Complete course

I have enough experience with Captivate 8. I want to build a complete course (preferably with some Mathematics) for undergraduates.
I expect this to take up to a year.
Before I commit myself to such a task I would like to know if there is any such course written with Captivate.
Complete means that this software course can be used as a substitute of a teacher. It must cover all material (like a course)
and teach the student .
If anybody knows such a program, I will appreciate it if he let me know it.
Thank you very much
S. Persidis

Dear Mrs Lilybiri,
I know that you are an expert on Captivate and eLearning, but I disagree completely with your answer.
Certainly, a good teacher cannot be substituted by a computer course. That is obvious, but what about the cost? Do you realize that (at college level) a computer course for a year will cost as much as a teacher for one day? Do you realize that many people do not go to a university because they cannot afford it?
Up to now, I think there is no such complete course, but we can build one. Look at a first-year curriculum of a university and will see some basic courses that can be used as prototypes. Certainly, the first attempt will not succeed, but experience will show the way.
I am trying to build such a course on Calculus. I have written the five chapters out of eight. I will let you know, if I have your email.
In any case, thank you for your answer. You are the only one who understood the essence of my question.

Preventing learners enrolling a second time on a completed course

Hi
We have a popular course that some learners seem to want to enrol on and complete multiple times. Is there any way of preventing this?
Ideally I want to set a prequisite that the learner has not completed the course. There are too many learners to use the learner access option and I cannot use organisation, job or position as there are no rules that I can apply.
Any ideas?
Pip

Hi Pip,
This is a new one which I have never heard before!
- unfortunately I can't think of any solution...

Relaunching a completed course in Captivate 5.5 - endless "Loading"

I recently upgraded to 5.5. I've created a course in 5.5 which included a quiz and a seperate final exam and placed it on our LMS. All is working fine except that when a user successfully completes the requirement (course + final) and tries to re-open the course later they get stuck in this endless loop showing a loading animation. The course never loads. In another forum I found this issue first came up with Captivate 5, but was allegedly addressed in 5.5. The suggested fix was to remove any quiz slides from the course and force a "republish all slides" . I've done this. I've also cleared my cache and tried using Firefox (instead of IE8.) I now have several learners trying to revisit the course who are unable to acces the content. The LMS folks won't address this as it is a"known Captivate issue" and I agree with them as it is documented. Question: Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause and the fix? I am up a tree here - HELP. Thanks is advance. FYI: swearing at it has not helped...yet.

I think I figured out a solution. 1. Elimated all quiz questions from within the presentation. (I substiuted my own questions instead of using the Captivate templates.) 2. Changed th LMS customiziation settings within Captivate by clicking on "Never send resume data". 3. Forced a republish all slides when publisshing the project and zipping it. 4. In the LM course settings, when asked what to set "reopen the project in the review mode" - I select NO.
It has been tested on our LMS and seems to work. Not sure if all steps are necessary but these seem to work. Good enough for me.

Another SCORM prob: courses don't always register as 'Complete'

I have a problem with SCORM courses not registering as 'Complete' on our LMS. I know that I'm in good company here; I've scoured the forums for a solution to my problem and I've found plenty of other content authors struggling with similar issues. I've put a few of the solutions to the test, with fingers crossed, but I'm still stuck. I think I have a unique flavour of this popular problem.
We're using Captivate 4 to build courses for our Cornerstone OnDemand Business Edition LMS. We've had our LMS live for just over a month, and the majority of the 500 employees of my organization have been into the system, racking up 3200 completed courses. Our learners are using either Firefox or IE, and are split between Macs and Windows boxes.
About 5% of the time, though, our users complain of a phenomenon where they get "locked" at the last slide and the course stays stuck 'in progress'. For weeks I hadn't been able to reproduce the problem myself, but after 10+ runs through a course on various machines I finally witnessed it, and I'm certain it's not user error.
Originally we had our SCORM preferences set up to measure slide views, but in the process of trying to eliminate this problem I redesigned the courses to measure things a little bit differently: now we're assigning one quiz point to every click box that our learners must click to advance to the next slide, and I stripped out the navigation buttons from the Flash skin.
Report status: pass/fail
Report to LMS as: score
Choose report data: Quiz results only
Reporting Level: Interactions and score
Pass fail options: 80%
If failing grade: infinate attempts
LMS customization settings: Escape version and session ID checked
When I look at the details for courses that get stuck in this limbo, zero points are recorded, even though the user clicked through every slide and got checkmarks on all chapters. With the old percentage-viewed setup, the details would report 0% viewed. The problem persists even if the user relaunches the course and moves through every slide again. The only way to get people out of "in progress" limbo is to manually override the completion status as an LMS admin.
This problem seems to be tied to the phenomenon where the last slide "freezes" and where the X button on the nav bar, and the close button for the window become unresponsive. When it happened to me the window finally closed after repeated clicks of the window's close button.
So what's the deal? This seems to happen to courses that are set to "stop" at the end, and courses that have auto-close enabled. Is this a problem with the javascript that executes the close command? Is it actually a SCORM thing after all? Did I make a wizard angry at me in a past life, and I am stuck with a curse for the rest of my days?
Thanks!

