CS3 Learning Interaction & Plateau LMS

I created a Flash CS3 Learning Interaction and published it
as AICC to be launched through a Plateau LMS. The quiz launches
correctly but does not pass the score or completion status. Does
anyone know what the Activity ID and Activity Name should be for a
Plateau LMS? I tried it using the Item ID and the Content Object ID
already.
Thanks!

So you are trying to return the value of the text field
qresult?
vcheck.onRelease = function (){
trace (qresult.text);

Using Flash Learning Interactions in Captivate

Hi there,
I am developing a short practice quiz in Captivate, but for
one of the questions I want to use a Flash CS3 learning interaction
(the "Hot Spots" one). I get the Flash file built, import it into
Cpativate, and everything works.
Now for the big question - how do I get Captivate to track
the successful/unsuccessful action from this question in a quiz? I
want to present users with a results page at the end of the
practice quiz, but since this question is not built with a
Captivate question slide (like m/c, t/f, etc.), how can I track the
result and include it on the results slide at the end?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hi J and welcome to our community
There is no way (back door or otherwise) that I'm aware of to
do this. Unless, of course, you mean to use Flash 8 and export the
Flash in a version 6 format.
Hopefully we will see Flash 8 files working just dandy in
Captivate version 2.
Cheers... Rick

Problem with Button in Learning Interaction

I have created a Flash file with 4 "Fill in the Blank" questions (from the Learning Interactions continued within Flash CS3) at the end. I'm then using the swf file in two different ways. One way simply loads the swf file onto a 'stand-alone' page on my website and it works perfectly.
The other way I want to use it is integrated into a more complicated website where I have a Flash File into which various swf files are loaded when needed. In this version the "Control Button" doesn't change to "Check Answer" and "Reset" as it should and the whole question doesn't work.
The working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Chemical_Resources/Name_Isomers_Alkanes.html
Select "4 For You to Try" to go directly to Quiz Questions.
The non-working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Reaction_Pathways/New_Reaction_Pathways.html
Go to "Extras" in Menu and select Naming Alkane Isomers, then "4 For You to Try" again.
I'm using ActionScript2 and set for Player 9.

Yes, my original technique was to upload the Parent SWF to a folder and then the HTML widget on my webpage would load the file from that location. As you say, all the daughter swf's had to be uploaded into the folder created for that webpage when iWeb uploads my website to MobileMe. This has worked fine for all my other daughter swf's but (I'm presuming) there is something about the Learning Interaction that doesn't let it work this way.
The other disadvantage of doing it that way is that anytime I tweak the original webpage and iWeb uploads the changes, it recreates the page folder minus all my daughter swf's and I have to upload them manually again.
What I've now done is uploaded all the daughter swf's to the same folder as the Parent and added a full web address to this folder in all my loadMovie commands in the Parent swf. Done this way, the swf with the Learning Interaction works as intended.
Many thanks for taking the time and interest to help.

Learning Interactions not working in Chrome

This is my first time using Captivate (8.01). My problem is that 3 widgets/learning interactions are not working when viewed in Chrome. It is a responsive project. They work fine in Safari.
Would greatly appreciate any information about how I can fix this. Thanks.

Yes. Jeopardy, Process Circle and Millionaire. I did find out (through a nice, long -and helpful -chat with Adobe support) that these interactions will work on the Chrome browser when accessed from an LMS. I needed to send them out to reviewers because I didn't have access to an LMS. I just defaulted and asked them to use a different browser.
Thanks for replying and offering to help.

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks
Warwick

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

Elearning suite to Learning Management System (LMS) - how-to from an InDesign file?

