Reporting slide views only

Using Captivate 5 and my courses will be published to an SAP LMS and I'd like to give a passing mark when the student has viewed the entire course instead of requiring them to get the quiz questions correct.
Initially, I was making the last forward navigation part of the score, but I am wondering if Slide Views Only will work. If I have 20 slides in my lesson and set that to 20, can that be used to impart a complete or pass mark?

Hello Darren,
I'm using another LMS, so not sure that this works for all! And moreover, I'm not sure that a slide is considered as viewed if its total timeline has not played. That happens often in a CP-file, just an example: if you insert a button, with as Success action 'Go to Next Slide', the part of the timeline after the pausing point will not be played, thus the slide will not be considered as totally viewed.
Is this a linear course or do you allow to go Back? I have proposed a solution somewhere in a thread, by creating a user variable as a counter, that will be incremented whenever a slide is visited for the first time (on Enter event, because that will always be executed, which is not the case for On Exit). And activate a button on the last slide with a score that will be only made visible when the counter has reached the total amount of slides. If this score is set as passing score, this should work with any SCORM-compliant LMS.

Slide views only to be reported, but grade is reporting to lms as 0 instead of n/a

My client has a number of quiz questions throughout their course. They asked that the quiz be set up to allow infinite attempts until the learner gets the answer right, and that there are no points or grade associated with the quiz. I've set up each question as a quiz question, but set the grade to be 0. I did it as a quiz question as there are matching type questions, multiple choice, etc. and I found it valuable to have the structure in place to add in the content. The reporting preferences are set up as to report back slide views only, but when this file communicates with the LMS, it is reporting back a pass/complete but giving a grade of 0. I'd like it to show up as n/a under the grade rather than 0.
Also, this course isn't booking marking and learners aren't happy because when they go back in their answers aren't saving. As well, the client wanted backward movement to be allowed but when the learner clicks the back button to go back through the slides, it automatically resets the question slides and they have to re-answer them to continue. Is there a way to change a setting so that the answers will stay in place?
And my last question (promise, sorry for so many) under the quiz settings and then required there are 4 options. I'm just wondering if anyone can explain these 4 options and what each do, so that I can make sure I'm selecting the best one. Up until now it's been a trial/error type of thing, but it would be great if anyone can share some additional info.

Thanks so much! I'm the only one working in Captivate, and so I can't even tell you how helpful it is to have replies and people that understand what I'm asking.
I looked into the manifest file, but I couldn't seem to find the masteryscore text. Here's a copy and paste of my manifest file. Am I missing something?

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...

Slide Views and Completion

I cap 2, in quiz manager reporting, I select Report
Complete/Incomplete and then I select Report slide views only (set
at 100%). Is this theoretically causing the SCO to be reported as
complete if all slides are viewed?
Help doesn't say about the slides option.

I am publishing to SCORM 4.
The tool I am using is Redbird Software's
Trident.
http://www.scormsoft.com/
I feel that still has a bit more development to be done to be
as newbie-friendly as it could be (mainly with regard to help
files) but I am starting to get the hang of it. You still have to
know a good bit about how SCORM works. Some nice features, though.
Our LMS vendor is still struggling to get their SCORM player
sorted, so I have yet to do a formal test there. However, the
output runs with the ADL test environment.

SCORM 1.2 and Saba - Reporting a 0 Score for Track Slide views

Good morning,
We have just transitioned over to our new LMS, Saba. To say the transition has been rocky would be an understatement. So, here is what I am dealing with:
I have a very basic reader course where I want to grant someone credit once they have viewed all slides. I am using SCORM 1.2 and setting either "User Access Only" or "Slide Views Only." If I use slide views, I set it to 1, it sends a 0 score to the LMS, even if the user views all slides. I have been able to create a fix by assigning a point value to a click box or button at the screen where I want the user to get credit. However, this does not seem to be what was intended.
Below are screen shots of my publishing commands, Saba screens, and communication report between Saba and CP.

I would suggest you try using Percent instead of Score, and set the Slide View completion percentage to 100 instead of 1.
Change Reporting Level to Score instead of Interactions and Score.
You haven't shown the screen for Quiz > Pass or Fail settings, but you need to set the passing percentage there to 100% as well if you intend that the learner must view every single slide.
Bear in mind that when using slide views, if you have any navigation buttons on the slides that are set to jump to the next slide when clicked, then the learner does not get a completion mark for those slides. In Captivate you have to watch a slide all the way to the last frame in order to get it marked as completed. If for some reason you need to get slides marked as completed despite not being viewed (e.g. when using branching) then you can use our TickTOC widget to gain credit for those slides that are missed or not watched to the end.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/ticktoc
If you suspect that not all slides will be viewed, you can adjust the Pass/Fail percentage to something less than 100% to allow for the missed ones.
Try these changes and see if it works.
Once you DO find the settings that allow Captivate to work with SABA I would be very interested to know what they were. I've got a page on my website where I want to show the Captivate config settings for SABA: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/lms_guide/saba I don't have access to this LMS myself, but perhaps you or other SABA users on this forum can contribute information to make it easier for others to work with it.

