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.

  • 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.
    Visit the link to create your account for free -   SCORM Cloud
    Click on sign up and create your account. Maximum upload size may be around 100 mb.

  • Basic Questions On Scoring and LMS with Captivate 4

    Hello,
    Forive me if this question is too basic for this forum, but I have to ask it somewhere.
    I am an academic librarian who develops tutorials using Capitvate 4.  Each tutorial I develop has about 5 true/false, multiple choice questions.  My technical knowledge is limited as a "librarian," but is strong enough to storyboard, develop graphics, and write elearning tutorials. But I have no idea on how to  capture the results from my quizes and perform assessments, which is what I really need to do.
    So, basically, what do I need to do?  Do I ask my university to tap into their LMS?  Coordinate with someone in a techncial services capacity and let them handle it? Have test results emailed using Captivate?  Use something called Moodle? Wait until Captivate 5 comes out?  I do not need anything fancy; just percentages on pass/fail rates associated with 5 questions or so.
    Are there some basic instructions out there?
    Best,
    George Germek

    Hello,
    Since you seem to have a LMS, the easiest way is to let handle the assessment by the LMS. You'll have to ask where you can store the SCORM-objects(will explain soon) so that the users you want to reach can have access to them. The LMS takes care of the login for the users, and can link the results of an assessment to this user. You'll have to ask for the rights to have access to these results.
    Creating a SCORM-object from CP is possible, but you need to know which SCORM-standard is supported by the LMS. Then you will decide what you want to have reported from the LMS: p.e. only the score, if they failed/passed (when you have put in a mastery score), how many attempts they made etc. If you have this information, would be glad to help you set up a first SCORM-object from a CP-file.
    E-mailing results is a bit tricky in CP4, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    In CP5 you'll have other possibilities than a LMS (by the way Moodle is a free LMS, do not think this will be OK for you because you already have a LMS around): posting the results to acrobat.com (rather simple process, really) or using an internal webserver (but then you'll need some technical assistance I'm afraid).
    Hope this gives you some ideas?

  • Is connect the best lms for captivte?

    My company is going to be using adobe captivate for its online training for our distributors. Is adobe connect the best when to monitor scores and tests for that? What is the cost on this as well?

    That question is more difficult to answer than it may seem. Connect does a great job of tracking and monitoring scores with Captivate content, but it shouldn't be called an LMS... Maybe LMS light is a better term.
    Captivate should report well to any LMS though, so the better question is do you need an LMS, and how big is your budget for an LMS? I won't get into pricing here, as that is not a forum appropriate conversation, and you shouldn't say your budge here .
    I'll contact you off forum and we can discuss how Connect may or may not fit into your plans for Captivate.

  • What is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? (Specifically Flash and Java)

    I create a Captivate from and upload it to our LMS. When employees access the course it takes a long time for it to load. My IT department is asking what is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? Specifically Flash and Java. This is occuring on PC's and a Citrix environment.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same.
    There is nothing in specific. When you say it takes a long time, do you mean on the LMS or locally as well?
    Try updaing the Flash Player.
    You can download the Falsh Player Versions from the below link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Which browser you are using?
    Also what objects you have in your project?
    Does it have widgets or heavier graphics?
    Also are you using any particular preloader? Have you tried using the default.swf preloader?
    Thanks!

  • Free Goods for Materials from the same division

    Hi Friends,
    We are trying to configure free goods based on customer and division in our system. If a customer orders any material belonging to a specific division, he is entitled for a free good.
    For this we created a new condition table based on customer and division and maintained condition records that if he orders 100 qty of any material in Division 10 that he is entitled for 1 qty of material X.
    Now the problem is that at the time of creating the sales order if Material A is entered for qty 50 and Material B is for qty 50 then the system does not give free goods. However, if we enter Materail A for 100 qty it gives the free goods 1 qty of Material X. Similarly, for Mat B with 100 qty it gives Mat X as free goods.
    The system is not adding up the quantities for the multiple line items to calculate the free goods.
    Is there any way by which we can achieve this.
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    Hi,
    So far me too have configured and getting free goods for one material. for your requirement, i think you have to tell your Abaper to do corresponding Enhancement.
    Thanks

    Menu Wizard is a Flash movie that provides a dynamic menu -
    a series of buttons that navigates to slides you specify within
    your published Adobe Captivate movies. This is a frequently
    requested feature for Captivate - and is often discussed here in
    the Forums.
    The
    Menu Wizard uses a .XML file read the menu content and
    settings. You can configure many options, including the number of
    menu buttons, button text, background colors (up/over), font, font
    size, font color (up/over), border width and color, drop shadow,
    button size (height,width), location, horizontal/vertical layout,
    transparency, and menu header options. The product is distributed

    Dirk, the Menu Wizard does not have a feature to
    restrict users from going to various sections (slides) until
    they have visited other sections (slides).
    However, you might be able to accomplish this by 1) using
    some creative branching or 2) breaking your project up into
    separate movies - 1 for each section. At the end of section 1 -
    there is a Click Box or Button that will launch section 2. In this
    case, the Menu Wizard would be used for navigation within 1 movie
    (section) at a time.

    Doubtful unless your carrier has an app that includes the option.
    My carrier has an app that I can check current usage and past usage with a previous bill and pay the bill.

  • Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

    Hi dudes,
    As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
    Thank you.

    One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
    Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

    The question is too vague to be answered. It's a design decision that needs more details.
