Free hosting for Captivate projects

I am a student in instructional design and I want to create an online portfolio to showcase some of my e-learning modules. Does anyone know of a free hosting service where I can upload Captivate project (HTML or SWF)?
thanks

You can try to use Scorm Cloud where you can upload published zipped output from Captivate, In order to do that you have to enable the reporting of your module within Captivate.

Setting up Version Management (Git, SVN) for Captivate Projects

I'm guessing the answer is No, but I thought I would ask:
Is there any way to set up some kind of Version Management/Source Code management for a Captivate project?
Currently, I just have a bunch of nearly identical cptx files with some kind of naming convention so that I can tell which one is which. If I need to revert something, I have to hope that I made a "Save As" at the right point in time. If I need to work with a colleague, there is no straight-forward way to review the changes that she made.
Adobe Captivate is basically a speciallized IDE with some additional graphical stuff. Having some kind of version control tool, especially if it were Git, would be very helpful both for my personal productivity as well as for managing collaboration with my colleagues.

So far the only WOW version control i have found is AlienBrain but i have a better chance of being struck by lightning on a clear summer day than ever owning it.

A promising solution is Razuna http://razuna.org/whatisrazuna but I havent "project tested" it yet to see how well it will work while developing in a team enviroment.
Something i doubt i will ever find is a solution to "show the difference" in a file similar to how WinMerge http://winmerge.org/ shows the difference in files or compairison of folder directories.
It would be nice to be able to compare two (or more) captivate files slide by slide with syncronised scrolling to note differences.
Seems like most people are pretty quiet about what they use for version management.

Free LMS for Captivate ?

Is there a free/open source LMS that works well with captivate-exported scorm packages?
How is captivate created content frequently used ?
a) export it to a web and use it in a website without LMS ?
b) export it to scorm and use it in a LMS ?
It is disappointing that Adobe does not provide a LMS to complete the e-Learning picture
thanks

Hi,
Illias, moodle (already mentioned) and A-tutor are just three of the many open-source SCORM-capable LMS that have popped up. Moodle seems to be more popular due to ease of installation, and the variety of modules/add-ons that allow you to really customize your installation. Illias is very good, great for larger institutions, but is definately more complicated to install, configure and support - Although it has many fans, I've not installed A-tutor, so although I know it is also PHP/MySQL-based like the others, and it seems simple enough, I can't speak directly to its supportability.
If you're going to use 1.2 SCORM, they are all good choices, but I do believe Illias support for SCORM 2004 seems to be better than Moodle, but I've gotten that information second-hand, so take it for what it's worth.
It really depends on the needs of your organization, how big it is, how much control you want over content, and what resources you have to maintain and support your Distance Learning effort.
Good luck.

Once i publish a captivate projects, where can i host

I see that I can publish to HTML5, is there a hosting platform for captivate projects?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can use a learning management system (LMS) to distribute a computer-based tutorial created using Adobe Captivate over the Internet. A learning management system is used to provide, track, and manage web-based training.The project that you upload to the LMS must be compliant with the SCORM, AICC standards, or Tin Can API.If you do not want to use a Learning Management System (LMS) for tracking the quiz scores, Adobe Captivate provides you with alternate reporting options.You can now choose an internal web server as your reporting servers.

Rajeev.

Free web hosting for PHP Oracle 10g XE applications

Hi guys
I am a student currently completing my final year project of a BSc Information Systems / Computer Science programme. I am using PHP and Oracle 10g XE and I was hoping that someone could advise me on a good web hosting site for student applications that is available at no cost, since I can't afford to pay for hosting. It is important that I host my site because my university tutor (in the UK) needs to access my site and provide feedback at this point in the project. Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

Just to let everyone know, i will do free hosting for students needing it for there projects, i will need an academic email address for corespodence, so thats a .edu or .ac.uk for example.
I have just relaunched the website and slashed my prices, so starter packages are from 2.99 a month for oracle and php. www.phporaclehosting.com
Any questions reply to this thread