LMS not reporting complete for slide views

Hi,
I am trying to get my captivate projects to report competion status as complete to the LMS based on slide views. For testing I have created a very simple two slide Captivate. Both slides have 3 second durations, one caption each and nothing else, so the whole project runs for 6 seconds without any pauses, quizes or interactions of any kind. I have used SCORM cloud to view the SCORM calls being made by the package, and it is not reporting completion to the LMS.
I am using the following settings in reporting:
Any help will be really appreciated. Im about to watch http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=set_registered&id=1775550&loc=en_us to see if that can help. My backup plan is to put an interaction on the last slide but that's going to mess with my quiz results for the projects that do include quizzes (This is also why im reporting Quiz Results and Slide Views).
Note: with these settings, passing a quiz causes the captivate to report completion.
Thanks for any help
Andrew Downes

I'm not sure of this and defer to any contrary/additional replies that may follow...but...
Past versions of CP have required some sort of scored interaction in order for the lesson to properly report via SCORM to the LMS.
If you have a CP lesson without any scored interactions (no 'reporting'), that may be why completion is being recorded to the LMS.
SO try setting up one scored interaction as you suggest.
For CP lessons that do have quizzes, you won't need that separate scored interaction.
You'll also likely want to change you settings to just 'Slide Views Only' if you just want completion reported based on them viewing the whole project, and I suspect Slide View Completion should be 100, not 10...
Let us know how that goes...

Tracking slide view completions in LMS - varies with Browser

Hi
I have a captivate 4 module which is published to SCORM 1.2. The module has no quiz as the customer just wishes to know when all slides have been viewed. So have published using the Report Status - Complete, Report to LMS - percent, Report Data - slide views only, slideview completion 100%.
When runing from an LMS the reporting shows correctly i.e 1 instance of complete unless you look at the detailed tracking in which case you see all slides viewed. But this is browser dependant, works fine in IE7 and 8, but in IE6 and Chrome you just get the full list of every slide viewed. Any ideas what might be causing this? Obvoiusly I'd like the customer to just have the summary all complete, but typically they have IE6 or Chrome.
Thanks

You might want to see this link.
I have personally use it on our projects created with Cp3 and Cp4 but haven't tried it with Cp5.5. And no score is being sent in our LMS.
Let me know how will it behave with Cp5.5.
Hope this helps.

Setting SCORM 1.2 to force a mastery score in the manifest even when only slide views are used to tr

I have some courses that use only slide views to track completion, because the quizzes are set as separate elements in the LMS we are using (from Oracle PeopleSoft). The LMS people are telling me they require a masteryscore of 0 to be included in the SCORM manifest file when using slide views. However, when the manifest files are created, there is no mastery score included in the manifest.
Is there a way to force Captvate 6 to publish a mastery score in the SCORM manifest even when the completion criteria are 80% slide views?

I am not sure, but you can always unzip the SCORm package and add the masteryscore by hand
In your manifest there should be an organizations section like this. Add <adlcp:masteryscore> under the <item> tag
<organization identifier="org-ident">
<title>Course Title</title>
<item identifier="some_id_1" identifierref="some_id_1-1" isvisible="true">
<title>Course Title</title>
<adlcp:masteryscore>0</adlcp:masteryscore>
</item>
</organization>
</organizations>
The above example has a single SCO with an ID of "some_id_1-1" an activity id of "some_id_1" and a masteryscore of 0. The masteryscore can be between 0 an 100

How to view only select images out of a collection of digitized slides

I have not yet purchased adobe photo software. Which version is the simplest to accomplish what I want to do and is it simple? Or do I even need photo software. I have digitized my 50 years of slides. They are in large folders on the computer. Each folder is labelled only with a time period. Each image was corrected via MS Photo Gallery and then tagged or labelled with who or what, where and when.
How can I best send them out to the children to view on their computers but with a way for them to select and view only the ones they are interested in out of the thousands. Like " Diana" or "Grand Canyon 2010". We are 75 and not very computer literate yet. We have done this once now and want to take the next step to make it a user friendly resource for our kids and grandchildren

Certainly, Lightroom or Photoshop Elements will do this. As far as I know, the freeware Picasa should be able to do this as well. If you are not very computer literate, you probably would want to start with Picasa.
If your needs are no more complicated than described above, you could also use your operating system to search for keywords. Of course, if you need other features from photo software, then your operating system isn't sufficient.

