How to connect to a Learning Management System (LMS)

Are there any tutorials available on how to connect an LMS with Captivate or a walkthrough someone could offer me?

As Lilybiri states, Captivate is SCORM-compliant, meaning it can publish a SCORM-compliant file. Per the SCORM spec, any SCORM-compliant content must be uploaded to a SCORM-compliant LMS as a .zip file (technically, a '.pif' file, but .zip is the most common).
Now, the actual process your LMS requires to upload a SCORM package completely depends on the LMS, so refer to your LMS documentation/support on how to do that.
Within CP itself, also as Lilybiri pointed out, you need to setup the preferences properly - selecting SCORM (or AICC if that's you and your LMS preference), the version, the various manifest requirements, and the various scoring/reporting options. That in itself is an entire discusion - do refer to the Captivate help on those sections first.

  • 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?

  • How about Multiple Modular Learning in Learning management system (LMS)

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody help me in understanding Multiple Modular Learning and how it can be incorporated in Learning management system (LMS)? Also I want to know whether LMS can support it? If LMS can support it then what are the methods and strategies available in Multiple Modular Learning? I need to know a lot about it and I hope you guys can urgently help me with this.
    Regards

    Hi Experts,
    I am still struck on this big time.
    My doubt is that in SAP E-Learning we provide students with a single sequence only Eg: Units , Followed by Lessons, Followed by Try mes ( basically excercises) , Followed by Multiple choice questions.
    Is it possible for a students say for Eg: Complete the Try mes' first then understand the lessons or Learn the theory first and then do the Try mes' later. I am trying to do ways and means of doing this and also would want to know whether LMS supports this or not and how to make it work through LMS?
    I will be gratefull if some one can help me on this?
    Regards

  • Anyone use AJAX with Learning Management Systems

    I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3. After looking at it
    briefly the thought occured to me that the AJAX functionality might
    be applied to Learning Management System courses. Typically,
    courses fired through a Learning Management System (LMS) use AICC
    or SCORM compliant JavaScript in order to achieve the user scoring
    interactions.
    Has anyone employed the AJAX functionality in Dreamweaver CS3
    to enhance LMS functionality? Any Thoughts?
    Thank you,
    TPK

    It should be perfectly fine to include it in head - depending on wha you want.
    Try to use Firebug for firefox to debug errors.
    You can add plugins to wordpress that makes it easier to include scripts.

  • How to connect one ECC 6.0  system to two BW ssytems.

    Hello all,
    I am trying to connect one ECC 6.0 systems to two different BW systems. The BW systems have two different logic names.
    I tried to find an answer in the threads , but could not able to find the steps. they were talking about the notes which fixes for the deltas. but I am not even able to connect the systems at all to implement that notes.
    Please give me the steps how to connect to an another BW2 system. The connection between ECC and BW1 ia working fine.
    Thanks,

    The error message is .
    Source system cannot use any of the proposed connection names
    Message no. RSAR362
    Diagnosis
    Every connection to a source system is named using a unique two-digit identifier. Source system LOGTST100 does not accept any of the proposed values.
    The last proposed value was BB.
    System Response
    Source system has not been connected.
    Procedure
    If you want to recreate the source system from BI information, then you can only use a single value, namely BB, because the connection already has this name in BI.
    Delete the existing connections in the source system or contact a BI consultant.

  • Learning Management System

    Our company recently developed training using Captivate for a
    military client. The client is now interested in the training being
    hosted on a Learning Management System for their participats.
    Looking for recommendations on an LMS that can host our training
    using Captivate.
    One LMS was attempted but their Atlas Pro system was unable
    to incorporate the training we developed.
    Thanks

    There are many, many LMS systems. Your decision may have to
    do with what
    kind of functionality you're looking for, as well as a budget
    (of
    course). Many of the larger systems incorporate methods of
    tracking
    things like an employees entire career path...but those get
    pretty
    expensive too.
    Smaller LMS systems that are focused just on presenting
    training content
    to users tend to be more affordable. Two such LMS products:
    1. Inquisiq:
    http://www.icslearninggroup.com/products/inquisiq/learning-management-system.htm
    2. WBT Manager:

  • I am a professor at Kettering College, Kettering, Ohio. The college learning management system is Angel. When Firefox updated to 7.0.1 Angel would no longer send e-mail. Can you fix this?

    Any attempt to send an e-mail message in Angel resulted in the following non-responsive script: https://angel.kc.edu/jscript/yahoo/utilities/utilities.js:9. Our IT support suggests uninstalling Firefox 7.01. and going back to an earlier version. I would much rather have Mozilla assist us in making Angel work with Firefox. As Angel is a widely used learning management system I would think Mozilla would want to fix this problem. Thanks. Daryll Ward

  • How to Connect SQL Server enterprises Manager Version 8.0 with Form 6i

    Dear experts
    I want to know that How can I connect SQL server Enterprise Manager Version 8.0 with Forms/reprots 6i.
    currently I have oracle 9i database at server windows 2003 and I also connected with client (my PC) I work on server.
    I also have SQL server in that server 2003 machine and this SQL Server also work with other clients that have VB program.
    I want to know that can I connect with this SQL server with Form 6i?

    You can't. The closest thing would be to create links in an oracle database to the SQL Server database using Heteregeneous Services and connect forms to the that.
    This forum is for the SQLDeveloper tool. You will get more complete answers in the "Database General", or "Heterogeneous Services" forums