Hello,
Not using the same LMS, thus... But by trial and error mostly I get to have SCORM-assessments working: learned never to use 'Pass/Fail' but always 'Complete/Incomplete'. Why: even if the user has a freezing last slide (which happens sometimes here too), the score is passed to the LMS except perhaps the score of the last slide. So I take care not to have anything scored on this last slide. It is not really a complete solutions but in 99% of the cases everything works as I want it to work, so keep my fingers crossed.

LSO - Course follow-up when participant was absent

Hi all,
Is there a config in IMG that I have to look at to have an automatic cancellation of a booking when following up a participant that was absent.
Currently, our system does not cancel participation as part of a course follow up when we rate the student as absent. Therefore, the course still shows up in that participants ESS portal under completed courses even though he did not attend.
Ideally, what I am looking for would be to automatically cancel the student with a reason code of absent.

Hi Steve,
Please check the IMG
Training & Event Managementl --> Employee Self Service >Business Ad Ins (BADIs) for ESS> BAdI: Set Up Customer-Specific Attendance Cancellation Reason
This will clarify your Query.

Creating video transitions on completion

Hi there
I'm creating an Interactive DVD with many speakers and videos. Each presentation is up to an hour long and has been cut up into it's chapters. I'm using a combo box to select the chapters by creating an action sequence, and on select changing the source of the video. I need the the first video to begin autoplaying and jump to the next video upon completion and if a different chapter is selected, the next video to play after that one's completion. I have tried many different ways but can't find a way to do this. I have tried settin a delay with a new source but to no luck.
I have only recently started using Flash Catalyst and have no experience with Flash Builder (if it is an option)
Creating a different state for each video isn't an option either since there are 27 speakers with about 60 chapters each.
Any help/advice/link to tutorials is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Darren

Hi Darren,
For what you are doing, I would really recommend using Adobe Encore CS5 instead of Catalyst.
Encore can handle up-to 99 timelines and can export a complete Flash user experience from within it's environment.
You can program timeline end actions, transitions etc.
Here is a link to a complete course on Lynda.com that shows you how to create a Flash website/DVD/CD using Encore.

I hope this helps you.

Any tips on releasing course content in stages to membership?...

Hey,
Anyone got any good tips on a simple way to set up the following scenario....
Scenario: Client has a 14 Module course (just documents) that the students complete 1 at a time and submit back for assessment.
Only thing is the client doesnt want the students to have access to all the 14 doucments once they pay for the course.
They just get Module 1, and access to Module 2 etc once prior Module is assessed.
Im guessing its a mix of secure zones, CRM wirth cases, and possibly set up as web app?

This will definitely require secure zones to block access to content for non-students but have you thought about using a gamification service like http://www.badgeville.com or a similar service to help you setup leaderboards and prizes? You could set it up so that a prize for answering a level 1 course opens up level 2 courses, etc.
If you don't want to use gamification services to setup reward content (courses) based on completion of other courses then your best BC only option is to use some javascript so that when they complete a course (that's in a secure zone of course) you can set a cookie that says they completed "x" course and then if the cookie is present that they completed a course to show links to the next course.
You could also probably use web apps and create a "Completed Courses" web app and everytime they complete a test you can hide a web form that creates a web app item for a user that stores the information for the course they completed. Instead of using cookies you could base your javascript function to show new courses based on the presence of this web app item if you use the module to list their submitted web app items.

