Integrating Dreamweaver and captivate?  -- multiple scos multiple quizzes

I'm new to Captivate (and SCORM too) so please be kind.
I'm working on a project that has several individual SCO's
created using Dreamweaver. Each SCO has a Captivate 3 quiz
(separate SCO) at the end (all in SCORM 1.2 -- a requirement of the
client's LMS engine) for assessment. All of the SCO's (Dreamweaver
'lessons' and Captivate Quizzes) pass the ADL Conformance tests.
BUT...
When loaded into the LMS, each quiz results overwrites the
previous quiz result. That is, the quizzes are not reported as
independent 'tests' so that the results are reported separately. Is
there anyway to require (or code) each quiz to be retained by the
LMS as an individual Test?
Is this an impossible task? Is it a limitation of SCORM 1.2?
A limitation of Captivate? A limitation of my poor tired brain?
Please help!

Kat,
SCORM 1.2 does not allow for 'sequencing', which is jumping
between
separate SCOs without returning to the LMS. SCORM 1.3/2004
allows for
that but, of course, the LMS has to support that
functionality as
well...which isn't an easy task.
Without sequencing support, the SCO has just one ID which
everything is
tracked-back to in the LMS. And in either version of SCORM,
there can
only be one lesson_status and one score_raw value - so each
lesson can
only have one such value.
So if you put your SCOs together into one lesson and one
manifest,
unless the manifest lists each SCO separately with their
unique IDs (I
think, I'm not clear on how sequencing actually works), each
time a quiz
score/status is sent back to the LMS it's being recorded for
that one
overall SCO ID.
Far better to just keep your SCOs as separate lessons, upload
them into
the LMS, and let the LMS manage the organization and
launching of them,
especially as SCORM 1.2 so each SCO's score can be recorded
separately.

  • Adobe captivate multiple quizzez within a single project

    Hello I am trying to create a test that includes 6 different exams, but i want the usert to have to pass each exam with at least a 75% before they can access the next quiz. I am very new to captivate. Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thank you

    You will need 6 different Captivate projects, each of which will have one quiz (exam).  You can set the passing percentage for each project file to 75% under Quiz Settings > Pass Fail.  To force the user to pass each module of your course before they can do the next one, you really need to be serving up your course content via a Learning Management System.  The LMS usually handles that side of it.  If packaging your course modules as a multi-SCO SCORM course for your LMS, you'll ideally be using Adobe's Elearning Suite 6, which comes with the Multi-SCORM Packaging tool.  The version that comes with ELS 6 can accommodate more of the SCORM rules than previously possible in earlier versions.

  • Multiple Quizzes with multiple results (in Captivate 6)

    Hey guys, Thanks for reading!
    Does anyone know if it is possible to do multiple tests with multiple results in captivate 6? or if it is possible to have a pre-test with a quiz, and have separate results for each?
    I've been having a play with captivate 6 and when I put a quiz in, it overrides the results slide for my pre-test.
    Looking at the results slide master properties I can choose to have results for one of my quizzes but not both (even on separate slides):
    It wont even let me insert another slide based on the other result.
    I would like to know if multiple quizzes with multiple results is possible in Captivate 6?, or if I am simply doing something wrong?
    Thanks!

    Sorry for way-late reply...
    It's really more how your LMS handles 'courses' and the terminology it uses.
    Essentially, most often, a 'SCORM Package' (SCO) is a 'course'. I'd rather call each SCO a 'lesson' as, to me, 'courses' should be setup in the LMS with a series of 'Lessons'.
    Regardless of the terminology, each 'SCO' is launched by the LMS and one score can be recorded for it via SCORM.
    So if you need multiple final scores recorded, each of those final scores need to be in their own SCO.
    A common approach is a Pre-Test SCO (or 'lesson', or 'course', whatever term), a 'Content' SCO perhaps with some interspersed scored interactions, and a Post-Test SCO...all three merged together as a 'course' (or whatever term) within the LMS.
    That said, as said, it really all depends on how your LMS handles various SCOs...
    Clear as mud?

  • How can I make multiple quizzes with their own results slides within one project of Captivate 7?

    In one Captivate 7 project I want to create multiple quizzes with their own results slide. 
    Currently I have 5 quizzes that all are linked to 1 results slide.
    Is there a way to give each set of questions their own results slide?
    (I saw a response to a similar question for Captivate 5 from 2012, but I couldn't get much use out of is and I figured there was an easier way in Captivate 7).
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply Lilybiri!
    I checked out the link and it's useful, however your other plan might work better for me:
    Either you link to separate CP-files that have each their quiz, or you can show intermediate results slides (see link below), but you have to know that the score that will be transmitted to a LMS is the total score of all the quizzes.
    But how exactly do I link separate CP-files?  Do I have to publish them first and then link them, or can I link them before I publish?
    If you could shoot me a link or some advice I'd greatly appreciate it.  I'm finishing up a huge project that is due at the end of the day and this quiz issue is one of the last things keeping me from being finished.
    Thanks!

  • How can I have multiple quizzes in Captivate 5.5

    I would like to do multiple quizzes within one module. Ideally, you would have to pass each quiz before moving on to the next section. Is that possible using Captivate 5.5?

    You can have the quizzes in separate files, and call them from a main file. Or you can daisy chain the quizzes (using Open File command). Or you can use the SCORM packager. But I'm not sure if you have access to it, don't remember if it was available with CP in that version or only with the eLearning Suite.

  • Multiple Quizzes using Captivate 3

    I am currently using Captivate 3 and I had a very large project with multiple quizzes.  Captivate was able to go through the first quiz, but every time I hit another quiz, the system would freeze.
    I am looking to do multiple quizzes - does anyone know a work around????
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    A bit of clarification if I may...
    Linking to the .CP file is only the right thing to do if you constructed your links using the "Open other project" option. If you used the "Open URL or File" option, you wouldn't link to the .CP file. You would link to the .HTM page.
    .CP files are project source files and you should never see them on the server.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Multiple Quizzes - Captivate 4

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is any way to create multiple quizzes in Captivate 4 in the same project file. I have a learning styles survey based quiz set up, and need to collect 3 varibles, one for auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Then I want to display the total for each variable at the end of my quiz, having each question containing 3 answers each for the specific categories/variables. So basically is there a way to have 3 objective ID's, one representing each quiz, then having each specific question adding a specific point to that quiz ID. Then on the last slide display a total point system one for each objective ID, so the user can see which category they fit into. Or is there another way to do this, ie. keeping track of 3 answers instead of just true/false?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I don't need it published on an LMS, I just want to show the results in Captivate on another slide, after they take the quiz. For example some of the questions are:
    You      are preparing a technical learning module for the next month:
    You       make lots of gestures with your hands while you think.
    You       draw up a diagram to help you clarify a few key ideas.
    You       prepare a detailed plan of the content of the module.
    You      are getting ready to write up work for the course you are taking:
    You       are surprised by the pile of paper.
    You       feel tired before you begin.
    You       regret waiting until now to get the work done.
    I want to score them as follows:
    Question
    Visual
    Auditory
    Kinesthetic
    1
    B
    C
    A
    2
    A
    C
    B
    Then I want a total of each category, at the end of the quiz. Would I be able to do this is Captivate? Thanks!

  • Multiple quizzes

    Is there a way to have multiple quizzes within 1 captivate project? I want to insert a quiz at the end of each major section of the presentation and if the user fails a section quiz, he'll be redirected to the beginning of that section. In total, I'd like to have 3 separate quizzes for the presentation.

    Each Captivate file can have only one Quiz (SCORM requirement I heard). You don't tell which version you are using, nor if you have to report to a LMS. When reporting as a SCO only the total result will be reported, that is the one that is stored in the quizzing system variables.
    You can however with advanced actions calculate subtotals and display them to the user. I don't know if this post could help you:

    PS: if you have CP6 or later, there is also a Pretest, but that is not what you'll want to use in this case

  • Multiple Quizzes in One Project

    I'm developing a project that teaches 4 different standards,
    then has a overall assessment quiz at the end of the course.
    The problem I'm running into is that the "pre" quiz after
    each of the four standards cannot be independently "scored" without
    adding to the total score for the project. It's as if you can only
    have one quiz total slide per project, and that total slide can't
    be duplicated for individual quizzes.
    Any suggestions? I guess I have to break up each of the
    standards into their own projects, then present the final
    assessment as another independent project.
    Thanks
    JimmyD

    Welcome to our community, JimmyD
    I think you are spot on. There is currently no way within
    Captivate to have multiple quizzes in the same project. I'm not
    even sure if that would be possible from a technical standpoint.
    But I've seen a few folks ask about it here. Because of that, I
    would strongly encourage you and anyone else that sees a need for
    this capability to alert the Captivate Development team by
    completing a Wish Form.

  • DW CS6 doesn't open in OS 10.9.5, even after deinstallation and reinstallation (multiple time)

    DW CS6 doesn’t open in OS 10.9.5, even after deinstallation and reinstallation (multiple time).
    I tried deleting all prefs with the name Dreamweaver in the Library/preferences and in Apllication Support/adobe. Doesn’t change anything.
    Is there a conflict with something else? Is there something else I can do ?

    Hello Claude,
    in this case I would download a really new trial version of your program in question (DW) and change it into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool".
    Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. You did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing". Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for my part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

    I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
    I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
    Any suggestions??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
    Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.
