Can I do the following with Captivate?

Question

We are designing a new curriculum in our office, trying to use Captivate 7. I am learning as I go but need to know if Captivate is capable of the following scenarios. I also would like to find a consultant in the San Francisco Bay area that would be able to help me get a handle on putting this together as there is some urgency in the project.

It may be best if, rather than describe what I have tried to do, I describe what I would like to have happen.

1. I have a 10 question survey that I would like to have people respond to by entering a number from 1 to 10.

2. I would prefer to have at least 5 of the questions on one slide and 5 on a second slide.

3. Once the questions are all answered, I would like the capability for the user to print the completed survey for their records AND I would like for the answers to be submitted to me so that they can be compiled into a chart to be referred back to at a later date.

4. In each question of the survey, I would like to embed a link that the user would use to activate a short video clip on the same slide (if possible) explaining more about what the question is asking. Once the video clip is finished, I would like for it to disappear from the slide. The user should then be able to enter their response to that question and move on to the next question, using the link to view the video associated with it, and so on until all the questions on the slide have been completed. They would then continue to the next slide.

5. There will be a lot of very short video clips in this curriculum and we would like to integrate them smoothly. When I put a video on a separate slide, I would like for the user to automatically be taken back to a previous slide when the video is finished playing. How do I do this.

It would be most helpful if I could find someone to work with me a bit in getting a handle on how to do these things. In person is usually most effective for me to get started but I would be open to working with someone remotely.

Thank you so much for any help that you can give. It is fairly important that I learn if Captivate is capable of what I have described above and, if not, how could I accomplish this? What other programs would I need to use?

Most of this is possible. It is a lot to bite off for a beginning Captivate user.

1. The Rating Scale (Likert) quiz question is designed for this. It only allows up to 5 answer options. You can set up a multiple choice question to have 10 answer options. A fill in the blank question allows users to type in a number. However, I don't think it'll be easy to chart your results through fill in the blank.

2. Captivate's built in Quiz questions do not allow more than one question on a slide.

3. You can view the user responses if the project is hosted on an LMS or Adobe Connect. Some of the playbars include a Print button.

4. You can package videos in the captivate project or use the Web Object Interaction to open external links within the project.

5. Assign the video slide On Exit: Jump to slide

You may find Google Forms helpful to gather your information. They're easy to create through Google Drive. You can guide users to the Form using the Web Object Interaction.

Good luck!
