Marking "complete" in the LMS

Is there a way to have a slide in a project and some how designate that that slide does not need to be visited in order to mark completion in an LMS?
In my project, I would like to have a Resource page within my course that users can access "if they want/need to", then have that page take them back to their last visited page.
However, not everyone will need to see this page and therefore not everyone will click to access it, ultimately affecting the LMS conmpletion status since some people won't view the slide.
I'm trying to replecate a functionality in Articulate where there's a Resource tab users can refer to throughout the course....
I've thought about changing the completion percentage in the preferences, but I'm concerned that isn't the best solution.
any other ideas for this?

If you are NOT on Captivate 6, you can use the TickTOC widget to have the Resources slide marked as complete regardless of whether or not it was visited.
Trial version available here if you want to give it a go: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
Unfortunately, Adobe changed something in Captivate 6 that means this widget cannot work in that version, but it will work in all versions from Cp4 to 5.5.

Branching and the LMS

In my latest project I took advantage of Captivate 3's
branching to create a nonlinear, menu-based course with 4 lessons.
As a user reaches the last frame of a lesson, they click on a
continue button that is tracked and is navigated back to the Menu.
My problem is that if I use Pass/Fail setting, the course
doesn't mark complete in the LMS. If I use Complete/Incomplete
setting, it marks complete after any one module is finished.
In the LMS, the course is loaded as SCORM 1.2 and has a
Mastery Score of 80, as does the Captivate file.
I know that I'm getting communication with the LMs, because
when I log back into the course it picks up where I left off. So,
the command to set cmi.core.lesson_location is working.

Thanks for the reply.
Well, as far as linking the project is concerned, I have
already successfully set it up to do so. I just have to cofigure
the scorm and/or the LMS to get the reporting to work.
The only thread I could find that was relevant with feedback
was the one linking to the plugin for Dreamweaver, "Manifest
Maker". If this is not the thread you mentioned, can you link me to
the other?
I'm definitely interested in learning how to "hack" the code
or settings to get it to work.
From what I've gathered, I need to set it up to work with
multiple SCOs. Now I'm not sure if I need to set up the original
project and the linked project as SCOs or just one of them. I also
have the feeling that I'd need to set up a "container" SCO to
handle the others. Is this correct?
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

How to send progess info to the LMS

My organization is new to Captivate 7 and we're having a problem with our first course. We currently use a Meridian LMS and have been using OutStart Evolution to create content.
We are having problems with a small percentage of our learners not getting credit for the course. We've eliminated the simple problems (e.g. closing the course with the red X instead of the Exit button), but now our LMS technical people believe that the problem might be that our Captivate course, unlike Evolution, isn't sending parsing information on the course's progress after each slide but is instead waiting until the learner selects the "Exit" button at the end of the course and then sending it all at once. The thought is that the course is shutting down before the handshake for the information transfer is complete and the LMS isn't getting the right information that the learner has actually successfully completed the course.
Does anyone recognize this issue and, if so, is there something we should be doing when building the course in Captivate to alleviate this problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Jay

You will need to show us screenshots of your settings in the Quiz Settings dialog, especially those settings that relate to SCORM.
It sounds like you may not have things set up properly.

Adobe Captivate 4 - Tracking AICC to the LMS issue

Hi,
I created a Captivate 4 Quiz; I published the Quiz with the AICC reporting option and as a result Captivate 4 created the files shown below:
I hosted all these files in the same server, same folder, and same domain where the Isoph Blue (Learn Something) LMS is installed. I also published the course from the LMS and it seems to be OK.
When participants login and launch the course from the LMS the course works very well. All questions are shown, correct and incorrect answers are also shown at the end. The quiz window is closed at the end without problem.
The issue is that there is not notification to the LMS of course completion, the Icon (located on the right of the image shown below) that tells the participant course is completed does not change the status. It does not change from Launch to Print Certificate status.
The Captivate is not tracking correctly course completion to the LMS. So, we can not track user activity neither print the certificate at the end of the course.
Can you please help me troubleshoot this issue?
What can I do to make this course completion notification works with the LMS?
I can provide more information, files and details on how I created the course, etc.
Note: Isoph Blue is AICC compatible, there are other (*.aspx) courses that are tracked via AICC and they are tracked correctly, the issue is only with Captivate 4. We also have Captivate 3.

