Packaging Multi-SCO Captivate Projects - query

Hi
We are considering upgrading to the eLearning Suite so that we can use the Multi-SCO Packager. For the timebeing I am tried using a free software called Relead Editor. With this, when a learner clicks out of the course early, the next file automatically opens. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the software just isn't seeing the multi-SCOs as one course.
If anyone has used this eLearning Suite Extension, then I would really like to hear from you. Any advice to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Captivate 6 now uses Rustici SCORM drivers and the output is much superior to all previous versions of Cp with regard to LMS integration. Are you manually editing the files in order to create multi-SCORM packages? If so, am I correct in assuming that you bought Cp as a standalone app and do not have the Adobe E-learning Suite with the Multi-SCORM Packager tool?

Difference between Aggregator Project / Multi SCo packager / multi captivate projects with links...

Now I have to admit I am a little lost between the possibilities of captivate 8...
What differences exactly between these developements:
Aggregator project?
Multi sco packager?
or create a single file with mutliple Captivate projects all linked through the Action : "open the project or URL"....?
If I need only a single SCO on one unique completed course, should I use the project aggregator ?
but would the projects sizes be a problem? and explain why to use the Action : "link to project"..rather than the aggregator?
basically I wish one single file with all the courses accessible from one screen / (project?)
reports only on the course followed, resume on the course, back to the course Menu language selection .....
thanks for any help....the more i read the more i am lost... ;(

Thank you for this details.
It seems then that none of this two, aggregator or packager, can be 'twisted' to be used in the Menu selection I need.
Aggregator project?
A way to link several Captivate output files through a common menu created by the aggregator.
>Does using the aggregator mean there are still several / each output files to be uploaded in the LMS separately?
Are you publishing to swf only?
>I publish for the LMS plateform, swf, html, but also for IPads! Would it make a difference?
"You could also have your manifest point to a language selection page which would then launch the applicable Captivate files."
>Is there a good video tutorial that would show how to link and publish captivate projects together? I have created a Cp menu page with buttons that would link to each cp (language) files but I am not sure I do it properly...
I need to be sure what to enter in the Actions/Link to file or link to URL field...and to follow the right step to publish and copy paste the files in the same (callees...) folder...
Many thanks for your help!

Can the multi-sco packager be used to package Muse projects for LMS?

We are currently experimenting with Muse, and we are interested in the posibility of using Muse to develop eLearning courses. Is there any way that Muse projects can be packaged into a zip file that can be loaded into an LMS? Perhaphs using Captivate's multi-sco packager?

Captivate's Multi-SCORM Packager is purely for Captivate content and it usually has to be created by a specific version of Captivate to be compatible with a specific version of the packager app. So, the answer is most likely to be no.

Multi-SCO Packager is not included in Adobe Captivate 6?

I justed downloaded Adobe Captivate 6, and installed it as a trial. I didn't find the Multi-SCO Packager. So it was still not included in Adobe Captivate 6?

Passing no judgement on whether this alignment was a good idea or not...do then consider the eLearning Suite for your next upgrade if the packager is indeed important. HOWEVER, be sure it is - it's a nice tool for easing the upload of many lessons into the LMS...but it does NOT automate Sequencing, which is the somewhat automatic transition between lessons based, as far as I know. It's simply a tool for bundling several separate SCORM packages into one .zip. For instance, in our LMS, uploading a SCORM package made with the Multi-SCO Packager saves time, but results in several separate lessons that have to be individually launched from the LMS anyway...
So you may not be missing out on much
NOW, having the Aggregator suppor Sequencing, THAT would be cool!

Captivate - Multi SCO Packager does not open

eLearning 6.1 was installed on several machines, but neither one could get SCORM to work. From Start > All Programs > Adobe eLearning Suite 6.1 > Multi SCO Packager, it opened a gray empty window. Same problem if I opened from Captivate File > New Porject > Multi SCO Packager. I installed Captivate 6 and Captivate 7 on different machines, I still got the same issue. eLearning6.1/Captivate had the latest updates as well as Windows 7 64-bit SP1.
How to fix this? Please help.

Thanks RodWard, here is a screenshot. The Adobe menu shows the content, but the New Course and Publish Course are inactive.

