Send Flash Score to Plateau LMS

Does anyone know how to send a score to the Plateau LMS from
Flash?
On frame 2, in my Actions pane, I have:
fscommand("CMIInitialize");
fscommand("MM_cmiSetLessonStatus", "i");
On frame 47, in my Actions pane, I have:
fscommand("MM_cmiSetLessonStatus", "c");
fscommand("CMISetScore", "100");
fscommand("CMIFinish");
fscommand("CMIExitAU");
However, when it gets to Frame 2 it shows me the Flash
content, and
opens a browser window that says "The page cannot be
displayed..."
In the address field, the file is showing PwsAicc, even
though I don't
have a file with that name.
I've been gleaning little bits and pieces from this newsgroup
on how
to do it, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any help would be GREAT!

Coursebuilder - Sending a score to an LMS

Hello Forum members,
I am fairly new to Dreamweaver/Coursebuilder and am charge of
validating this in an LMS (Plateau). I created a site in
Dreamweaver and using Coursebuilder placed 2 questions on 1 html
page. I believe I have selected the proper settings within the
questions. I am wondering how to add the scores of these questions
and make sure that if someone scores a certain percentage on this
test, they can submit their results (in a percentage format) to the
LMS, otherwise, if the user scores below the required percentage,
they are required to retake this test. My guess is that I need to
place a button on a the page that has some kind of javascript
behind it (totalscore...).
I already have instructions on how to package the SCO for an
LMS. I am just missing this middle part.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Tx-
Sue

If it can't go through as an iMessage for some reason it will go through as a regular text message. This frequently happens to me when I text my husband at his workplace, which has spotty coverage. For us it's fine because we also have an unlimited texting plan.

Captivate 3 Not Reporting Scores to TEDS LMS

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for taking a moment to read through this.
I'm trying to build a course in Cap-3, using the TEDS LMS (SCORM 1.2).
The course runs fine, but is not sending the scores to our LMS. I'm not the *most* techincal of folks, but I want to exhaust my troubleshooting first.
Here's what I've tried.
First:
Screen shot of the repeated failures (quiz is a generic 2 question quiz):
It's a little hard to see, basically it shows my three quiz results with "Failed" after each.
Each time I took the quiz, I passed with 100%. I set the pass threshold to 80.
Here are the steps I've taken so far:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/122880#122880
Attempted steps in PDF, adjusting HTML to increase SCORM API load time
Adjusted HTML to comment out one line
Added a blank button slide
http://forums.adobe.com/message/751946#751946
Attempted to change quiz information to the following:
-Complete/Incomplete
-Quiz Results Only
-Score
-Report Score (And Report Score and Interactions)
Same Forum:
Added a button on a new slide that executed LMSFinish() javascript.
All tests result in a failed result.
I know there's a lot of other technical tests I can run, but basically my only options right now are to modify things in Captivate and upload new tests to TEDS FTP.
If you feel I've exhausted all my options, I understand!
Thanks for your assistance.

I've not lookede through the previous thread, but you've done variations on the settings?
You have tried Pass/Fail instead of Complete/Incomplete? Generally, if you want a score to show, you need to use Pass/Fail. That's not always true, but a score is generally not associated with Complete/Incomplete in SCORM 1.2 (in my understanding).
Have you tried the lesson through any test suite outside the LMS itself? That'd be my next step. The ADL Test Suite is the 'offical' tool for such testing but isn't very user friendly. Otherwise I'd suggest Rustici's Test Track
http://www.scorm.com/scorm-solved/test-track/
or the Reload Editor (which I've not used and am not 100% sure is for SCORM validation)
http://www.reload.ac.uk
Run the lesson through some SCORM tester and see if the values passed are what you expect. If not, change the settings, publish, and test again. A lot more efficient, hopefully, than going through the LMS itself and allows you to possibly determine an LMS issue over a lesson issue.

Sending flash quiz results to an LMS

Hey Guys,
Using Flash CS3, having issues getting flash to send quiz results to a LMS. Using the Flash quiz templates, exporting with SCORM 1.2 compliance. The LMS is able to track times attempted and if the lesson was complete or not, however the quiz results don't reach the LMS.
I think this can be resolved in the actionscript or the javascript that gets exported with the HTML file
Apparently you can control the javascript functions with FScommands from actionscript
Something like fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw" + "," + integer);
I don't know where in the actionscript this should be triggered from
I can't find documentation from adobe about this function
Has anyone else come across this issue?