Hi there
I certainly cannot claim to be any sort of expert on the H.264 format, but Captivate 4 only produces SWF, EXE and AVI formats. So you are correct in that you would need to convert from either the SWF or AVI format to an H.264 format. From what I understand, AVI and MP4 are the two file extensions you may find H.264 file format used. So I suppose it's possible to say that if you have a CODEC (Compressor/Decompressor) installed for H.264, Captivate could spit out an AVI encoded in H.264 format.
More information on H.264 at the links below:
H.264 FAQ & Basic Conversion Guide
WikiPedia article on H.264 format
Hopefully this helps... Rick

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==$0"* of type TRIGGER not found in
schema "ABS"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2805
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
no rows selected
I THINK BIN$... triggers are dropped triggers in the DB recycle bin???

Completed tracking in LMS

We need to create settings in CP3 which will result in a
tracking in our LMS reporting completed/non-completed. This should
be based on a mastery score of 50%, ie if the student has completed
minimum 50% of the frames/screens, he will see status completed in
the LMS. This worked for us using RapidBuilder (swf flash files) in
Webmentor LMS.
Hope anyone can help. We are new to Captivate an are in
desperate need to have this issue solved.

Adobe Presenter Course not Marking Complete in LMS

We have a course built with Adobe Presenter and was loaded into our LMS (sumtotal 7.5). After completing the course, it is not marking completions.
Here is what the settings are set for the course in Adobe Presenter:
- enable reporting (checked) for SCORM
- Incomplete--> Complete
- success/completion criteria = user access
- data to report = quiz score = points
Any suggestions?

Hopefully your SumTotal folks may have an answer...likely this has come up before?
If not, better to ask in the Presenter forum (curiously hidden way in the Connect forum):

Or check out this article - it's old, but maybe still helpful?

How can we send status to the LMS other than pass/fail, complete/incomplete?

We have a Captivate module generated as SCORM 1.2 which passes Complete/Incomplete to the LMS. The quiz is at the end of the module - if the user exits the module prior to attempting the quiz, we would like to send 'Not Evaluated' back to the LMS rather than Incomplete (which happens today).
Module is developed using Captivate 7.0.1
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi,
You should do it using the FM for FTP´ing the files, check the link bellow:

How do I mark complete based on slide views only and not report a score

I am having a problem with the e-learning modules that I am producing in Captivate 4 (and previously 3). The modules do not contain any quiz and I am only interested in having them report a complete/incomplete based on if the user have viewed 80% of the slide. I am not really interested in reporting any score since I am not using a quiz.
Currently the courses gets marked as complete but with a score of 0%, which obiously some users find strange..
Since I only have the option to change the score reporting to be based on score or percenatge I am trying to find where I can change the imsmanifest to send the score - BLANK or NULL instead of 0. I have been looking through the imsmanifest it self and the files in the scorm support folder - but cannot figure where I would do this change.
Any suggestions?

Hi Andrew,
I tried this with a slight change in the code (I think there where a / when commenting out the second line of the code):
} else if ( strFSCmd == "LMSSetValue" || strFSCmd=="SetValue") {
// AEC: OVERRIDE BEHAVIOR
if(strFSArg1.indexOf("raw") > -1)
strErr = "";
} else if (strFSArg1.indexOf("max") > -1) {
strErr = "";
} else if (strFSArg1.indexOf("min") > -1) {
strErr = "";
} else {
strErr = eval('g_objAPI.' + strFSCmd + '(\"' + strFSArg1 + '\",\"' + strFSArg2 + '\");');
// AEC: END OVERRIDE BEHAVIOR
CaptivateObj.SetVariable(strFSArg3, strErr);
However for some reason my LMS still report a score (this time 100% which is much better than 0...) on the course that I tested this on. I was expecting no score to be sent. Can this be due to how the LMS is interpreting what is being sent or is there something that I am missing?
One more question - in which folder do I find the SCORM.htm template file? I thought it was a great idea to create a custom on and was looking for it in the progam file on my compter - but couldn't find it...