Safari auto-downloading previously view-only PDFs

Hi everyone,
Begrudgingly working my way through Lion's changes in the middle of a work-week.. Not the best use of my time, but oh well!
I have an issue with certain websites, where on Snow Leopard, clicking a PDF report of something would open a new Safari window with the PDF displayed.
On Lion, when I click the same PDF report it automatically downloads and then opens in Preview.
In this particular circumstance, I bounce back and forth between reports quite often, and would rather not have 30 or 40 downloaded PDFs in my downloads folder.
Does anyone know if there is a preference or a command I need to activate in order to "view-only" these PDFs rather than have them automatically download?
I looked in Preferences but did not see anything relating to what I am looking for.
Thank you in advance for your help.
CW

+1 on this.
I'm in process of writing a textbook chapter, and I would like to be able to view PDFs inside of Safari rather than having to navigate to the downloads folder, opening the file, deciding if I want to keep it, and then managing the file. Was better in the previous version where the pdf would display inside the window and I could read the paper's abstract and then decide if I wanted to save it.

Is there a way to create or use a "slide viewed" variable?

Hi, I would like to write a conditional action based on whether or not a learner has visited slide. I realize I could write an individual variable for every single slide, but that would be a very slow and manual way to set this up. From a logic perspective, I wanted to set up a single project action that would look something like this.
If "slide viewed" = no, then do this...
If "slide viewed" = yes, then don't do anything.
Theoretically, it would seem possible since you can show a checkmark in the TOC next to a visited slide, but I can't quite figure out how to apply this to my project actions.
Is something like this possible in Captivate 6 or 7?

Disclaimer: I've only tried this with a couple slides, with very little error checking, but here's a single action approach I came up with.
First I created a tracker variable. Then I labelled each slide with a single, distinct letter/number/character. (Not sure if there are any characters you should stay away from; maybe someone else can tell you which ones might cause problems as a slide name/label). So you might run out of letters/numbers/characters if you have a ton of slides. If you have enough unique, one-letter names, however, this is the logic behind the advanced action:
If slide_tracker contains cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel
Then: continue
Else: do whatever you want it to do
slide_tracker = slide_tracker + cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel
So basically, if we've already been to this slide, the slide label will already been appended to our tracker variable. Thus it will contain the unique letter/symbol/number, and will do nothing (continue). If we haven't been to this slide, then we can do whatever we want to do and update the tracker to reflect that we've now been to this slide.
Again, a disclaimer: I spent only five minutes trying this out, so there may be unforseen issues with it.

How to track the number slides view on LMS

Hi,
I would like to know how to get a percentage of slides view on a LMS platform.
For example, I don't know how to get a percentage of 5 if I see 5 slides of 100 slides.
I don't know if it's possible with Captivate and if there is an option for that.
On our LMS, we get 0, 50 or 100% but we would like to get a more precise result.
I tried on SCORM CLOUD too and only get 0,00%.
Do you guys have the solution?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Vanessa
PS: I'm not native english so sorry if I made some spelling mistakes (I'm French). I wanted to post here because you find more answers on english forums than french forums.

There is not a SCORM value for slides viewed. What SCORM field/value are you seeing this percentage in?
Also, what version of SCORM are you publishing?
You would need to alter the scormdriver.js file in order to post the results that you want. I am in the process of writing a blog to change CP's bookmarking behavior. With this code it would be fairly simple to add some code to display the info in the comments (SCORM 1.2).

Captivate 5.5 is setting a Mastery Score in the Manifest when using Slide Views

We have encountered a problem with Captivate 5.5 where it is setting the Mastery Score in the manifest to match the Quiz score setting even though we are only using slide views to track completion. This is a problem because if we set the score to zero, our Saba LMS will immediately grant the user credit for the course on the first slide. If we set the score higher than zero, the user will never get credit for the course as Captivate doesn't send a score to the LMS when using slide views to track completion. Our LMS seems to ignore the status passed by the course once the Mastery Score is set. We have compared the manifest behavior in 5.0 and it does NOT set the Mastery Score. We can edit the manifest prior to loading in the LMS but this is a hassle and we'd like to figure out a way to permanently change the behavior to no longer set Mastery Score when using Slide Views to track completion.

Hi,
I believe the easiest way to do this is to edit the manifest.xml file in the Captivate Templates folder. I posted instructions on doing that here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/956390?tstart=0
Hope this solves your issue. V
