Hi Paul, thanks for the video and the set up is more or less like in Captivate 2019. I have to publish SCROM 2004 and with 4th edition. After publishing it exporting a index.html file not a index_scorm.html file- is that correct?
When you publish to SCORM 2004, 4th edition, you will get an index.html file, which is normal for this reporting format. If your LMS vendor is telling you something different, perhaps double-check with them to ensure they are referencing the correct reporting format for your LMS.
Hi Paul. Thanks for your channel. I'd be lost without you. You mention bookmarking around 3:20 and refer to it as a way for the learner to pause the module and then resume later from that point instead of starting from the beginning. Do you have a tutorial that explains how to set up this type of bookmarking?
Bookmarking is on by default if you are publishing for one of the four elearning reporting formats. There is nothing to configure. If a learner exits the course and launches it again, It will return to the slide where they left.
Thanks for these tutorials, Paul! I managed to put my module online, but I cannot get rid of a grey "start" arrow that shows up before the course title page, both in Wordpress and in the Captivate preview. Is there a way around this?
Okay, a bit of history on this play button. There was a period of time a few years ago where websites started to hijack your browser to play video or audio advertisements without your permsion. People complained about this to the browser makers like Microsoft and Google. The solution was to require permission to play multimedia. Unfortunately this impacted the elearning industry as well. You can turn off the play button for your project but turning off the play button will only work if there is no multimedia on your first slide. As soon as you add some slide audio or a video, the playbutton will reappear. Here are the steps to turn it off. Click on the *Edit* dropdown in *Windows* or the *Adobe Captivate* dropdown in *macOS* and select *Preferences* . Select the *Project* category on the left side of this panel and then select the *Publish* sub category. Check the *Autoplay* option on the right. Again if there is any audio or video on your opening slide this will not work.
Hi Paul , thanks for your video! I have a question: I'm trying to export my project to html with Visual Studio Code, but I only have white media on my web page preview. Whether in export or livepreview, same result... have you had this case and if so how did you manage to succeed? Thank you :)
I have not encountered this. Ensure you are running the latest version of Adobe Captivate, as Adobe has patched some bugs in the recent releases. Assuming you have done that and it hasn't helped, contact Adobe for further troubleshooting. Email the technical support team at captivatehelp@adobe.com describing your problem, and someone from Adobe will get back to you.
Hey Paul, I've published as SCORM 1.2 but my client isn't receiving scores on their LMS. Any idea why the quiz wouldn't be sending the information back to the LMS?
I would test your published project with another LMS. For example, you could use SCORM Cloud or Review My eLearning to test the course to see if it's reporting a score. If the same module is working with one of these alternative then you can rule out that it's a Captivate issue.
Hi Paul, thanks for your videos, they've been really helpful. I have a quick question - I don't want my course to be online - it contains sensitive info. In the old captivate I'd publish as MP4 and then they'd be on a local drive that my colleagues can access. Is there a way to do this in all-new captivate? All I see is publish as html, and then there seems to be no way to actually access and take the course from the resulting file that's published. Am I missing something obvious?
Because Adobe Captivate 12 is responsive design there is no such thing as a fixed aspect ratio like video would have. Therefore, publishing as a video is not an option. This may change in the future.
I find myself going back and forth between the two. There are occasions where I need classic but others when I want the new features. I have to pick and choose.
Hi Paul, I'm new to the program and using it for a course that requires me to add my course to Review360. I have scoured the internet and can't figure out how to do this. 1. Is it possible? 2. If so, how do you do it? When I try to upload my zip file it says file not supported.
I'm not sure what you mean as the translation isn't clear. However, Adobe Captivate 12 is an application you install on your computer. It is a subscription service but not a web application, if that helps.
Hi Paul, I followed all of your instructions on my quizzes, but quiz data isn't able to be seen in my Learndash LMS. Do you know of anything I could look at to get my quiz data to appear? I saved it in API because it provides more detailed quiz data. Thank you!
When you say API, do you mean xAPI? If so, my question would be, does Learndash support xAPI? This article might help you out: www.learndash.com/support/docs/reporting/scorm-xapi/
Hi Just would like to ensure about the publishing file. This is the way that I can get the scorm package right? If I have only 1 Video I just put it on the slide. Setting at report tap like your suggestion and publish then I can get the scorm package for other LMS right? Thank your very much for your video. :)
That's correct. Open Captivate Preferences from the Edit dropdown (Windows) or the Adobe Captivate dropdown (Mac). Click on Quizzing. Click on Reporting. Select Enable Reporting and select the Standard your LMS uses. Click on Configure to set the name of the Course ID, Course Title and so on. At the very least put in a course title (the rest is optional). Click Back and select Status Representation to Incomplete to Complete (if there is no quiz). Select Slide views and set it for number and input a value of 1. Click OK and proceed to publish. The course will be considered complete if they view your one slide.