We need to be able to export InDesign files to a portable SCORM format that could be loaded into various Learning Management Systems (LMS) – however, it is not obvious how we would do this? We need to publish our documents both in a book\PDF format and to various LMS systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, Angel, Desire2Learn, etc.
What am I trying to accomplish? Many of our College and University clients use Learning Management Systems (LMS). SCORM is a standardized interchange format used to provide internet ready information (e-book data, test questions, etc.) to any LMS systems. We need to export formatted InDesign documents – which for us are our Lab Manual (book) publications which include: text, graphics, pictures, etc.
Adobe advertises SCORM compatibility as part of its e-learning suite: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elearningsuite/els/extensions/WSD40882CF-6 C5C-46c0-8D51-273830EB036B.html --- however, I cannot find anyone who can tell me how to get there from InDesign.
In addition, I find it very frustrating that after many calls to Adobe sales and technical staff that I can't find anyone who can help me with the details of how to get from InDesign to Adobe's "SCORM Packager" See: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/01/scorm_packager.html which I believe is a part of the e-learning suite.
Is it possible to find a high level technical resource within Adobe that I could talk to who could help me with this issue --- we need to test the ability to produce SCORM compatible files from our InDesign files before we can make a purchase decision.

Adobe's Multi SCORM Packaging tool is designed to take existing single SCORM packages (in zip file format) and merge them into a multi SCORM package with a rewritten imsmanifest.xml file at the root level to tell the LMS what the package contains. This allows the LMS to build the array of links that its SCORM player requires to allow the course user to navigate from one module to another.
So if InDesign is not currently capable of creating even a single SCO SCORM package, the Adobe Multi-SCORM Packaging tool is not going to be much use to you.
In reality, the Adobe tool is quite limited in functionality. It's more designed as an add-on for Captivate to allow multi-SCORM courses to be created. Your best bet would probably be to investigate other SCORM packaging tools such as RELOAD that allow you to take content created elsewhere and add them to a SCORM package as resources.
You may need to export your InDesign content as PDF files and have these set up as individual resources or assets in the SCORM package.
However, for any of this to work with an LMS is going to require the final package to have a SCORM API (done with JavaScript) so that user interaction with the individual components of the course is relayed back to the LMS via JavaScript variables. Packaging tools such as RELOAD may be able to do this with some types of content (e.g. HTML) but I don't know if InDesign output is going to be compatible with this approach.
Have you designed your InDesign course content with interactivity in mind, or is it just straight content delivered in a documentation format?

Learning interaction 2001: better feature than 2004, but why?

The 2001 Drag and Drop learning interaction will give an array based on your instance names, when you request SessionArray[1].student_response.
This is very usefull as a set of results to export.
The 2004 Drag and Drop learning interaction will give a list like this {1.a,2.b,3.c,4.d,5.e,6.f}, as an exported set of results
Why was the 2001 feature changed, it was brillent! Is there any way I can work round it, as I really need something more than {1.a,2.b,3.c,4.d,5.e,6.f}. I can't use the old version as I need to export at version 8 or above.

Sorry, yes I am.
The learning components that come with Flash. I'm using CS3. They have been very helpful in allowing a nice looking quiz, but I need results in more detail than "this person scored 80%"

Component Learning Interactions

Anybody familiar to this component and want to help me
out?:-) I am trying to make an online quiz with this, but since I
am norwegian and working with flash 8 (yes, I a about to upgrade to
cs4 in the near future) and the norwegian alphabet has specific
characters...is it possible to change the languag in the component?
Appreciate an answer:-)

Hi Conrad!
As you have no doubt already realized, using the Learning
Interaction templates that are available in Flash MX / MX2004 and 8
will not work at all in Presenter content.
The coding methods conflict while playing back within the
Breeze environment and I
think it has to do with the _dropTarget property as part of
the interaction's codebase. The _dropTarget method is NOT supported
in Breeze, but the hitTest() method IS!
I have written a few drag and drop exercises that do work
within Breeze content, and you have to use the hitTest() method to
accomplish it.
As you already have discovered, the bottom line is that the
learning components were intended to be "stand alone" objects that
could be incorporated into a web page (or even a CD as these
objects are nothing more than swf files). Aside from the fact that
the prebuilt/preconfigured learning objects in flash don't always
work in Breeze, in my mind, the bigger question here is the ability
(or more accurately) the inability to connect these SCO's to an LMS
for tracking. As stand alone objects, they're actually pretty
handy...but not in Breeze.
I realize this doesn't help much with what you're trying to
do, but from my perspective, you're better off creating your own
drag n' drops.
I've got a bunch of examples to share if you'd like to take a
look...just send me a PM or email if you're interested.

