Bookmarking without 'Continue from where you stopped last time?' popup

Hey,

I have been searching the forums and playing around with Captivate for a couple of days to try and find a solution to my problem, but I'm not coming up with any relevant answers.

I am very uninspired by the look of the default Captivate dialog window that pops up when I return to a lesson. It's the one that asks 'Continue from where you stopped last time?'

I've seen suggestions as to how to change the captions and the colours, but I can't find a way to just disable it and have the lesson resume from where the user stopped. I've tried turning off self-paced learning but this disables bookmarking all together.

I'm using the latest version of Captivate 9.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks,

Guy

They will be accessing it via an LMS. After many hours messing around I'm thinking the only options available to me are to use the built in TOC which comes with the annoying dialog, or don't use the TOC and this should allow the LMS to handle the bookmarking and auto resume where the user left off.

Is this what everyone else is observing?

Hi Rod,

I have not tested it on a web server yet, I am using my local drive so far. I have another question, but it might be related to the drive as well: The first slide of my training module includes audio which should start automatically but is not, I have to manipulate my playbar controls. I have it set up under options and have a wave audio clip. my other slides inside the module start automatically as they should. I have practice modules where I have videos embedded in the first slide, again the video (mp4) does not start automatically, however later video clips start as they should.

Thanks

Which browser did you use? AutoPlay has been banned from the Chrome browser, as you can read in many threads everywhere. Learn to live with AutoPlay turned off, look at:

Moreover avoid heavy audio clips on a first slide, they have to be loaded on top of all what has already to be load when starting a course. Same tip about a complicated advanced action; never on first slide.

How will your learners be accessing the course? If you're using an LMS, most provide bookmarking automatically.

I think you will find that the "annoying dialog" doesn't appear when you are using LMS bookmarking, even though you DO have the TOC turned on and visible.  It's one of the frequent complaints on this forum that this dialog DOES NOT appear when a project is set to report to an LMS.  So I suggest you give it a go, still with the TOC visible, and see what happens.