CP4- Compiling 20 slides into one course issue

I am compiling 20 separate captivate courses into one course using Adobe Captivate 4.0
When I try and import slides into the complete course it does not import the correct type of captions. The captions revert to the standard adobe blue caption.
I compiled this way fine with Captivate 3.
Is there a way to compile my individual Captivate course into one and keeping the same captions.

Hi,
Just wondering if you dont have to make any changes to your master course (20 courses compiled), then you can make use of Aggregator feature of Captivate. It should not also create the text caption problem as it aggregates individual published movies.

LSO-Course Registration

Hi,
How to register completed course into SAP. Please help.
Example. There is a course Type in Course catalog same Course type Learner attended in out side of the organization. Now we want to register the course is completed by this person or user. How to register.
Regards,
Sushma

Hi
As I mentioned in my previous message, since you already have same Course Type (Same as outside Course type) in your system you may consider doing following:
1. Underneath of the course type which is available in your system create a course with the same dates as your employee attended outside course.
2. Book the employee for that course, Firmly book the course and follow up the course to transfer the qualification to employee's master data.
For reporting purpose, you can use Description Infotype at Course Type Level (for ex: creating a Subtype or whichever way you want you can use it or you can have a custom relationship)
Close the thread if your problem solved. let me know if you still need any help on this issue.

Superimpose one existing jpg photo onto another so it looks like a double exposure

Hi, I'm brand new to these forums & to Photoshop Elements. I have an older version 2.0.2 which Adobe no longer supports. I'm not in a position to upgrade. So, I'm begging for help.
I scanned two old photos and saved them to jpg files. I want to create one photo that has both images in it (like they do in some school & wedding photos where the full main image is center or slightly off center and a head shot is up in one corner.
I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense, as I said, I'm brand new to this and I just don't know the proper terminology. I tried using help and following the instructions for layering. Only problem with that was when it said click on "move", I didn't know where move was. Plus it looks like layering wouldn't be transparent (but what do I know?). Anyway, I hope someone will take pity on a newbee and walk me thru this. Thank you!!

There are lots of ways to fix grainy pics. It all depends on the particular case. You might want to post yours at the free service http://www.pixentral.com (the one I used for my example). After you upload the pic, copy its pixentral url and put it in your message. I and other reader of this forum would be happy to offer suggestions.
There are also many downloadable noise reduction tools, some of which are stand-alone and some PSE add-ons. I have had good results with Noiseware. A free version is available at http://www.imagenomic.com/
As to internet tutorials, the best I've seen is Jay Arraich's PSE Tips at http://www.arraich.com/elements/psE_intro.htm
Other good ones are:
about.com tutorials and resources -
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/Photoshop_Elements_Tutorials_and_User_Resource s.htm
Janee's tutorials -
http://myjanee.home.insightbb.com/tutorials.htm
I really think you should get a book on PSE2. Even though version 2 is out-of-date you can still find version 2 books online. I just did a Amazon book search on "photoshop elements 2" and it returned a ton of hits; the first was "Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 Complete Course". I also found some at eBay at rock-bottom prices.

Need some project titles that can be done in java servlets and jsp or ejb

I am final year cs engg student. I have completed course in java,j2ee. I have done the library management project in servlet. I need some project titles for my final year project. My interests includes, networking, desktop applications.

I'm not sure how to help other than to advise you will probably have the best success with something that interests you personally. You mention desktop applications and networking. Perhaps start with something Swing (or JavaFX) and perhaps use that to monitor a network, detect intrusions, dynamically load balance, etc. Really, it's whatever will stimulate you through a long project.

