Captivate 2 doesn't create scorm support files or manifest

I received a course from another developer which needs to be configured to use SCORM to communicate with our LMS. The course doesn't include a formal quiz. The idea is to set the cmi.core.lesson_status to complete when they reach the last slide. I've gone into the Quiz Manager, set enable reporting, scorm, report complete/incomplete, report slide views only , report score to lms as percent, and reporting level as only report the score.

When I publish the course, the SCORM_suppport folder, docs and manifest file (et al) are not created. I've not had this problem with a course before. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks.

Spot on Rick!

For our LMS I sometimes put a button interaction on each slide (the interaction has no score vaoue). This is just in case I want to generate a report that describes the amount of time a user spends on each slide.

From troubleshooting this same issue a few times, I'd say Rick is right
on target! Setup at least one scored interaction and see how it goes. A
side-effect may then be how that effects the grading status. Just
setting that scored interaction to a weight of 0, I think, should get
around that...should it be a problem.

just had the exact same problem. Drove me batty for about an hour. I have tons of interactivity, just none of it was graded. I added a generic "I certify that I have completed all content in this training" T/F question and BAM... got all the manifest and associated files i needed on output.

It's a bit misleading that the system will let you set output type to SCORM and not warn you that it wont actually DO it until there's a graded objects. We have other SCORM development tools that let us publish content without graded objects. I suppose diversity is what keeps techs in business though :)

Hi JDSang and welcome to our community

I would highly encourage you (and anyone else) to submit a Feature Request form when you see things such as this that you wished behaved in a different manner. I can't stress enough how important this is. Believe it or not, they DO pay attention to these!

So if you are so inclined, Click here and complete the form.

Cheers all... Rick

Hi MO66

First off, I'm wanting to go on record as stating that in no way am I even remotely any LMS expert.

However, I believe you may need at least a single interactive object (Button or Click Box) in order for the Captivate output to be considered scorable and working like you need/want with your LMS.

Personally, I'd just try adding a Button object on the first slide that says something like "Click here to continue". Once clicked by your user, the movie would proceed and it would be counted.

I'm not 100% sure this will do what you need. But I believe I've seen it mentioned somewhere.

Sincerely... Rick
