Import Captivate into Moodle LMS

We are trying to figure out if we can import a captivate training into the moodle lms and have it track user scores. Does anyone know if there are instructions available anywhere?

A lot of people using Moodle are building their courses in Captivate.
You should try searching for info about Captivate on the Moodle forums at: www.moodle.org

Exporting the result of output of adobe captivate to moodle LMS

Please i am new to adobe captivate,
I'm working on a project and we are using Moodle as LMS, i have developed some learning material for student using adobe captivate. The learning material has some quiz in it (tutor marked quiz).
My major challenge is that i want to be able to put the scores from the quiz for each student into moodle as the student is taking the learnig material.
I published the adobe captivate file to flash.
Thanks

For Moodle, I would suggest you use Report to LMS as Percent, not Score, and use Quiz Results Only. Unless there is some compelling reason why you need to report Interactions and Score, I would just use Report Score. The less information you throw at an LMS, the more likely it is to work for you in many cases.
In your Manifest settings, set the Duration to a number of minutes tha corresponds to the duration of the course or module but make sure it is in the format shown (e.g. 00:30:00 for 30 minutes). Some LMSs won't work properly without this setting. If you will be setting up a number of courses or course modules in the same Moodle server, you need to alter the default Identifiers that Captivate inserts so as to differentiate between all the various courses and course modules you may need to track. If they all have the same identifiers, Moodle will think they're all the same course and your results will be faulty.
When you add a course to Moodle you can specify if it's a SCORM course, which will mean that you can ONLY use a SCORM module as the content for that course. But you can also insert a SCORM module as an activity in a normal Moodle course. You just need to select that as the Activity type.
If you will be working a lot with Moodle, I suggest you go to www.moodle.org and start reading their forum posts about setting up e-learning courses.

Imported captivates into a separate captivate, timing off

I have a slide that is meant to be an online interactive tool to determine "yes, or no" in 16 categories.
It is a table with 16 squares but I needed an animation that would allow the user to click and change each box from "no" to "yes" and back again.
I created a captivate that was 2 slides - a red "X" for no and a green checkmark for yes.
I then published this captivate as a flash / html5.
Then I created the main interactive, a slide with 16 squares which I then inserted the "yes/no" flash into 16 times.
When I insert the "yes, no" animation into the final slide everything looks great.
However, upon preview and publish, a user can click on the squares to change them from no to yes, but sometimes clicking on one square (animation) also changes 2 squares.
In the screenshot, I have the view so that you can see the main slide with the animations (on left), then the preview (on right), and I have clicked on the first "x" to change it to a checkmark, but when I clicked on the first box, another box was affected and changed to a checkmark as well. I can't decide if it is a timing issue, but my goal is that a user can click on any of the boxes and only affect that box.
Thank you for your ideas and thoughts.

I agree with Lieve. Not a good idea.
If you had just placed the images of the tick and cross in each square and used Advanced Actions to toggle them, then you would also have been able to have those actions set User Variables and track which answers the user had given. That data could have been used elsewhere in the same project to modify the experience.

How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

I'm looking
a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
into captivate.
All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
Thanks in advance
-Joan

Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5.
Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
application/ form. Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
Adobe pdf, Word document or another format. Our current content
developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
1> exclude questions from the Published content
(exclude section questions, or final test content)
2> produce different test versions from question banks
3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
4> Select which questions we want to produce
5> Import questions from a pre-defined format. To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank. etc..
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
Such as
"INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
"WEB TRAINING"
"PAPER TEST A"
"PAPER TEST B"
ETC...
LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content. Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id'). My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.
Thanks,

Error While Uploading Captivate 6 Projects into Oracle LMS

Hello,
We have recently updated our Captivate software from Captivate 5 to Captivate 6. We are now experiencing issues when uploading our Captivate projects into our Oracle LMS. We are unable to upload newly developed courseware as a result, and have many critical learning initiatives with deadlines coming up within our organization.
We receive the following error when uploading published Captivate 6 files into our LMS:
Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element ‘appearance’ not expected.
The Log states: “The operation could not find a learning object with the external identifier: and external source: . A new learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word with id 2824 has been created.
The language en-US is not compatible for the learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word (id: 2824). The language will be set to American English.
The import process has failed: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element 'appearance' not expected.”
When contacting Oracle, they directed me to contact the vendor and inquire if they have resolved their UNIX issues and corrected the imsmanifest.xml creation piece of the tool. The Captivate 6 software on my PC is up to date with the newest patch installed, and I have tried publishing courses with different combinations of preferences and settings and none seem to resolve the issue.
Any insight as to what is causing this error or what can be done to correct it?
Thanks.

The error message makes me think the LMS is looking for an MS Word document included in your SCORM manifest file. Some LMSs are very strict about all files in the course needing to be listed in the imsmanifest.xml file.
Do you have a document in the package that the users need to read or that is linked in some way to your course content?

CP8 - How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?

Hi,
How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?
WebObject doesn't work...
Thanks

I accomplished this by publishing my PDF to a directory I called "PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles" on my webserver outside of where my published project lives.
For example...the PDF to embed lived at:
http://mydomain.com/PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles/file_name_of_PDF_to_embed.pdf
Then I went inside of Captivate and inserted the Web Object widget. I put the URL to my PDF inside the widget. Then it loads perfectly with no problem.
Hope this helps.