In case anyone was interested in an answer to this
Apparently fscommands are an older way of getting data to an LMS
The current way of doing it is using an external class to handle calls to and from the LMS
Philip Hutchison's site http://pipwerks.com/ has alot of helpful information on this topic
A good starting point is here http://pipwerks.com/2008/04/27/how-to-add-basic-scorm-code-to-a-flash-movie/
Hope this helps someone

CS3 Learning Interaction & Plateau LMS

I created a Flash CS3 Learning Interaction and published it
as AICC to be launched through a Plateau LMS. The quiz launches
correctly but does not pass the score or completion status. Does
anyone know what the Activity ID and Activity Name should be for a
Plateau LMS? I tried it using the Item ID and the Content Object ID
already.
Thanks!

So you are trying to return the value of the text field

Captivate3 score transmission to LMS not working in Firefox

We are experiencing a troubling problem with Captivate 3 quiz scores not transmitting to the LMS when using Firefox. The exact same functionality works perfectly in IE. We have narrowed it down to a TIMING problem for how quickly data is passed to the LMS, which differs by browser, and we would like to know if anyone has a solution (other than telling users only to use IE --- not an option).
Using Firefox:
When you finish the course quiz, the score is calculated and reported correctly within Captivate. When you exit the course immediately after that, a PARTIAL score is reported to the LMS, it is almost always incorrect, and it varies from session to session. For example, if you scored 100% (and Captivate told you that), the completion status and score will show up in the LMS as 20%, 30%, or some small percentage that is less than a passing grade and definitely less than 100%.
The critical thing we've noticed is that Captivate will take a long time (almost 3 minutes!) while it sits and processes data at the end of the quiz, on the Results screen. You can see the cursor reacting, which is a visual cue that processing is still happening. If you wait for that processing to finish and THEN check your score in the LMS, *amazingly* it is correct (100%). But if you exit the course normally, without waiting 3 minutes to return to the LMS, your score will not be correctly reported. So... why is there this lag, and why is it reporting ANY score at all if processing is still occurring, as opposed to a zero score? What is it processing that takes so long and when is it sending what to the LMS?? This gets even more interesting when you see how it works in a different browser...
Using IE:
There is no processing lag and never a problem. All scores are reported correctly and immediately when you exit the course and go to the LMS.
We have been trying to isolate the problem and figure out why Firefox handles this differently than IE and what we can do to fix it.
I have stripped the lesson down to only 10 interactions (clickables) that are included in the Quiz score. All other objects are set to 0, and not included in the quiz. Advanced Interaction map verifies a clean slate.
Quiz Reporting is set to:
Enable reporting (checked)
SCORM version 1.2
80% = passing grade
Report Pass or Fail = Status as defined by report data
Report Data = Quiz Results Only
Report Score to LMS = Percent
Reporting Level = Report Score (I'm not reporting or tracking interactions)
Our LMS is Pathlore.
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on with Captivate vs. Firefox and what we can do to make score reporting behave properly?
Thanks!

Hi Ginnycr,
I'm experiencing the same issue with Captivate 4 and it looks like this problem has been around for quite some time now. Have a look at this link:
http://www.koma-medien.de/elearning/forum/archive/index.php/t-1140.html
at the bottom of the thread someone posts this:
"The slow issue is resolved when I force the g_intAPIType to 0 (into the
<project>.htm file), so it force Captivate to communicate as if it was into IE."
Try it out and see if it works? I'll test on my end too. Hopefully one of us will come up with a solution! (or one of the nice Captivate experts on this forum will jump in and rescue us)

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

Reporting scores to SCORM LMS?

I've create some quizes in captivate made them scorm compliant by doing:
Edit->Preferences->Quiz->Reporting
Then checking Quiz: Enable reporting for this project
Under Learning Management System( LMS ):
chose Standard: Scorm, Manifest Template: Default
Report Status:
Complete/Incomplete
Report to LMS as:
Score
Choose Report Data:
Quiz Results Only
Reporting Level:
Report Score
I our LMS it sends the LMSInitialize Message, but never sends a LMSSetValue when the quiz if finished.
Is there something else I need to do to a quiz in order to report the score?