Hi Paul, have you ever came across an issue publishing to the LMS and received a “BR file” not supported? I have used Captivate since version 3 and never had an issue. This is my first project that I am publishing with New Captivate (12.2) to a Sumtotal LMS (2004 v4 and 1.2 SCORM file format) and it does not work. I also uploaded to SCORM Cloud and it worked fine. After some Googling, I found that it is a compression file format that Adobe is using (in the dist folder published output- it’s a JS file). As luck would have it, I deleted the two files and somehow the project continued to work. However, I really would like to understand what these files are for and if it will affect the project negatively in the long run. A thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince
Hi Paul, I have uploaded 12.3 captivate package on scorm . In success and completion criteria, I have selected Quiz is Passed. When I complete the entire course I am getting 100% on scorm as I have selected All the correct answer. 1) But the issue is when I Launch the course again it redirects me directly to the last visited slide. In Adobe captivate Classic version, When we relaunch the course again there is Popup comes and on that "Continue from where you stop last time" Ok and Cancel button was there. But in new Adobe captivate this popup is not comming it is redirecting me directly to the last visited slide. 2) In Adobe Captivate 12.3 version, when we relaunch the course which is half completed previously, it is not showing checked for the previously selected slides in Table of Content. In Classic version, it shows the checked in Table of content for previously visited slides after relaunch the course. Is this bug of All new Adobe Captivate 12.3 or I have missed some setting for project in reporting? Thanks in Advance.
Thank you for reaching out about your experience with Adobe Captivate 12.3. While I can't directly troubleshoot Adobe products, I'd be happy to connect you with the appropriate resources. For your inquiries regarding SCORM completion criteria, relaunch behavior, and Table of Content display in Adobe Captivate 12.3, the Adobe Captivate support team is the best point of contact. They have extensive knowledge and can assist you with troubleshooting these specific questions. You can reach them directly by email at captivatehelp@adobe.com. I hope this helps!
Hey Paul, I'm a bit late to the party but I published a Project, everything was fine. But when I went back in, made some edits and tried to publish via an identical method, the Zip File is not being created. Any experience with this? :)
Thanks Paul! I am new to your Channel. I am using the new Adobe Captivate (version 12). Within Captivate it appears that the resulting eLearning course is appropriately responsive on all types of devices. The HTML5 version that I published and tested seems to work fine. But when I publish it to SCORM and test it out on our LMS, the course is no longer responsive. Images are way too large on laptops and smart phone displays, etc. We are publishing and testing it out on LMS365. Do you have any experience with this problem? Do you have any sense of what might be causing this? I know that the "all new" Captivate is designed to be responsive by default, but it is not responsive when you access it through the LMS.
It could be something your LMS is doing to force a certain aspect ratio or size. For this type of troubleshooting I suggest you reach out to Adobe and your LMS provider. You can reach Adobe at captivatehelp@adobe.com.
I'll leave it to Paul for the definitive answer, but I imagine that, yes, you can upload the published ZIP package to SharePoint, but SharePoint cannot run the project the way an LMS runs it. (If I'm wrong, I'd be very happy to learn otherwise.) In other words, you can store it there just as you would in a folder on your computer, and other people can download the the ZIP package from SharePoint. But if they want to actually run the project, they'll need to upload it to an LMS (like Canvas) or to one of the online services that allow someone else to view your project. As far as I know, Microsoft is not in the LMS business, and 365 doesn't have the ability to do that. Paul has done an excellent video about "Review My e-Learning," a web-based service where you can demonstrate a project to others (by sending them a link) and receive feedback on it. Similarly, Paul has done a video on how you can put the project in an Amazon Web Service account, and then give people a link to view it. Neither of these allows you to collect the results of their responses, though--they're not meant for students. I think one thing that would be great would be a comprehensive explanation of all the different ways that a published Captivate project can be viewed and used. For example, I've heard that you can run a project on WordPress, but I haven't been able to figure that out yet. One could also use Storm Cloud, another online service which not only gives you the user's results, but something called xAPI data--information about how they use the project. Canvas is not capable of doing that, but for my purposes, it would wonderful, because my college uses Canvas. So much of this depends upon how one intends to deliver the project--who's going to use it and within the context of what institution (what resources the institution has). I'm kind of in the minority, I think, because I'm using Captivate not for "e-learning" but for discrete lessons in classes. Not many educators who teach classes on Canvas are also making lessons with Captivate--but they should. [Upon further investigation, I see that there are third-party services that you could pay for that would run a SCORM package (created with Captivate) inside of Microsoft 365--or SharePoint/Teams . That's basically like subscribing to an LMS that runs inside of 365, instead of on its own, and your 365 administration would have to buy it and enable it. Inspired by your question, @treetikakumari2080, I've check out something called "Go1." It's an app that can be added to Teams (as long as it is made available by your 365 administration) , and it will run a SCORM package in Teams. If your SharePoint is a team SharePoint, then create a Teams interface, and install the "Go1" app. Then you can upload the published Captivate projected there and the members of the SharePoint can view it.]
SharePoint doesn't function like a proper web server so I wouldn't recommend trying to use it. You would need to convert all your html5 into PHP files and that would likely break your eLearning course. I use Amazon Web Services for the distribution of eLearning when a full LMS isn't available. This video is the previous version of Captivate but the process would be similar. th-cam.com/video/qtF4vPNRWu0/w-d-xo.html
