Question

Captivate TOC

We have an extensive Captivate application running under Ilias LMS.
There are two user groups:

Group 1:
This group can access the TOC, but cannot navigate over the TOC. The TOC only provides information about the content. Nothing more. The members of this group must work through the application linearly.

Group 2:
This group can call the TOC and navigate over the TOC. Via the TOC the members of this group can move completely freely in the application.

Question:
Can this different usage be controlled via Scorm so that we only need to install the Captivate application once on the Ilias system?

 

Thanks for your answers.

Thomas

    It's not going to be very easy to control this without having a way to determine which of these two groups each user belongs to.  

     

    The easiest way to find out which group the user belongs to is simply to get the user to provide this information.  Would you trust them to provide this information by answering a question?  If not, and you need to interrogate the LMS SCORM database to know which group the learner belongs to, then the task would likely require you to have a budget big enough to purchase custom programming expertise.

     

    Once you know which group they are in then it's a relatively simple exercise to use Captivate's interactivity tools to lock the TOC so that the first group of users cannot successfully use it to navigate. 

     

    Alternatively, you could have the TOC locked by default and only unlock it for members of Group 2.  You could provide users in Group 2 with some kind of secret code that they can use to unlock the TOC when they access the course.  Any user without this code cannot use the TOC to navigate.

    The TOC provided by Captivate allows very little control, and I have really no idea how to set up this scenario from within Captivate. Why not create two courses, where you set up one without navigation possibilities and another one with it and let the LMS do the filtering? I have never used Ilias, but this is normally perfectly possible setting up rules in a LMS.