How to Host completed Captivate 5 Content

I thought completed Captivate 5 Content could be hosted on Acrobat.com. I see how to upload and share content for reviews. I have attempted to upload a project and all that I see will upload is a zip and pdf file but not cptx. I thought the option would exist to upload a completed project for a learning and that Acrobat.com would offer a link that would launch the project.
I would prefer to share the swf content and not a pdf as not all of our users have Acrobat Reader 9.
Is it possible to host a captivate project in Acrobat.com so I can have learners use the content? If so how?
I also thought the cptx files would upload but do not see it in my Acrobat.com account.
My intent is create short 5 to 10 minute demonstrations of software for training and to also develop more comprehensive Lessons. The Acrobat.com LMS will work for my needs.

Hello,
Thank you for posting. At this time, it is not possible to preview Captivate content in Acrobat.com; you can certainly upload the files and share them, but they will not be viewable within the Acrobat.com environment. As Adobe Reader is free software, you may want to recommend that your intended audience download it from the Adobe site:
http://get.adobe.com/reader
It only takes a minute, and will help you distribute your content with Acrobat.com from within a PDF (although, to be clear, the PDF will have to be downloaded and viewed in Reader or Acrobat for your embedded .swf file to play).
If you have further questions, please let me know and I will be happy to answer them for you.
Best,
Rebecca

Do I need a Connect Pro account? If so will I need a Meeting Account such as the one for $55/month that is available for a single host. I worked with one of the large teleconferance providers and they seemed to think I needed a Connect Pro Account with Presentation enabled and Author with no Meeting. Look like this would upload content only.
Or is Screencast.com an option?
My intent is create short 5 to 10 minute demonstrations of software for training and to also develop more comprehensive Lessons. The Acrobat.com LMS will work for my needs.

Thank you Mark,
I do like the way Connect Pro allows the training to start without a download. Will the Meeting and Presenter component that can be purchased for $55 per month work? The limit of 100 is not a problem for us. To me this is a better option than screencast.com and at this time, we do now want to set up an ftp server.

What is included in the free hosting from CC subscription?

Hi,
I've got a CC subscription so I'm aware that I get free hosting for up to 5 sites however I saw today that it only includes WebBasic sites however I can not find the information to what that includes. I have searched on the forums and I have found likes but all seem to be outdated and have changed.
I'm using Muse to produce the site in order to promote my work as a student graphic designer for jobs and interns so I will have picture galleries (Muse widget), a contact form and wish it to be phone and tablet compatible.
Thanks for any help in advance

Hi Phil,

Is Captivate right for this project?

I am quite familiar with PS, AI, DW, etc., but learned about Captivate today while doing research on presentation authoring software for an upcoming project at work.
I am hoping someone here can tell me whether or not Captivate is a good fit for the project.
We are re-doing a training program. It is a very simple software training program. It is a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. It has an auto-start/run feature so that it starts up and opens to the main menu upon insertion into a computer. There is a dvd-like menu so that the student can skip around to different sections on the disc. Once a selection is made, a QuickTime video (we don't insist on using QuickTime, in fact some of our students have trouble installing it on their cpu's) plays. The video is surrounded by a frame that includes playback controls (fast-forward, rewind, pause, etc), the company logo, the currenly playing section number and disc, and Menu, Previous, and Next buttons. The videos in the past have been nothing but screen captures with voice overs, but we would like to incorporate PowerPoint-ish slides into the videos if it can be done without having to pay someone to edit the video, as that's not in the budget for this product.
The contractor that did the last one for us is a great trainer, but produced a lower-quality product than we like. I suspect he used a free or very cheap program.
Your thoughts? Does this seems like a project for Captivate?
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
It sounds like this can be achieved in Captivate. Can I ask which version of Captivate you are using?
Captivate allows you to insert FLV videos (or AVI) so you could definetly do the video part without too much trouble. The menu can also be developed in Captivate and it's also possible to publish the entire project to a CD/DVD.
You wouldn't be able to add Powerpoint slides into the videos by using Captivate so you would need to find some form of videoediting program instead.