How do I upload a captivate 6 presentation into moodle 2

how do i load a captivate 6 presentation into moodle 2

Hi Macot, Here is the solution for your question.
First you need to Publish your Captivate 6 presentation into SCORM 1.2.
Then compress it into zip format and create a new course in Moodle.
Add SCORM activity to it and upload the zip file.
Here is a webinar that you may find it helpful to you. Have a look on it.

How do I import Captivate 4 into Flash CS5?

I am not a Flash expert obviously. I am trying to import my captivates into Flash and get an error message that the file was not imported because it could not be read. Can anyone help?

Hello,
Normally you can export the Captivate file to Flash from the File menu, but I'm not sure it will work between 2 different versions: 4 for Captivate and CS5 for Flash?

How to import bullets into Captivate 8?

Hi!
I want to use bullets from Word in my Captivate 8 composition.
I found an old article describing how to do it: I Came, I Saw, I Learned...: Adobe Captivate: Custom Bullets in Text Captions Made Easy
However, I can't make it work. Is there an other way to import bullets into Captivate 8?
BR,
Madeleine

No, it is not really possible. You could use ASCII code to insert bullets
or characters from webdings or wingdings fonts.

Importing Captivate 3 files into 4

Has anyone reported problems with mouse paths not converting when importing Captivate 3 projects to Captivate 4? Sometimes the mouse path completely disappears, other times, it's there but is ignored. The mouse pointer is there, but it does not move - it shows at the final location.

Hi there
I've seen folks reporting lots of issues with Captivate 4 since its release. However, I'm not sure I've seen anyone specifically report what you just have.
As the mouse is an individual object in Captivate, I'm wondering if perhaps you have other objects that are possibly moving in the stacking order so they cover the Mouse?
Perhaps try right-clicking the Mouse object on the problem slides and choosing Order > Bring to Front?
Cheers... Rick

Importing interaction into InDesign

I understand that the Captivate 7 interaction must first be put into Edge Animate and saved as OAM file before importing it into InDesign, but I don't know how to import a Captivate interaction into Edge Animate. If anyone knows steps for how to do this I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't think that's true. I don't know if you can save the interaction by itself but you certainly can save the Captivate file after you get it working and import it into InDesign.
Can you tell us exactly what you're trying to do? In the meantime, check out this blog post from Pooja...it's excellent:

Captivate 4 AICC LMS

Hi everyone, Could someone help please? I have designed a Quiz in Captivate 4 and published it with AICC LMS Option. Now you can see that Captivate 4 produces the .au, .crs, .cst and .des files. I have brought the Quiz into the LMS (namely, Isoph Blue (Learn Something) using the four files. The Quiz appears in the LMS and you can open and answer the questions. But the issue is that no completion message or tracking is recorded in the LMS. The quiz tracking message for Quiz complete is not recorded in the LMS. Isoph Blue (Learn Something) is AICC comply. Some other AICC training modules have been tracked successfully, so the LMS is AICC comply What do I have to do to solve this issue, can somebody troubleshoot this? PS: I can provide more information and files, etc if needed.

I've been using Inquisiq EX from ICS Learning group for about 4 months (Hosted version). I've got 4 Captivate4 courses running on it so far with no problems (SCORM 1.2).
We spent about a year evaluating LMSs and finally settled on this one. They have a free trial available on their website.

Import Captivate 2.0 to Captivate 1.0

Hi,
is there a possibility to import presentations made with the
latest version of captivate into Captivate 1.0?
Maybe by converting from Captivate 2.0 to Powerpoint and then
import PowerPoint into Captivate 1.0?
Any ideas?
Thx for the help.

Hi Computer_King and welcome to our community
Actually, assuming you have both Captivtate 1 and Captivate 2
on the same PC, you may want to give this a try.
Open the project in version 2. Then create a new project in
version 1 that has the same dimensions (for example 640x480)
Then methodically visit each slide in Version 2 and try
copying from 2 and pasting into 1. I'm not sure if it will work for
entire slides, but it might. I believe I've done it with assorted
objects.
Additionallly, (and this should go without saying but I'll
say it anyway) anything Version 2 offers that isn't supported in
version 1 (zoom areas for example) will not function in version 1.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Captivate 4 & moodle. Issue with non-quiz SCO's

We are using Captivate 4 and moodle 1.9.5+.
Here's the issue: How do we set up a SCO in Captivate that does NOT include any sort of quiz to report a score?
Because we can't get bookmarking to work properly from Captivate SCO's to moodle, we have had to break apart our course into sections. Now the course consists of something like "lesson1 SCO" and "lesson1quiz SCO", "lesson2 SCO" and "lesson2quiz SCO", etc. The lesson SCO's are just information presented to the student and the "lesson#quiz SCO" are just quizzes.
The quiz SCO's are reporting the correct grades to moodle and being stored in the gradebook but we can't figure out what settings to set the lesson SCO's to, in order to report a score of 100. Currently, these lesson SCO's are reporting a score of "0" which is affecting moodle course averages score.
The only way around this that we have found is to add the lesson# SCO's into moodle as IMS Content Packages and therefore not scored and the lesson#quiz SCO's as activities and therefore scored. The problem with this method is that we can't require the students to take the lesson# SCO's.
Is there anyone who has come across this problem before and knows a solution?

Hi there
Just stabbing in the dark here. What if you added a button on the last slide? Configure the button to report and assign it a value of 100 when clicked?
Cheers... Rick
