How can I set a minimum slide view time?

I am using Captivate 6, and would like users that take my course to be required to view each slide for a minimum of 5 seconds before they can click the Next button. I don't want them to just click Next, Next, Next to burn through the course without any "real" learning moments along the way. My best guess is that it requires Advanced Actions, but I'm not really sure which ones to go with. Does anyone else have a different approach that might work better? I'm all ears, fill me with ideas!

That'd work. But there's another issue [[Warning! TLDR!]]- in my experience you can't force engagement (I've had far more experience USING elearns than I have building them). Either the user is motivated to learn or they're not. Forcing them to spend a minimum of time skimming the content out of sheer boredom through artificially impeding progress will make an already disaffected user either exasperated or furious, while an engaged user won't even notice, because they'll be reading the content.  Unfortunately addressing this is outside of the scope of the designer, as you're dealing with a much bigger issue relating to workplace culture.  It's only my opinion (and maybe I'm just a hippie-throwback), but if you're going into a project with the mindset of designing a learn in such a way as to trap an audience who will, given the option, actively avoid learning, you'll probably produce a much more adversary user experience.  I think sometimes you just need to trust that people will use the tool in the spirit it was intended, because there's a limit to what you can do through design that will actually embed knowledge in an unwilling participant. 
And anyway, to a certain extent it's a self-leveling system.  Those who haven't learned anything fail, either in the broader allegorical sense or in the case of quizzes, literally.
Sorry if this wasn't the place to go into the discussion of the philosophies behind e-learning design, I've done a couple of jobs recently where I've tried (and failed) to convince clients of this same fact, so it's floating right at the top of my mind.

    I don't like them to organize by thread.

    You can't. By design and intention messages are provided/organized in conversation/threaded format by each contact you exchange messages with and the messages within each conversation are sorted by date.

  • How can I set a specific start play time after disc insertion?

    How can I set an automatic play start time of (say, a minute after the DVD was inserted) if the watcher has not selected anything from the main menu?
    TIA.
    MacBook Pro 2.16 ghz 17   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   FCP 5.1.2 DVDSP 4.1.1

    Set the timeout action for the menu in inspector
    (General Tab for the menu, set the seconds and what
    it should do there)
    I set the At End menu to Timeout, set the seconds to the same as the time for the song playing in the background to finish, and set the Action to go to the Track where the video is. The song ends but it just remains on the Main menu. The video doesn't start.
    What have I missed?
    Again, TIA.

  • How can I set the minimum size the location bar should automatically resize to

    I have moved all of my navigation buttons, location bar and tabs to be in line. This has been done to maximise the available space on screen.
    This works perfectly with two or three tabs open, but once more tabs are opened the location bar automatically shrinks to allow for more tabs and becomes unusable. I want to set the minimum size the location bar should shrink to but I do not know how to do this.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    FBZP seems to be the only way to do the minimum amout setting in standard SAP.

  • How can I find the minimum in real time

    I 'am doing some type of sensing mechanism. I that the data is step count versus intensity. So I want to record the minimum in real time from. Please kindly help

    Hi perumpadapu,
    you should have learned by now to provide some meaningful example (data)…
    There are functions to detect minima: ArrayMinMax, "smaller than" comparison, PtByPtArrayMinMax, MinMax comparison, ...
    It all depends on your data!

  • How can I set FF to refresh each time I visit a website rather than using the cached version?

    I changed a photo in an online database, but can't get it to display the new photo. Tried logging out of the database entirely. IE has an easy setting for always refreshing. Where is that in FF?

    You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Every day, I have to re-set all of my app tabs. How can I set them to open each time I turn my computer back on?

    I never see the app tabs on my tool bar after I close the thing down for the night. Is that possible to keep them there??

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    * [2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    * [3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
    It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • How can I set a Session bean timeout

    Hello !
    How can I set a Session bean to time out eg. 48 hours ?
    Thanks
    Uiloq Slettemark

    For stateful session beans you can use the timeout attribute in the orion-ejb-jar e.g.
    <session-deployment timeout=1800 ..>
    this is specified in seconds and Default Value: 30 (minutes)

  • How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

    How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
    I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
    Thank you!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
    Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
    Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
    Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
    If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
    (I'm on iLife '09.)
    Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

  • In ios 7 I can't see my old playlist of videoclip in landscape view. Anybody know how can I set it?

    In ios 7 I can't see my old playlist of videoclip in landscape view. Anybody know how can I set it?

    Hello everyone,
    I faced this same issue, but not from updating to iOS 7.
    In my case all my music playlists disappeared. In another post I found a process which got them back, but after I'd done so I noticed that my Apps list and my books list were both empty, even though I'd bought plenty of books & apps. The following trick I discovered restored both of these lists.
    1. Within iTunes, select the Apps tab within the library, to show the (empty) window of all your apps.
    2. Now in a finder window, open your iTunes folder. On my computer this is in my Music folder.
    3. Within the iTunes folder, locate and drag the "Mobile Applications" folder into the apps window.
    Presto!!
    The same thing worked for finding the missing books, except that the books folder is stored one level deeper, within the iTunes Music folder, and of course I dragged it into the books window.
    I don't know if it matters, but I'm still running OSX 10.6.8 because I have use some legacy OSX apps that won't run in anything more recent, but my iTunes version is 11.1.4.
    I hope this helps a few people...

  • How can i set SINGLE PAGE. ENABLE SCROLLING as default view?

    how can i set default setting for view? I would like to set DO NOT SHOW GAPS BETWEEN PAGES. SINGLE PAGE. ENABLE SCROLLLING as default view.

    For viewing PDFs without embedded IV options you can set values under Preferences > Page Display, but if a file has the zoom or scroll mode defined in its properties, those will always win over the application defaults.
