Tracking Captivate Quizzes and Assessments in Articulate Presenter in AICC LMS
2 Comments Dave blogged on Wednesday, July 26, 2006 at 8:48 AM.
Well it is possible, you just have to insert the Captivate Quiz or Assessment in Articulate as a web object instead of inserting the Captivate file as a Flash Movie.
- Open up the assessment/quiz in Captivate
- Turn on LMS tracking (either SCORM or AICC)
- Publish from Captivate
- This will create an output folder with 3 files, one is exit.swf, one is your projectname.html, and one is projectname.swf.
- Rename the html file to index.html
- Open up PPT
- Select Articulate>Insert Web Object
- Select Next
- Click Browse and browse to and select your folder you published to in step 3/4
- Click Next>Finish
- Select Articulate>Publish>Web (note Web not LMS)
- Upload your output to your LMS
This is cool because it allows you to track your existing Captivate content in Articulate Presenter, something which even Breeze Presenter can't do.
Notes: Doing this bypasses the use of Articulate Presenters LMS integration code, and relies entirely upon using Captivate LMS integration code. Also, I have only tested this with AICC communication, and I am not sure if it will work with SCORM.
The reason it might not work with SCORM is that in some instances there is a timeout value on when communication has to begin with the LMS after the content is launched. In this scenario if you have the Captivate assessment late in a presentation communication won't begin until you reach that slide, which could be several minutes, which would cause the LMSInitialize to time out.

Do you have any advice on creating a Captivate movie, publishing it as SCORM or AICC, importing into Articulate, publishing, then loading into Moodle?
I have a quiz in Captivate (3), with scoring, that needs to be part of an Articulate (5.2) presentation. I then need it all in a moodle (1.8.3) course.
The captivate movie plays, the articulate presentation works, and I can crate the ZIP. But when I import into moodle, I get an error about not having a manifest.
I then created the 4 magic AICC files (au, crs, cst, and des). Still no luck.
Any pointers?
