Adobe Captivate 7 - table of contents and activated self-paced learning

Hello,

I have produced an e-Learning in Adobe Captivate 7. In the program I used the function that the table of contents will be created automatically out of the sheets which are in the filmstrip. In the settings of the table of contents I activated the self-paced-learning. With this function it will be possible that every learner can choose individually the order of chapters and can start them.

After exporting and reviewing the e-Learning I noticed that only those chapters of the table of contents can be start by mouse click which consist of one sheet in the filmstrip. Chapters of the table of contents which are a group in the filmstrip can't be start by mouse click.

Why is that and how can I reach that all chapters will be started by mouse click in an individual order?

Thank you for your answers!

    Thank You RodWard for your quick answer!

    I agree with you that the Problem with the grouping slides is not really satisfactory.


    Despite I have got a question:

    I will use a LMS to publish the e-Learning course. Do I have to check the instruction of the LMS to find out how Learnes can bookmarking theire user sessions? Or will this function never work together with Adobe Captivate 7? So is it usefull to not activate bookmarking in Adobe Captivate?

    Erika,

    Self-paced Learning is actually a misleading name for this function.  This check box activates a feature that is actually just bookmarking which slide the learner reached during their user session.  It DOES NOT allow the learner to change the order of the slides.  And this type of bookmarking is DISABLED if you happen to be using an LMS or other reporting mechanism.

    Grouping slides in the structure will create an indented group in the TOC (after you regenerate the TOC again) but the head item in this TOC group is NOT a slide.  So that's why clicking the group head item does not work.  I agree this is really unintuitive and a common cause of complaint from users.  Adobe doesn't see it as an important enough usability error to fix at the moment.

    If you allow full navigation by TOC, each user will be able to click any slide in the TOC, whatever the sequence.

    If you want them only to navigate to chapters, not to individual slide, a workaround for the non-clickable Chapter titles, is to hide all slides except the first slide of a chapter and use that as a navigation goal instead of the chapter names themselves.

    Thank you Lilybiri‌ for your supplement.

    Your written solution for non-clicking chapter titles is not practicable for my project. I think the user will be irritated because he or she see that one chapter consists of one slide. So he or she concludes that the chapter ist finished after viewing the first slide, but there are just a few slides which are not visible but still have to be viewed to finish the chapter...