Test. Shows that there is a reply. I just can't see it yet.

Captivate 5 not Reporting Quiz scores correctly in LMS

Our organization is transitioning to Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. We are using SumTotal as our LMS. I took a CP4 project and converted to CP5, then uploaded it as a test. The results were dismaying.
Captivate 5 Scorm 1.2 apprears to send scores to the LMS instead of scaled scores. For example; If you have 20 questions the scaled score should always be 0 to 100.
In the example I converted from Captivate 4, I have 15 quiz questions. In my first try I scored 60% on the Quiz. Captivate reported to the LMS a percentage complete of 0 and a score of 90%. In my second attempt I scored 80% (which is required for passing from within the Quiz setup) and Captivate reported to the LMS 100% complete and a score of 100%.
I repeat, all worked fine with the same course published as Captivate 4.
I work for a very large multinational company. This is a killer for us if we want to go forward with Captive 5. In fact, I have just spent a lot of money upgrading everyone in my department - money wasted if we can't use the output with our LMS.
Does anyone have any ideas, and is there a way to get to someone at Adobe if this forum is unable to provide answers?
Sorry to sound panicked, but I guess I am.
Frank

Hi all
You're absolutely right. Adobe silence is extremely unsatisfactory and unprofessional. Below are the email correspondences. Does anyone know who are the President or the CEO and the email address? I think it’s about time to find out why from the top man himself.

Cap 2 not passing Score Data to LMS

Has anyone run into a problem with CAP 2 failing to pass the
cmi.core.score.raw value to an LMS? All other completion info seems
to be going fine and the quiz manager and Advanced interactions
screen look good. AM I missing something?

KB in FL,
Typically, it's because your LMS isn't following the SCORM
standard. You
can try to send the score as "Percent" and see if that helps.
Otherwise,
here's what's *supposed* to happen...
Captivate queries the LMS for what "core" children it
supports. Captivate
makes a call similar to:
LMSGetValue("cmi.core._children");
The LMS is supposed to respond with a comma-delimted string
of all of the
core values it supports
e.g.
"student_id,student_name,lesson_location,lesson_status,score,session_time..."
(Please note, this is only a subset of the string that
*could* be returned)
If the LMS doesn't return any values - then Captivate will
not send any
values to the LMS. Captivate only returns data for the values
that the LMS
supports. Did you notice the "score" value, in the string
above? Well -
that doesn't mean that the LMS supports *all* score values -
because
Captivate is then supposed to query the LMS for what "SCORE"
values it
supports:
LMSGetValue("cmi.core.score._children");
The LMS is supposed to return a string that contains
something similar to:
"raw,max,min"
If the LMS doesn't return the "raw" value - then the raw
score isn't sent to
the LMS.
I could validate this with a debug file I have laying
around...
http://www.learningconsulting.com/content/macromedia/captivate/Capviate_SCORM_Debug.zip
Run that file through your LMS and send me screen shots of
the dialogs that
appear at the end:
Andrew AT LearningConsulting DOT com
If it is what I think it is - Captivate can workaround this
non-compliant
LMS.
Regards,
Andrew

Odd scoring behavior in Plateau LMS

We have 2 Captivate files set up for SCORM 1.2 with all Quiz
Manager settings exactly the same: Enable output, Scorm 1.2, only
report the score, report pass/fail, report as percent, 85% or more
of total score to pass. The "quiz" and "options" tabs were left at
default values.
Each file has 1 button on the last page set to "Include in
Quiz" with a weighting of "0". We just want to record completion -
no score. Both files successfully record completion in our Plateau
LMS (where they are also set up in exactly the same way). However,
one scores 100% and the other scores 0%. I looked at the index
files and they are exactly the same.
Any ideas what might be causing the difference in score
registration in the Plateau LMS?

I found the article I was looking for:
http://www.icslearninggroup.com/whitepapers/macromedia-captivate-and-scorm.htm
I hope its helpful.