How do I get results from the LMS?

I have created an assessment with click boxes, and question slides in Captivate3. I place the course on our LMS (CornerstoneOnDemand) and users can take the course, see their score at the end, and if they pass, the course is marked completed. That is all working.
What I want to know is how can I know which questions people are getting wrong?
In Captivate I noticed Objective ID and Interaction ID fields on the Reporting tab for the click boxes, so I am thinking I could put in an name/label that would make sense so I know which question (clickbox) is what.
Is a file created that stores all this information (user's input, selections, results)? If so, what is that file, how do I access it, what is it called?
Please help.
Larena

I'm not using your LMS, but a LMS based on Blackboard. When the option 'Interactions and Score' is activated in CP-Quiz settings, the gradebook in Blackboard can be used to open for each student the file associated with his score. In this file you'll find all answers, but it helps if you use some meaningful identifiers for the items. It is also possible to download the result files for all the students. I believe this should be a functionality of the LMS/SCORM but cannot help you with the name of the file.

Exit and Mark Complete?

Hi,
This is my first post i'm doing some work for a client who wants the e-learning courses we have created on an LMS which will be accessed using an iPad. I can get this working however it has to have an Exit and Mark complete button at the end of the course which closes the course tab. This however is where the issue lies as I see in the release notes for this converter that the Execute Javascript action isn't supported which is what I normally use to do this. Is there any other way of doing this? This is also using SCORM 1.2 and the client would actually prefer it if we used AICC is there any news on when AICC might be supported? or a full release date for this product?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks,
Joe

Hi Shadowtuck,
the retrieving status you see via the Lync Server 2013 control panel for the Lync Server 2010 front end is normal behaviour
and nothing to be concerenced about, as is the the green tick not showing for step two in the deployment wizard. I have seen this behaviour in all Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013 migrations I have performed for customers. Thanks.

Content has not sent any info back to the LMS after the LMSInitialise

We created a content piece with Cpativate 3 and it looks like
the content has not sent any info back to the LMS after the
LMSInitialise. So as per the SCORM standards, the LMS marks it as
complete when the player window closes.
The content needs to send back a status of incomplete as soon
as it has done the LMSInitialise. The lesson_status = incomplete
was sent by the LMS to the content, not the other way round.
Is this because the content was delaying sending back a
lesson_status of incomplete to the LMS, so the LMS was just marking
it as complete if the content was closed too early.
If anyone has had a similar issue like this and discovered a
fix, please let me know.
Regards,
Ryan

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. We are using Saba and they have fed
back to me that they have experienced problems before using

it is on my end. I will forwqard the piece onto you soon.

Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.
http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/13/repair-disk-permissions-mac-os-x/
Or try the methods apple recommends..
OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

Need help with BES 10 activation error: "Device activation can't be completed because the setup process or a training tutorial is running"

Hi All,
I am having a hard time finding any info on this activation error, and I really can't get to the bottom of it. When I enter my companie's activation code for the BES 10 network, it gives me the following message:
" Device activation can't be completed because the setup process or a training tutorial is running on your device. Try again later."
It would be nice if the msg could be a little more specific! But anyway, I have tried all the traditional fixes, battery pulls, re&re to BES, etc. but still nothing. My last option is to wipe and see if that works but curious to see if anyone has run into this before.
PS I have a Z10 STL100-3
Thanks in advance!
cheers

I accidently unmarked the book marks tool bar, the tool bar and the menu bar how do i get them back ?becaus now only the tabs are visible and i cant access my features or book marks

i was getting to know my firefox so i accidentally unmarked the menu bar the book marks tool bar and the tool bar. so now only my tabs are visible and i cant get to any of my add-ons or extensions.
and even surfing the net has become difficult cause there is almost nothing i can do with a new empty tab.
how can i get these bars back. i tried taking the cursor up to the thin line above the tabs and the window border but the menu to mark the above mentioned features does not appear any more.
i tried restarting firefox several times but it didn't work. i even uninstalled and completely downloaded a new version of firefox and installed it but the problem still persists.
i am operations system is windows XP.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.
