Question
Captivate does not support more than one project in a course
Gentlefolk;
Our LMS administrator was evaluationg Captivate looking for issues, and she found this in the manual:
"A course can contain more than one project. Each project is treated as a distinct SCO. However, Adobe Captivate does not support more than one project in a course."
Having read this a half-dozen times now, I realize I have no idea what this means.
My interpretation is:
A course can be designed -- course here being the sum total of what is to be taught -- that contains more than one project, whcih makes sense, since a course is going to have many parts, or modules, and each module would be a Captivate project. And each project is its own SCO, and that too makes sense.
However, Captivate does not support more than one project in a course -- this appears to contradict the first part, but I gather that each Captivate project -- the sum total of all the elements used to export out a Captivate SWF file -- is for this discussion being termed a "course" -- in short, I see a semantic issue, but not a technical one, for a course (all that is being taught) will be compose of modules (components, or SCOs) and each Captivate project (sum of all bits and pieces) will produce a SWF file that is a module, and treated as a course -- although structurally this "course" is just a "module" or component of a larger effort.
Now, I could be WAAAYYYYYY over thinking this...but I was trying to see if this manual caution was signficant in any way, or just an exercise in mangled semantics.
Many thanks!
Don
