a quiz with captivate 6.1 that can be loaded onto Moodle and scored?

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a simulation quiz based on a simulation the learner has previously seen. I need the learner to be be able to view the assessment in moodle and for them to get a score.
    How do I do this?

    Not really, good practice would have been to check the 3 possible Captures:
    Then you'll get automatically an Assessment. Compare the modes under Preferences, Recording, Modes to see the difference with your present software simulation. You can edit the software simulations to turn it into an Assessment but it is more work than capturing all at once (which would have resulted in 3 different cptx-files).
    Advanced Interaction panel can be opened with F9 or as an option under Project menu.

  • 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.

  • I have a button that opens a PDF that crashes Moodle and Scorm Cloud. How can I fix this?

    I'm using adobe Captivate 5.5
    I have a button that opens a PDF that crashes the course when in an LMS (I've tried moodle and scorm cloud). When I play the course in my browser, the file opens fine and the course continues. Does anyone know why opening this file doesn't work when I upload the SCORM package to an LMS?
    Thanks,

    Hi aperio_chris,
    Thank you for contacting adobe support.
    Please use the following steps and let us know if that helps:
    1. In the publish setting>>externalize resources>>check all the check box which are for attachment, widget, animation etc.
    2. Check the flash player version change it to version 9 or 10 when publishing the output through Adobe Captivate.

  • Has anyone used a touch screen monitor with scxi.I am having video lock ups while using LV and MAX

    I have a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 daq card (dev1) connected to a scxi-1000 chassis address 0 ID 1, with a scxi-1102,1163,1163,1162 slots 1,2,3,4 respectively.Cable is connected to daq card to 1102 card .Micro touch screen is used on com2. Have tried other serial ports 1,5. Touch screen works fine with windows until LabView and max is installed .Video lockups,Max failures occur.MAX seems to confict with touch screen.

    Max is the NI interface for all the drivers. It may be a specific driver that is causing problems, perhaps NI-VISA. I would try installing things one piece at a time. Might want to start by uninstalling everything so that you start with a clean system. First install LabVIEW with no drivers at all. See if the Micro touch screen still works. Then try installing NI-DAQ. Install each of the drivers you need one at a time. If you don't need something, leave it out.

  • Captivate with Flash and Audio Problem

  • Avg, Min and Max with a serious twist.....ASO

    Hi,
    I need to calc the Avg, Min and Max on Revenue. That's simple. However Every row of data the revenue falls into a bucket/range. For example revenue is in buckets '0 to 50' or '51 to 100' or '101 to 150' lets say. As I load data I load a '1' into a 'Count' measure depending on which bucket that row of data falls into. So I can get a total count for each bucket. So '0 to 50' might have a Count of 3. '51 to 100' might also have 3 and '101 to 150' has a 2. So my range count looks like:
    0 to 50 - 3
    51 to 100 - 3
    101 to 150 -2
    The trick is they only want the Avg, Min and Max on the rows that makeup the highest 'Count'. In this case that's 3. Problem is there are two ranges that meet this criteria. When that happens they want the Min, Max and Avg of the rows that make up the '51 to 100' bucket since it's the highest range.
    I can easily get the '3' by using the Max formula. So I know what the highest bucket is. Problem is I can't figure out for the life of me, how to pass only those rows that make up the '51 to 100' bucket into the Avg, Min and Max function.....
    I'm stumped and in dire need of something here. I have a spreadsheet that explains the problem better. If somehow I can get a flag on those rows I can easily Avg, Min and Max it. I just can't seem to figure out how to get a flag on only those rows of data.
    I'm willing to share my mocked up example and spreadsheet and .otl and sample data etc....

  • UK - 857 With BT ADSL MAX - Lines become unstable and router require FW upg

    Hi,
    We are starting to see a number of DSL MAX sites running 857 routers becoming unstable, constant loss of sync, re-authentications etc - sometimes up to 400 a day. We called out the Telco (BT) and they tested the line as OK and stable. After swapping the kit three times I spoke with TAC and they provided me with a newer version of the ATM Firmware (2.6.4) - This fixes the problem and stabilises the line.
    My question is - Has anyone else seen this problem in the UK? Are BT rolling out a code upgrade to their DSLAMs or changing some hardware? Is this likely to affect all UK DSL MAX connections in the near future?
    Andy.

    Andy,
    We've likewise seen issues with Cisco 870 routers on BT ADSL lines. I doubt that BT will do any upgrades to their DSLAMs as we've found them pretty unhelpful when it comes to DSL. We're currently rolling out a lot of 870s and I'm going to be upgrading firmware on all of them before deployment.
    Cheers,
    Neil

  • Min max lot size time based for use with SNP and PPDS

    Hi all, Is there anyway to set up time based min and max lot sizes? ie we want to have a Max lot size which is small for use with the first 3 months of our plan which starts life in SNP and then converts to PPDS and into blocks for block planning, but months 4 to 36 we want to leave as large max lot sizes as there is no need to have the small max lot sizes for the different horizon.
    As far as I can see there is only a material/plant lot size  and Max lot size and no way to have a different setting in a different time period.
    Thanks
    j

    Hi John,
    As you know, in the product master, the lot size maintenance is time-independent, so that obviously can not be used for your scenario. As per my understanding, to meet this using standard functionality, you can maintain multiple product specific t-lanes (for STRs) and PDSs (planned orders) with required lot size ranges and validity dates (for short or long term horizon). But, again since the validity of t-lanes and PDSs will not be automatically rolling forward so the updating the validities will be a challenge.
    The other option could be to enhance the heuristic functionality at lot size selection step while creating order.

    Umesh