Aggregator - Multi-SCO Project

Hi all,
I tried to create a multi-SCO project by Aggregator, adding two modules (two Scorm 1.2 packages, first lesson and second lesson), but when I publish the project and try to see it, it doesn't work properly: the second module reset every two/three seconds.
I need to publish more lessons with dependences (for example: I can't see second lesson before ending the first one): it's possible?
Are there any options or settings?
Thank you in advance.
Chiara B.

Anyone?

Help: Multi-SCO Project - Module does not update after reupload.

hi, I created 4 courses in captivate 4 and repackaged them using the multi-sco projezct function in captivate 4. I uploaded the zip file on our LMS and then the developer went ahead to select assemble courses from lms to add two quizzes (not created with captivate) to make another course. Developer selects from a list of courses including ones from the multi-sco project. However when i went to update the Multi-sco files (since they were in capt 4 and now i update it with captivate 5 version), only 3 of the files are updating, one of the modules refuses to update itself. However, when i looked at the multi-sco project i uploaded on the lms it is updated all four courses, but in the new assembled course one of the modules refuses to update. I have tried updating all the files on the lms with the same name as tha particular course but it still doesnt work.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on. And how i can fix it?

yep same problem here
i had this problem and got a replacement handset.
i have had to do an update and got the same issue yet again.
The funny thing is, is when i got my new handset i had to run the email setup application and it worked fine.
now its failed and i have to boot in safe mode and wipe etc.
Will someone sort this out???!! O2, Blackberry whoever. Shambles!

Multi-Sco Package Freezes at End of First SCO

Greetings!
I have created a simple 3-SCO 2004-manifest Multi-SCO package for upload to our LMS.
SCO1 - Pre-Test
SCO2 - Video
SCO3 - Post-Test
My problem is that no matter what I try, the playback freezes at the end of the first SCO and will not proceed to the second one.
Our LMS is Interactyx (which I gather is loosely based on Moodle).
On a lark, I also created a 1.2 manifest version, and it too failed to proceed from one SCO to the next.
In the "At End" options, I have tried forcing it to call the next SCO directly (link and by file name), and I have tried the "Stop" option, and I have tried the "Close" option and I have tried the "Continue" option.
Uploaded separately, each SCO works perfectly - I only have trouble w/ it going from one SCO to the next. I've called Adobe tech support and they've watched it do this via screen sharing and are working on it - but I hoped someone here might have a quick solution.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks/technomagic that will fix this for us?

I am having this exact problem with my MultiSCO. We have several modules set to close after playing. All of the SCOs open one after another perfectly, except that first one. The designer programmed a button on the last slide to open up the next movie in the sequence and it worked. Not as nicely as the other SCOs, but it did work. I know this is way to late to help you, but maybe it will help the next person!

SCORM 2004 version required by Multi Sco Packager 6?

Does anyone know which version of SCORM 2004 is required by the Multi Sco Packager? I have a SCORM .ZIP file packaged for 2004 v2.3 and the MSP is telling me that the SCORM version is "incompatible." Thanks! Laura

Hi there,
Welcome to Adobe Community.
If you are getting that error then try changing the Scorm 2004 version to 3rd edition under the manifest.
Thanks!

Multi-SCO Packager Lesson Hierarchy

I am creating a course using the Multi-SCO Packager. When I test my course in Scorm Cloud, the Scorm player designates my first Lesson as the 'parent' lesson and all the other lessons it's 'children'. How do I remove this indentation so all lessons are on the same level?

I tested using both the Multiple SCO template in 1.2 and 2004. I also tested using the Simple Remediation which produced the same 'indented' result. I just tested the course again after shortening the title of the initial lesson and that seemed to resolve the issue, However I would like to resolve this without changing the title length if possible. Any other ideas? Thanks!

How can I create a new skin (other than the default skins) for my Captivate Project?

