Question

Basic Questions On Scoring and LMS with Captivate 4

Hello,

Forive me if this question is too basic for this forum, but I have to ask it somewhere.

I am an academic librarian who develops tutorials using Capitvate 4.  Each tutorial I develop has about 5 true/false, multiple choice questions.  My technical knowledge is limited as a "librarian," but is strong enough to storyboard, develop graphics, and write elearning tutorials. But I have no idea on how to  capture the results from my quizes and perform assessments, which is what I really need to do.

So, basically, what do I need to do?  Do I ask my university to tap into their LMS?  Coordinate with someone in a techncial services capacity and let them handle it? Have test results emailed using Captivate?  Use something called Moodle? Wait until Captivate 5 comes out?  I do not need anything fancy; just percentages on pass/fail rates associated with 5 questions or so.

Are there some basic instructions out there?

Best,

George Germek

Hello,

Since you seem to have a LMS, the easiest way is to let handle the assessment by the LMS. You'll have to ask where you can store the SCORM-objects(will explain soon) so that the users you want to reach can have access to them. The LMS takes care of the login for the users, and can link the results of an assessment to this user. You'll have to ask for the rights to have access to these results.

Creating a SCORM-object from CP is possible, but you need to know which SCORM-standard is supported by the LMS. Then you will decide what you want to have reported from the LMS: p.e. only the score, if they failed/passed (when you have put in a mastery score), how many attempts they made etc. If you have this information, would be glad to help you set up a first SCORM-object from a CP-file.

E-mailing results is a bit tricky in CP4, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

In CP5 you'll have other possibilities than a LMS (by the way Moodle is a free LMS, do not think this will be OK for you because you already have a LMS around): posting the results to acrobat.com (rather simple process, really) or using an internal webserver (but then you'll need some technical assistance I'm afraid).

Hope this gives you some ideas?

PS: just realize this was your first posting. Welcome on this forum, George.

Hello,

Ok, so I need to talk to someone who manages our LMS, which is called "E-campus," and then ask that person where I can store assessment/score results data? Also, I will need to find out what SCORM-standard is supported at my university LMS?

In other words, perhaps someone who works with our LMS should get involved and partner with me. Or, perhaps wait for C5 and have the results posted to acrobat.com? Acrobat will provide storage space?


Best and thanks,

George

Hello,

About Acrobat.com: I'm using the free version (you'll only need you Adobe ID, the same you use for posting on this forum) and it provides 5GB.

If you can have access to your LMS you can start right away. Producing a SCO-object from Captivate is just a matter of putting in the right parameters (once you've got them, all is OK).