Plateau LMS

Hi,
I published a couple of lessons to the Plateau LMS using
Captivate 2 but it neither bookmarks or records. What do I have to
enable in order to make this happen?
Recording is more important than bookmarking, even if the
student cannot bookmark, it would be nice for the student to go
through the lessons as more of a review rather than taking it for
the first time again.

Hi,
I too have bookmarking issues with the Plateau LMS 5.5 and
C2. The scenario: The learner fails the assessment and leaves the
training. At a later time, the learner returns to retake the
assessment. The bookmarking will return the learner to the quiz
summary page, effectively skipping all of the question slides. THIS
ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE LEARNER RETURNS TO THE QUIZ THE FIRST TIME.
Subsequent visits place the learner at the beginning of the quiz
and the assessment executes as expected.
When the failed quiz is revisited it is safe to assume that
the learner wants to retake it. Is there a setting I am missing to
return the user to the beginning of the quiz every time, or is this
a "feature" of the Plateau LMS...
Thanks!

Flash quiz score tracking on LMS?

I m creating quiz in flash with socring. i want to upload it on LMS, i want to track my score on LMS. please help me with the same. thanks!

Try turning off bookmarking.
Turn off Self-Paced Learning in the TOC settings by unticking this option
This may not fix the issue for users that have already taken the course because the bookmark is actually a Flash Shared Object and these are not that easy to erase. Try it with a new user that hasn't done the course yet.
If the problem persists, you could also try turing off Resume Data to stop the LMS's own bookmarking.
To do this, you have to tick the option in LMS Customisation to Never Send Resume Data.

Can a question created in Flash send the score to Captivate?

Hi there,
I want to make a Quiz within Captivate. Because the Drag& Drop functionality is "not really perfect" in Captivate, i want to create a drag and drop question in Flash (AS2). There the user has to take rectangles(containing text or visual) to the corresponding rectangle. (The rectangles move, there are not just connecting lines like in CP4)
But of course there is a major problem: How do I get Flash to tell my Captivate Project: "User made everything right Score:10 points for this question" or "Question wrong send Wrong message within Captivate and give user 0 points"
Has anyone done something like that before? Create a quiz/question in Flash and put it into Captivate to receive scores
Thanks in advance
CaptiWare

Hi there
Well, if you are using Captivate 4 there are Widgets and the whole widget functionality. So theoretically, sure!
I can't tell you how to do that as I'm not Flash proficient quite yet. Fortunately, members of the Captivate team have been posting things on their blog about how to work with widgets. Click the link below for one such article to hopefully get you started.

Scores incorrect in LMS

I entered this topic several weeks ago and didn't get an
answer. So, I thought I would try again.
We have several quizzes that were created in Captivate 1. We
recently randomized the questions using Captivate 3. Everything
works correctly in Captivate but our LMS is only capturing part of
the interactions. Here's an example:
Quiz Results Screen shows 100% (40 out of 40 correct)
LMS captures 35 out of 40 which gives the user a score of
87.5
I checked the advanced interactions for each of the buttons
and click boxes. Everything is set correctly. The Quiz Results
screen in Catpivate calculates correctly but somehow the results
don't transfer to the LMS. Inquisix said that Scorm 1.2 only allows
4096 characters to be gathered and suggested I switch to Scorm
2004. I did and the LMS still doesn't get all of the results.
Inquisix is supposedly talking to one of the Captivate
Programmers about the issue but they are on vacation until 1/7/08.
Any body else have any ideas?

I believe this is an issue with CP3 only sending so much data
per every
couple of seconds. If you have a lot of questions, it can't
'keep up'
and by the time you've finished the test, the CP3 file hasn't
sent all
of the quiz data yet.
Perhaps an easy workaround would be to add a few pages to the
end of the
lesson - a summary of the course, perhaps contact
information, maybe a
screen of other resources they can check. If the above theory
is the
cause, those extra pages might give the lesson the extra time
it needs
to send the remaining data while the user goes through those
sections.
This method of sending data that CP3 is using is likely in
response to
previous problems where it was sending much larger chunks
much faster,
which was causing problems with various LMS products (too
much, too
fast). It seems now the problem has shifted to the other side
(too
little, too slow). Maybe by CP4 they'll get it right! Or at
least
provide developers to select their own timing options.
Technically, the LMS you're referring to is 'Inquisiq', I'd
guess ;-)