Mx database problem

I am pretty new to Dreamweaver MX, I do pretty well with the
static pages, but now want to develop my site, so am doing some
training in databases. I am having nightmare problems trying to
connect Dreamweaver MX to an access database that is part of a
tutorial in a book, Dreamweaver MX 2004, Complete Course by Joyce J
Evans. I have followed the text to the letter and am getting the
following message:
Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to display live
data. Please double check your site configuration or click on help
for more information on how to correct this problem. (HTTP error:
12029).
I do not have a problem searching for this, I have googled
and yahooed for two days, and have tried everything that I can
find:
- disable the firewall - nothing
- try :8080 after the localhost setting - nothing
- try :8500 after the localhost setting - nothing
I am using the settings:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DatabaseChapter\ this is the location to
store the files - and I have downloaded the database chapter as per
the book.
http://localhost/databasechapter/
this is the root of the site, this is where I have added :8080 and
:8500 - still nothing
When I click on test the URL here, this is where I am getting
the error message.
I also have WAMP installed, but this is not running when I am
trying to get this set up, although I did try alternate settings
and tried connecting with PHP and the database chapter set up in
the root folder of WAMP rather than Inetpub.
Can anyone please help me??? I am getting really frustrated
and do not know where to go from here. After emailing the writer of
the book, Joyce, she suggested I try these forums.
Thanks!!

Where are you adding the :8080? It should be immediately
after localhost
like this:
http://localhost:8080/databasechapter/
For IIS to listen on port 8080, you need to configure it to
do so:
Start > Control Panel >Administrative Tools >
Internet Information Services.
Expand the folder tree in the left panel, and right-click on
Default Web
Site.
Choose the Web Site tab, and enter 8080 in the TCP Port
field. Click OK.
For the change to take effect you need to restart IIS. Start
> Control
Panel >Administrative Tools > Services. Highlight IIS
Admin and click
Restart Service.

After reading through your other posts (most in Snow Leopard 10.6 area) and issues
remain, you may have to consider making a complete backup of your user folder &
account info, and any saved or created content, from your computer to an external
device, drive, clone or other means of archiving off of the computer.
{Read through to the end, since not any one idea is the complete course of action.}
Then, when you have saved and verified as retrievable said contents, get your
stuff together and totally wipe the computer's hard disk drive, zero content, use
Disk Utility on booted Install DVD and choose a partition map, then reformat to
HFS+; and install a new system on a wiped clean hard disk drive. Update it.
Then migrate your previous user account into the Mac.
If the problem(s) in your computer which go back over months, are not resolved
by attacking their source or cause, they will be masked by other activity which may
not solve their root cause. Could be just a matter of corruption in a User account.
If the problem is in a user account, an Archive & Install (if space exists in HDD)
may bring in the problem to a new system.
Since the problem goes back to November 2010 in some form or another, this
job may include extensive review of what maintenance you perform regularly
to keep the computer running healthy; like: what you do, when, why, etc.
Perhaps it is time to actually restore full original function to the computer, and
hope the process will tell you if the hard disk drive or other component is failing.
A too full hard disk drive, or corruption of the content on the hard disk drive, can
cause slowness and other things to grind to a halt. You may need to boot from
the Installer disc and run Disk Utility from there, and have it Verify the HDD, and
if there is an issue, see if the utility can Repair the hard disk drive. If it can't, then
you may have to get a third-party disk utility such as DiskWarrior, on disc media.
If you have and use an externally enclosed hard disk drive unit with a chipset
controller within it to allow Mac OS X booting from that unit, then you can make
a full computer content clone (to a large external HDD) large enough to have
more than one partition so you can have more than one bootable clone on there
and also use it as a backup/storage for stuff on another partition in that drive.
You can get a great and free-running clone utility from Bombich software; it is
called Carbon Copy Cloner, a download. And get/use an externally enclosed
hard disk drive, one that is self-powered (not computer-bus powered) to do it.
Even starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, if it will, (shift key held down
on start up, wait while holding the key down, until a startup dialog box appears
to be sure you are really getting into SafeBoot; it may take 10 minutes) and
then when in SafeBoot, run Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' on the Mac HD
and when that's done, quit Disk Utility. Check the amount of used capacity of
the computer's hard disk drive against the total amount it had when new, and
note or write down the numbers. When done, restart the Mac normally.
You can also look into Activity Monitor (utility) to see what, if anything, is using
the computer's resources when the machine is running slower than expected,
and this can tell you what Apps and system bits are using Virtual Memory
(hard disk drive space used for swap files and temporary in/out memory) and
this is where free space available to the OS X is critical. This may be part of
the problem, if the hard disk drive is TOO full for the system & apps to work.
Hopefully this helps somewhat, and that someone else will have better ways
of writing shortcuts. I did not add outside links to this post, it is long enough...
Good luck & happy computing!