Plateau LMS

Hi,
I published a couple of lessons to the Plateau LMS using
Captivate 2 but it neither bookmarks or records. What do I have to
enable in order to make this happen?
Recording is more important than bookmarking, even if the
student cannot bookmark, it would be nice for the student to go
through the lessons as more of a review rather than taking it for
the first time again.

Hi,
I too have bookmarking issues with the Plateau LMS 5.5 and
C2. The scenario: The learner fails the assessment and leaves the
training. At a later time, the learner returns to retake the
assessment. The bookmarking will return the learner to the quiz
summary page, effectively skipping all of the question slides. THIS
ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE LEARNER RETURNS TO THE QUIZ THE FIRST TIME.
Subsequent visits place the learner at the beginning of the quiz
and the assessment executes as expected.
When the failed quiz is revisited it is safe to assume that
the learner wants to retake it. Is there a setting I am missing to
return the user to the beginning of the quiz every time, or is this
a "feature" of the Plateau LMS...
Thanks!

Flash learning interactions, what am i doing wrong

Hi all
everytime after i modify and then save and publish a learning
interaction...... i get a standard error message and flash shuts
down. also none of the modifications i make save...... how do you
save the the modifcations made to a learning interaction ? one i am
in the component inspector and i make changes to the Learning
interaction...... where do i go to save it, there is nothing in the
component inspector and paramters that points to saving..... so i
have been saving the fla as normal... eg under file menu 'save
as'... i then test the movie and get nothing.
Can anyone help ?

Dave,
> I have a Flash 8 FLVPlayback component on stage, with
> an instance name of 'vid'. In a frame script I have:
>

> vid.play();
The FLVPlayback class does not feature a setMedia() method,
that I can
see. According to the docs, FLVPlayback "wraps"
mx.video.VideoPlayer. Not
sure if that means "inherits," but assuming for sake of
argument that it
does, the VideoPlayer class does not faeture a setMedia()
method, either.
Unfortunately, the docs get a bit cryptic at this point, IMO.
The FLVPlayer
Component has a contentPath property, as you mentioned, but I
don't see the
same property in either of the aforementioned classes.
Perhaps something in the inheritance chain provides for a
FLVPlayback.setContent property. I see references to a
mx.video.NCManager
class, but can't seem to find that class reference anywhere.
If you can do without the FLVPlayer Component, you may just
want to use
a Video object to load your external FLV.

How Can I Remove Tabs That I Added in a Learning Interaction Widget?

Hello, I inserted a "Tabs" Learning Interaction widget into a Captivate 8 project I'm working on. Adding tabs is easy enough by simply hitting the plus button. But when I want to remove a tab, I can't for the life of me determine how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

When you double-click on a Tab button in the Interaction Properties, you'll see a minus sign that will allow you to delete that tab. Beware: you need a minimum of at least 2 tabs, maximum is 5 tabs.

Captivate 8: Learning Interactions.

How can I:
1). Add additional options to "Millionaire" like in "Jigsaw". I am working with multiple-choice questions that have 5 options but "Millionaire" only allows 4. Working with "Jigsaw", I can add options but cannot with "Millionaire".
2). Attach images to questions and correct/incorrect boxes in "Millionaire" and "Jigsaw". Some questions have diagrams.
3). Attach audio to questions and correct/incorrect boxes in "Millionaire" and "Jigsaw".
4). Print certificate widget after "Millionaire" and "Jigsaw".

Double post, is also in the Advanced section.
Learning interactions are canned, you cannot change more than what is provided. Create your own interactions if you want to do that.
None of those game learning interactions will take the score from the game itself, score attached to it will be given if the game has been played (even for only a limited time).