Using my MacBook Pro as the host for projection to my TV via AppleTV?

Can I subscribe to HBOGO thru Apple TV and avoid cable service using my MacBook Pro as the host for projecting to my TV via AppleTV?S

Possibly.
Some sites such as TMN GO which is similar will not allow mirroring to take place.
It works for about a minute then shuts down... Security settings from the site.

QA checklist for a Captivate project?

Does anyone have a list of things to check for when reviewing
a Captivate project that someone else created, in other words, a
Quality Assurance checklist?

Written down? No. But that is an awesome idea. Here's some things I check for:
Are all the captions the same color, same font, same alignment (Captivate likes to throw curve balls sometimes. Not sure why.)
Do all the buttons, click boxes work how they are supposed to? (Test everything. Back and forth again and again)
Does each slide just look nice, symmetrical, plenty of white space, not to cluttered?
Does the audio sync up with the captions or graphics being used?
Can you think of any way to spice up the module by adding graphics, animations, or audio, voice or music?
Are the hightlight boxes and other pointers noticeable? (You'd be surprised what the designer sees compared to what the user sees.)
Does it flow? Does it feel like you are just going through it or are there random thoughts or tangents thown in that need deleted or reorganized?
Hope that gets you started.

I need to clarify how I can use adobe as a host for my site for free. I see where business catalyst is supposed to be temporary as well as it is recommended to use as the better alternative to launch my muse site. But then I have to use the long extension of "businesscatalyst" in addition to the domain name I'd prefer. How exactly can I take it live? do I have to use a third party hosting?

Hi,
Once you are done with your sitet, Click on Publish in Muse, select New Site from the drop down, It will ask you a name for your site, which will be used for site url, you will get a url like mysite.businesscatalyst.com, then go to the browser and login to the admin panel, mysite.businesscatalyst.com/admin and on Dashboard, click Launch site. This will push your site live, and you can then add your custom domain.
Also make sure that you have completed all these actions mentioned here

What is the largest "manageable" size for a captivate project? (I think I've passed it)

Problem:
It used to take perhaps 5 minutes for the Captivate software to open and the project to actually load. Now, Captivate loads (menu screen) but the project does not open - it just sits there. When I close the software it asks if I want to save changes to my project, as if it had opened.
Background:
The captivate project that is roughly 260MB. This is after having copied and pasted all the slides to a new project to reduce the file size (several times) -- because of unexplainable ballooning of the file size. I am using a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.35 GHZ processor with 4GB or RAM.
Questions:
What is the largest manageable file size for a project?
Is there a limit to the number of slides a project can contain (i.e., 200)?
What can I do to get my project to actually open?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi there
Normally we advise that a Captivate project should fall into somewhere between 50-65 slides as a general upper limit. Occasionally reaching as high as 100 to *MAYBE* 120 slides. Depending on a number of factors.
Cheers... Rick

Creating audio for another Captivate project

I am using Captivate v5.5
I have been asked to create the audio for a project that is being created by another person in our organisation.
They will send me a word document with the script - slide by slide.
As I do not have any other means of recording audio on my pc, my initial thought was to create a blank project in Captivate v5.5 and name and export each slide audio to a folder and then pass these on in order that they can import them to their project.
I am in UK and the project owner is in Switzerland - just FYI.
Does that sound like the best way or is there a smarter way?
Thanks in advance
Noel

Hi katwebwitch and welcome to our community
I know this doesn't really help your situation, but when you
choose to import slides from one project to another, the optimal
results are achieved when both are sized identically.
One possible way to try it differently is to open two
different instances of Captivate. Each has a different project
open. Then copy the desired slide from one and paste into the
other.
Beyond that, you may wish to resize one of them so it matches
the other. (Project > Resize Project) Then try the import or the
copy/paste. And if you need to keep the project the same size and
not resize, you would first click File > Save As... and save a
"throwaway" copy of the project. Resize it long enough to get the
slide(s) you need, import or copy, then trash the resized project.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick
