LMS replicating answers - Cp6

This is my first ever post to any forum, so my apologies in advance if I'm not doing this correctly. My company has built its own LMS, which seems to work fine if a quiz is taken only once by a learner. However, when the learner takes the same quiz more than once, the reporting page keeps replicating the answers each time the quiz is taken, rather than overwriting results. Since the Interaction variables seem consistent, I think this is a problem with the LMS reporting structure my company has set up. But I was wondering if someone else has experienced this same issue or can see what might an obvious error. Please see the attached screenshot. There should be only 7 questions in this quiz. If you look at the Variable column, you can see there are 7 quetions. However, under Question Number, the figure keeps incrementing by 1.
Even if I can't get help on this, if someone could acknowledge whether I've posted correctly here, that would be really helpful for next time. Many thanks.

There's nothing wrong with the way you've posted your question. The problem may be that since we have no idea how your home-grown LMS was programmed we have no way of knowing whether or not the designers allowed for the fact that there might be more than one attempt on the same quiz question.
The number in the Variable column shown above looks like it might be the Interaction ID in Captivate that uniquely identifies each quiz question. It looks like the Question Results report output is recording each and every attempt on the question, but perhaps no coding has been done in the LMS report to make it show only the latest attempts on the same question.
I think you need to check with your LMS developers to find out how they had intended to handle multiple attempts on the same quiz question, as well as multiple attempts on the overall quiz.

Cp6 Quiz score reporting error in LMS

Looking for any inputs - this one's a bit strange:
I've been tasked with developing a course that allows the learner to test-out by jumping directly to the quiz. I've set up a series of advanced actions that allow one shot at the quiz without reviewing the course content, and actions that steer the learner back into the course after failing the quiz. All of these actions work, and the quiz score reports correctly each time within the course - the problem is what happens after that:
I leave the course and go to the learner profile on the LMS - instead of 100%, the score is reporting as 75% (4 question prototype). I've set preferences to complete the course and report the score - the course reports complete, the only error is the incorrectly reported score. When I leave the transcript page and go back to the course, the course opens to the last question in the quiz, rather than the last page visited - and the question is not completed. Is this a setting I'm missing on the Cp6 side, or do I need to interface with the IT guys running the LMS? I'm running Cp6 with the most current patches on a Meridian LMS.

In answer to Rod's suggestion to set the score to percentage:
Done - the client prefers that report anyway. Still seeing the stuff as described below.
In answer to Erik's questions above:
after the quiz, you have a quiz results screen that shows all the information you'd expect, right?
Right - the quiz results screen in the course shows the score achieved
If they passed, how do they close the lesson?
The "Continue" button on the results screen is set up to take them to a completion page. that page has an "exit" button that takes them out of the lesson and back to the LMS.
Does the LMS report the same result as the summary page?
Yes if the quiz is set up to "submit all" answers at once in Quiz:Settings. (However, this is not my client's preferred set-up - so I'm still searching for the answers below)
No if you have the quiz submit each answer individually - see below:
The scores reported on the results screens for the quizzes in the red box above were 100, 90, 80 and 80, respectively.
If they fail the lesson, how are they redirected back to the content?
The "Continue" button on the quiz results page is set up to jump to the first page of content if the score is below passing.
Then they go through the content?
Yes - its required at that point.
how do they retake the quiz?
the "next" button on the last content slide takes them directly to the quiz.
If they retake it, does the summary slide show the correct information?
In the "submit all" mode - this all works perfectly.
If set up to submit after each answer, if you fail the quiz and exit the course before retaking it, the score is reported correctly in the transcript - it seems as if it defaults to the minimum passing score in when you submit each answer individually.
again, how do they then proceed to close the lesson?
They exit the lesson using the "Exit" button, which closes it and takes them back to the LMS.
I'd suggest adding a 'continue' button to that summary slide (if there's not one already) and instruct the user to click, take them to a 'congratulations' page and instructions to now close the lesson.
Done - see above.
Do you have the lesson reporting 'after every slide' or 'send data at end'? If none of the above options help, try changing it from one to the other (in the 'template' options).
I've set it using the submit all checkbox in Quiz:Settings - not sure how to access template options - is this a menu I'm unable to find?
Thanks again for your time on this -

How do you get a percentage score in the LMS using SCORM 2004 and CP6?

I am having two issues since I upgraded to CP6. When I select Track Data at End, the courses never scores as complete in the LMS - it worked great in CP5.5.
Also, in CP6 there is no option to record the score as a percentage using SCORM 2004, so all I get is Complete or Incomplete - I could get percentages in CP 5.5
Does anyone have any ideas or advice? Am I doing something wrong here?
I am using GreenLight from Silkroad for the LMS.

Kevin

Herald, fantastic news. SET LONG did the trick.
But I had to put a very big value. 32000 was not enough. Otherwise some of the triggers (big ones) got cut off.
This is my complete code which did it.
SPOOL F:\Channa\zz_zzTemp\Binuka\OutPut.txt
set trimspool on
set pages 0
set long *1000000000*
set linesize 32767
SET TERMOUT OFF
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TRIGGER', TRIGGER_NAME, 'ABS')
FROM ALL_TRIGGERS
WHERE OWNER = 'ABS' AND trigger_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%'
SPOOL OUT
THANKS A LOT. REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
P.S: I had to include the NOT LIKE 'BIN$%' in the where clause because otherwise I got this error:
ERROR:
ORA-31603: object *"BIN$cqXDSqghrFngQKjAJAovgw==$0"* of type TRIGGER not found in
schema "ABS"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
no rows selected
I THINK BIN$... triggers are dropped triggers in the DB recycle bin???

How to display the descriptions of a "question" and "answers" in the LMS?

Hello, evevyone,
I am new comer in Captivate 5.
In order to analysis the result of "Learner response", we need known the “Question” and “Answer” description of each Quiz in a SCORM player.
Does Captivate return these information back to LMS?
For example :
I have created a quiz with one question.
Do you have a dog? ------->Question description
(A)Yes ----->Learner response
(B)No
After complete the quiz on LMS, Captivate will return the "Do you have a dog?" and "(A)Yes" back to LMS ?

Dear RodWard,
I am trying anohter LMS named SCORM Cloud.
The question description does not return to LMS.
You can see the Message Log:
cmi.interactions.3
cmi.interactions.3.id: 1272
cmi.interactions.3.type: LongFillIn
cmi.interactions.3.timestamp: 2011-09-29T21:01:43

I am sure that Captivate will not return the question description.....
Am I right?

Captivate 5 question and answer data not showing up in Connect 8 LMS

I'm using Captivate 5 and Adobe Connect 8 for an LMS. I can publish lessons and quizzes directly into Connect with no problem. Taking the quizzes works fine. I have a problem with the reporting of quizzes. The scores are correct but I often don't get all of the questions listed when I look at the reports. A 10 question quiz might show 1 question and answer. Again, the score reflects 10 questions answered but when viewing the report "By Question" only one question shows. I cannot see any settings that are different on the visible question. Has anybody else seen this?

For what it's worth I think I solved my own problem. The quizzes that were messed up were all udated from Captivate 4. This made all of the Interation IDs the same for all of the questions on each quiz. The IDs must be unique for the system to report results from each question. If you try to change an ID, the rest of the question IDs change also. To change the IDs so they will all be unique, select all of the questions in a quiz and enter CNTRL-D to duplicate them. It doesn't matter if they are in a pool or in the main project. Then deleted the originals. The new questions will all have new and unique IDs. I don't know why this works but it does. I hope someone finds this useful.

Scorm package in CP6 not uploading to LMS - they claim corrupted?

Hi,
I created a lesson with an embedded flv file in captivate 6. I publish the content and can upload to the scorm cloud just fine. When I upload to my LMS (Inquisiq), it spits out an error and will not upload. I have contacted ICS for a solution. They believe my zip file to be corrupted. They unzipped it and rezipped it and now it uploads fine. So I tried pulbishing another file. Upload does not work. I unzipped and rezipped and now it uploaded fine.
I am publishing for scorm 1.2, swf, html5 & pdf options selected.
Anyone have a clue what might be going on here?
Thanks,
Lori

Lori,
After unzipping do they made any change, like removing any file, adding, modifying, structuring?
I think if you get an error on ICS your LMS admin must have a details log for identifying the error message and cause for that. He should be able to isoltae how rezipping it solves it?
Also, can you keep course in just SWF or HTML5 output nad then publish it to see if it could be cause of packaging different file format could be an issue ?
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Captivate 5 quiz review not showing correct answers when loaded to LMS

Hello All. I would really appreciate some help please. Despite the quiz review working correctly when published, i.e. both 'your answer' and 'the correct answer' captions appear in the review, on loading to LMS the review caption does not show the 'the correct answer is' , but instead 'you did not answer this question completely'.
Any ideas why this should be the case? I've attached screen shots of my quiz preferences for completenes.
Many thanks in advance.
Janey

Do the same modules evidence this behaviour when published and played outside the LMS, e.g. from a web server or on your hard drive?
If not, it's possible that some setting in the LMS is over-riding what happens at playback. You could try checking the box under LMS Customisation for Never Send Resume Data and see if that seems to make any difference. If the LMS is maintaining a record of some previous attempt at the same module then turning off Resume Data might show that up.

LMS 4.0 in HA Mode guidance required

Hi Members,
Good day,
For LMS4.0 to configure High Availability solution, is it based on Symantec’s VERITAS Storage Foundation products.? As identified from below link,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.0/install/guide/hasetup.html
Also will appreciate if you can suggest a work around towards above HA configuration scenario without utilizing the Symantec Veritas components. i.e. Veritas Storage Foundation, Veritas Volume Replicator, Veritas Cluster Server (VCS), Global Cluster Option (GCO).
I am thinking if we can have a solution by updating the LMS version & achieveing the HA mode without utilizing the Symantec’s VERITAS Storage Foundation products
Awaiting your guidance on above.
Thanks,
Muzammil N.

Error when launching a SCORM course in LMS

I've been publishing SCORM courses from Captivate to my LMS (Training Partner) for several years without any problems. I recently upgraded to CP 6 (6.0.1.240) and now when I launch the module from my LMS I get a message that says:
Does anyone have an idea as to what might cause this?
Thanks for your help!!

I have Training Partner (Geometrix) LMS installed - been using this one for over four years.
My workflow is:
1. Publish Captivate module to a folder with SCORM reporting enabled
2. Copy the published folder to the LMS content web server
3. Create course in LMS configured for SCORM reporting
4. Link for course module points to the .htm file in the course folder
I've used this approach without any issues up until I installed CP6. Now I get the error message on modules published with SCORM reporting enabled. The message does not appear when LMS reporting is not selected.

CP6 HTML5 output not completely displaying on Ipad

I just attempted my first CP6 HTML5 project.
Worked great in Chrome browser.
Worked not so great on Ipad. About 40 pixels of right side of slide cut off and about 30 pixels of bottom cut off (viewing in landscape).
Verified size while viewing in Chrome and is exactly 1024 wide.
CP6 project setup: Selected "Ipad 1024x672".
Published to HTML5 and Zip file (running on LMS)
Any ideas why 1024 won't show up completely on Ipad?
Thanks,
Dave

Got it working. Needed to select the check box labeled "Scalable HTML Content" in the Advanced Options area of the Publish window.

Cp6 project not working on tablets

Hello. I have a Cp6 project that I published as swf and html5 (combo) which runs perfectly on a PC with Windows 7 using either IE9 or Google Chrome. This project is also SCORM 1.2 enabled and works fine on the LMS - either SCORM Cloud or the client's LMS.
The strange thing is when I tested launching on an Android Samsung S Note, it acts like it’s going to launch but never really does. And, it actually did launch and play great the first time I tested it a couple weeks ago on my PC.
I had someone else test the same file on a Nexus 7 tab via SCORM Cloud and all he saw were black screens so it didn't work there either.
One of my counterparts launched it from his Apple products and here are the results. (I published the same project as HTML5 only and asked him to test both.)
PowerBook (Apple)
On the HTML5 alone course I just had a gray screen.
On the full SWF/HTML5 course everything worked as expected, including the video slides and the PDF text versions. There was a visual 'glitch' every time there was a transition from a static slide to video and from a video clip to a static slide.
iPad Gen 2: Neither course worked, all I would get is a gray screen on both of them that didn't lead to anywhere.
iPad Gen 1: Same thing, gray screens on both of them.
Here are the browsers that were tested in the Apple products:
Firefox v. 26.0ts
Safari 6.1.1
Chrome 32.0.1700.77
IE 10.0.9200.16384 (running with Windows 8 through Parallels)
So it seems to be the tables are having issues. Any ideas? Is there anything else I need to do to enable this project to work on tablets - Android or iOS?
Thanks again.

HTML5 should run, but how is an iOS device going to play a SWF? The OP said he published as swf and html5 (combo).
When publishing to SWF and HTML5 there are 3 html files created:
index.html (HTML5 document)
multiscreen.html (Not an HTML5 doctype and uses frameset which is not declared in doctype)
"project name".htm (Not an HTML5 document loading a SWF)
You should be using the multiscreen.html file to determine which content to deliver, and start your troubleshooting from there. You will need to determine which actual file is being used when the different users experience issues.

Course won't load in LMS

We have a number of courses we created in Captivate 5.5 before we were able to upgrade to 6. It seems like most of these courses have had some sort of issue with loading and/or resuming. They'll start to load the player and just hang on "Loading". I've read somewhere that resume data in 5.5 didn't always play nice with the LMS, so we were hoping to republish these courses in 6.
My question is this: Will republishing a 5.5 file through 6 properly fix/update the resume data, or are we basically out of luck with those courses?
Our full situation is a little more complicated, but a clear answer to this would help us fit a piece to the puzzle and eliminate a variable. We republished a 5.5 to 6, replaced it, and it still seems to hang on the load screen. But the odd thing is, it works perfectly fine from other networks. We aren't experiencing any filter/firewall issues between our servers and the LMS, so I can't figure out what's making the Captivate courses in particular hang on just OUR network.
UGH.

Captivate 6 introduced totally new SCORM drivers from the same company that makes the SCORM Cloud online LMS, which is reportedly the most SCORM-compliant LMS on the planet.
Since these SCORM drivers have been introduced we've been seeing far fewer LMS integration issues reported in this Adobe Captivate Forum. So I would definitely recommend that you upgrade Captivate, but I would suggest you do the upgrade to Cp7 now rather than Cp6 and that you go for the Subscription plan so that from now on all your licenses will be using the very latest software. Trying to get good integration with LMSs is a moving target.
Another thing I would suggest is that you make sure there is no caching of Captivate course content being done on your network. It is possible that your issue could be related to older copies of the courses still being served up by Proxy servers. One way to test is to publish the same course with a totally different name and see if it suffers the same problem.

CP6 - True/False Question Type SCORM Problem

We discovered a problem with CP6 and the True/False question type. The screen shot below is the log file of what is passed to the LMS. The question was a True/False question type. The correct answer was False. I selected False and the assessment showed that I got the answer correct. However, the data that is being passed to the LMS is incorrect. CP6 is sending a 't' when you select False and an 'f' when you select True.
Yes, you can get around this by using a Multiple Choice question type and limit the answers to 2 with True and False as the options, but we should not have to do that.
Any suggestions?

There is a long discussion on Jim Leichliter's blog (captivatedev) about this. The team considered this to be correct, Jim disagrees.

Is there a way to store UserName entry without using LMS?

Is there a way to store UserName entry without using LMS? I'd like to create ID and password..seemingly like a registration form in captivate..is this possible?

If you're not talking about storing form field data in some external database (such as an LMS) then your next best option is to store it on the users machine as cookie data.
However, Captivate doesn't provide such a mechanism out of the box. Neither can you do it via Advanced Actions (though that would be an excellent enhancement to AA for Cp6).
It's more the sort of thing that Captivate widgets were designed to do.