Hi everyone,
I am working on a project where my client wants me to create a player skin which is completely different from the default themes that captivate has already. The design which client has shared with me contains in this way:
1. TOC - should be truncated and can be expanded by pressing "+" button against the Navigation Text. Its like opening and closing the menu bar using + and - buttons
2. Playback controls required by him are also not in the default skins.
I dont know, if there is any way to customize the skins to this level inside captivate.
Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards
Vikas Sharma

Unlikely, I'm afraid.
The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules. This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections. But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either.
If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool. E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver. Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project. But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

Questions about multi-sco and Aggregator

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a multi-sco course with three lessons using Captivate Aggregator, but I have some problems.
First of all, once first lesson finishes, the second doesn't automatically start: the course stops at the end of first lesson.
How do I get to the second lesson to launch automatically when I finish the first one?
Scorm version is 1.2 (I can't use 2004), Captivate settings are the follows:
Project
First lesson's last slide
- on slide enter: continue
-on slide exit: go to next slide
Last slide button
-on success: continue
- allow user infinite attempts
After that, I create second and third slide and then the multi-sco project with Aggregator, but It doesn't work.
I'm testing it both on LMS and in local with Reload Scorm Player.
There is another problem: on this forum and in this tutorial (http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/01/ at the end of page) It suggest to add on aggregator files swfs: if I open Aggregator and select multi-sco project, I CAN'T add anything but zip.files.
In tutorial under "adding Flash swfs" It allows adding both zip and swfs.... in my Aggregator not.
Tutorial:
My aggregator:
I can't understand why.
Any hints?

I am FAR from being an expert with Aggregator and Multi-SCO builder, but I have learned this much:
a. Aggregator is far simpler to use and works more consistently. To get one course to open first, once you "ADD" the courses in Aggregator, use the ARrow tool to move the one you want to open first up.
b. Multi_SCO is much more complicated to use, but I think that is really what you want to use, unless you like that huge gray tab hanging off the side.
I am LEARNING this stuff every day and here is what I know so far... somebody out there please jump in and correct me if I'm wrong but here's the way I am trying to use the MULTI-SCO builder. I am doing this....
1. I have a course with 8 modules. Even tho every module doesn't have a test, it still needds to have a Manifest. To do that, I go into each course and turn ON "Report Score." Inside each module, within the SCORM Manifest, I then give each module a DIFFERENT sco identifier name. I use numbers with the names and keep the order sequential, depending on what I want to load when... i.e., SCO_1 (no spaces in the names here) for the first course, and SCO_2.
2. Now, I have to publish each and every module as a ZIPPED file (with Reporting turned on) so that -- in my case -- I end up with 8 zipped files. The names of the files don't matter, but inside the SCO I kept the SCO numbers sequential.
3. When I have all my modules zipped up, I then open COURSE AGGREGATOR and select the option "Multi-SCO". This will bring up its own little kind of SCO REPORTING box and asks for a SCO name again. This time, I named the course SCO_0... and give it a name. NOW I add my zipped files one at a time, as well as the Javascripts and all that stuff that tell the LMS which order I want them to appear in the course.
4- I save & PUBLISH the mutli-SCO.. and what THAT does is create one BIG zipped file that contains all the littler zipped files, PLUS it writes a "master course" manifest and all that other stuff that instrcuts the LMS to read each SCO in order.
I may not be exactly write, but I am very close... if anybody else can chime in and correct any wrong parts here, we could figure this thing out and document it ourself... since Adobe has totally fallen down on the job.
Good luck witih it!!!
If I am on the right track... it is the order in which the LMS reads the SCOs

Multi SCO 6 not downloading in eLearning Suite 6?

I downloaded and installed eLearning Suite 6 which includes Multi SCO packager 6 today on my MacBook. I cannot find where it installed Multi SCO 6 anywhere. It shows everything else and I need Multi SCO 6. That was one of the reasons I needed to upgrade from eLearning Ste 2.5. Can anyone help me understand why I can't see it in my Applications?
Thanks

In Captivate, look under the File > New... Menu items.
You should see one there that mentions Multi SCO.

Combining Captivate Projects in Captivate 8

How do I combine multiple Captivate projects together easily in Captivate 8?

Hi,
You can use Aggregator to combine multiple swf files. Please refer to the below link :
Adobe Captivate * Combining multiple SWF files with aggregator
If you are using any LMS then you can also use "Multi-SCORM Packager" to combine different modules. Please refer to the below link:
